Discovery Olympics REVISITED

[Tytanis]

My old thread:

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!

thats stupid...for one thing with a transport its incredibly easy to get 0m away fro mthe actual star object,inside the corona...anything smaller than a transport will be instantaneously vaporized

Dropping from the 3rd-story dorm room I'm in would be painful.

So the whole idea is stupid because of that issue? QFT. Go to another thread please.

Hmm, while races without waypoints would be... awkward, I wouldn't mind seeing battle events in Connecticut.

Face it in the end with this game engine, combat is what it'll boil down too. I'd love to see Virus against all bombers in there, I hear he is a monster with a bomber.

Discovery Olympian Battle Championship? Would be nice to see.

Sadly races on this type, I'm afraid its not the idea's fault, it's the game's fault.:(

It helps to actually have constructive criticism, rather than brainless thoughts.

The idea doesn't stink, the game itself stinks. The game itself wasn't designed for this style of racing. Please don't be so aggressive with your comments. This isn't YouTube.
