Thank you Frontier devs for putting so much love into this game over the last while, it definately brought me back. I`m loving the begginings of colonization, epic job, its amazing to see the bubble expand and be part of that. I just want to remind you that this game, its custom tweaked ships, massive multiplayer playerbase and now unlimited planets to engage with is Perfect for racing!
So I would like to humbly shoot an idea to you all and the players to add even more engagement to this great game: Racing settlements.
I got this idea because I found a system to claim that has a moon where it would be fun to race on... My original plan was to build 2 settlements and race inbetween them, however,, the moon can only fit 1 construction spot on the ground.... So that got me thinking...
Can settlements expand, linked to other entities? Theoreticly the best would be if we could build a flashy Racing settlement, dock and speak with a unique contact that lets the system architect place racing beacons in order to a finish line. Beacons others can see in there hud and navigate to during a race. Maby they change color once youve scanned them like a nav beacon to indicate youve completed a checkpoint? If the devs are feeling really spicy and this is possible, use the racing becons with a.i bots to have racing "missions".
Im pretty sure this one building would easily add an extremely fun new profession into the game, I know i`d love it. Im guessing a few others would too.. As it stands, using current settlements for waypoints is kind of ghetto with a distance seperation not suited for .... srv racing. XD
I hear your next ship is going to be quite zippy, here`s a way to slap a little icing on the cake.
Thanks again for the hard work frontier, keep it up. If anyone can add some ideas/suggestions/limitations feel free to expand this post. Fly Dangerous Commanders!
