or better, a ModNation and WipEout crossover, in which you create your ships, your racers and your own racetracks! wouldn't that be so amazing? :D

That would be pretty awesome but wouldn't it take someone a little more time than just slapping on some cool looking trees and squeezing in some high ramps to create a real and official looking WipEout circuit? I think this would go more with the PSVita, since it would be way more convenient with the touch screen and all.
Anyway, I think a team from India, Italy, Brazil or New Zealand would be cool. A ship with a unique name, that would stand out more when compared with the other default teams. Maybe a ship called Xenade or something with the main color of black. I can't think of a good enough theme but I'm sure I can come up with something later.
Piranha (aka Pir-hana) is from Brazil. Similarly, Mirage is Arabian.
Oh lol, okay. Guess that only leaves NZ and India. I think if we had an Indian and an Arabian team it would be kind of like AG Systems and EG-X, ( or Japan and China).
Maybe for NZ - use a kiwi (bird not fruit) in the logo?
Could happen - From what I remember, Icaras traditionally have little money, whereas Virgin obviously have loads. Perhaps we could develop the idea? I don't know how good I am at writing fiction for the game, as I've never tried, so I might see if I can come up with something...
Oh GOD if Studio Liverpool was still open and some crazy anime fans want to make Itasha AG racing ships for Wipeout HD Fury as an add on DLC, I know one anime series might pop out more than the others.

in reply to the three new team post you made
Ok this is a more fun and light-hearted thread. Me and mannemily (my protege and padowan for those who don't know ^_^) were having a discussion the other day about what we would want in a unique ship, with a super ability or super-weapon like they used to have in Fusion. A few examples we came up with:
Easy Roller ->
100 speed, 85 thrust, 50 shields, 85 handling. This ship would not have any weapons capabilities (like the old Pirhana for those that played 2097). Instead, every time you ran over a speed pad, it would fill up a boost bar, and when the bar is full you get a turbo to use. For this ship, barrel rolls don't cost any energy, and you are immune to weapons fire if you are in the air. Perfect laps in this ship replenish 20 ship energy.
Decimator ->
70 speed, 70 thrust, 100 shields, 70 handling. This ship's barrel rolls cost 33 ship energy. BUT each time you do any weapons damage, you get a slight speed boost (equivalent to landing a roll) and recover some shield strength equal to half the damage dealt to another ship. For each elimination, this ship gets full ship strength and a turbo.
Zoner Master ->
NULL speed, NULL thrust, 100 shields, 100 handling. This ship would operate like a zone ship only in a single race. If the race was on venom for example, you start at venom speed, and gradually gain speed as you would with zone. Zoner Master ships have no weapon pickups. But each time you hit any pad, it fills up you boost gauge similar to a zone battle. So you can either boost, or absorb like in zone battle mode. If you boost, the Zoner Master does leave behind a barrier, which does similar damage to a bomb. If destroyed, you lose 5 zones, and start with 50% ship energy. Falling off the track results in a 1 zone penalty.
Post your ships here! ^_^
I've been thinking of my ship for a while, quite unique in my opinion ;)
Wyvern
speed - 95
Handling - 95
thrust - 85
Shield - 85
A bit of history behind it, this ship comes from my unique team Wyvern Research. The craft itself is unique as its actually a F-14D super tomcat salvaged from a aircraft graveyard but has been heavily modified to meet the roles of a AG racer. The teams director owns a antique aircraft collection and decided to enter his tomcat into the team. The aerodynamic design provides a craft with high agility with minimal air resistance which improves the speed. And by teaming up with Harimau, the biofuel provides a significant power increase as well as thrust without compromising other aspects of the craft.
The craft also takes advantage of its own unique Hyper thrust system. Instead of barrel rolls, This craft can instantly convert 15 shield energy into a speed boost at any time.
