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:

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:

It was my intent to put something together for Nicaragua with my Team Cocibolca suggestion.
However, work owns my soul and I rarely have time to draw anything up.
But, when I get the chance, I'll get on re-designing a ship for that team... although that's just fan-fiction...
Haha, badassitude. i like that. ;)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.
