The Space Race!
#1
New secondary space challenge AND also a new space pvp daily/weekly.

Three new ships, same upgrades and drones.  The difference is that SPEED is king!  However, while you won't be fighting ships and instead racing them, you WILL be racing through deadly asteroid fields!  Who designed these race tracks?!

How it works:  All upgrades that affect damage and hull HP will instead affect only ship speed.  This includes:  Trophies, ascension, legendary, ship guild building.  You will receive 10000 Blue Ultinum and Grey Infinity Matter, which are functionally identical to their original counterparts but specifically and only used to upgrade these Speed-ships.  This means all players will be on a level-playing field upon release of this functionality, AND nobody can fast track these new resources to get a boost.  Essentially, this new mode is meant to be a completely free-to-play variant and rewards all players equally.

The UI itself would be similar, except instead of fighting ships you shoot asteroids and survive!  The level progression would be similar to the combat AI battles, except you'd be fighting against a fake-clock and hoping your ships don't explode.  Sometimes the key to beating a stage may be to let the Slow and Steady ship survive!  However, you always want to focus on speed -- the best way to avoid taking damage is to finish the race as soon as possible!

How it COULD work:  let's say you have a base speed of 50 on one of your ships.  After all the upgrades kick in, the final number ends up at 700.  On your current race stage, the track is 8500 <space units> long, and the timer is 15 turns.  So after 10 turns, the 700 speed ship would have traveled 7000 <space units> towards the 8500 to win the race, with 5 turns remaining until the timer runs out.  All looks good!  However, the ship has sustained 90% hull damage already!  It won't make it!

Your 2nd fastest ship is base 40 speed and a final result of 560 speed including all upgrades:  doing the math, you find that 15 turns at 560 is only 8400 <space units>, oh no you'll come up short!  A single speed upgrade should do the trick!

Anyway, that's just a rough draft idea for now.

The rewards are To Be Determined, the PVP likewise.