The director wants to bring back the former glory of military jet fighters so this is why he chose to modify his F-14D. However to counter the awesome stats this ship has very weak weapon technology for there isn't enough space for modern weapon systems. So it will struggle to kill in eliminator events, Triakis is therefore the teams major rival.
The AG F3600_v1.0 was a prototype craft created by my fictional sub-company Jennter AG Racing. Originally it was planned to start in the 2052 season, but Jennter had to take a break :P.
This ship has no special abilities, to fit in the league regelment.
Stats:
Speed: 5/6
Trust: 3/6
Weight: 3/6
Handling: 2/6
It has outside placed engine-turbines, like the FEISAR and due to an an accident of a test pilot it's the only craft of this era with a rollcage.

Developed in a secret lab in Australia, the Angelus Project is designed to be as light and nimble as possible, opting to challenge their opponents through pure speed and handling, as opposed to using violent means. Many pilots can use it and come in a decent place, but it takes true skill to make the best of it's power and handling. The advanced boost module allows for a higher speed output and amount of time the boost is in effect when a successful barrel roll is performed, however it costs 30% Energy.
To save weight, the Angelus cannot use most weapons, a choice encouraged by the manufacturer's main ideals of using speed and handling as opposed to violence. However, that does not mean the craft is completely defenseless. It's main form of offense is an AG Race Commission-approved laser weapon that works similar to the Cannon, however, it is slightly more powerful and contains 50 rounds, rather than the cannon's 30. The weapons system does contain a secret, however. By using a weight saving exploit in the system itself, the weapons system is strong enough to use the Plasma, though it's less likely to be picked up, most of the time the craft will pick up it's Laser Cannon instead.
For it's defense, the Angelus is just as restricted as it's offensive capabilities. Because the device is too heavy, and as such would compromise the weight and handling, the Angelus cannot use the Bomb, however it can use the Mines. The other only defense weapons it can use are the Turbo and the Shield. Additionally, Team Angelus obtained shielding technology from fellow Australian team Triakis, and as such the Angelus has a moderately strong shielding system that weighs as little as possible.
The Angelus' body is sleek and extremely aerodynamic, it has one of the smallest heights from base to peak, yet it can seat its pilot in considerable comfort. Even at night, the Angelus is an extremely beautiful craft, sporting azure neon lights around the craft. Upon unveiling the craft to the public, critics have claimed that the body of the Angelus is one of the best in the world, and combined with its equipment, could be considerable competition to even the veterans of the AG League, such as FEISAR and AG Systems.
Following the unveiling of Crinale Technologies, Inc. and their ideals of domination via violent means, Team Angelus were contacted by Icelandic team Wyvern Aeronautical Research, who were calling for a trading deal between the two teams against Crinale. Angelus promptly accepted the alliance and the two teams, along with any other team who follow the Belmondo ideal are working to bring Team Crinale down.
I just thought of a new one :D the folks at my Team of Wyvern Research have created what they call the "Space Age Fighter" in their new project, codename : TRINITY
XAF-72 Wyvern
Speed - 150%
Handling - 95%
Thrust - 90%
Shield - 90%
Fire power - 20%
Once again my teams Director has modified another F-14D but its changed so much that it only bares slight resemblance to a Tomcat. In the hopes of developing a aircraft capable of supersonic space flight, the XAF 72 has been heavily modified to suit its role as a air superiority fighter in space combat. In order to test the capabilities of the new prototype, the director entered the craft into the new league of AG Racing.
By secretly trading with Harimau, Piranha, Goteki 45, Feisar and Triakis. Wyvern research combined all the technologies together to create a monstrous craft that can be compared to Piranhas F5000 craft, albeit not as perfected in all areas. But combining Harimaus biofuel with piranhas engines with the aerodynamic design. The output is so great that it exceeds all limitations of the engine block. And with the technology acquired from the other teams, the craft excels in all other areas.
