Hello, Community!
Welcome to the X-Universe Forum Quest, let us introduce this little project.
We would like to offer you a competition while you wait for X Rebirth to be released and thus play X3: Terran Conflict probably for the 1000th time. We're quite sure that you know the universe you're playing in by now and so we have come up with some riddles for you to solve. Your knowledge of the sectors, ships, stations as well as the history of X will be put to the test in this competition.
This competition is not just to pass the time until X Rebirth is released. We have great prizes for the winners and for one "Lucky Loser". So be sure to take part. Even if you don't win, you might be the lucky one that gets the special prize. Ensure that you read the rules below. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We look forward to seeing how much you know about the X universe.
Rules:
- All registered users of the EGOSOFT forums are permitted to participate with the exception of EGOSOFT staff members, administrators and members of the XU Forum Quest group.
- Answers are only considered valid if submitted via email to xuforumquest@egosoft.com including your forum nick. Note that you should inform us if you change your nick, otherwise you risk losing your score.
- Please use XU Forum Quest Round x (where x is the number of the current round) as the subject for your email entry.
- If multiple entries are submitted by the same user then only the first one received will be considered valid.
- If multiple users share the same score, those who have participated in more rounds will be ranked higher. Should both scores be the same, then the users will share the same rank.
- If any user posts a solution to a question (right or wrong) in the forum, they may be excluded from that round and the answer will be removed.
- A 'Lucky Loser' is to be randomly selected from the users that have participated in at least 42% of the rounds and who is not ranked among the top three users.
Prizes:
- The winner receives a signed copy of X Rebirth, a Steam X-Superbox and a poster
- 2nd place gets a steam copy of both X Rebirth and X-Superbox
- 3rd place gets a Steam copy of X Rebirth
- The Lucky Loser will also receive a steam copy of X Rebirth
Standings:

Time limit for round: 14.05.2012 24:00 CET

| 2 is very VERY easy, assuming you want the station's name and not its location or anything. |
To be honest, the location seems to be pretty doable as well

My first ever visit to the forum quest. Seems I'll have to visit more often!
I agree fully with Lwerewolf.
Question 1) I know the race but now I need to race (no pun intended) around to find it.
Question 2) I'm parked there at this exact moment! (the games running in the background).
Question 3) As Already mentioned, if you know the lore...
Good Luck all.

Sent it 20 minutes before the deadline, but that's nothing new... If you've got time, why send it
Anyways...
Q1 - Rhonkar's Trial. At first I thought the station was a trading port
Q2 - Royal Boron Shipyard. Even with the location it's easy (queen's retribution)
Q3 - Family T'kr. Sector description
