Idea for a shoot & race scenery-driven perpetual contract

"Be as wild as you want" - Arron (8th of December, -22:24 stream)

Ehrm.. I would opt for a twin contract. Redneck style? Shooting gallery quest + hauling mission to re-supply repair system (once welders gets added) O.O Maybe some variations like a race course whilst hauling could be fun too.. like.. being on a time limit. Imagine the racing scene from Tatooine in Star Wars.. but with a bit of mad max vibes.

The reward could be some sort of entrance to a fancy bar that only winners can enter.. and having like your characters face on the wall in a frame next to other winners.. Maybe a Deer Keen joke could be added in too.. :thinking: (engineer with deer head) on one of the photographs, maybe hidden in the basement or something I do not know.. some easter egg I guess.. x.x

Inside the bar, you would meet some fancy NPCs, of one a weird mad scientist called Okan (a reference to "Brackish Okun" from Independence Day, great character, He would give you like a crazy contract to bring ammo with a UFO based ship, through a fancy racing course. And as a reward it would unlock a UI scientific calculator that players can use ingame to calculate ship statistics. Maybe having a way to copy grid specs of a targeted grid with some small helper buttons to use those values of the ship, and maybe also buttons for G, heat, pressure, acceleration, rotation, etc. to be used directly in the calculations.

Maybe also having like contracts to deliver ammo to all Mareks & Devs visited places that where added across all the planets. So you basically re-live each scenery and get to shoot at each location! And race inbetween.. to deliver supplies.. imagine.. perpetual doable contracts.. so when ever you need that time off traveling and shooting, its available to see and enjoy all the beautiful locations on various planets. And when the olympics come out, we add in a Keen Torch.. O.O

Imagine.. shooting on iconic locations, in the clouds, under water, in glaciers, taiga, and caves and where ever else the environment brings the engineer. Getting like this crazy sweet mission chain that races through some of the creative moments throughout early access and development.. And these shooting ranges could be added as time goes.. Getting like these weird intrinsic funny messages from dr. Okan to check out that new one thing he found..

An utterly wild idea that all began in a fancy bar with good old Okan and a weird Deer Engineer painting in a bacement with like the most secret UFO cover-up stories one can dream off.. of course having some form of calculator would just be nice.. having a perpetual contracts to race and shoot is also super handy for those enjoying shooting with guns or ships. Seeing nice important locations is glorious.. Calculator would blend in well with other UI features too. If an ingame calculator where to come, I would also argue being able to set a small to-do list on the side of the screen. Could be handy.. but thats well.. an idea.. O.O

I would also argue when weapons come out, having a shooting range to teach players about weapons is a very superb idea that could blend in with such a system. Like having a dedicated weapon tutorial prior to the first quest that would trigger such a chain.. o.o

No idea if my idea is wild enough.. I hope it is.. Have fun! <3