However due to design limitations of the F-14D Tomcat chassis, this monstrous speed can only be gained by using the sweep wing capabilities of the craft. With the wings swept outwards, the speed output can only reach 100%. But sweeping the wings inwards allows for a more aerodynamic design increasing to the 150% output. In this "speed mode" the Wyvern will out run all other craft in the league. Nothing can keep up with it, not even Icaras or Piranha!
HOWEVER! there is a design flaw, the rear ailerons serve as the airbrakes of the craft. Once the wings sweep in, the ailerons cannot move. This means once in "speed mode" the craft is not capable of tight turns and therefore to handle sharp corners at the high speed, the wings will have to be swept out to drop the speed and activate the airbrakes so the Wyvern can turn sharp again. Also like its predecessor the weapon technology on this craft is very poor so will not be scoring Eliminations anytime soon.
If the craft proves its capabilities in the new league however, then space age combat will be born.
there's a thread like this one already in existence, and it went viral some years ago when members here were doing what you guys are.
maybe the mods can merge these two thread together hopefully?
Anyway, here's the thread: http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/sho...w-WipEout-team
Some of those entries were really good, and some members were 3D modelling the ships peeps here were imagining. Pretty cool thread.
We should also start a threat about teams (like my Jennter, or Snakes Wyvern team).
It would be against a wipers nature if there isn't already a threat like this.;)
Totally agree Jonny, a proper thread to describe the background history to are teams :)
Just make sure there are no similar threads before making a new one, But I have my teams entire history thought out here ;)
truth be told, it'll probably only get merged with this thread.
I wonder if you are aware of this group: http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/group.php?groupid=36
This is where it was at back in the day... revive it. I'll jump in where I can :)
We need a group for this: "Anti-Gravity Racing Team owners/presidents/supreme soviets/whatevers...
Or we use Wikia:"WipEout Fanfiction Central" would nail it (This idea was just influenced by the wikia-wiki "The Sims Faniction")
I really dont think anyone outside of this community gives a damn to be honest :D keep it local, by that i mean - use the resousrces already provided above. it's simple, and keeps the tradition going.
Ok pls create a topic for this here, it's nearly 4AM in Germany so I'm outta business :D
I've decided to create a new team, creating a new mini fanfic and expanding on it from the original team, Angelus.

History:
While the Crinale looks like an alternate skin of the Angelus, that's as far as the similarities get. Originally unveilled as just that, an Angelus alt skin, the Team leader spoke out and said that the so called "Devil" skin was not planned by, or even known to him, and thus was not an official Angelus craft. An investigation showed that to be true, the Crinale was created by a group of 5-10 Angelus employees that did not agree with the ideals of Angelus itself or even the original ideals of Pierre Belmondo.
After the investigation went public, the group suddenly disappeared, leaving Australia for an unknown location. Undercover Interpol agents found three people resembling those from the group entering a derelict building in Russia. It was discovered that the reason Interpol reported this was not just because of the resemblance of the people to the Devil group, but because the particular building the reported people entered was one that was used by Tigron, one of the teams involved with the Overtel Corporation during the F9000 League. It was then discovered that a few assumed destroyed computers were stolen and, depending on how destroyed the computers were, and the skill of the group, they could potentially access blueprints of Tigron's F9000 craft, the BULL-666.
Soon after, the group revealed themselves as Crinale Technologies, Inc., and were no longer a group, but a whole corporation, designed for victory via destruction, and were quoted as saying: "We will prove that speed is not everything. We will exterminate all who get in our way, ESPECIALLY Angelus! We will prove to you, Angelus, that speed is not everything. We will destroy you. We will ANNIHILATE YOU! YOU! ARE! NOTHING! Belmondo is dead! His ideals are ancient and outdated, so get with the times. We are Crinale. We are ultimate." Upon being asked about Crinale's direct taunts, Angelus' team leader reportedly shook his head, smiled and simply said: "All I have to say is this: Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. The F9000 and its aftermath were a dark age in the AG League, we do not need another."
