Agreed, CrazySpence. Although you should get xp only for breaking a record, otherwise peeps could run the racetrack over and over like a hamster wheel to gain exp.
Also, just like we have a "Cargo Captures" stats page we could have a "Racetrack Top Times" page. For each racetrack, it would show the best time of the week for each ship class; bus, vulture, centurion, valk, ragnarok etc... 12 in all. It could also show the top ten times of all time for each ship class.
There could be a special "Race Channel" that broadcast a message when someone broke one of the track records.
For breaking an all time record you would get something like 500 xp for first place, 450 for second, 400 for third etc.
You wouldn't immediately be awarded xp for breaking the week's best record, but if at the end of the week you held the best time for a certain track in a certain ship class you would be awarded 100 xp.

And we should be able to bet on it. What's a race without betting?
yea betting would be cool
*bump for newcomers*

Racetracks would definitely be awesome. Gambling at them would be equally cool. Maybe a great way to make some money and increase commerce license or something
I think this is an awesome idea. I'd be really keen to get into doing some racing if these came back :)
Maybe have an all time record and a weekly record. You could get a bonus amount of experience for topping the all time record, and a much smaller amount of experience for getting the best weekly record, that would be decided by who was top of the table at the end of the week.
Betting also sounds fun to me, although even just as racetracks without these extra things I could see myself having fun with it.

Please don't bump these. The devs know you want this.
But we gotta remind them. I remember some thing that died for months, were bumped, and showed up in the next update.

thx roguelazer!
I'm new and I had NO idea that racing was EVER part of VO. now I see how many people share my dream!
Devs. PPPPPPPLLELASE!? I already know I could salvage at least 3 lost subscribers if you brought racing into the game. not that i'm trying to bribe you or anything, I just know racing would make the game THAT much more fun.

Lemme echo Apex here, I replied to the other thread with the same thing. But It's SOO much fun to race through the nooks and crannies of stations, I would love to see actual tracks.
Bumped again.

gimme gimme, those things look badass, make a few convoluted ones in sectors where you could bring weapons though, as fighitng in those tubes would be awesome.

Somehow I doubt it's necessary to bump it three times in one day. Maybe once every few days?
Or maybe Spellcast could add it to the growing list of pinned topics. At this rate, we'll need a new forum called "Pinned Suggestions".

The devs have responded to this thread in the past and are well aware that some people would like to see racetracks return. Bumping the thread won't speed up the process. I really don't think pinning it would be appropriate.
