Is there anything about underground racing being written into the lore? With the Armada package being as much of a hit as it was, my org is looking to start an underground circuit of Capital Ship Cup Racing, where Idris and larger ships are the timing rings that the racers pass through to mark progress around a course. I had the idea when I saw the first video of Star Citizen featuring the Bengal, and then the Top Gun homage sealed it. And after seeing the hangar control room in the Citizen Con Morrow Tour I realised that tracking which ships come and go might not only be simple, but even recorded on the ship's log.asked by GeraldEvans
TL;DRUnderground racing is already worked into the lore, and the team would like to give players tools to build their own courses, though capital-ship racing is only an idea and details are unsettled.
Underground racing is something we have worked into the lore and also something that will be really fun to provide the tools for players to set-up some themselves being able to create their own race courses. I've had a couple of conversations with design so it's something that's interesting and maybe we'll be able to do it but we still have to work out some of the details of it. It's a really fun idea using capital ships that way as the rings to race through.I'm not sure that ships themselves will allow that. And also different forms of racing too that we've talked about right now most of the racing is done with very fast ships but getting in the larger ships imagine a couple of Hull-E's racing around that would be really funny. Some of the systems we've established lore forAdam Wieser: There's the Able Baker Challenge which takes place in the Baker system which is right now in the lore canon the most famous underground race in the 'Verse but that said it doesn't mean it's the only one and it doesn't mean that a really cool race that is somehow put together by an Org or by you guys that comes to prominence so it's definitely something we know is out there,You know NASCAR here in the United States started off as bootleggers just trying to run away from cops and that turned into race and I wouldn't be surprised if in the course of making the game that you guys find some cool things to be able to do something similar to modify your ships or to (make) different courses or maybe even parts of the universe, I know we are conscious of planets and where asteroid belts are and stuff like that and once all those get fleshed out you get an actual seam in the game you may find that some places that were never intended to be a race course actually make a really cool race course we're eager to see you guys get out there and do stuff like that.