Craft Specifications:
The Crinale F0-RG7, while vastly different to the Angelus Project, uses most components from its originator, although they have been modified to Crinale's own specifications. The main shape of the sleek, aerodynamic body is retained, although it has been strengthened for combat-oriented use, and as such it has a more aggressive look, with some elements added from the Tigron BULL-666 F9000 blueprints. The paintjob is no longer white and blue, but now black and yellow, and the once azure night running neons now are deep yellow, almost orange. The alternate skin is a dark matte grey, almost black, with purple lights and neons.
The engine and braking system are virtually untouched, with some slight changes to make the craft more stable to the changes made to the rest of the craft. Because the team are more focused on combat rather than speed, the boost module is removed from the Crinale, and the weapons system is the exact same make and model used on the Tigron, with some modificatons and alterations for stable use on the craft. The shield system used is still the one manufactured by Triakis, but is now modified to give the highest protection it can, regardless of loss to handling, though the main construction of the original handling-centric craft cause only a moderate loss to handling.
Dang, Crinale are very violent in their motives 0.0 But that mini fan fic was AWESOME!! I loved it. Nice work Ace :clap
I'm gonna have to rethink my teams history to compete with that :P
It would seem my team Wyvern Research are in for a nasty new rival, my team is based on the motives of Van-Uber and Belmondo. Ace are teams are in for some competition ;)
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! :D Angelus do follow the Belmondo idea, but, as you no doubt know, Crinale are the complete opposite, and since they were once affiliated with Angelus, the two do have a rivalry with each other.
Also, this may or may not be based on the two rival cars from the Ridge Racer series...*ahem*They are.
Here it is the history of my team :D
Wyvern Aeronautical Research (more commonly know as Wyvern)
Country of origin: Iceland
Director of operations: David Mendel
Lead Pilot: Falon Dare
Wyvern Aeronautical Research was founded in 2209 by David Mendel, a former engineer of Feisar's development team. At a young age David followed closely the events of the F9000. His father was a AG racer for Feisar but had little limelight during the league so not many knew about him, unfortunately for David his father was involved in the Temtesh Bay disaster and was killed in the destruction. Outraged by the increasing violence in the sport David vowed to the ideals of Pierre Belmondo and Van-uber to bring back the purity of racing and to destroy any team wishing to re-establish the ideals of Overtel and Tigron.
After the funeral of his father, David inherited his fathers collection of antique military jet fighters and warbirds of 20th and 21st century. David always had a soft spot in his heart for such aircraft and organised numerous memorial events to bring back the limelight on such warbirds. David saw the collection as a chance to create a new team and enter AG racing. By discussing his plans and ideals with teams such as Auricom and the former Van-uber teams, David manage to secure a financial backing to finally create his new team. Keeping the team native to his home country of Iceland he decided to also prove the little Island was just as advanced as todays super powers.
With the FX-350 Wyvern craft proving that although the old aircraft maybe seem outdated, they are by far some of the best racing machines ever seen. Wyvern have won the respect of many teams such as Auricom and AG Systems not only for the teams ideals but their approach to reviving such war birds.
Now with Project Trinity XAF-72 Wyvern now being tested to bring forth Space Age aircraft, Wyvern have come a long way.
But now the emergence of the new team Crinale Technologies Inc. Wyvern now see themselves under threat from the corrupt team, since David opts for poor weapon technology for more powerful speed and thrust, Wyvern are threatened by the re-emergence of violent tactics.
Nevertheless, with the support of their fans and other teams Wyvern will see that Crinale will meet their demise. Wyvern are now also beginning a trading deal with Team Angelus and wish to financially support each other for the development of new AG technology to crush the opposition and support Wyverns project Trinity to bring forth space age aircraft.
