I had enough trouble with that track at vanilla cruise speeds...

Thanks!

Hope its not too hard, I might try a little when I get home.

Alright, here's the first ship, might still tweak a few things on it but it's mostly done.

What I'd like to do is have one ship for each house, one for the corsair alliance, and one for the outcast alliance, each with a unique design but the same general size/shape/etc.

It's basically four engines, a couple h-fuel tanks, and a cockpit, tied together with an abundance of control mechanisms, fuel pipes, and some duct tape =P

I love it.

Keep in mind people, that aerodynamics don't matter a bit in space. It could even lose the wings, to get rid of the mass.

Nice ship.

I wouldn't mind seeing (as Tena said) a ship for each house, a Generic Pirate/Civilian, and then Outcast Alliance/Corsair Alliance racing ships.

Well if aerodynamics don't matter in space, why make all the ships look cool and unique? :P

In any case, it reminds me of a stock car + a pod racer which is good considering its made for racing.

Id love to see some houses go for the 'chunky' look though and others for the 'super-sleek' look, for variety :)

but wings make it look faster.

Plus, like the GMG ships jinx made, can explain the wings as airfoils used to increase manuverability in nebulas.

EDIT:

Should I put big signs on the outsides of the engines with the racer's number and house logo? =P

Don't need a new system for this, there is already one designed and about to be placed in the mod. It has a race track that blows away the silly little thing in Dublin.

So we've got a host for the races, just need the racers themselves.

Hmmm, maybe Aegira (being a multi-trillion credit company) would sponsor a modified CTE class ship.

I can see the infocard now; "The CTE-RC (Racing Class) was originally a Griffin class fighter frame, it was stripped down by a team of Aegira engineers and rebuilt for maximum speed and maneuverability with no regards to any sort of cargo room or combat effectiveness"

Since I just redesigned the Griffin I could cook up a racing version...

Id suggest that ship classes sponsored by a house prominently display the house logo and be painted in house colors, and ones sponsored by a company show off the company logo and so on...

Perhaps Pirate or illegal ones could sport cool designs, like a scorpion emblem for the Xenos...

Ok, Here's the textured version:

Sporty, eh?
