Don’t worry, we’ve spared no expense arming you

We’re back with bounty hunting season 6.  We’re revamping the system.  Targets will be designated every Friday at 11:59 PM EST and will end Sunday at 11:59 PM EST.  This will happen for three weeks to find the season’s most dangerous bounty and top bounty hunter.

Whenever you find someone with -B- or -Bounty- before their name take a screenshot of you defeating them and send it to bounty@musegames.com.  You can claim every bounty once a weekend for ten points each.

The player with the most points will crowned the top bounty hunter and gets a War Room pilot costume, gender their choice.  The player who wins the most matches during their weekend will be the most dangerous bounty and gets the Tinkerer or Aurora engineer’s costume.

To find your targets for the weekend, check the bounty board.

Prove your skill in The Cogs!

Who will earn the top cog?

We’re calling all experienced crews who want to prove they’re the greatest to join our weekly scrimmage: The Cogs.   We want to see the best of the best throw it all on the line in a single match on a map randomly drawn by a referee.

We’ll separate teams into three cogs: champion, challenger, and upcomer.  Every Saturday at 4 pm the designated teams will fight trying to defend their position or move up in the world. Any team that doesn’t show up for their game will automatically forfeit their position. Teams not fighting will be designated bounties for the week for any hunters who can find them.  The size of the cogs will be adjusted depending on how many sign ups we receive.

The sign up for teams is here. Feel free to bring in ringers or random people online onto your ship the day of.  As long as you have someone to press ready for your team when you’re designated to fight you don’t have a problem.
