I read Jive's suggestion for an Entrepreneur Challenge and I thought it was actually a great idea. The challenge is you have to raise 200 million credits by following these guidelines.

1. Trading ships only, this means no fighters or warships (including aradas and miranu gunships)
2. You have to use the trading mission strings and commoditiy exchange only (Escort missions allowed).
3. No cheat or cheat-like plug-ins.
4. You can pirate stolen cargo if you want.

Simple enough rules right? Good luck and have fun.

Good idea WarBeast.

Seriously though, it might be an actual challenge. That and I could use the sleep...

200 million?!?! I don't think I've ever raised even one tenth that much in cash, even playing the entire game with its occasional rewards of "enough credits to buy a small moon." That is a lot of money...

Hmm. He said only trading ships, if you feel you can get tribute using a UE transporter, I'm sure it counts. BTW, the challenge would be better if you said the ship had to be a human trading ship, w/ no military escorts. now, that would be hard....

There are some planets that are insanely easy to take over, even in a Transporter. And from there, you could just take off and land until you make 200 million credits.... that wouldn't be much of a challenge.

Ok...I'll pop up with a couple more "guidlines" I suppose. LoL.

5. No dominating planets...except Council Station . If you can get it in a trading ship, go ahead.
6. No military escorts.

You can be any trading ship you want, Human or otherwise. They all have their pros and cons.
