Well, day 1 has come crashing to a close!
First up, the Short Circuit has seen a good bit of activity today, notably from CMDR KliggJr, who has muscled his way past Drakhyr's Cobra into the lead in the Asp Explorer Grey Mullet. Drakhyr's mentioned what appear to be several attempts at copying Cookiehole's revolutionary space-bending docking strategy from Buckyball 9, but so far the station seems to be all too solid for him. More to come from both these pilots, I'm quite sure! For now though, he's the Kligg of the Castle.
No doubt intending to repeat the feat using the Boost Fail, Kligg also posted a solid time in the Circuit's Sidewinder class. However, at least for now, it wasn't to be. Buckyball veteran Cookiehole has been throwing everything at the wall from minute one to see what sticks, and apparently enough has stuck to suspend Blueshift at the top of the Sidewinder Challenge board for the time being. This is a tricky course with lots of room for adjustments, though, so I'm hoping for plenty more competition over the next week or so.
Next up we have our first entry in the Black Sheep, courtesy of Alec Turner and the Diamondback Explorer The Fokkest Uppest (which I'm sure enjoyed the trip to Fokker Dock). Who's going to step up to try and knock Alec off his perch? It could be you!
Finally, we've had quite a few additions to the Staging Area! GeoFalke is back, hoping to unseat Alec in the Black Sheep, and Jhyrryl is breaking The Mini Enigma out of storage to take a shot at any class he can get his hands on. We've gained a furrycat and a Black Rat for the Short Circuit, along with freedom4556 whose excellent favourite system name of Hotas has definitely helped pull us at least slightly out of the gutter.
Looking forward to seeing lots of action over the weekend! I'll try and drag the Samborca down to Friedrich Peters Ring for at least some of it; I heard the bar is in need of a restock...
