New Tutorials have Checkpoints, but why not Players? Custom Racing

[Cosmo]

The new tutorials have cool checkpoints. This is an often requested feature, because it enables custom race tracks. Players could place checkpoints in a certain area and race with a wing. This would improve emergent gameplay. So why doesn't Frontier add this?

Add some pre-made race tracks in the Bubble. Pilots could participate to earn credits and fame.

Probably not as easy to implement in Open as you make it sound - but it would be fun addition.

I like the idea, but it may take time to implement in Open. They have similar powerup rings in CQC as well, but it has been a while since I played.

That - plus custom navigation waypoint plotting on the Galaxy Map!

I see you noticed the potential racing checkpoints too....

I don't know if it would be easy to implement, but man, it will be worth it!
