Do You Even Drift?
The team is heads down, crunching development for the next major update, Enceladus. So we came up with a fun challenge to test your pilot skills without requiring teammates nor opponents.
This is the Drift King Challenge! You'll need:
- A Scout Ship
- The Enceladus Map
What's at stake?
The unofficial, honorary title of Drift King!
First, you'll want to work your way up to the challenge by sharpening your piloting skills using these videos as a guide.

Map: Enceladus
Ship Type: Scouts or Fighters
Boost: Always On
Begin by asserting control over your ship. And
test your scout or fighter's ability to simply fly
through the narrowest of obstacles. And make
sure you can do this without even scratching
the paint off your ship!
[h3]Then Try Drifting Through Obstacles[/h3]

Map: Enceladus
Ship Type: Scouts or Fighters or Heavies
Boost: Just enough to drift
At this point you can perform the drift mechanic
and now you'll test your ability to manipulate
the maneuver around large obstacles. Drifting
between the gap made by terraformers and
their arms can be executed with any ship.

Map: Dominion
Ship Type: Scouts or Fighters
Boost: Always On
When the map rotation arrives to Dominion,
look for either outpost and fly to the top
plate. Once there, time your entry because
that space windmill is unforgiving! Fly through
the middle and drift your way out the other side.

Map: Enceladus
Ship Type: S301 Scout (only)
Boost: Always On
So far this is the mother of all drift king challenges! Once on Enceladus, take your Scout ship to the top of any Terraformer. Your goal is much like the 'Basic' challenge from earlier. However, this time your challenge is to drift through the other side! Give yourself enough space so that your boost will last through your journey. We're looking for flawless execution, meaning not even a single scratch against your ship.
We've only seen this performed with the S-301 Scout. Feel free to try another ship and show us that it can be done! And if it proves to be too easy, raise the bar for us by submitting a more challenging drift for the community.
If you successfully perform any of the stunts above, let us know via any of our social media platforms, including:
- Steam Forums
- Discord
- Twitter
- Facebook
- Reddit
If you can show us video of yourself successfully performing the Drift King challenge, we'll give you a much deserved a shout-out on our social media platforms recognizing your "Drift King" status! As well as the highly coveted Drift King role on Discord to call out your Drift King status!
Severs are open and available 24/7 so you can try the Drift King challenge at any time.
This contest is open until the Enceladus major update goes live.
