@ AGWolf: I consider insanity a fine flattery. (just ad-libbed that now. I'll be here all week! )
Also, that venue you're referring to, Katmoda 12, will conclude my series and is the only venue I have nothing up for yet. I plan to at least upload the first couple tracks during this week (just started a chemistry lab...did a lecture course from May until now).
@ Tomahawk: Yea, I don't fully upgrade because I like Piranha's red and yellow livery (My favorite two colors! That's what attracted me to 'em in the first WO game I played, Wip3out). This isn't particularly hard for me (even in modes with weapons) since I always leave the Brake Force as low as possible. I'm probably misunderstanding the mechanics, but I thought low brake force meant less speed lost during turns! XD
Some ships however, either IMO look better in monochrome/4th form (EG-r you devilish thing! Feisar's not bad either...Xios' feels more Star Wars-ish to me than anything else, but I prefer it greatly over the previous 3), or don't lose too much color (Tigron mainly). Just picked my upgrade level and pilot for preference and fun...so far only Cubiss Float 3 and Vohl 2 Forward have felt more like chores!
@ Smad: Thanks! Although Pulse is also fun, IMO I think 3 is *THE BEST*.
