Raceship spacetrack + concept art > good for multiplayer
Posted: Sat Mar 15, 2008 4:04 am
I had this idea yesterday and I think it could be very interesting.
First I was thinking about some ships I would like to see in vegastrike and my mind wandering I had this idea for a sleek raceship with awesome performanace and little to no practical uses other than fun. That was inspired by the so called "highborn luxury yachts"
Then I got the idea of racing those in some kind of huge tube track, using inertia and everything to drift in a very dangerous manner in the fastest way possible. Flying like that would be very technical, dangerous and challenging
I think it was worth a go for some concept art in order to check on feasibility and maybe inspire someone. Unfortunately I would not have the time to pull this out myself.
The idea is to have a huge track with walls you could hit and damage yourself (aka normal walls with transparency or not), there would be a pit access to the track and it would be sheer fun to race through this in multiplayer. You would be able to deck in the pits in order to repair your ship (pitstop) and maybe refuel.
I think it would fill the role of an entertainment station and would definitely add something really interesting to the universe.
Hope you'll find this interesting and worth a try.
Cheers,
