Ok, so here is the idea.
2 fleets (must have atleast 1 dred each) have to race from one planet to another staying in a custom dico field that is like a race track.(a big oval?)
rules.
ships are may shoot the enemy!
Only dreds may score at the finish!
out of dico = disqualified.
strictly NO outside interferance.
only STOCK ships. aka, no modded drives or anything.
NO supping UNLESS its a sups only race.
i reckon the race should be 3K to give people a chance to blow stuff up.
please C&C!
edit:
Removed the silly dred shooting rule.
Also adding in extra idea, for other races maybe it could be stations who score, scouts, etc
EDIT: added no sups rule(unless its a sup race)

Interesting idea, but what about low-point players like me who can't get dreads? Could there be a scout race?

Creating an oval would be a bit harder to implement than just having a ginormouse dictor field, or running a background script in a event specific server that deletes all jumpdrives upon start of the race.

this could have merit, im all for it, limit the ships, like 1 dread, 2 cruisers, a scout, 2 frigs and no supply ships per side, dunno, just tossing out some ideas that we could use

Dreds may not shoot unless shot at, and then only at the person who shot them.

so players can only shoot if shot at by another player who can also only shoot if shot at. if i've read this right then there wont be much shooting going on lol

This passage stands out as particularly interesting. If I am reading it correctly, since you may not shoot unless shot at, and you cant shoot anyone but the guy that shot you....you cant shoot anybody ever....and therefore its just a race...? Ouch. You hurted my imagination!!!!1111

ok, lets clear this UP.
ALL ship types are allowed except stations.
ALL ship types EXCEPT dreds may fire at will. dreds may ONLY return fire.

Great idea.
Cruiser sits next to friendly dread.
Opens fire at enemy dread.
Waits for enemy dread to return fire.
When enemy dread returns fire, cruiser pops under friendly dread or behind him, let enemy dread fire hits friendly dread.
Entire fleet including dread hits back at enemy dread.

Nice idea.
note: with the return fire thing, its only the ship that got hit who can return fire, NOT the entire fleet.

Tracking whether or not a dreadnought would have been fired on before firing would be a fairly difficult job for an event leader, perhaps there is another way?

other easy exploit.
one friendly fires something at you. (nothing fatal) you are shot upon so you may return fire. if that friendly after that hides under a enemy dread. wel that aint your porblem you may shoot that friendly. that the enemy dread happens to be in the way well tought luck for him. and then after the enemy dreads start shooting bullets some of them are going to hit the friendly under him thus allowing it to fire back at said enemy.

since smaller ships would of course have a major speed advantage would there be different heats for different ship classes, or...?

Nicely worded, confusing at first with no sleep but eventual the mind kicked into gear after a drink of cola

Why not just let anyone shoot at anyone with no restrictions? The last thing the racing dread will want to do is start maneuvering to engage in battle if it can help it as that would entail being at less than max speed in the straightest possible line between two points; the start and the finish.

Nice Idea. I got an Idea aswell
The rules on the shooting. Just make it a Battle Royal Race. Firing IS allowed. Supping is NOT allowed. If Dread is destroyed then you are disqualified.
And you should have different heats. Like 1 for scouts then frigs then suppies then Dessis then Cruisers then Dreads.
Then the winners of those hits face of. The top 4 Have a Fatal 4 Way in the arena. The person to destroy the FIRST ship wins the little battle. 'Tis much better Idea.
