Race server?

I’m working on a mod that also has a focus on racing, but I don’t think it was me, as I do not even have an official release, let alone a server.
There is always need for betatesters, though

Sounds like something I’d like to test I’ve had an interest in racing in FL as long as its better than the Hovis racetrack in single player. I’d love to see this working.

(It was Hovis, right?)

i am not quite sure about the progress but i will quote the mod maker here. I am not quite sure about if its that what you mean…

As you already know, I’m gonna make a new mod. It will be like nothing you’ve ever seen in Freelancer. And it’s gonna be about only one thing: Racing.

Ok now some information:

Story, Racing

• The Story and the Game will be all based on racing. In later versions there shall be no nomad story. It will be replaced by Racing story and quests [so it’ll be fun in MP too].
• The Races will be given by the story, picked as jobs in the bar, organized by players (in MP) and [if possible], created in space with NPCs [like quick duels]
• In MP there shall be implemented betting system w/ FLHook [if possible. if not, event managers will take care of that]
• The races can be system-wide or universe-wide, there shall also be drifts, drags, smoke challenges and other types of races
• There won’t be much trading, but money will be easy to get, if you know how. Also, racing will be kindly rewarded.
• Credits will be really valuable. Remember all that trouble Trent went through to get 1m credits? Now 1m credits will be… lots of money

Universe

• The universe will be completely re-done. There shall be no more original systems.
• All the systems will be 3-dimensional. You’ll need to go up and down to explore and to race.
• Random wormholes implemented [if I can find tutorial from the old TLR]
• Completely new bases [models] and other stuff
• Radioactivity fields to act as time-limits

Ships

• There shall be no Vanilla FL ships. All ships will be custom-made and each will represent a car in real life.
• There shall be many car classes, varying in speed, handling and other features
• NPC fighting will be minimum in the story, but PvP fights will be interesting due to new weapons [not lots of them tho, but each one - balanced] and other stuff (such as equipment)
• Upgrades for your ship’s speed, handling and other features. Each ship will have customisable spoilers, color options, rims etc. Some cars will even have purchasable bodykits

Groups

• There will be three main groups: The good [cops], the neutral [think bonty hunters] and the bad [street racers]
• To each group will belong many factions, which change in their ship type choice, racing style etc.
• Each group will own one or several systems, where they’ll host group-specific races. Also, in these systems you’ll be able to hear group-specific music [rock/rap/classic^]

last thing magnet reported to me that he is still working on the “cars”

Hehehe… sounds pretty fun. I might have to give it a go when it’s done.
