Hunna Snakes Rule! May Community Challenge
[h2]End of Month Wrap-up:[/h2]
(original challenge description below)
This last month you all have shown your Indie stripes and refused to play any games for “the man.” You and your crew did just fine on the fringes! Who needs trade permits when you’ve got smugglers? Who needs high-level shipyards when you’ve got- okay, well, maybe that would’ve been nice. But still!
It’s been a lot of fun reading your stories and hearing about your adventures. If you want to catch up on the fun, you can check out the challenge discussion thread and head to our Discord and go to #hunna_snakes_rule_challenge.
[h3]A few highlights:[/h3] MasterShake, for engaging Captain’s Logs with stories of combat gone wrong (crew member ☠) and gone surprisingly right (3 non-combat crew and a medic holding their ground against enemy boarders).
Lord Duluth for keeping Indie crew members on board who normally wouldn’t make the cut. When you live on the edges, you work with who (or what) is available.
Innocent and aware17, along with MasterShake, for coming in with crews that were nearly all Indie at the end of the challenge. 👏👏👏
Swuul for entertaining narratives on the challenges of helping the Hunna. Who knew it would be nearly impossible to find Advanced Electronics?
Steven of the Seven Sails, who along with Swuul was practically writing full fan-fiction stories for us all and getting lots of nice spice reactions in the Discord.
Great work, Captains! There are so many more of you who participated in the challenge, shared great screenshots and stories; thank you all! Of course, even though May is over, we would love to hear about your try at this challenge (or any of the previous community challenges) any time you’re looking for a fun twist to your playthrough.
[h3]Stay tuned for future challenges![/h3]
It’s been a while, but we are back with a new challenge for the month of May 2022!
Star Traders are independent and don’t need the establishment to be successful. In this challenge, we want to see you reject those faction phonies. You play by your own rules, and if they don't like it: tough. Who will acquire success without ever being part of "the system" -- and who isn’t afraid to make some enemies along the way?
To qualify for this challenge, your Captain must never acquire a military rank, edict, or even a trade permit with any faction. Your Captain must also never accept missions from any Contact representing "the man" -- Princes, Warrant Officers, Military Officers -- Only those who flaunt those rules are worth are consideration. No missions from ANY Contact unless:
All other Contact services, such as selling Intel, recruiting and purchasing equipment are allowed with any Contact, regardless of their affliation.
Show and tell us about your fiercely independent captain and crew with screenshots and stories, stats, let’s plays, interpretive dance videos, etc. You can share them here or in our Discord. At the end of the month, we’ll highlight several with the Trese Brothers flashlight.
[h3]Show your indie stripes and boast about:[/h3]
No matter what you share, we ask that you include at least one screenshot of your “Indie crew roster.” Show off your coolest officers and crew and their Indie flag!
If you post in the Discord, please post in the #hunna_snakes_rule_challenge channel in the STF category.
We've opened up a discussion on the general forum for all posts, questions and shares for this challenge!
Can’t wait to see ‘em Captains. Stick it to “the man!”
