Hey guys,

I signed up back in 2004. You may know me is KiX or BoxCarRacer.

I'm gonna see what's new. What's changed in the last 2 years??? I'm interested in seeing if ANYONE remembers me, lol. Do we have more racing tracks yet??

Hey Kix,

I remember you. There have been a lot of changes in the last 2 years; player-crafted cap ships, a new mission system, Deneb stats, a new station over 20km long, an Android port of the game, with much more to come. I've left many other changes out, I'm sure; however, those are the ones that first come to my mind.

No new race tracks; just the good old Sedina B-5 through H-5 series.

I think Guides can create (temporary) race tracks, FiReMaGe had one or two up his sleeve if I remember correctly.

I forget what Ninny is, lol. I remember you all though. Except for tarenty. I don't think anyone beat my track scores yet! But then again the ships were slightly better when I was racing :)

YARRRRR!

Beat my G-5 score, I need a reason to play it more. :P

Nahin Lor, if you didn't know.

Will do, trying to get back into racing. How do I get a centurion superlight? All I got is IBG's. I feel like these ships go slower now... I think the IBG used to go 240 :( You could really swing around the turns and had a sense of speed.

The Superlight has to be manufactured. The manufacturing mission is unlocked by doing a Corvus mission tree. It's pretty involved so you may have to stick around for a while!

Do I only get 1 then or can I buy them? Can you sell ships to people yet?...

You get one of them from the mission, and then you have to build any other ones you want.

You can't sell ships yet, but some people do sell the kits to build superlights. Andy Spades has been hawking some lately. I think he was selling them for like 4M credits or something, not sure.

Hey Kix. I hear you're still slower than me in the Deneb Run. Which is saying something.
Apr 27, 2012 Touriaus link
We don't have the deneb run anymore. We don't even have tequila.
Apr 27, 2012 slime73 link
I have 5cu of real tequila stashed in Sedina for a rare occasion!

We have synth tequila!
Apr 29, 2012 LeberMac link
Bah. the synth tequila isn't even better than the industrial coolant I used to drink when I was out of tequila.

So I blame Mecha for letting the Deneb run lapse. Obviously the lack of widely-available Tequila and the lack of a Deneb Run are related. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the TPG Insta-Dethâ„¢ turrets that are everywhere now.
