Ring Race

[Ouzaru]

One of my fav bits of the SP FL was a space race, (i keep going back from time to time) though can't at the min remember what mission it was.
Don't know if anyone else liked it or not.

We have the bounty hunts running and the weekly war..... how about a race as well.
Havent fully thought bout how this could be moderated or run properly, but I had the idea ringworld/freeport 1 race seems like a neat idea.

Could hold races round outside edge of ring, kills allowed, no fly zone inside ring. Do a couple of laps or so. Could say prize is winner gets free pass into weekly war for no fee, or something like that.

Not sure if this would work or not but I think this would've been a good addon to the mod.

Guess Im feeling that killing is getting too easy and need a piloting challenge as well.

Anyone have any comments or thoughts about it?

i think its a good idea, teh only wa i can think of to moderate it is if an admin formed up with each of teh pilots to keep an eye on em, it could definatly work if we got enough admins to show up or perhaps apoint Race admins, the race course in which u race hovis might be there coz i think all the stuff has been unlocked in TNG.

but yeh, im up for it

Might be worth looking into if anyone else is interested.

Ive seen the idea on other servers, and have been thinking about doing something like this.

The best way ive seen isnt to stay in 1 system, its to set a start and stop at two totally different locations, and to create new charecters also, we will have a lil think :P

As you say Trick, now that you mention it I do remember something like this I've seen on another server. What they called 'blockade runner' where you had to get from one random start point to another in a diff system, no holds barred against other plyrs.

Think the way they did it was to have all meet at one start point, then randomly select finish. Have an admin roam round the finish system. When plyrs reached the finish system the admin would tell what sector, first plyr to locate the admin and meet up and group with them would win.

Guess could setup something like buy-in/winner takes all like the weekly war currently is.

Like to hear other thoughts...
