Notes:

-C-mode starts on March 11.
-There will be a shared ship for Challenge Quests where denizens of every ship can join. (For those of you on ship 2 who are worried you'll get lumped with other undesirables on ship 2)
-There's only one class in C-mode: "Challenger". This class can use everything - from weapons, to PAs to techs. No limits!
-The time you spend on a C-mode run is dictated by VR-Energy. Your run ends if you run out of VR Energy before you reach the goal. VR energy repleneshes a bit as you pick up Green VR Crystals on the field, or as you reach rest points. (a rest point will not completely reload your VR-Energy)
-As covered in this thread, C-mode will allow you trade in Challenge Miles for various rewards, including the 13* Ideal series weapons. and direct EXP tickets.
-You earn miles just running the quest (how far you go determines what you get) and picking up mile crystals (red diamond shaped items). Question to ask is, with some crystals that are out of the way, are you willing to sacrifice the VR energy needed to make the detour to get those crystals?
-In between missions you'll reach rest points where VR energy doesn't deplete. Here you can trade the items you have for better items at a recycle shop. Keep in mind you are also able to swap items with others in the MPA. Do you hoard the items and make yourself the playmaker? Or will you share and ensure that everyone is up to speed?

-XH variants for TD Despair and Territory Doused in Black (also on 3/11).

-Mini PSPo2i "Nagisa" collab starts on 3/18
-Nagisa herself will be in the Arks lobby dispensing quests and rewards, and you can find her in the fields for random E-Trials.
-Complete all of her tasks and you can snag yourself Nagisa's partner card. Her lines on her card will change as your Affinity stat goes up. (raise by clearing missions with S-Rank while she is in your party)

After XH pitch black territory, are there any remaining legacy EQs that still need an XH update?

Think those are the last 2, mhm.

Thanks for the heads up. Completely fixed - I tried a different naming scheme for this batch of scans, and I completely forgot about it so quickly...

This reeks of mobile gaming limitations. Was PSO2es not enough?

[Gardios]

It appears to serve as a simple time limit within the quest, nothing else.

Seems more like just a time limit for the quest itself, though picking up items and having to reach rest areas on time can extend that time limit.
I doubt we won't be able to restart the quest from the beginning once the time limit ends.

[Rakurai]

Wonder if there's any kind of restriction on how often challenge mode quests can be attempted.

On a side note, the cross server blocks ought to make it a lot easier for me to find an English speaking party.
