jacobgong Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 boooooooooooooooooooooooooring! too slow, too safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NQMT Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 1. They most definitely are not slow.2. Nobody wants Jeb to die in a car crash... They want him to die in a ROCKET crash! Best to keep him safe for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobgong Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 under 200m/s is slow, under 100m/s is unbearable.Jeb doesn't have to die, but he can take risks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisarmingBaton5 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) What happens if our driver dies in the car? Shall we install 5 chicanes per track per crash?EDIT: Also, may I suggest using a 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 scoring system like the one currently used in Formula 1?

NQMT Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hey DB5! Nice to see you back!I think having extended points is too many, and I'm not sure we'll even get 10 drivers.If your driver dies in the car, you've made a bad car. I suggest a redesign.

DisarmingBaton5 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Another question: If we attach a command pod to the car (for the purpose of crewing) and jettison that with rockets before driving the car, is the car still eligible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NQMT Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 brobel: In the mod pack: FAR, PersistentTrails and the 9 tracks needed for the Championship.DB5: I usually attach the CP with an I-beam and decouple/separate it. If you use rockets, that's perfectly fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainGiblets Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Finally, what I've been waiting for! Back to the drawing board. Also do we need screenshots for the race? Edited February 2, 2014 by CaptainGiblets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NQMT Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 CaptainGiblets, only two screenshots are needed for the race: at the start line and at the finish line. You must have the MET clock shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GROOV3ST3R Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 3 Screenshots actually - you also need to show the racing line you took, otherwise how can we know that you didn't just cut across every corner ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainGiblets Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 True, but how would you draw the line?

GROOV3ST3R Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Persistent Trails has been put into the modpack for convenience, along with FAR. All you do is merge your KSP win with the one in the pack and you get all track layouts, far and persistent trails to record your track. It's kind of a requisite for this challenge as it's the only way we have of verifying your track and validating your time.Also, Trails will show you the track that you need to take as well as let you record your own entry so you don't get lost on the way.

Can we have two drivers alternating, or only one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NQMT Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'd prefer only one. I'm sticking with Nico Kerman, and my team is Kyrian Racing.If you want, you can have Daniil Kerman of Koro Rosso, if you really must.You can edit your persistent file to change the name, but you need a team name.And as GROOV3ST3R said, 3 screenies. I'll update that soon.- K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
