Will you guys consider having a long distance endurance race for larger class ships like Constellations. For example a race across a section of the galaxy with specific check points along the way where you would have to make a pit stop to repair and fix your ships.asked by ChronosViper
Yeah! That's a great idea, and I know there are a few long distance rallies like that. It could potentially be fun, I don't know whether it's necessarily a Constellation race, but perhaps. Certainly could be an "info-runner" style race. One of the keys of SC is that we're really keen on having a lot of roles to play that aren't sort of the standard trading/fighting ones. That's why we're doing the racing mode, we're looking at things like salvage mechanics/mining mechanics, and info-traders/runners. Even search and recovery, and having all of that makes it a much richer world, and a funner place for people to play, much more varied than you'd had before.
