CEN-R is actually Swiss/Russian since it was originally meant to be a futural concept of CERN. The "real" russian team is A.T.L.A.S and due to it's story and rough appearance, weapon-related stuff would work better for this team I think.
This being the missile manufacturer for one of the ships is totally cool with me. Let's wait for Xpands 2 cents since he has supplied some teams with individual missile manufacturers already [as seen in the prototype wallpapers on Facebook]. And yeah, I updated the strength of the magnetic field so ships passing by on Gamma speed can also "collect" magnets off the street ;) It also increased the "action radius" of the magnets.

Alright, A.T.L.A.S. is an awesome ship, I have nothing against supporting it. Good work on the magnets, it seemed on the demo that the magnets and tractortraps needed to have different strengths for each speed class, because it is almost impossible to detach magnets and it takes forever to break a t trap connection in Alpha class, but you usually make it by both without a problem in Gamma. Kinda nice though, sometimes I hate t traps, but then again it is so satisfying to hear that sound it makes behind you when someone flies over it right after you dropped it. Both ways, you gotta love it! :)
Edit: Also, I have some small updates on some of my previous sponsors:
Attachment 8123 Attachment 8124
I changed Prometheus from "Prometheus Anti-Gravity Research and Development" to "Prometheus Research & Development." It is still the same company idea, but the name is more concise and sounds better. I then updated the font on the Atauni logo to match the main icon better.

I'm only against using sponsors in the HUD since it's the same HUD for every ship (being a game related interface rather than a simulation of the actual HUD in the ship's cockpit).
I don't mind placing sponsors on the ships' paint scheme, but I've gotta try to place a few on the ships first before giving my final opinion on that. Most sponsors are way more likely to end up in the track's scenery rather than on the ships.

Alright, I see what you mean, and you do have a good point there. Either way, Tetragon is still a company that operates under other contracts independent of the league, so it could be on track scenery as well. However, I think each ship should have two or three main sponsors on it, kind of like the ones in WOHD (Ricochet, JAP, Netika, Sylva, etc.). Just my two cents though. :)
Edit: Just finished another sponsor with an interesting storyline connection. Support the Pacific Terraforming Project and Enjoy Utopia!
Attachment 8127Attachment 8128Attachment 8129
The Pacific Terraforming Project was approved by the UN in 2157 as an international proposition to form a large, man-made island in the Pacific Ocean that consisted of many different landforms, climates, and ecosystems. This island would be ruled by a committee elected by the UN to keep the peace and law in order. Convicts would not be granted access to the island, so essentially, it would be an escape from the normal ways of the world; the societies of the wicked. It was going to be Utopia.
The first two stages of island construction were passed by a majority vote of UN delegates, and with all participating countries funding the project equally, construction began in 2159, after a suitable location was identified. The committee took two years to do this, as it was difficult to find a spot that would not affect ocean currents and normal ecosystem life greatly with the overall size of the island. The work began, and it was slow progress, building up the giant island from the sea floor. Finally, though, in 2173, the work was complete, and a semi-flat large mass of earth now loomed out of the great ocean. Then, the second stage of the project was voted upon and passed, and by early 2185, all landforms on the island had been masterfully sculpted.
Now, the project faces it's third and final stage: the population of the island with life. Scientist and ecologists will have to balance ecosystems and weather patterns to create a self-sustaining environment for the people who will one day move to the island. This work will lay the foundation for the establishment of the first Utopian nation, but as budget pressures loom, supporters urge the public to voice their opinions, and to tell their UN delegates to vote yes on Stage 3 of the Pacific Terraforming Project. Advertisements in the support of the project have become commonplace, and now, with the start of the ARC-150 league, the project has found new sponsoring ground, and will continue to push their idea until it is passed, advertising in many places, with well-known billboard scatterings across many tracks in the new league.
If you didn't happen to catch on, this is a nod toward the man-made island of Makana, which hosted the FX300 league of WipEout Pure in 2197. But that's unofficial information. :) Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the idea and will consider helping advertise for the construction of this new Utopian island in the ARC-150 league.

Very nice work there. Both look cool :D
-
Thank you very much, Damon, both of those look fantastic, now the logo really will look complete. :)
Also a sidenote on the Pacific Terraforming Project, while it is a large-scale international effort, they want to advertise their support for it anywhere, which explains why they are interested in an amateur racing league. Also, many of the signs could just be the "Vote Yes" signs hanging from apartment balconies in the city circuits and stuff like that, adding in some population support as well.

Hey SSGX Team,do you just search for some tracks?
I like to draw some track layouts,I could do that all night,may you could have a look on one of my plans?
Would be cool that these tousands sheets won´t be useless.:)

Whew, this is better! (If you didn't read the other thread I originally posted this in the official art thread, I was tired, lol :P) Big announcement here, the official Monsoon logos by PogoBox are done, and boy do they look stunning! All sorts of variations to the color scheme are provided, so you can play around with them all. Enjoy the eye-candy! :D

Edit: Also wondering what the dimensions are on the 'Wide' and 'Tall' versions of these logos. If you tell me then I can make many of my billboards to size so there would be less work for you guys if you decide to use them. :)

@Jonny well the official tracks are all there already so we actually don't need any new track layouts any more. But you can post some of your designs anyways. Since we don't know yet if and how we are going to implememt a Zone-alike mode and if we need a set of extra tracks for it or not...
