XU Forum Quest - Round 8

[X2-Illuminatus]

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.

• 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.

Way easier than the previous rounds, come on
Gotta search for the 1st question, though

[is.terra]

I want to take part too.

I don't fully understand №3: sector was named after a ship or a ship is named after the the sector?

Thanks.

According to:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/namesake
Namesake is
1. a person or thing named after another
2. a person or thing with the same name as another

As the question said which famous ship was namesake, that states that a ship was named after a sector. The anwser will be, what name was the ship.

Im not a dev so, a dev will need to confirm.

edit:
Atlast an easy round for a while

I don't fully understand №3: sector was named after a ship or a ship is named after the the sector?

The former.

[Thunders]

Way easier than the previous rounds

That's fine with me.

Q1: Consecrated Fire

The Rankings were updated.

[EmperorJon]

Forgot to participate.

[abskons]

Hi, in the X-Encyclopedia is mentioned the AP Aladna Hill... isn't it eligible for Q3?

[X2-Illuminatus]

While it is possible that the sector is named after the ship, it's nowhere mentioned directly, isn't it?


Edit: The new round just has started.

[abskons]

You're right...my fault...had misinterpreted the question...thought a ship after a sector not a sector after a ship...
