Vanguard Galaxy is a chill and relaxing game. Not everyone's cup of tea, this chill and relaxing pace. Some players might like a bit more spice to the gameplay!

Here are a few self-imposed challenge runs to keep you occupied if you're having it too easy.

Challenges

"Fun!" Challenges to try at home.
Name	Rules	Notes	Favorite pastime of
Pushing The Envelope	At level 60, defeat a 102+ bounty/patrol for a lvl 75 legendary item.	This will require learning about combat mechanics, how to min-max the ship builds, the differences between armor and shield-tanking, and the proper use of Firestarter vs. CC builds.	HalyconShade
Ripping Up The Envelope	At level 60, defeat a 122+ bounty/patrol for shops to stock lvl 79 items.	This will require an absurd amount of patience. You will need to learn the extreme end of min/maxing in the current game, as well as how to spend coin shopping accurately to upgrade your gear to have a hope of completing this. 1,000 hrs+ warning!	HalyconShade
Return To Sender	At level 60 or higher, defeat a bounty/patrol that at least is 3x your level.	This has not yet been done - be the first to claim your mark and let us know if you manage it; we will update the info here!	HalyconShade (tryhard)
All is Purple	Set everyone at war, paint Ara Martis in purple.	No docking at conquest stations, no farming Fleet Strength, this will take time.	Aurelia
Trucker: Dangerous	Only ever use transporters.	Oxlo, Vectura, Bremya, Trundar, Paktar, you will learn the true value of cargo space. Hull bonuses are for wussies.	Zemurin
Small Only	Never buy a size-3+ ship.	Very straightforward and enjoyable, flying small nimble ships and mowing down destroyers.	Zemurin
ECHO is stuck!	You can never buy another ship.	ECHO cannot be moved from your starting ship! Preferably a Raptor start, use creativity and imagination how to deal with Industrial Ops, base assaults and gear swapping. Get to end of Conquest and see how far you can push a Raptor (or a Chisel?).	Zemurin
Hardcore	No emergency jumps.	If you are defeated in combat, you are destroyed and have to start over a fresh run. Note: Devs did say hardcore options will be something to consider once the game is completed, so this type of gameplay is a stopgap measure until then, and an exercise in caution.	Velticus
