Awesome - there are lots of people joining this challenge! Should be interesting seeing the progress through the week.

Godfrey Longblade has joined, a Cadar Pirate, of course. Already rank 8 in the military. Okay, okay, he's getting distracted ... back to looting!

Great to see everyone joining! If you're still considering joining, don't worry about joining late, you're more than welcome too. Turns are capped at 10,000 and a lot of us are still struggling to get started, so you won't be too far behind.

I've had some trouble getting off the ground, that's for sure. This next captain is getting close to the "must enter" level though, so I might be posting my final score any minute now! haha.

Welcome triedge!

I'll probably be joining you xdesperado. My captain is closing in on level 15 as we speak and I'm not exactly loved by the quadrant. I'm level 16 in Clan Javat but negative triple digits with everyone else except Thulun. Basically looting everything I run into

Living dangerously!

Dread Pirate Roberts is past the restart phase. He's at level 17, turn 3026 with 143 ships looted and 500k or so in credits. He had over a million credits but he finally found a Pirate Doomcruiser at Thulun Prime with all 45 upgrades available. He also just picked up a body guard officer. Should be good for patrolling and boarding.

ARRRGGGH! Dread Pirate Roberts is now "Dead" Pirate Roberts

He had an unfortunate encounter with a Narvidian Predator who I believe had a terror type captain, because I could never injure him, despite the fact that I was otherwise a ferocious boarder. The Predator was a full 311% my level.

My final score is 237 or 238 if rounded up.

This should take a little pressure off everyone else.

A Narvidian on crazy!? The damn things seem to be hiding from me.
You definantly defeated my score.

So we're about at the half-way point of the challenge and it looks like a lot has happened. Here's a little round up of where we're at.

Again thanks everyone for playing I've been having a good time and would continue were it not for a fracking Narvidian Predator (I'm going to have to kill a lot of aliens before I feel better about that), but I'm still looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

Eliminated Captains:
Nigel Stormraven IV (xdesperado), Titan Class, Score 111
Roberts (Lurker), Titan Class, Score 237
Captain NoLegs (Ncaoa), Titan Class, Score 156

Continuing Captains:
Captain Three-eyed Metalbeard (athios), Titan Class, Score
Bluebeard (slayernz), Curator Class, Score
Bananapants (slayernz), Titan Class, Score
Blastbeard (BlastGT1), Curator Class, Score
John McClane (johndramey), Titan Class, Score 210 (but restarting)
Godfrey Longblade (fallen), Class, Score
Flying V (triedge), Class, Score 67 at last posting

Let me know if I'm missing anything or fill in any of the ???s above.

[athios]

Current count is 217 looted, 1769000 credits, one defeated Space Hive.
So that's 217 + 176 + 50 = 443.

The downside is I only have 3500 turns left. So for everyone still in race, make sure you survive those battles!
