Several ideas came togeather to form this idea fully.
First: While the devs originaly tested hte new AI, a1 set up the bots to travel in a circle, sortal like a race
Second: The fury was aoriginaly a race ship for a race that never happened
Third: A1 had an "unreal" engine yesterday. When he started moving, he really moved.
These ideas came togeather to form the idea for a race. Here is how it works.
Out in the middle of no where, far from the nation sectors is a station against a huge roid, like 7's only MUCH bigger. The way it works out is once inside the station, there is a "race" butten. When you hit it, it puts you in a ship with a fast engine and stuff inside the roid on a track. The track is a big tunnel that snakes inside the roid. If you want to (and for a price) you can upgrade the ship. There are always 10 racers. Every time a human joins, an AI is replaced. The race starts every 30 minutes with a big billboard flashnig "GO". Along the track is varius dangers like frig turrets and rocks and stuff. The first person to get to the other end of the track win like 50k. You can have a really crappy gun to use, but the gun only does like 50 dmg.
About the gun and the AI: The AI would be trained to only use the gun if they have a clear shot and they're behind you, so they dont turn and shoot when they're shot at.
Track ideas will be posted some time

I like this idea. It could be a lot of fun.
So do I! I want it!
Track idea: bmm87.korrupt.com/images/track.jpg
0= Start
1= Rock pillers gonig from roof to floor. Can you dodge em?
2= Frig turrets mounted on the track walls. Can you make it through in 1 piece?
3= More big rocks
4= Short (25m) range lightning mines. Careful!
5= here be squeeze. Fly with care
6= End!
7= Short cut, if you can fly well

Frigate turrets should move back and fourth on the track, even when shooting, be like Smash TV or something.

Better yet, have it start in space, go through a roid, then through some more space, then through more space near a frig, then a mine feild, then rammer bots =P
You would have to go through rings the entire way though.

but people could interfer..
Better yet, try to go through an entire cluster of moving asteroids while moving at 700m/s. You know... just like in the movies. Muwhahaha!! I do, however, get the feeling that the Valkyrie started out as a racing ship. You just can't ignore that racing stripe color scheme.
Hmmm...that would be fun, provided you were fully able to maneuver...not locked down like in turbo.
Sounds cool... devs are you interested?
ay, sounds good :D
cheers
cheers
