Cryptic, Why Why no mini game for raceing ships or missions

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Like thy title states, Why no race missions or PVP race missions. you get items to boost your ships speed and turn rate. So Why no Race mission? look to season 7 of Voyager Episode 249 "Drive" airdate 10-18-00. http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Drive_(episode) .That is the best example that I have, any way all the items are there to modify the ships to do the racing, and make rules for the races like what items you can you and how. Please make Reputable random missions for Solo play Friend play and PVP.

    It would actually be a very good reason to use Runabouts, while adding more social content.

    YA I didn't even think of the Runabouts. That is great idea and it would let people win more on skill then I have the best engine and turn speed.

    Races where you could shoot at your oponents to slow them down would be cool.

    As they have already said they are adding a modeled Sol sola system, it would be a good spot to add something like this.

    If the designers were more open to what has historically been successful in MMO's I think they would eager to make what some may call "sandbox" areas...

    Personally I think things like this, and other player / staff driven events add much to a game.. The race idea is a cool one... I think an event where admiral 5's raid in their Constitution Class / Miranda class ships could be cool.. there are a hundred cool things that can be done that are memorable (and free) when you have the atmosphere to do it in....

    That's why common areas and open worlds are such a big thing... I recall in other games where out of nowhere dev's, game staff of all stripes, would come into the game and put on a show with their bags of tricks, and how it really brought masses of players together...

    STO lacks that by dividing everyone up into neat little shoe-boxes...

    I have close friends that have been playing since beta just as me, yet the instance vibe has just fostered such a partitioned feel in the entire game, that I've never even "hung out" with them (as it were)...

    Shared experiences that are not pre-programmed can bring a lot of people together...even if it's just for a laugh... It helps....

    This is an awesome idea. Ship racing would be very cool. Not only was this done in ST: Voyager, but Stargate SG-1 had a very cool starship race episode, where automated weapons were fired at the ship to slow or damage them. Plus, being able to use tractor beams or repulse to slow or knock other ships off or around the flight course would be cool, depending on what skills you have.

    Very nice idea OP.
