Buckyball Racing Club presents: Questing on Qixi (Triple Eight Championship, Race 4)

[Darkfyre99]

Crikey. Glad you all made it out OK and hopefully it's nothing too serious.

Same here. We’re sitting in our cars in our PJs currently waiting for the gas company. There’s only two gas operated appliances left in our house: the furnace and the water heater. I’m hoping it’s the furnace, and not the water heater. When we replaced the water heater, I really wanted an electric one, but I got talked out of it “due to the expense.” I’d hate to have this be an “I told you so” moment.

I’ve been talking up the advantages of heat pumps over gas powered furnaces for a while now, despite the cold climate. The furnace is getting on the old side, and hopefully if the furnace gets replaced, we’ll go that route.

Finger's crossed for you. I know quite a few people who use Heat Pumps and they do all rave about them.

Turns out it was the exhaust vent on the roof. So we’re without hot water until that is fixed.

All things considered, it could’ve been a lot worse, especially since the fire fighters who initially responded said that the upstairs CO detector should be replaced with a newer type.

Well I have managed to ramp my performance up somewhat. But why when you want to be interdicted does e.t leave you alone. The inconsiderate bstards.

Messy unlimited submitted. Boy, it takes almost as long to put in all those timestamps as it does to complete a run!

Race Update Newsflash:

If you are on Console; TBB-0TJ doesn't exist on Legacy; so at the Sterope II stop you may instead opt to dock at any carrier.

This only applies if you are on Legacy, not on Live!

 

[Chika Shirokane]

But we still get a 180s bonus for having our life support turned off for the entire run? (or are you scrapping that bonus entirely)

Yep! Because the race is on and the error isn't critical it would still be included.

And managing 7,5minutes of oxigen supply is not an easy doing if one goes to a ground base, then carrier and after that trying to make the way back (… I heard from a friend …)

This brings up a question for me - synthing oxigen would be fine? Rule said only fsd-synthing not allowed correct?

 

[Fish172]

You can do this with a D rated and no synth. Options - fit lightweight class A and forget about the problem or synth as you say.

Clarissa will have to confirm but I'd actually be very surprised if synthesis was allowed, it’s not usually.

No synthesis is allowed.

Ok A rated or just do D rated as it is possible lol

Leaderboards after the first weekend!

"There was a bit of technical issue as Starfinder Team worked tirelessly with the Buckyball Racing Club to get the Compulink STARTRAK 3301 working and spitting out scores, but here we are! You associate Starfinders have pumped out great photos of the Pleiades Nebula - enough to let us print promotional flyers with. There are brave associate Starfinders who was visited by the Thargoid friends, and some.... Let's just continue. Aiding Operation Ida in the meantime, we delivered cargo as we ran thru the course - tho there are... some curious finds in the delivered cargo, namely some sort of leather? We're looking forward to the following days as more racers and associate Starfinders dock at Tsat Tsz Mui, and we have prepared a temporary counter serving refreshments at Solo Orbiter and Ohm Horizons at the bar. Go grab some refreshments and we hope to see you soon speeding in hot and fast!"

Ooooh, worth the wait ... these leaderboards are gorgeous!

Unlimited run submitted!

 

[Ozric]

Leaderboards look amazing and a great little write-up too.
Those raw times to final times in Regulation are a great spread. There's a lot of bonuses, but it seems as though you've managed to get most incentives just right Clarissa.

Done a run and submitted it. Nice to see the Penny Benjamin still involved….

Yes, I panicked for a minute. Then realised that that carrier isn’t even called the Penny Benjamin anymore. Had a bit of bother removing that bookmark.
