Pilot, you have mastered the art of flying the worst ships imaginable, the bottom of the scrap heap. You are brought here to compete against mankind's deadliest foe in a winner-takes-bragging-rights fight-to-your-death tournament. You will engage in a rigorous test of your piloting and combat skills, in the farthest and darkest corners of the Sirius sector...Your challenge is to defeat as many waves of Nomads as you can, without landing or repairing, in the lowest level ship possible. Here are the rules and instructions for the championship:

-Loadout requirements are as follows:
Starflier
3x Justice Mk.I
1x Basic Thruster
1x Drone Mine launcher
1x Basic Countermeasures
1x Level 1 Light Fighter shield
Full shield batts
Full nano bots

- The system for the competition will be the Unknown System from the Omicron Gamma Unknown jump hole.

- You will proceed to one of the easter-egg planets to repair any damage to your ship. Save the game and launch.

---- Upon launch from the easter-egg planet(Primus or Gammu), you will note the game timer and record the time. This is the start of your first round.

- You are not permitted to use cruise engines at any point during a round. If you do so, the time you entered cruise will count as the end of that round. This is to prevent people from using cruise engines to increase their survival time.

- You may not retreat for any reason. Retreating from a battle will be counted as the end of the round.

- Take a screenshot right after launch, and right before death.

- You will engage all enemies encountered. Record any components lost and when you lost them. When you die, that is the end of your round. You will record the time of death and number of Nomads killed.

- You will have three rounds to improve your total. After each round, load your save and begin the next. At the end of the third round you will record the results of all three battles and report them here.

---- Your score will be based on the best of your three rounds. The scoring system is as follows:
Number of total kills(10 points per kill)
Time from launch to death(when faced with equal scores, lowest time wins)

I wanted to factor in things like components lost and # of enemies fought at a time, but there is really no way of making sure people are being honest about that stuff.

If you report a suspicious score, you will be asked for screenshots to prove your legitimacy. If the screenshots are discovered to have been altered in any way, or you fail to provide them, you will be disqualified.

It is highly recommended that you DL the No story mod or something similar before attempting this, since you're better off doing it in SP.

------------You must have completed this challenge by Monday, October 13, at 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. At that time, no more submissions will be taken and I will score the results.

Please refrain from spamming in here, since it will royally piss off anyone actually trying to participate.

Get it? Got it? Good!

On your marks, get set, GO!

"Although I do not consider myself a member of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, I find that their goals and mine often follow the same path. I will aid them when I can...if they give me a percentage of the salvage from whatever they frag along the way. Hell, they were even so kind as to sell me a ship after one of my jobs with them, and I've been flying her ever since. But god help them if someone puts a bounty on THEIR heads, for I don't care who I hunt for, as long as their live capture(or untimely death) can get me enough credits to buy a decent sized mug of my favorite drink."- A Freelance Bounty Hunter.
