Hello, Pilots!

I'd like to welcome @smokrthou to EXODE, I hope you enjoy your time with us.

@proto26 has officially started his new (soon to be ๐Ÿ‰ [MELN] branded) weekly EXODE series, which you can find here!

๐Ÿ“ฐNews:

exode_debriefing2.png

  1. A second new artist began working on EXODE, and @elindos shared a preview of a planet landscape created by the new artist which you can see above. I am excited for this! Once again reminds me of Master of Orion 2.
  2. The Debriefing Room has been released, and you can now view the results of your wildlife investigations. Something I didn't expect (but makes sense now that I think about it) is that you can also investigate wildlife you identified as dangerous, not only the "relevant wildlife". Since I brought a mining build, I did not investigate any wildlife yet, but I will investigate some before next week's post so I can share the results with you.
  3. For those that care, "Missions reports will be available to third party programmers", which @elindos elaborates on with "...technically any third party would be able to animate a report..." I think this would be very cool, and I could definitely see a talented programmer like @tyrnis taking advantage of this.
  4. The servers had some maintenance done on February 6th which will hopefully remove some bugs that players were experiencing.

๐ŸŽGiveaway:

This week, you have a chance of winning:

1x Beauty Capsule (which does not yet have a wiki link since it is so new)

I personally love this card. I feel like this will have a good place in an "end-game" or "long-term" style of build, as you've essentially got unlimited living space for 1 or 2 people depending on upgrades. If you could bring a build with just these on a small crew ship, you would be able to save so much energy that you would otherwise have to spend on living space. With that extra energy saved, you can put it towards food production, exploration, or any other thing you're interested in doing. This is definitely one of my favorite additions to this game and am very glad that @elindos decided to add cards to the Alpha Contracts. We do not yet know how Atmospheric Shielding or Happiness will effect gameplay, but I'm sure they will come in useful as well.

This card is worth $30.00 at time of writing.

๐ŸŽ‰Previous Winner:

I'd like to thank @jacobpeacock and his alt (I think) @digital.bank for subsidizing last week's giveaway by surprise. Very nice of you!

There are only like 35(?) of those Beauty Capsule NFTs that have been minted so far so that is quite the prize!

Compared to other limited cards thirty USD is low so I may have to swoop that one off the Starbase Market if it is still there and I have the spare liquid HIVE for it!

Yes @digital.bank is an alt that I own. It is primarily for managing eXode cards and packs so I do not have to wade through the transaction history on my main account.

Anyway, glad to see another awesome post by you about eXode and thanks for the mention.

I just sent you another NFT tip. This time it is a Baldie Shuttle. ๐Ÿค 

You can view the transaction for it here:

Cheers and Hive on!

Edit: Ah some more got minted since last I looked. There are now 54 of the Beauty Capsule NFTs that have been minted. Still a very rare card just not as rare as it was the last time that I looked!

It is a contract card, so more will be created, but not many exist right now since it is so new.

If you want to!

Ah, alrighty.

Of course! I try to shout out anyone who contributes in any way to my posts.

Thank you for the Baldie Shuttle.

!PIZZA

Yeah, I saw it there on the Starbase Market. I am still internally debating it because as you said it is a Contract card and more will be minted eventually... but that said I would not mind having a few more so that I can Upgrade the one that I already have.

P.S. You are quite welcome for the Baldie Shuttle!

I'd love to win one.

I feel the community contests can be like a QnA between new and experienced players of exode where new players ask questions and the experienced players win points for answering it correctly

The new players can win for most questions asked

Just my suggestion.

That could be cool. Seems like it would be easy to do in the Discord.

!PIZZA

That capsule looks confortable.

Mmmm maybe fan arts contest

!PIZZA

I like this idea a lot, however it would limit the competitors to only artists, and the prize would have to be worth the effort.

!PIZZA

You know those IQ puzzles? where you have to fill in the number sequence or pick the meaning of an obscure word. Those are fun and easy to respond to. I guess as already suggested, these questions could also include Exode Facts and Trivia. As a new player, it would be cool to hear about how things came to be.

