Hello, Noveans!

We’re thrilled to announce our latest build contest! We’re looking for exceptional ship designs to include in an upcoming feature of update 1.4. This would be for a VR challenge that is like the current atmospheric and space piloting challenges available in the VR network, that will take players to an orbital installation above Alioth.

We want to invite every Novean to have a chance to get their ship included in this new mission. This is a very quick draw type shipbuilding competition, and to participate, you must submit your ship design using our form by May 8th, 2023, @ 16:00 UTC.

To be eligible, your ship must meet these requirements:

 

  • Be able to fly in both atmosphere and space.
  • Be an S-core hauler capable of carrying a minimum of 33 tons of cargo out of Alioth's atmosphere without any piloting talents, with at least seven (7) thousand liters of cargo volume.
  • No weapons.
  • Have a stand-out design! Send us your most unique and interesting builds.


All shipwrights chosen will have their ship included in the upcoming orbital mission and will also win three months of game time.

 

Good luck, Noveans! We look forward to seeing your designs!

So there are lower bounds for size (7 kL, 33 t), but what are the upper bounds?  Because even for an S Core ship, those are definitely on the lower end of what the playerbase has built.  Since this seems to be for a Hybrid Challenge, a ship probably isn't very useful for it if it easily lifts the entire challenge cargo in one go.

If you know what VR challenge ships roughly look like, and their sizes. Building a ship in line with those can increase your chances of selection. But, we're also looking for standout designs. Ships that grab our attention and make us pause. We don't have an upper limit for submissions. That's a design choice that is up to you. Good luck!

can this be a ship we already have or does it need to be a new build just for this mission?

 

It doesn't need to be a new ship. :) If you already have one that fits within the requirements, you're welcome to submit it. :)
