If you have need of an FC for future races then I'd be more than happy to make mine available as necessary. If we got enough of them, could do an FC to FC trail. I'm more than happy to leave my FC in situ somewhere for a week or two as necessary for any future events.

On another note, I now need to go and engineer a Sidewinder... :D

Thanks for the offer. In this case, a very long time ago now @CMDR Kai Zen offered to loan me his carrier for this next race so I hope none of the Buckyball regulars will feel offended if I take him up on that. Besides, if I were to use one of the BBRC carriers I can imagination the temptation to ahem snatch the carrier away just as Shaye was about to land on it would be far too high! :ROFLMAO:

The owner would need to see Shaye coming from at least fifteen minutes away to manage that. :D

It takes a lot of effort to offend me. My offer stands - but you are under no obligation to take me up on it at all. :)

We wouldn't do that ...
<examines morals>
actually maybe we would at that.

Another thought, would an FC taxi service help folk if the next race is a long way out of the bubble?
Mine is also available for BBRC shenanigins.

Oooh, now that might be a very cool idea! Closer to the time, if people want to volunteer their FC's as taxis heading out to the start system from the bubble, perhaps on a schedule so there's at least one taxi heading out that way every day or so .... that would be kinda awesome!

I had to return my FC from outside the bubble for this one. And irritatingly, due to some shenanigans at the bottom of the galaxy, I managed to lose my exploration data... You'd have thought I'd have learnt not to do that by now...

I'd also be happy to be a taxi service for future events if necessary (and I'm around, of course - but I'm usually loitering with no intent somewhere).

I also have a carrier available if the need ever arises.....First drink free..then you pay!
As for the race..thought this might amuse some folks..

I genuinely took all of these around just for the hell of it.

Well done to the winners and see you all soon.

Thanks again Alec.

I never did take my Cutter round. :ROFLMAO:

Though on that note, an idea for a future run would be big ship with a route of FCs. Landing big ships on FCs is a lot of fun as you can use boost (which in the Cutter, I can't at most stations unless I want to put a hole in the back of them).

I would gladly race my cutter..If you go through the archives of races you will see that I did on one course..it was hilarious. It was almost last however, but shockingly not as far behind as people would imagine.

Thank you very much for letting me participate, it was great fun! It seems I have a lot of room for improvement 🙈 . Time to get a new ship and start practising!

Worry not, there's no "letting" anyone participate here. Everyone who wants to be in, is just in. :)
No "git gud" here, only "git bettah" (y)
