Weekend quests

[warlock]

Anyone remember the quest about a year ago, clues had to be solved and the prize was a graphics card. Does anyone else think it might be a good idea to do more of these especially at the weekend, the prizes don't have to be massive , a T.shirt and a few ship skins maybe. Thoughts please.

It does sound fun, perhaps once a month or once a quarter.

Having run a competition/event in the past it's surprising how much prep work and organisation these things take.

iirc that particular one with the graphics card involved an in game commodity being placed at a single space-port in the game and a CG in another system to deliver the cargo to. Not the easiest to organise one of those every weekend when the Devs arn't at work to fix any issues.

Sounds great. Maybe one per fiscal quarter with enough depth to take some time to solve. Quests finding a specific satellite with no further clues is more about luck being in the right place rather than solving a mystery. Would need clues in the Galnet newspapers revealing maybe three possible paths for combat, trading, exploration to resolve the mystery.

I'd love to see it. It reminds me of the Treasure Hunt miniplot from Terran Conflict +++SPOILERS+++ https://roguey.co.uk/x3tc/help/spike/treasure1.php

Similar to the Formidine Rift search but in a less brutal and more casual approach.

So long as the "weekend" starts at an appropriate time for Australia/New Zealand and other players in these time zones!
