Quote:I think it would be fun to have a yearly event that tests new and veteran players to the limits.
Racing through asteroid fields (without waypoint locks)
A to B races (systems)
Whoever can get closest to a solar corona and not die =P
Events for fighters, bombers, etc etc
Rewards such as Olympiad infocard and maybe cargo boosts or other kinds.
Just some basic ideas for it...=)
Revisions:
There could also be trade races, and Olympiad duels where everyone gathers and two people fight. They can even bet credits on who will win!
All the teams would be faction based.
Top 3 factions to win the most gold medals (supplied by IMG of course!) could get a shiny forum badge and as stated above, an info card or some type of small useful prize.
The final race could also be first one to Corinth!
