ENDLESS™ Space 2 is turn-based 4X space-strategy that launches players into the space colonization age of different civilizations within the ENDLESS™ Universe. Your Vision. Their Future.
Since the Mysterious Plague Ship was a hit on the last contest (but sadly lost), I've decided to expand on that idea for the Quest Creation Contest. Hopefully this is well-received too!
Please note: Devs can change any effects/rewards/outcomes they need to and if requested, I can change any of the flavor text.
Your scientists have detected a heavily-damaged ship of unknown design entering your home system. The ship is unresponsive to hails, however sensors have detected that it will self-destruct soon! Scanning the ship, you discover that not only are there inhabitants in stasis who have been infected by a deadly plague, but also a dense computer core containing untold secrets. There is only time to save one of them before the ship explodes!
After analyzing the core, you not only learn that the inhabitants' homeworld was attacked by a malevolent race of aliens who conquer planets and quickly strip them of their resources before moving on, but are able to predict their next target as well. The aliens move fast, though, and won't stay at their last victory for long. If you hurry, you can intercept them before they leave... or you can head to their next destination and lay a trap for them.
Objective 1: Head to [Planet X] and wait in ambush
Task: Go to [Planet X] in (X) turns and wait in ambush for (Y) turns.
Clarification: You have to take your fleet to [Planet X] within (X) amount of turns. Once you have arrived, you have to leave your fleet there for (Y) turns [where (Y) is a random amount] until the enemy fleet arrives. This is to add a little “twist” to the quest. The player may forget, or grow impatient leaving his fleet around this planet – and may move them before the alien fleet arrives, failing the quest)
Outcome: + 1 Ship Module (defense or vision related), +10% attack on fleet
Objective 2: Head to [Planet Y]
Task: Head to [Planet Y] within (X) turns to confront the aliens
Outcome: + military ideology, +1 Ship Module (offense)
Part B:
After rescuing the inhabitants, you learn that their homeworld was attacked by a malevolent race of aliens who conquer planets and quickly strip them of their resources. They were trying to reach [Planet Z] which is rumored to contain a resource to cure their plague as well as provide a new home when their ship was attacked. Although they desperately want to save their own race, they are concerned that if you don't deal with the aliens quickly they will move on to destroy other planets
Objective 1: Head to [Planet Z]
Task: Go to [Planet Z] to help the refugees
Outcome: +1 ship module (travel or vision)
Objective 2: Head to [Planet Y]
Task: Head to [Planet Y] within (X) turns to confront the aliens
Outcome: + military ideology, +1 Ship Module (offense)
I was actually looking for your entry when the new website came up! Think of it this way though - if you skip this contest, it will reset the "3's" rule!
Modifications to this quest would include outcomes (you have several effects instead of rewards, for instance), and an inclusion of some variation in objectives (most of what you're asking players to do is bring a fleet somewhere and wait).
