Anyway, what about an Irish team?
As much as I liked Katmoda 12 the track was not very realistic. How should air brakes (or a flamer) work when there's no air/atmosphere?
Same goes for a track on the Mars; I know there actually is an atmosphere, but it's not the same we've here on the earth, so airbrakes would probably react a different way.
It would be more realistic if the tracks set on Mars or the Moon took place within glass cylinders like in the underwater parts of Mandrashee and Vineta K, methinks.
Anyway, an off-world team could also be realistic. Since Mars and the Moon have presumably been colonised (to prevent Earth from being over-run by people), the citizens of those places could well have had their own teams in development.
If a race were done in a vacuum or a very low density atmosphere like that of Mars, then airbrakes would have to be replaced by active thrusters. The lack of air resistance would make acceleration from midspeed to highspeed very much quicker than on the Earth tracks, and the possible maximum speeds would be amazing.
Perhaps we can have side thrusters to act like airbrakes...I think I said before on either this thread or another thread on how off-Earth tracks would be the most grandiose and crazy challenges out there.
Why not have offworld teams and tracks? If NASA can do it now, imagine what could be done in a couple of hundred years. It isnt impossible.
Hopefully SL wont make an alien team because it would turn out like the medieval team - look completely out of place and cheapen the whole game.
hah! we could use the Mars without any problems of having a different atmosphere :)

the only question is, if the terraforming is already finsihed when the new season starts...
;)
It would make a funny running gag if the other teams tried to call the colonists out as aliens...
"SEE?! They can't make a speech when they're on the podium! THEY HAVE TO BE ALIENS!"
"Oh, will you just SHUT UP?!"
Now, I was a bit bored today so about an hour ago I decided to have a little go on Sketchup and here's what I made:
http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m...nthunbnail.jpg
I've wanted to see a solely British team for some time. Now, I know that Icarus was set up by a brit but apparently with international funding an'all it aparrently isn't properly british.
Now, it's called AGB - stands for AntiGravBritain. It uses red,blue & white because British Racing Green looked a bit boring. Looks like a fiesar but goes like an assagei. Tell me what you think please & post what you would like to see. :)
I can't see anything
(apologies in advance)
RR: OMG! You should see a doctor about that!
yep, the apologies were needed ;)
but I can't see anything useful on that link either, I just get an msn login page
also for use online, you should probably use jpg, png, or gif; rather than bmp
sorry :( I'll have to remember my photobucket account. I got a new computer and lost all the passwords for mostly everything and sorry its in bitmap aswell. Look back now and my stuff should work.
looking good!
hoping to see it soon :)
nice ship :+
also lol @ Task :D
Ireland has 4,2 million inhabitants... that would be equally awkward to "that Finnish team", especially considering some future superpowers don't even have their own team yet.Quote:

to compliment that post i made at the bottom of the page, id like to see all the teams ever in this game - a detailed wipeout history recap would be cool. Whether or not the hardware will be able to cope with that much data is another thing altogether - obviously not for this thread. :P
Don't know if anyone thought of it but... an Israeli team. What about that? Israel strikes me as a nation that would definitely want to leave its mark on a brand-new sport like a-g races.
Finnish team would actually be quite realistic, Finland is a racing country you know. We have top rally- and F1-drivers.
For Finn and all finnish AG-fans here: Xios International is going to make a glorious return in WipEout PS13!
Take a look at this early development screencap:

Oh goodie, more bleeding-edge ultra-aerodynamic its-like-a-potato beyond-your-imagination ship designs.

I particuarly like those button thingies on the hull; looks like they grant the ship secret powers or something.

KI-TAI
Name: The Nuo-Ki-Tai Commune
Country: Japan
Slogan: Ki-Tai loves you
Team colours: White, pastel red
"We are happy-- I mean, in a positive equilibrium to announce our official participation in next year's FX1200 League season.
Although the name 'Race Commission' bears an aura of negative energy and is numerologically equivalent to 666, we are nevertheless convinced that we will be able to show the world the spiritual and physical benefits of our teachings. Nuo-Ki-Tai is the largest Zen-pagan commune in this friendly world, housing over 12,000 brothers and sisters dancing together in perfect equality and free love, on a quest for spiritual balance.
The idea to expand our activities to include FX1200 race driving came from brother Aidan, who used to be an Overtel official in his previous life. But rest assured, he has suffered enough before his reincarnation and his heart now radiates pure light. A Native American thunderbird visited Aidan in a flower-induced dream and cleansed his soul as well as his heart, preparing him to face his destiny. The spirit of the thunderbird guided his hand, empowering him to design and build two race-spec anti-gravity craft in the span of less than two years.
Granted, we did finish our first qualification race in 11th and 12th place, but we are not in this for the money. Also, the track radiated bad energies that interrupted our concentration. Our suggestion to the owners is to dig up the track, rotate it by 55 degrees clockwise to align the main stretch with the ley nodes in the area, rebuild the ancient Druidic monument at the north hill and plant some poplar trees at the ramp to neutralise harmful cosmic rays.
Do not worry, brothers and sisters of the Anti-Gravity community. In name of Isis, Diana and Hestia, we come in peace"

