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![](/static/smilies/smile.gif)
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).