An EXODE trivia contest sounds like it could be fun. We would have to think of some not easy-to-find answers, though. I don't know how we would stop people from just looking up the answer as well.

!PIZZA

Upvoted and reblogged! Perhaps a few more winners of common cards for your community contests instead of 1 big card?

If more people would rather have multiple winners of smaller cards than one winner of one powerful card, I would be willing to do that some times, even on the normal Giveaways.

!PIZZA

That's a very hard question ! i'm don't know a lot of type of community contest
I think i would love to see a small text (like a fan fiction) about the feeling of a character during an evacuation or about some event we can imagine during a colonisation

I like this one! It would be something like "write a story about your favorite EXODE evacuation, or make it up!"

!PIZZA

Thank you so much, including your sponsors!!
I would love to see either an art contest or a third-party tool contest! That would a) be awesome and b) provide real use to the game (experience)!

I have never heard of a third-party tool contest, however that could be useful to the game. The thing is, it would limit the amount of participants to insanely skilled people like @tyrnis and not much else, and the idea of the community contest is that we can have the whole community participate if they want to.

!PIZZA

fair enough and probably more beneficial to us all, but still I cannot wait for more improvements/content/user interface :D ;)

upvoted and reblooged.
Not sure what I would like to see as a contest for EXODE. We are still very early in game development. Blogs I would like to read are about "What are the contract cards" Tom's, etc.
How do they work and a history of price on them.
!PIZZA

I could probably make that post. I think I have given away almost all of the contract cards by now so I know most of them by heart.

As for a price history though, I'm unsure I could provide that. I could talk about what I've personally seen but I haven't been a part of EXODE since the very beginning.

Thank you for the great suggestion, have a !PIZZA

I had joined several months ago and have been running daily actions. I am not familiar with the alpha contract that you mention. Could you share what that is? Also, it would be nice to win the card so please include me in your drawing. Thanks.

@darmst5339 To be entered into the drawing, you have to reblog the post. Make sure you did that and you'll be entered.

There are 3 Alpha Contracts, those being Tom Settler, Syndicate, and Rekatron. They mint you cards from a set of contract-only cards each week.

Since you and @ijat had the same suggestion, I think I'll get to work writing a post about the contracts and mention you in the post.

Have a !PIZZA

Thanks for the additional information. Yes, I would be very interested in the contracts and how to buy or acquire one of them. I also re-blogged the post.

I have been working on it for the past hour! I didn't understand just how many cards there were, and I'm trying to write good descriptions for all of them as well. I'm taking a break but hopefully the post will be up today or tomorrow. Mentioned you in it.

Have another !PIZZA

Thank you and much appreciate the !PIZZA as well. I look forward to reading it but don't rush on my account.

The post has been written! Took 2.5 hours of work (on my end), it is 4,134 words and 29,626 characters long, lol. Probably the best thing I have created so far.

Will post it in when @proto26 creates the thumbnail! (Thank you proto.)

!PIZZA

id love to win that one! reminds me of the dragon balls' saiyans' emergency ship when goku arrived on earth haha.
hope @birdbeaksd make a live stream where we just hang around, talk about eXode, lores and contests thatll surely make the audience go pumped. hope it happens sooner than i am expecting. love you guys!

I never watched Dragon Ball, but nice.

I don't know much about livestreaming, but if other ๐Ÿ‰ members were interested in this maybe we could try one out.

I like the idea of either ask or answer questions, that seems more engaging than many give away themes and we may all learn something in the process.

Thank you for your witness vote!
Have a !BEER on me!

Hey @bfciv, here is a little bit of BEER from @isnochys for you. Enjoy it!

Did you know that you can use BEER at dCity game to **buy dCity NFT cards** to rule the world.

I just bought my first starter packs on Exode today!

Excited to learn more about the game!

I'm just planning to get the starter packs, but if I would win this awesome card it would help me so much in the beginning!
