Tube Racing
Tube Racing returns for a second season.
Tube Racing is a test of pure piloting. Five races across five sectors — Sedina B-5, D-5, E-5, F-5, and H-5 — and nothing in the hold but nerve. Fly any non-capital, fighter-class ship you like, but the weapons stay off. There is no shooting your way to the front of this pack. There is only the line you choose, and how hard you dare carry it into the next bend.
The start is the first test. Gather within 100 meters of the host and wait for the call. "Ready." Then, when every ship has gone still, "Set." Nothing moves until the host calls "Go." Twitch early and your race is reset; do it again and again and you are finished for the night.
Then it is the tube. Cross the finish line ahead of the field and take 25 points. Second takes 18, third 15, and on down to a single point for tenth. Clip hard enough to punch out through a wall — or come apart entirely — and you score Did Not Finish: zero. The tube does not move. You do.
At the end of the event the points are tallied and the top six pilots split up to 21 million credits, with 6 million to the champion. And the leaderboard is lifetime — every point you have ever scored is still standing on it, which means the fastest pilots of Season One are already ahead of you.
Come take it from them.
Season Two will begin September 2nd, Wednesdays at 6 PM CST (2300 game time). Each event runs about half an hour.
