End of Month Challenge Wrap up
(original challenge description below)
It has been a fun month of exploring a very large map in our Community Challenge. We've enjoyed seeing all the different ways folks have approach the big map, the challenges it posed (some of those starts were brutal at the far end of the galaxy with only one jump available to you!), and how you overcame those challenges.
We wanted to highlight a few of the Captains who tackled the challenge.
Migal, over on our Discord, built out quite the smuggling ring, including crowning a smuggler and making big bank through that relationship!
Once again, Matt, gave us detailed write ups and screenshots of their adventures, completing a nearly completely pacifist run!
We often talk about the Community Challenges as a way to spice up play for our veterans, but they are, of course, open to anyone. So we were very excited to see new players tackling the Big Map challenge.
Not Athryan joined in with a Path of the Sword captain, giving that challenge ago as a newer player to the game!
Thank you to all of you who participated in the challenge! We will be back in the New Year with a different style of community event for STF. No Spoilers, but we are very excited about it!

Hello, Captains. It’s time for another STF challenge. This is the Really BIG map challenge! Back in August, we asked how will you play on the smallest of maps with the least sectors? This time around we are offering up a 70 quadrant, standard density map for you to tackle. Some of the quadrants require many, many jumps to reach.
Just like the August challenge, this challenge only has one "rule:" that you play on the specific map seed for this challenge. Otherwise, you can play whatever professions, ships, rules, and styles you would like. Our Discord community suggested that this challenge could be good giving some of the newer fast ships a go!
The map seed for this challenge is: st-v02-70-6-94116976
Some ideas for what we’d love to see:
- Screenshots of your ship, your crew
- Descriptions of your strategies approaching a huge map with significant distance between some quadrants and how they are different from your 'normal' strategies
- Tell us about the challenges your faced
- Any other creative ways you want to share to tell us about your adventures: memes, interpretive dance, gifs, etc
No matter what you choose to share, please include one screenshot of your journey!
We’ve opened up a discussion here on Steam in the General Discussion forum for aIl of your posts. If you post on the discord, post in the #big_map_challenge channel found in the STF category.
Good luck and have fun, Captains!
