"To all Octan Corporation Employees. Our long range sensors have detected a large number of unknown vessels heading toward Farmolis. We must be ready to great them when they'll reach our borders, and to this end it was decided that all our engineers and all capable members of Octan need to start building a fleet."

The judges were drunk this morning. They awarded you 6 points for this build.

Challenge 2: Unknown menace Due to the recently discovered activity in the center of the galaxy, all corporations' governants asked their employees to start building a defense fleet. This fleet may contain any spaceship from small fighter jets to large battle cruisers. Rules for all categories: All rules in the General Rules thread apply unless otherwise. Players will earn credits according to their score. Entries won't reward resources or domination points. Your sigfig must be present in the build. The number of minifigs is unlimited, as long as they fit in the vessel(s). Entries must be at minifig scale. There is no size restriction. Note that challenge C has a minimum size restriction. Because the theme is about the vessel no bonuses will be awarded for job related builds. The challenge will run from July 12nd to August 30th. As long as it is still August 30th somewhere in the world, you can still enter. Note that there are different runtimes per category. Entries posted after the deadline will be disqualified from the challenge and will not be scored. Entries will be judged according to the General Rules. This challenge is open to all players of Andromeda's Gates, even if they joined EB or signed up for the game after the challenge has begun; the Andromeda's Gates staff, EB admins and moderators are not eligible to win prizes but may earn credits. All entries must be new creations, not posted anywhere else prior to being entered in the challenge. You may be asked by a staff member to change your entry if it is too similar to an earlier creation. All entries must be built from real LEGO or with Lego Digital Designer. No clone brands, no third-party custom parts. All entries must be posted as a new topic in the Andromeda's Gates subforum, the title prefixed by, "[Challenge 2][Cat X]". (For example, "[Challenge 2][Cat A] Vessel name".) Post pictures no larger than 1000x720, as specified in the EB Member Guidelines. You may do a 'full-blown photo edit' with all the text, effects, background compositing, support erasing, and other effects onone picture. All your other pictures may have no editing other than color adjustment or background removal for a solid-color background. For obvious reasons, any photo editing that changes the shape, functionality, or color (not tint or adjustment, but actual color) of a LEGO piece is prohibited. All entries are considered WIPs (Works In Progress) until the deadline passes. Until the deadline has passed, you are allowed to change and improve your MOC. Alien builds: Aliens are allowed to compete in all three categories. Winning a category with an alien build will only award credits. Domination: Because this challenge is not related to a particular planet, no domination points will be awarded for each entry. Instead at the end of all three challenges the CEO of each corporation may point out a connected planet where the fleet is travelling to. The corporation receives 1 domination point for every build for the chosen planet. The alien build with the highest score may also choose a planet and subtract a domination point for every alien build made from the chosen planet. If multiple corporations are present, both loose the number of domination points to a minimum of 0. Determining winning corporation For each category, the corporation score is calculated by adding 0.2 point for each participant to the average of all the participant's scores. The winning corporation for category is the one with the highest score. Overall winner The corporation which scored most points, all categories scores added together, wins the challenge and will receive an additional: 50 gold, 50 copper and 50 mithril.
