Elite racing events, race winners keep all!!

Hey all,

Just an idea I had this morning. I was wondering if we could setup a race around an asteroid belt.

It would involve ejecting cargo, lets say 20 canisters of something "cheap" randomly floating within asteroids per race.

The race organizers would go out and place canisters randomly around asteroids up to a maximum of say 20 so we know how many are out there..

It would involve 2 ships (or more) just sitting at 0 throttle outside of said asteroid belt. The race organizers would scan each ships cargo hold to make sure they both have zero cargo at the start of the race.

The idea is to set off and scoop up 8 (or 4 for sidewinders) canisters as fast as possible, the first ship back with 8(4) of them in tact wins and keeps there collected cargo.

We could add a little danger to the event and have player controlled sidewinders in the mix that are there solely to disrupt the racing ships by shooting at them (not to destroy them, just little pop shots)

Could events like this be possible to organize in future patches when the grouping system works better? I for one think it would be fun!

Yer I guessed it would not be practical until further down the line.

We would need better comms, easier way to all join the same instances or private groups etc..

Im thinking a Teamspeak server dedicated to organizers and competitors would be required for easier race setups etc..

Im sure once the game becomes more stable, we will be seeing alot more stuff like this. Its one of the great things about Elite.

We may even need to hire personal security force, to make sure no pesky pirates or smugglers try sneak in to steal our canisters mid race lol!! ;)
