oh the fun. =)

nothing quite like having some jolly fun with layouts rarely seen. like an EC88 with adv. rails vs a tri-popcorn, dual conc rag. okay, so the EC88 can only miss two shots (which sadly it does, those tri-popcorns hurt I tell you!). anyway, fly an oddball ship today, and fight another oddball ship! no worries about missions or reason, just plain fun! actually, quite like some furballs I've been in with VPRs, thanks for that too! one downside though, bus vs bus ramming seems very hard to win before someone dies of old age. other ships are recommended. =)

also, for the non-PVP-inclined, take cargo-modelling lessons from UPN, learn how to make a smiley face in mid space! (we really need the timeout for cargo to go up a bit). racetracks are fun, but try having a race in a roid sector where you have to tag a set of roids as you pass them (mineral scanners are nice, a judge can verify the shots at a comfortable distance).

anyway, think outside the box, there is a *lot* of fun out there. VO is fun! :-)

ooo, soccer! we need roids as goals and two teams, and a ball. I'd suggest an EC88. popping the ball is a loss for your team. :-)

no weapons that cause damage are allowed, but concs, repair guns, mining beams and scanners are fair game for any reason at all.

heck, this we have to try some day.

I know the perfect spot: the hollow borehole in Verasi I-5 ;) Or the one in Dau would work just as well. We'd have to make sure everyone was of the same nation so as not to get te strikeforce all riled up.

There used to be a station just like it back in alpha... it was great fun :).

Also, one of the racetracks has a hollow asteroid that's a lot of fun to play in and around... great place for a demolition derby. Busses only, no weapons, ram each other to death! ;p

Actually a1k0n's the real cargo art mastah. He's created cargo smily faces with the press of a button! :P

Soccer! Inside of D14!

Concussion mines don't trigger SFs. People can fly Moths with conc mines launchers, use an EC88 as a ball!

(although, this is probably more like rugby...)

Wheee!

Celkan, if you have never seen spucks cargo art, you really cannot comment :P he doesnt use cheating devbinds either :) but i have seen him draw a near perfect double helix (dna) in about 1:30 minutes.
