Coops 17th Official Challenge ENDS 18:00 on the 31st of July
OK, the Seventeenth Coops Challenge is starting at Just @ 11:00 (Game Time) on Saturday (16th). For those who have not played before, this is where I have laid out a series of server wide challenges for players to complete. Each challenge has at least four stages and for EACH stage that's completed, I normally add 500 Fuel to an end total of Fuel you will get in the form of a Fuel Ticket.
This Challenge is a little different, the first Main Difference, for each stage completed the reward will be ONE THOUSAND Fuel into the reward kitty at the end!
If you were to complete ALL the challenges this time around, that would amount to a Ticket for 57,000 fuel! (for EVERY player that took part).
Yes, you read correctly, this time round there are FOUR Stages for each challenge.
That's 17 Different Challenges, making a total of SIXTY EIGHT! Stages!
Now don't panic. I've actually been even kinder this time round. I have analysed the way players have attacked and completed the last three challenges, and taken the stats from the last week's live play into account. Those large 3rd stage numbers previously only acted as a massive slap in the face when they were unfurled, so this time I've spread the challenge numbers over a four part spread and lowered the upper numbers as well. So stage three in every category is Definitely 'doable' stage four will def be a challenge but is very close to where you averaged out on the last three challenges!
Mech War Begins
I will also be letting the Mech Pirates lose in the Mech arena during the challenge. There are three Pirate Captains with several thousand Mechs waiting in the hanger bay for combat. These will be dropped 24 X 7 over the next 2 weeks. Killing these, works towards three of the Coops Challenge stages, not to mention some cool prizes along the way for certain kills (see the Competition Thread section of the forums).
You can review the Current Mech War OVER HERE
Special Mech Rewards
I will also seed 300 special named mechs with rewards attached. These are as an extra incentive for those taking part in the Mech War stages of the Challenge. Read about them OVER HERE
Coops Goodie Bag
Then there is the Coops Goodie Bag. Once the first stage is completed, I will 'Begin' The Goodie Bag post. This goodie bag grows and grows each day as the stages are completed. The day after the comp closes, I will award Everyone that took part whatever is in the Goodie bag!
Check out the GOODIE BAG Over here.
Challenge Reward Tokens
We also have the Reward Tokens to be collected and handed in. Another four-stage process for you to add towards. These are handed out by the Festive ticker, all you have to do is PLAY. The more you play, the more you stand a chance of collecting them.

Final Fuel Target
At the bottom of the Challenge Page, you will see a Fuel Goal Target. IF the server reaches or passes this goal, I will DOUBLE what ever fuel reward you earn from the Challenge stages! Yup DOUBLE it! So that a staggering 136,000 units of fuel up for grabs!!!
Have fun folks and keep an eye on the Chat for rewards and prizes being given away by myself and the staff and for special Mech kills!
