For many centuries we, humankind, have reaped the benefits of the work of a few, talented people. This race is to honour a handful of these people in a race called:
NOTE: Extended play: Now runs until 23. October
The race is starting from Archimedes City in BD+49 1280 and ends in Thorne Terminal in BD-02 5286. Between start and finish, you have to dock at one station named after each scientist in the list below. You can visit the stations in any order you prefer. You don't need Horizons to participate in this race, and any size ship can have a go. You are allowed to land at planetary outposts if you like.
Every waypoint must be documented by taking and submitting screenshots to the race marshalls, along with shots of the module tab.
Ships and classes:
There are three classes; Regulation DBX, Open Stock and Open Unlimited:
The Regulation DBX: Diamondback Explorer loadout
Can be built for around 10Mcr. This class can be flown in either Solo or Open mode.
If you want to, you can upgrade the Basic Discovery scanner to an Advanced Discovery Scanner.
No other modules may be altered.
The Open Stock class allows any ship with any stock modules. Enhanced modules sold at Engineers are not permitted. This class MUST be run in Open.
In the Open Unlimited Spec class the sky's the limit. Any ship with any loadout or engineer mod can participate. This class MUST be run in Open.
NOTE: The use of Jumponium is NOT permitted in any class. All runs have to take place in the regular game. No Beta allowed.
There is an "Alphabet Bonus": If you complete the run in alphabetical order, you can deduct 50% from your time.
Posting your intent to race:
Reply to this thread with the following information:
CMDR (in-game) Name.
Forum Name, if different from your CMDR.
Class you will be running in (Reg. DBX / Open Stock / Open Unlimited)
Ship type, if in any Open class.
Ship Name.
The course:
The systems / stations in question are:
Start line: BD+49 1280, Archimedes City (69Ls, Orbis Starport)
Bohr
Curie
Darwin
Einstein
Faraday
Galilei
Hawking
Ising
Joule
Kirchoff
Lavoisier
Maxwell
Newton
Oersted
Pasteur
Qurra
Roentgen
Sommerfeld
Finish line: BD-02 5286, Thorne Terminal (425Ls, Unknown Starport)
Documenting your run:
You have to document both your ship and its equipment by taking screenshots of all modules in the Modules tab.
You also have to document your racing time by taking screenshots on the following locations:
1. Just before pressing "Launch" in Archimedes City - The clock and station name has to be visible.
2. At every station you dock at. Again, the clock and station name has to be visible.
3. When you arrive in Thorne Terminal, take the final screenshot as described above.
More detailed descriptions can be found HERE
Normally, the F10-key is bound to taking screenshots. The images are normally located in the folder /Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/Pictures/Frontier Developments/Elite Dangerous
As an alternative, you can record your entire run on video, using ShadowPlay or similar software, then make still pictures from the paused video using the cutting tool in Windows.
Handing in your racing documentation:
Your documentation should consist of:
Module tab shots ( if the list can't fit one one screen, you must scroll down to capture all modules ).
20 Shots of you docked at the stations/outposts showing the station clock.
Post all these images on imgur or a similar image hosting service - one page per racing time submission.
Then send an email stating:
In the subject field: Your CMDR name and Your racing time.
NOTE: Please use THIS to calculate the correct racing time.
In the mail body:
Forum Name (if different from CMDR)
Racing class
Ship type (if not regulation DBX)
Ship name