With all this good ideas and creativity I want a roleplay (yes I'm already writing plans :D)
However, my team:
Jennter Racing Crafts/Anti-Gravity Racing Team
Former Names:
- Jennter Racing Crafts (2039-2050)
- Anti-Gravity Racing Team
- Jennter Anti-Gravity Racing Team (scince 2053)
Country of Origin: Germany
Established: 2038-2050
re-established: 2053
Director (2214): Jana Bovier
Heading Designer: Lomaz Serra
History
Early Years (2038-2046)
The Racing Devision of Jennter Enterprises was already formed in 2038, the first season of underground Anti-Gravity Racing (AGR) but firstly established in 2039. This was done to collect practise and expeariance with FEAGR(Federal European Anti-Gravity Research). Many of the Jennter employees came from FEAGR and even Jonny Bovier, the teams Director was a FEAGR pilot that year (with 40!) together with Pierre Belmondo and John Dekka, befor FEAGR splitted up in FEISAR and AG Systems.
In 2039 Jennter entered the competition with their Director #15 Jonny Bovier and #3 Kristian Vilkönen, who dropped out of FEAGR because of his feud with one of their pilots.
2040 Jennter was doing well while testing with a very slim model for the race on the Indianapolis Oval.
The pilot staring was changed for 2041. Marko Vettel(#05), the grandson of the Formula One driver Sebastian Vettel joined Jennter, forming a 3-pilot team. He came from the AG division of Red Bull Racing.
2042 the team kicked out Vilkönen who was outperformed by Vettel (Vice-Champion), going back to the 2-pilot system.
Jennter won the pilots championship with Vettel, Bovier ended up on the 8th place (of 25 contender). "I'm doing this just for fun" he said as a reaction.
The 2043 season was overshadowed by a heavy accident during the Street Race of Denver which was held on public roads with traffic. However, surprisingly Bovier won his single race at the Nürburgring, that was rebuild just for this event.
2044 saw major changes of the team.
For this season a semi-double hull ship was used and Jonny Bovier retired from racing. Anastasia Cherovoski (#4) replaced him.
The team was doing well again scince 2042 winning the pilots championship with Marko Vettel and the vice-championship with Cherovoski, to round it up they also won the constructor championship. Fans are moaning:"Again a Vettel is making the sport boring."
After the formation of the Anti-Gravity Racing Comittee in 2044 that was heavily supported by Pierre Belmondo, FEISAR and the new independent AG Systems, Jennter announced that 2045 will be the last season.
Unfortunately again a heavy accident happened, this time on a closed racetrack.
F3600 (2053-2084)
Jennter didn't participated in the AGRC to reestablish the team and construct a craft on F3600 niveau.
In 2053 Jennter entered the F3600 with #69 Jacque Loffier and #100 Iko Isoke from the disolved Suzuki team.
Jennter can't stand a chance agaist stong pilots and teams like Arial Tetsuo with her fast and strong Auricom (3-in-a-row Champion from 2053-2055) and Kel Solaar with the Overtel satelite Qirex (won 10 championships from 2058-2071).
Anyway, with the money earned by all the sub-companys of Jennter Enterprises the team could kept alive and was always referred to be the favourited by Jonny Bovier.
After the end of the F3600 in 2084 Jonny Bovier pretented his death to get some rest from the public and also for a transhumanistic project, his son Jonathan Bovier (the oldest with 54 years) took the control over the whole enterprise.
F5000 (2085-2095; 2099-2115)
Jennter appeared from 2085-2095 and 2099-2115 in the F5000 as a mid-field team.
The 2102 championship was won by #16 Zach Brian from Australia.
Nothing changed after the renaming of Jonny Bovier as the Director of the whole Jennter Enterprise.
F7200 (2118-2154)
After constructing the ultimate craft in 2117 to take part at the competition in 2118 Jennter won the title this year but was disqualified for a manipulated speed-pad control system.
After this they constructed a new craft that was again mid-field.
F9000 (2155-2159; 2161-2170)
The agressive style of the F9000 gave Jennter a big adventage scince the crafts designed by Jonny Bovier (who was still a brilliant mind with 157) were always full innovations.
