Bring back the racing missions?
TL;DRRacing missions broke with a past update and need engineering, UI and other work to restore; they also want a more accessible experience, but no date is given.
We have a bunch of missions, like the courier ones, that, I don't want to say died, but broke when we did 4.0. The systems changed and it was quite a lot to get back. The racing missions are also one of them. It's kind of a multifaceted thing to get them working. It requires a little bit of us, a little bit of engineering, a little bit of UI, to get it all together. However, we also want to look at the experience of it. One thing that we found really frustrating, and I know players did as well, was: I get my ship, I fly 30 minutes to get to the racetrack, I bungle out on the first fucking corner, and then I'm like, right. Let's get that flight suit, let's reclaim that ship, let's wait. We want to try to get a nicer experience for racing missions than what is currently. Ages ago there were all these talks about having some form of a little landing bay right next to the station, maybe a little med zone, boom, boom, back in the ship, round the track. Because yeah, we want racing in, but we also want it to be fun and accessible.
