Special threads are divided into four types and are different from general social threads. Each one is a tad different than the last, but none of them offer significant benefits over the others. They will be listed as follows and what benefits they do happen to offer. They are as follows: Combat, Exploration, Research, and Events.
Combat: Combat threads involve two or more players fighting one another. However these fights can also be a player versus moderator fight generated. Either way, then the fight is over all player participants get a point total towards a new part or weapon. These can later be turned in to design a new part or let a moderator randomly generate you one. The transaction rates will be in the shop. All points are expected to be noted in the player's Hanger tracker.
Exploration: Exploration threads are ones where players can enter a moderator guided instance where they explore space or a planet. These threads have a chance of rewarding the players points to new parts or even completed parts designed by the moderator working the exploration. You can only do two of these a week. Resetting at 12am CST every Monday.
Research: Research threads are similar to Exploration threads, but rather take place in the research labs of a planet. These threads are also mod run, but are much less exciting. These allow for players to guide the scientific development of the site as well as gain part points or parts out of the process. You can only do two of these a week. Resetting at 12am CST every Monday.
Events: These can vary wildly and are always mod run. They can be for site plot or simply for a holiday. Keep your eyes out for them because they can have great rewards.
