Space Racing

[elgeeko]

I agree with the no shield, or rather I think it should have a starflea shield to keep collisions from incurring direct instant hull damage

It makes sense that a racer would want to insure his hull a little bit. Paint-tradin' is bound to happen after all.

As for the ship... Tenacity owes me a new keyboard because I just drooled all over mine.

This brings up another point

Nighthawk's comment triggered an idea for me;

Specific racing ships can be for track racing but regular fighters can enter something more like the Baja-500 meets Deathrace on steroids in the underground.

Here is the scene;

5-20 ships from all illicit, shadowy, criminal, or just neutral/Freelancer backgrounds start at a base and are sent to procure a commodity from a dangerous system via a difficult route, or to complete some other task, or simply to race from one system to another via a dangerous and difficult route.

I can see it now, "The 1st annual Trans-Barrier rally!! shooting is not allowed until after you leave the system."
