I was wondering, if anyone else has backed, and fancies a LFS.net mini time-trial? We'd probably have to do something like pasting screenshots or the like, for now, but I figured it'd be fun.
If you don't know what Star Citizen is; it's an upcoming space trading and combat simulator. Currently in pre-alpha, smaller components are being released to backers to allow them to experience the game as it's being created.
The Murray Cup is an in-fiction event that allows players to race against each other and is part of the 2nd module, called Arena Commander. There are other modes as well all involving combat
If you want to check it out, I've uploaded a small video of a 3 lap race at the basic circuit (there are more complex ones) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thZFTJdQ3Mg (forgive the crap quality and black bars, I relied on shadowplay, which was a mistake).
There are a bunch of ships available, unfortunately as it's pre-alpha and there's no real game as such at the moment, you cannot earn new ships in-game (which is a bit of a bummer as they're **** expensive imho, even if you are supporting the development it's getting a bit insane). When it's finished this will be possible.
I'm flying a 300i, which is one of the slower ships. There's a few m50s at least 1 350r in that race. Both are about 50% quicker than my ship - however most people don't have any race-craft at the moment so it's reasonably easy to do well (for now).
