That's what I'm going for in a way, pod races. I just didn't want to use that term.

Thanks, I will take a look and see what they did.

No Comments yet? Hmmm where is all the love and hate in this world? I want to hear both.

Check out Peter's Story on our organization page! The Humanity Of Tomorrow chapter 3:The Solar Dreadnought(part 2)

I think caves would be a cool idea. Could be a way to hide a small base, deep down in a cave. As long as there aren't too many of them, giving too much ease of access to rarer minerals.

I like that serrated edge.

Even i'm tired of this lol. Was my thread already in the top posts, not good enough for you? Wheres that guy beating a horse picture when we need it?

**Update : The IHRC is looking for representatives from organizations who would like to be a part of the racing. Individuals who want a say can also join. The representatives will have a say in what the rules and regulations are. Each rep. will be able to cast a vote on each individual rule and reg, once the ballots have been created. I would like to have at least 10 members before creating a ballot. We have 4 members right now. Remember this organization is more of a hobby for you in the universe, you can still be part of your regular organization. So if you are a legate of a org and want to be a part of this please send a rep to us. I don't want to be a dictator who controls every part of this. ** **Also looking for players who will be in the alpha to help with testing, to see what is possible.** About The Interstellar Hovercraft Racing Committee This Organization consists of dedicated members. These members are tasked with creating the rules and regulations, for the hovercraft racing league. Voting by these members will determine the rules. This is not the organization for the racers. Remember we are still creating the "game" we are not looking for the "players" right now. We will advertise when we are ready for racer requests. Hovercraft Racing will be a series of races governed by a set of rules. Open to anyone able to meet the standards. Proposed Rules for the races are as follows and open to discussion --Size of craft to be limited. Limited by a minimum and maximum size. This may include a voxel count and a physical size. --Qualifying Rounds leading to a final ( depending on track size and racer participation) --No weapons allowed --No outside help -- 1 person in control of 1 craft. --Tracks will be large , with obstacles in the way, with natural segments(if flat enough). --Referees will be tasked with player management. --Going out of bounds will result in immediate disqualification. (this will be changed, as opposition is growing against this suggestion) --Like the Olympics, the event to take place in multiple locations. Locations approved by the Committee. --If possible the entire track will be constructed in safe zones. (Not sure how safe zones work. Can others come in and just not damage anything or access certain things. Or does a safe zone not allow somebody to enter all together. Or is this changeable?) - Pilots, technicians and sponsors will form teams - Leagues will build circuits (or choose from independent owners), enrol teams, organize racing seasons, schedule races, keep ranking, advertise, etc. - On the long run, with civilization expanding, there will be multiple leagues (maybe 1 planetary per planet, 1 stellar per system and 1 interstellar) - Qualifying to a larger league would be achieved by competing in smaller ones Leagues should have the same rules, and stating this rules shouldn't be the responsibility of one of them. That's where the committee steps in, as an unique structure. The objectives are then clearly given: committee decides the rules, leagues do competitions following these rules. To have the required authority and stay connected with "reality", I think the committee should have a body of voters made of leagues representatives.

AHAHHA that horse picture perfectly fits how i feel about this thread.

So embarrassed by this thread I am. If I could delete it I would. Had no idea it would go on for this long, I was basically joking!

sorry about that, i honestly copy and pasted from my post on the community site.

I would say this org would only be for people contributing towards making the rules and regs, no racers. This org would also only keep people in it contributing, dont want any nefarious sleepers in this org.

Agreed. Should we create a organization, for the people who want to contribute to the races regulations? anyone interested.?

Size limits are necessary for track design. + all craft will be inspected before hand, if one was to big it would be denied.

I hear ya, but we shouldnt have some one making a super wide ship either Remember i want it to be a Universal thing, not just the solar empire running it.

i think length of the track is going to be determined by the physics of it. like how fast can these things even go? would like it to be pretty long and do laps, not just a one time go around.

size restricted by physical size, like a box say, that it must be able to fix inside. not sure how you would count voxels. secured by referees in ships flying above. anyone goes out of line or tries to cheat is immediately disqualified.

I was meaning more personal bets, rather than some gambling system.

**Update - - A organization has been created for the committee, tasked with the creation of rules for these races: "Interstellar Hovercraft Racing Committee". Only Serious applicants will be accepted. *** Introducing The Interstellar Hovercraft Races!! Hovercraft size to be limited Only Hover technology will be allowed No Weapons allowed All craft will be inspected before races. All Organizations can submit racers Courses/Tracks to be similar to that of the pod races in star wars. If popular enough we wish different orgs to host the events! The Solar Empire Wishes to provide some entertainment in the universe that doesn't involve violence. And of course Gambling is legal in The Solar Empire on these races!! Join The Solar Empire Today, help build a safe, secure and fun society! (this is a work in progress , and open to suggestions)

yes but copyright laws are sketchy and Disney has some good lawyers (not that im that worried, they probably only go after people making $ of their copyrighted material). Every time a motorola "droid" phone was sold Disney made $. I used to do the same thing, until we got "yelled" at by the community. But we have done our best to stop.

LOL im sorry but are you serious? Disney cares about people using their images and video without their permission. The artists who poured their hearts into making these pictures could care. You could actually be sued for using the art, if the artist doesnt want you using it. Using your own art shows how creative you are. Look at all of the top orgs, most of them only use their own artwork. And Empire has benefited from working on, using their own work. So MANY people care if the art work isnt yours.

Welcome! im a big minecraft fan also, and was gonna say for a sec there, this doesn't look like it was made in minecraft lol. Have you heard or tried space engineers? I would check it out. It has the same system of being able to play in survival or creative.

just for the Record - i am a silver backer of the dual universe kickstarter. i also never said the game should be free. you are the idiot if that is what you think. that is also your opinion if you don't like free games. i know people that only play dota2 or lol, i don't know how those games are so lame, and if you don't play exactly right you will have 5 people yelling an bit*** the whole time.

Full power to forward shields!!! yeah this actually sounds like a cool idea

yeah this one guy in our org, is in at least 4 orgs. some people like forget what org they joined, then just join another. Or send out multiple apps and have them all accepted. i think you should only be able to be part of one.