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to INRA. My name is Dr. Anulpha, and I am the director of the Military Counterintelligence department. Sir, yes you with the blonde hair, please do not lean against the cerebral assimilator. Thank you.
You may have been told by certain anti-establishment outlets that INRA is reading your private communication and spying on your every move. Today, I shall attempt to debunk this myth and reveal the conspiracy responsible for this wilful attempt at fragmenting and misleading the people of this great and proud nation.
INRA is a subsidiary of the Core Information Agency, the eyes and ears of the United North American Nations. To express your love for this great nation, baseball caps with the CIA logo will be available at the exit gate for a price of 50 gaea.
As you are well aware, since you all passed the preliminary patriotism test, the UNAN is under attack from within by terrorists and other enemies of freedom attempting to sow the seeds of discontent and unrest and throw our proud nation into turmoil. This is why INRA is monitoring suspicious transmissions and movements to detect patterns indicative of potential terror activity.
We are not allowed to reveal the inner workings of our scanning procedures, but you can find a list of terror suspects apprehended by the CIA in your subconscious memory.
I am aware that many of you have come today in hopes of learning more about the recent outbreak of so-called UFO sightings. According to my statistics, 49 out of 122 journalists present at this press conference have consciously thought about so-called UFOs for 10 to 20 seconds during the past two hours, and 8 of you for 20 seconds or more. Unfortunately, we cannot reveal the names of the subjects. INRA is committed to your privacy.
INRA can neither confirm nor deny any future involvement with the FX1200 Anti-Gravity Racing League, nor the application of experimental cloaking technology in same League, nor any possible relation to the so-called UFO sightings, although we are allowed to reveal that we will be competing in the Vector, Venom, Flash and Phantom Class. Any information about our potential participation in the Rapier Class is currently classified, and anyone found in possession of such information will be subject to remotely triggered microwave combustion.
Thank you for your attention"
Weapon: Cloner

Ah. Thank you, Dave. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen... I'm not implying that you are all ladies, as in female lords, but, anyway, welcome at this press conference organised today by the Ixo Science Consortium, where I work. My name is Alfred Breakwater, by the way, and I'm a quantum engineer at this company.

Ahh, she's a beauty.
Where was I? Oh, right, anti-gravity racing. Although many consider our recent involvement in mass market entertainment to be somewhat below our professional status, we are expecting a major influx in resources over the next five years from advertising revenue, which the Consortium will put towards the realisation of the world's highest definition VLT array, which may reveal new insights in the domains of quantum necrosis research and existential exobiology. Even if it does not, we are expecting a surge of spin-off consumer products, which should generate enough revenue to pay off the debt Ixo has incurred during the death ray scandal, as you can see on this slid--" <clatter> <crash>

The latest and greatest achievements enabled by Phoebus include Toe-Protekt teleporting hammers, Magnet On A Stick motorcycle performance boosters, airbag suits for skydivers, and negative energy lightbulbs that quickly and easily convert light into electricity.
Our latest project is a revolutionary new high-performance anti-gravity craft, powered by the gravitic force of a black hole. The craft features an indestructible monofilament tether of cosmic length, with a heavy weight on the end. This weight is lowered into a black hole by a space drone, pulling the craft along the track at high speed. Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing some technical difficulties with this project, so we may install an ordinary ion plasma drive until we get it to work according to our high standards.

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Armada Microsystems, Earth's leading developer of tactical and strategical intelligent weapons, or as we prefer to call them, 'alternative domestic or international diplomacy infrastructure', abbreviated to ADIDI. Any journalists in this auditorium are asked to use this term when referring to weapons designed or produced at Armada Microsystems.
The first subject we will tackle at this press conference is our recent involvement with the FX1200 Anti-Gravity league. Most of you may not be aware that Armada Microsystems is the official supplier of race-specification ADIDI solutions since 2402. Our participation as a competitor is only a natural evolution. Although we will continue to supply the Race Commission with our products, we can assure you that both departments within our company are entirely separate entities. You will be able to verify the strength of the titanite firewall separating the two departments in this building later.
Our contribution to the FX1200 League will consist of two Self-Contained High-Performance Human-Controlled Linear Displacement Levitation Transports For Competitive Environments, or SCHPHCLDLTFCEs, otherwise known as 'race craft', although we would prefer it if you use the abbreviation instead.
Our goal is to exceed the baseline success requirements in this closed enviroment by the biggest average positive margin and use our ADIDI to negatively impact the dynamic entropy level of the space-time surrounding the other core entities on the layered high-speed transportation surface loop and make them undergo fundamental structural decomposition in order to reduce or reverse their progression on the ranked status tables, all supplied by Armada Microsystems. In other words, we are going to win races and destroy the competition. Any questions?"

