Excellent write-up Cmdr Clarissa and a fantastic race! I would like to apologise (again) for messing around your original scheduling for an August race (especially as I now realise there was a theme reason for that). My reason was that, because my original race idea was specifically designed for the SCO fsd, I wanted to wait until the Python Mk II was available for credits (which it now is). Unfortunately, the preceding races have already given us more than enough opportunity to utilise SCO and I no longer think a race involving long supercruise distances would be that interesting. Additionally, I now feel that the stability of the Python Mk II in SCO would effectively cause that ship to dominate too heavily in the race I had planned and essentially become the meta for anyone trying to be truly competitive. So instead I'm now changing my race which means I could have run it in July after all. Oh well, these things happen.
Oh, and on your "no shields" bonus, I think it would have worked better if repairs had been disallowed as well. Running without shields isn't that significant a penalty if you can simply repair again between each leg of the race. Anyway, no worries and over all, a really excellent race, thanks again for running it!
