What happened in the last two thirds of the race, Screwball that's where y're lacking.

I'm posting the event writeup in segments this week. It's an experimental new format. Part II has just been added.

Yet another observation: This is the 4th time a hornet has participated in the D-Run, and the 1st time it hasn't placed in the top 3 when it did. (prolly because bloodthirst had an energy-weapon loadout)

Part III posted.

Ok, at long last, the Deneb Run #15 write-up is complete. Enjoy.

Good point about the Hornets, vIsitor. Assuming no weapons are equipped, an Orion Hornet is just slightly faster than a Warthog MkII.

Thank you Screw, I did my research.

Interesting way of writing it up. I actually remember the race now, even five days later. Can't wait until Saturday ^^

[whine]Can't we have a race w/ no damn valks[/whine]

That'd be interesting. I'd like that too. I won't do it unless no one uses a valk cuz honestly a hog or convoy guardian has a lot less of a chance of winning then a valk.

I've beaten Valks in Convoy Guardians, but not by much...

The Valk has a VERY high thrust-to-weight ratio, so it's like the ferrari of V-O. Plus It's got the fastest top speed (240 m/s), and only 55 drain. The IDF Valk is the best ship to race in. If you want it, just get your itani standing and your combat licenses up. No big deal.

If you want infiniboost, then I suggest the Orion Convoy Guardian. Only 220 m/s top speed but you can just point and GO w/o worrying about losing those precious seconds waiting at the WH, waiting for your batt to recharge. However its thrust-to-weight ratio SUX.

Hey Screwball, want to do a "NO Valk" Racing week for the Deneb Run and the Corporate Sectors Run?
Oct 15, 2005 LeberMac link
Or, make every contestant race in a govbus or something. THAT would be funny.

Is there a Deneb run #16?
Oct 15, 2005 Screwball link
Sorry, I have family obligations this weekend, so no Deneb Run tonight. I expect I can host the Deneb Run #16 next weekend, but there is one possible wrinkle then too. I'll make an announcement mid-week.

I like the no-valks idea for a race. EC-88 is too vulnerable to strike forces, though.

We ran it without ya, Screwball... Martin will send you his logs for the writeup...
Oct 16, 2005 Martin link
Yeah please tell me your email address. I'll send you the log. You do a much better job of writing it up than I ever did. :D
Oct 16, 2005 Screwball link
Thanks for hosting it this week, Martin. I should be on tonight around 1 AM GMT, so if you're on then, I'll msg you with my email address.

I won't be able to do the writeup until at least tomorrow, though.

Screwball if I'm not on just give it to any exBLAKs and tell them what it's for.
Oct 20, 2005 Screwball link
Martin, you got my address but I still haven't received the log...
Oct 21, 2005 Martin link
Hmm that's a worry. I sent it and didn't get a bounce.

I'll catch you in game to verify it.
