XU Forum Quest - Round 2 [Ended]

Post by 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.

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

I'd rather be the lucky loser than the 3rd place winner!!!

(3rd place winner gets a Steam copy of the Superbox, while the lucky loser gets X-R? I think it should be the other around, or both should get the Steam X-R, but I am not the prize giver. Just a suggestion).

Nice questions, they weren't exactly easy either, and that's what makes them good in my opinion. At least these questions were a lot harder for me given that I could've come to the cunclusions of round 1 within a few minutes.
Well I thought I was about able to identify every single ship of X3TC but Q2 proved me wrong. Gave me a hard time finding the ship.

But I really found myself having fun trying to find the sector, I even nearly guessed it correct upon first seeing the picture.

Hm anyway, also, any word on how many rounds there are going to be around or is it going to be decided when the times appropriate for a decision?

The plan is to let the quest run to the release of X Rebirth.
The terran name for the sector?
There is only one name for the sector in question 1.

@Aro: The question asked for "system" not "sector". "System" as in "Solar System".

I'm a bit confused, does question 2 mean which class of ship (m5/6etc) or what exact ship it is?

Well, I'm back in time to participate in round 2. :D


Can I ask for confirmation on the whole system/sector thing? I mean, I know which sector it's in AND I believe I know which system it is. But what's wanted.

The exact ship. If the answer would be a class, we would ask for the class of this ship.

If the answer is a sector name, we ask for a sector. If the answer is a system name, we ask for system. ;)

Just to make things clear. The answer to question 2: "Which kind of ship is this?" should be a specific ship e.g. Mammoth not a ship type (kind)- TL in this example right :?: It would not make it easier as one would have to find the exact ship in question anyway, except perhaps for those who just guess.

@drakul
Yes, that's exactly what I wrote in my post above yours. ;)

@EmperorJon
In question one we look for a sector name and in question three for a system name.

Sorry, I did not refresh the browser for a while (desperately looking for the ship in Q2) :) and I didn't notice your post.
Much appreciated for the answer.

Just a heads up, we got an email with no user name. Now since it was just this one we made use of some forum powers and found out what forum nickname it belongs too.

Note that this is exceptional, make sure to include your forum name, future emails will not be looked up and will be discarded. :-)

MFG
