All other blocks are Cosmetics, Power Generation, and Logic/Rails.

Does weapon blocks without any computer link can be used for cosmetic purposes ?

Sure thing. Please no shootyshooty though, would spoil the fun for those who just want to race.

hmm, that gives me an idea. Would anyone be up for a separate racer category WITH GUNS?

Question: How tall can they be at most?
Either way, I'll make a vaygr one in a few hours, can't wait :D

Please try and keep it below 5 blocks tall. Any higher and it can start to look silly :P

 

[CyberTao]

And the other is CyberTao's old track.

Please tell me you arent encouraging people to try their luck on a painfully unfinished WIP import.

It's honestly impossible in the original state iirc

I know what you're up to.....

 

[The_Owl]

This seems interesting, so here's mine, the Arrowhead class skid racer,

No problem, it is not the purpose. I just want use the laser block to do kind of look-alike engines things. It won't use laser property or animation just the block.

Well it can be good but don't know how we'll spam push effect button while using weapons.
However I know it's possible to do some kind of Wipe Out motion behaviour on planet surface by balancing the mass/thrust ratio of the ship in order to stick to the surface and not be able to fly more than 5-10 blocks high, if it exceeds the ship usually stall. Like that you can't leave the planet's gravity. If tracks are done with planet segments I presume it possible to do a kind of Wipe Out like minigame.

HolyCookie at 2:39 : priceless.

It's certainly possible. I'll do some testing later on to try and determine the right ratio to balance speed and not flying out of atmosphere.

Working on a new track!

 

[CyberTao]

I've been cleaning up the track of mine that restored. The starting grid is missing, and some places still need touch ups, but it should be usable for testing purposes now.

 

[AtraUnam]

Got the track part of my track finished, its a fairly small track with lots of corners so don't expect to reach amazing top speeds, the main thing will be the obstacles getting added later.

 

[Gonzalo]

Are weapons/warheads allowed?

Dunno about warheads though, but i'd imagion not

 

[Captain Tankman]

Warheads qualify as weapons in this case

 

[Gonzalo]

ok so no stop/push/pull effect guns or emps i assume?

 

[Krazzydragon]

I know of at least one other person besides me that might have interest in that.
If you started something like that, would a racer with a turret be possible? Not thinking of an AI controlled turret ether. Something that would probably require a second person. Like combat skid racers with teams? Just a random thought. >.>

 

[Captain Tankman]

Yuss, team death race :D
Skid Racers: Double Dash:

 

[HolyCookie]

Jake_Lancia I have some cool ideas for the death race. To get that "weapons enabled" pickup possible.
