"COULD even be" ... you'll see precious, you'll see!

I have selevctive reading disorder.

I still maintain you said it's compulsory!

;P

 

[Fish172]

Blowing up is not an issue...............that thinking bit may be!!!

 

[Haresus]

I'm definitively intrigued.

 

[Ashnak]

Let's see...
I've returned to ED (once again), still should have some ships stored in the Bubble, it's 150 jumps to Colonia, it's dark and I'm wearing sunglasses.

Yes, indeed! I can blow up, no problemo. But thinking is so haaaard.

 

[nickweb]

I'll just leave this here...

 

[Alec Turner]

I've been asked to point out that the podcast version of the magazine (also being released later today?) won't be including the race details as they don't really translate that well to audio form.

 

[Ashnak]

Holy excrement! A race where you have to think beforehand. Now, where do I find a burning Coriolis station with noob hammers flying through a buckyball ad...

 

[Edelgard von Rhein]

Burning stations don't have advertising, iirc, though I think there has been one that was on fire that also had noob hammers, I'm not sure if it's been repaired since.

I'm not quite back in the Bubble but I should be at some point during the weekend, maybe even tomorrow evening. Not sure which ship I'll use.
Could do with about a hundred more bookmarks for this race, though!
Great idea for a race, we'll see how it turns out!

 

[Raiko]

Stations only burn for one week starting and ending on a Thursday.

Intent to race be a photo journalist.

Bingo! This guy gets it!

 

[Fish172]

Oh god why did I not take reading lessons instead of flying lessons...

 

[Ashnak]

Ok, since you want questions - what ships and loadouts will be permitted? I happen to have a nicely Engineered and Guardian'ed Phantom on the way to Millese. After all, getting shots of both Guardians and Thargoids calls for some decent jump capability.

Ah yes, glad you asked. I'm breaking tradition with this race and not bothering with a regulation ship class (since having a class where everyone is on an identical footing is moot when everyone is flying different routes). Fly whatever the hell ship you like (although as always, we appreciate those pilots who choose a "less obvious ship" for the shear entertainment value of it!).

After all, getting shots of both Guardians and Thargoids calls for some decent jump capability.

Maybe.

You don't HAVE to have both thargoid and guardian. Heck, you don't HAVE to have either.

*plots to meets some squadron mates and stage a combo shot...

 

[Ashnak]

Hmmm.... are you allowed to reconfigure your ship during the race?

 

[Alec Turner]

Errr ... thinks for a minute ... yeah sure, why not.
Intriguing!

 

[Alec Turner]

Incidentally, if anyone has things they want ask which they feel may giveaway their planned tactics then feel free to pm me instead.

 

[Darkfyre99]

Only question I have at this moment is: Will you accept video evidence?

Vlogging is the future!
