Allow me to state something very clearly for everyone here. This is about Racing Balance and I would like everyone who has an opinion to add "spice" to a race should read this. Due to the fact that we have experience in racing like this, believe it or not, please read the following and do no immediately throw it away:

Problems with having chasers in race events:

1) When being chased, you cannot fly in a straight line:
One of the things about racing in disco is that it is different than other racing games. When you hit engine kill to CD ahead of you, you are a very easy target. This fact alone can ruin an already balanced race becasue the chasers behind you will just shoot and kill the fragile ship. It is actually very hard to make a race and try to pass someone else in this situation. Please think about it becasue it is also hard for my to explain this in detail.

2) See above: Moving through loops is especially hard.

3) The skill level for us is not the same all around. I have members telling me they will only last 30 seconds and they want to have a chance to race with the skill level they have.

4) Ganking:
Everyone hates being ganked and this is the same for racing. if you have a 3 racer match and have 5 chasers, usually one guy will be ganked by 5v1, sheilds will go down, and CDs will be spammed until death or missiles.


Basically what I am trying to say is that only for players who have a high skill level in dodging can find this attractive. The people that suggested this have actually a very good pvp skill level. Some other players do no, unfortunately. It is therefore very hard to balance this event out if someone tells me "You can just have people chasing while you are racing"

There is a REASON why i deny this argument as we have DONE this in the past and it did not end will. As a faction leader I want my members to have fun. I want them to gain in skill, but also not through them down into a volcano.

While it is a nice idea, it needs to be balanced or else people will not have a good time on the racing side.
