I have just taken early retirement and seem to have some free time available to me. Less than I imagined. but free nevertheless. (Apparently there are at least 1 million repairs or decorating jobs need doing)I'll try to take a look at the course this weekend @Ozric and then will hopefully manage a run. I'm not having a great time with the current lockdown: homeschooling + working mostly from home = no free time.
But your race looks great and includes some places I've never visited, so hopefully I'll make it.
Unfortunately you are unable to buy this loadout in the Pleiades sector, so you will need to buy it in the bubble and fly out to the Pleiades with it. The Cobra has some of the best paint jobs, so I look forward to seeing what you’re flying.
Fingers crossed you can make it, but completely understandable if you can't. But I'm sure you can It is at least straight forward this race, if not slightly dangerous.I'll try to take a look at the course this weekend @Ozric and then will hopefully manage a run.

Very nice indeed!Prepping the Magnificent Boostard for Thargoid-harassing duties:
Nice, the decal goes well with the paintjob..Just finished my first research/practise run. Not convinced I've picked the closest sites/fastest route, but there's more time to look into that.
Just completed another couple of runs tonight, one research, one practice. Major pain in the rear I'm experiencing is finding the Thargoid Crash Ship quickly, doesn't seem to show up on Contacts until I'm right on top of it.Ok I have a route, I have a ship and have run a complete valid legal run. No scoop or double jumps needed and the hull can take the entire course. Think I is ready for the race. May not be fast but I will be able to run it.
Oof, I feel for you there. It's bad enough accidentally dismissing you ship during a race anyway but you got a double whammy there!Third structure, fundamental lesson learnt here; accidentally DISMISSED THE SHIP while trying to transfer the sensor. ARGGHHH. Had to drive 2.5km away from the structure in order to recall the ship, fly it back to the structure, land and then deploy SRV etc.
You are indeed.Just assuming that in Open class, you are permitted to use a corrosion resistant cargo rack?
