I sign.

On the idea of special Racing slicks, that would be cool. They could mount no weapons, have a weak hull (after all, do NASCARs sustain massive damage??), and could be outfitted with a custom engine that would accelerate faster, have a higher stop speed but couldn't be removed since that would just as well make it a new engine available everywhere!

Also, I think racing should stay since Guildsoftware is never going to get thousands of sectors to EVER be inhabited all th etime by players since not that many players are on at any given time. Racing woul dhelp them reach there goal but also provide used sectors rather than ones that only hermits travel to.

PS: On the idea of reference points, I think every so often the Metal Tubing would give way to Clear Tubing for enough time that a pilot can get his/her bearings and then it'll go back to Metal Tubing

PSS: Don't yell at me about these ideas, I am using your thread merely to run them past players. Don't even start with me, you will not win. Just a fair warning, I dont want this thread locked because of flaming.

yes, look at the damage NASCAR cars take. those things are like minature tanks.. roll bars are all that make them far superior to road cars. ;)



I feel that cause it IS a MMORPG, there should be some form of racing. That way people can become famous racers instead of killers.

Urza: When I mentioned NASCAR I meant that NASCAR's dont take very much damage. They are structural strong but they are really weak bodied.

I'm not starting with you, I meant that I wanted this to be a petition, not a forum for suggestig ideas. I don't care if you do so long as you sign.

Yes, I also love racing. Put my name on the list. Ah, the joys of playing tag while being lost in s45... :)

YAY! Racing tracks!

/me signs the petition.

Heh. Okay, so maybe this is a bit out of line, as we are supposed to TEST what you make, not MAKE a game - but we LOOVE the racetracks, and I think they should be kept in the final game in some way. On the news page it says they aren't part of the plan now, but it would add depth to the game to be able to race a bit.

So If you agree, simply type your name here.

They're soooooo fun. I want em!

I think these race sectors should have special race ships. You shouldn't be able to take the race ships out though, but essentially they'll allow you to turn at high speeds (like the unreal engine). In other words no boosters, but really fast cruising speeds. They don't need any weapons so they can have zero weapon ports.

The tracks also need to be easier to navigate. Right now if you have too many tubes overlapping in the background, you get the sense that you're trapped in a bubble. There needs to be more reference points to give you a better sense of depth perception. Other than that I think they're fun also.

I agree here, I think the race tracks would be a cool edition to the final game. :)

Arolte:

I don't care what they do, except that they need to make the tracks a bit easier to navigate - The point her eisn't to critique the racing, simply to say that you think they should keep it! And they'll have to refine it to put it into the final product.

Rawr! Excuuuuse me. I casted my vote, didn't I? I don't understand why you'd get angry over a few additional suggestions. Yeesh, chill out.