For 2155 Jennter had the two pilots #102 Michael Hill (no relation to one of the three race drivers) and #22 Jackie Richards.
The 2156 and 2157 season was won by Hill and than Richards.
Jennter kept this formation until they got suspended after the 2059 season because of ignoring the comissions advises.
During their abstinence in 2160 many Teams began to improve their crafts and developed super weapons. This was a big disadventage for Jennter.
After 2161 their were mid-field again.
The super wepon was the "Protonisor", this weapon fired a salve of free protons into any material of an opponents craft causing some atoms to change their traits and voids the molecular stability of this craft. In 7 of 10 cases it eleminated the opponent.
World Economic Crisis after the Fall of the F9000
Jennter quickly quited from all high-cost activities, to save the enterprise.
"I got heathbleed when I confirmed the closure of the Jennter Anti-Gravity Racing Team, but it was necessary."
After 2177 the production of Anti-Gravity sport cars was restarted. Later Jennter Anti-Gravity Racing Team was reestablished.
FX400(scince 2209)
Finally in 2209 the newest craft of Jennter was finished and #9 Nico Bovier, the great-grandson of Jonny Bovier wanted to race for his family's enterprise.
After the death of Jonny Bovier in 2213 (aged 215 due to many transhumanistic operations) his great-great-great-granddaughter Jana Bovier (young age of 23) took the control, following the closure of some sub-companys like Jennter Weaponary she was asked what will happen to the AG racing team. "Of course I'll never do anything that would harm our all beloved racing team, I ain't a horrible person."
Craft Development
Jennter racing crafts were always an extreme of one specific area (eg speed or handling).
Jennter is a mid-field team that won some championships.
Trivia
- The President of Jennter Enterprises is also the Director of the Jennter Anti-Gravity Racing Team
- The next President is always the first born child of the former President who has a "J" at the beginning of tbe first name
- I'm sure "Jennter" has a deeper meaning in greek ;)
Last thing: Jennter is also a part of my (maybe) upcoming fanfiction series
BTW I wrote that stuff with my PS Vita, I'll attach a screenshot.
^ perhaps I will update my teams history to involve Angelus ;) honestly though I thought your fan fic was to awesome to not tie in my team with yours :D
Jonny please do a role play, I want to take part :D
-EDIT- I just realised that if you put my teams name "Wyvern Aeronautical Research" as a acronym it spells "WAR" lol how Ironic :P
-UPDATE- okay I added an alliance between Wyvern and Angelus for your liking Ace :)
Sweet! I edited my Angelus post, adding info about the alliance between Wyvern and Angelus.
Awesome! :D lucky for you Ace I draw fan art! I have a Feisar drawing on my profile and I already have ideas for drawings for my team ;)
If you ask me nicely I be happy to do some custom art for your teams as well :) same goes for you Jonny and Jennter
Sure! By all means, I would love to see what kind of image you have in mind for Angelus and Crinale. Actually, as of this post, I'm working on a logo for Angelus.
EDIT: I've finished the logo for Angelus!
Attachment 8685Attachment 8679
I could provide some basic ideas of ships and pilots and you could make it look pretty :D
A little gift to you guys for bringing this thread back to life (you dont have to use it, i just wanted to let you know that I approve of your ideas)
http://oi61.tinypic.com/2gw5mz9.jpg
Enjoy :)
0.0 I'm blown away! awesome Terra it beats the idea I had for my team :P
If you need any help with logo designs, let me know. I'm not the greatest at graphics etc but I will try to help where I can :)
I'm really pleased you liked the design. :)
I already finished the introduction post for a new roleplay, but stupidly I touched the "Reload Previous Page"-Button *Facepalm*
Oh No. That really sucks when it happens. Try again, but do it in MS Word or something first then just copy pasta it here. It's safer that way with longer posts :)
Aha! You're an artist then :) get to work buddy and design your ship. :)
Thanks for the nice words peeps. You're all too kind :+
