Update: Collect your prizes:

Anyone wishing to collect your prizes, simply create *BR-5*s with the names you would like to change into BR-6s. Save those ships at Wolf 359 and then either email me directly, contact me in-game, or post a comment here, listing those names. Alternatively, if you would like any of your ships that are listed the “ships” category below to be converted into BR-6s, I can do so and the current stats for those ships will remain in place. (Note: BR-6s will only be available in Delta Quadrant)

Prizes are available as follows:

Merlin 11 BR-6s
PZ 4 BR-6s
Harold 2 BR-6s
2×4 2 BR-6s
squirel 2 BR-6s
turba 1 BR-6
Mike 1 BR-6
obit 1 BR-6
lich 1 Br-6

Thanks!

Update: Winners announced!

Thanks to everyone who participated,

In the Player category, it was a close one, but it seems Merlin just managed to squeak by PZ with 693 conflicts vs 87. Congrats Merlin!

For the next week or so, I’ll give all the winners a chance to claim their BR-6s as lined out in the original Challenge announcement below. Stay tuned for details on collecting prizes.

Original Challenge [Final Results]

Alright, our first challenge is here!

For the next 2 weeks, effective immediately, there will be a contest to see who can rack up the highest number of conflicts. There will be two categories: players, and ships. To be eligible, the ship must be created and flown only during the 2-week challenge period. There’s no need to sign up or anything; simply create a new ship and start shooting stuff! Players not wishing to participate may continue to play the game normally. (caution: if you log a challenge-eligible ship into the game after the 2-week period ends and before the results are officially announced, that particular ship will no longer be eligible for this challenge)

Start: 2015-04-26 00:00:01 Eastern Standard Time

Stop: 2015-05-10 00:00:01 Eastern Standard Time

Prizes will be awarded as follows:

The winner of the players category will receive six Orion BR-6 class ships.

The ships category below will display the top 20 challenge-eligible ships. The owning players of those 20 ships will be given the opportunity to “upgrade” any of those ships to a BR-6 at the end of the challenge.

You can check this page at any time to see the real-time standings.

thanks!
