I've linked this from my sticky "Best of Forum" thread in the hope of attracting a wider audience.
If I'm on Xbox One and wish to take part, any suggestions on how to submit the screen shots?
Ship: Fat Bottomed Girl, a.k.a. Project Copper Lizard
Type: Hauler
Relevant Engineering:
2A Thrusters @G5 Dirty Drive Tuning w/ Drag Drives
Speed: 5,003 m/s
Somehow lost nearly 300 m/s compared to my testruns, but, oh well. I'll be back.

Interesting!
This sounds like a great excuse to break out my racing Viper and re-tune it with the latest engineering blueprints.
Now, I just need to figure out how to do the gravity-assisted acceleration, and then pull off a braking maneuver that leaves me 200m off the terrain...
EDIT: Whelp, nevermind. Didn't realize this was out of the bubble. My racing Viper has pretty much a 0LY jump range.
Interesting! Any reason why I must get around to building that iCourier! Soon!
Edit. I presume SLFs are legitimate ships to use? That way I can print more after I pancake it!
Oh, wait... Won't that mean my ship will pancake too...
It's not THAT far out of the bubble (420ly to nearest station). But yeah, I suppose you need some kind of jumping / scooping capability. Look at it as a challenge for outfitting! My racing Hauler boosts to 700m/s AND jumps 50ly, specifically for stuff like this.
I would LOVE to see how the mothership AI pilots try to deal with that gravity, speed and vertical velocity!
I'll try to record one tonight. I'll use the Sidey and aim to get it faster than the space shuttle. That's my personal goal. How do you twitch? Perhaps I'll do that if I can work it outAnyone got a video of their run?
Anyone got a video of their run?
Here is my laughable attempt
Ship: USS Janeway
Type: Asp Explorer
Relevant Engineering: 4A Thrusters with G3 Dirty Drive Tuning.
Speed: 1,864
Bear in mind this is me not really knowing what I'm doing apart from hurtling towards the surface as fast as I can. I just read about planetary rotation having an effect or something, but it was fun Also this is my ship geared up for exploring, I'd have taken my IEagle over there but its too far for my short patience