"Beep-- beep-- beep-- <dum-dee-duummmm!>
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 10 o'clock news on GTV1. This morning, Gabriel Communications bought out Qirex RD in a move that sent shockwaves through the telecast market. The corporation, worth 500 quadrillion gaea, gobbles up its biggest competitor, increasing its international market share from 21 percent to a near monopoly of 98 percent.
Some analysts have voiced concerns over the merger, citing outdated monopoly law. GTV1 takes a fair and balanced look at the economic and political consequences. Rainier, what's your take on the situation?
'I have to say, this is a good thing for both the telecom industry and society as a whole. The merger emphasises the trend towards a new era of monopoly deregulation and freedom, raising profits for the world's Fortress 500 corporations and thereby eliminating poverty and other traces of socialism. Make no mistake, though, the communist undercurrent in society will not be swayed by just a couple of mergers - we're looking at the big stuff here, like Katmoda and Datacast, Sol Aerospace and Skyhook Insurance, and so on'
Thank you, sir. This was Dr. Rainier, competition law specialist for the UNAN government. Another critique that has been brought up by dissidents is that the merger would result in the loss of millions of jobs in most Northern countries and prevent new telecom operators from entering the market. Sir Ryca-Faller, venture capitalist:
'I understand people's concerns, but they have to look at it from a rational point of view. A small local operator, like Bertelsmann or NBC, creates maybe a thousand jobs, maybe two thousand. About twenty million, that's a two followed by seven zeroes, people worked at Qirex RD and thirty million at Gabriel. But Gabriel-Qirex will employ an estimated amount of no less than thirty-four million, more than Gabriel, much more than Qirex. Moreover, the Qirex anti-gravity racing team will be rebranded with the Gabriel identity, which will require at least two graphical artists and four managers to execute the switch, jobs that did not exist before. As you see, the merger will actually create more jobs'
Thanks for the interview, and on to the moment you've all been waiting for: an extra-long, twenty minute commercial break, brought to you by Gabriel Television 1. Stay tuned for more criminal acts in Birthright, at ten-thirty on GTV5. Witness the prosecution eat Sir Bowtie alive in this unrated edition of the controversial crime soap.

I'm sure they'll see the benefits of bringing a shield that shuts down any opponent that comes too close, and all they have to do in return is arrange with the Commission to move the stands a little farther away from the track.

"Greetings, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to oblivion. You can take off your blindfolds now. My name is Darth Maul, but you can call me Darth. My apologies for not providing you with my real name, but security is of the utmost importance in this domain.
AIWASS, or Advanced Intelligent Warfare And Security Systems, is a private defence contractor specialising in psychological warfare, the Zen art of making an enemy defeat themselves without any bloodshed. The founder of psychological warfare was the ancient strategist Sun Tzu, who routed the Roman legions by successfully employing bamboo warplanes on the battlefield. Among the great world leaders known to have employed psychological warfare tactics were President Chiron, who successfully feigned mental retardation to draw support for his unpopular social reforms, and the late Hesselmann, Dictator of the Sixth Empire.
Last year, AIWASS officially reported a 20 trillion gaea profit, thanks to a generous donation by the International Charity Foundation. In reality, the company is teetering on the verge of bankruptcy, due to its involvement in the FX1200 Racing League. Considering the unfortunate current state of world peace, the FX1200 League is the only way for AIWASS to field test new developments and theories. But taking into account the importance of psychological factors in the wars of the future, we--"
"And why would our domain be any less valuable than subatomic weapons research, sir?"
"Not lethal enough? I tend to disagree. So where was I... right, anti-gravity racing. Our approach to the FX1200 League is one of subterfuge and fear. Granted, we met with little success until we pulled the Amphibious Armour Department off the project and hired some skilled, and admittedly quite expensive, experts from more established racing teams. Our sponsored team is now clawing its way to the top of the League, and just the sight of one of our ships on the rear-view monitor is enough to make any competitor panic. In the meantime, Intrasat-5 monitors ship movements and transmits the raw data to us, where we disassemble the patterns to find signs of uncertainty and doubt in the opposing pi--"

Weapon: Disintegrator
"Okay, it's not exactly long ranged, but it pierces any shield in seconds. It establishes a potential difference between the two front pods of the ship, causing a high-voltage arc that latches on to any conductive surface placed directly in front of the weapon. That means opponents. As an added bonus, it looks and sounds powerful and deadly, adding the element of terror and persuading the opposing pilot to stay out of range at all costs. In other words, he or she will... uh... try and build up a bigger lead... ehm... yeah... I guess we're redesigning the weapon next season after all"
