XU Forum Quest - Round 4 [Ended]

Post by **Ketraar** » Tue, 27. Sep 11, 15:39

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 [no more mails please] 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 Steam X-Superbox
The Lucky Loser will also receive a steam copy of X Rebirth

Which ship type is this?

Sorry, type or name here?

edit: Ok, thanks!

Post by **X2-Illuminatus** » Fri, 30. Sep 11, 19:01

The shiptype, i.e. the name that is displayed in the ship list of the sector map, not the ship class (e.g. M0).

If there is more than one ship with the same model, will you accept all correct answers?

Post by **X2-Illuminatus** » Sat, 1. Oct 11, 18:27

Yes, we will.

I'm sure no ships have the SAME model, except a few which aren't in the game stealing other's models. I mean, if you spawn in all the Nova variants for example you'll see a lot of difference between them.

@yrs

Yes. Easeeee.

Are you sure? I think some of the Hauler/Raider etc fighter variants do actually use the same model. Can't think of a specific example to back that up though.

Just sent in my entry. Hope it doesn't get flagged as spam this time, I almost had a heart attack last round (figuratively speaking of course).

Example to my question: Blastclaw and Blastclaw Prototype share the same model. I couldn't ask directly .. of course

Post by **Ketraar** » Tue, 11. Oct 11, 12:21

Both were accepted as valid, given the ship type is the same, prototype is a variant of the same ship type Blastclaw.

I can not believe ten people made no error so far...

EmperorJon · Post by **EmperorJon** » Tue, 11. Oct 11, 18:05

I knew plenty of people would make no errors. There are easy ways of answering generally every question. That's why I'm annoyed that I missed the first round. I've got 3 perfect rounds, but that's useless.

New round means new possibility to get 10 points again. Have fun!
