After flying around in the Runabout...

Ok so after flying around in the runabout I am seriously wanting to participate in small craft (shuttle) races...

while practically useless for fighting (except for starbase 24 :-) ) I really want to start up a shuttle racing league!

I really like the addition of the runabout to the ship lineup. id like to ask if there is any way we can get other pilot able shuttle craft (even trade-able) would be better. for racing variety. or maby the shuttles for the vo'quiv be pilot-able.

it would be really cool to have a whole bunch of different shuttle types in races.

Just an idea! :D

    I could see it as a mini-game (and would like it) but other than that, not likely.

    Sadly, there arent enough engine customization options in STO to make a race very interesting. All you would have is everyone with the same type of impulse engines running on full impulse for the entire race.

    I really think they could implement "shuttle engines" to change up different stats only useable in the various shuttles. (if there were more than the runabout in the game)

    Sure. But again, wouldnt everyone just have the fastest engines for traveling at full impulse? In STO, there is no effect that your ship's weight has on your speed, so as long as two people have the same engine, they can go the exact same speed regardless of ship size.

    i was thinking more of an autocross thing where you have turns, and obsatcles, rather than raw speed.
