Space Racing?

netburnr

I don't know, I always had the most fun "racing" around with people, whether it was in loaded Matt tows, or in rangers, or just racing to the fight....

I think it would be really cool if there was some sort of in game racing, perhaps even ships made just for that. Do you agree?

You know what, you may be onto something....this could be a great PvP mission....you could shoot at each other on your way, and whoever delivers the package first gets the reward......I would love that.

Jump

Who ever escorts their tow safely to the finish line wins. Oh wait, that would take forever wouldn't it?

Maybe some complex pylon enhanced sim for events.

I had suggest a race sim as well awhile ago, but I was thinking more of a real space point a to point b.

If the sectors are set up right it might even make a difference in which path you take...

The problem with races is lag related, last time we did a race in Oct space it was a pain to have the worst ping of all competitors, all I could see is dots far and far away and it literally became a race for not be the last one.

Find a workaround, like staying in same sector, and then the ground is more even, still there's an advantage to those with big pipes but guess we can't achieve perfection

I've been in a few player run events and they were great fun.

But one essential point is the race course MUST pass through unreg at some point. Then we can all RP being Dastardly and Mutley.

I think racing should stay limited to official and unofficial events. Many of the player-sponsored races like Race of the Pilgrims were incredibly creative and fun.

I dunno bout racing, but I wanna try making my Formation Flying Team work again.

Wouldn't that be all events?

Ambrosius

My point, Jump, was "special events" rather than something coded in.

project3wc

its something we can just organize on our own

. first one to make it from sector A to sector Z wins X amounts of credit, you have to pay X much to get in ..etc..something like that.
