Attention pilots! We are announcing the launch of the seasonal marathon “Quarter for thirty.” This marathon is designed to balance activity in PvP and PvE modes.

As part of the marathon, we are testing a new mechanic for assigning missions to players. Previously, all marathon members were given the same missions, but now the mechanic is as follows:

Missions for all players:

• Missions 1, 2, 3 and 16, 17, 18 are assigned to all players at once.

• These missions have small riddles related to the Open Space.

Two blocks of PvP and PvE missions, assigned randomly:

Each block consists of 12 missions, but players will receive them in random order from the pool.

• Block 1: missions 4 through 15

• Block 2: missions 19 through 30

[i]In each block, the player randomly receives one of 4 types of assignments; they differ for each player.[/i]

A total of 30 daily missions are available, of which a minimum of 25 must be completed to receive the final reward chest.

[b]As a reward for completing the marathon stages, pilots can receive:[/b]

• Unique premium ship

• 1000 Galactic Standards
