When I was originally writing the copy for Pulse & HD, Pulse was the FX400 League and HD was the FX450. Then I discovered that HD would contain more Pure tracks than Pulse tracks, so it seemed daft to distance it so far from the FX300.

So what we have is mostly FX300 League tracks, but using the rules of the FX400 league... FX350 seemed like a safe choice. The FX350 would be a sort of bridge between the FX300 and the FX400, where pilots could make the transition from the traditional tracks found on Makana to those MagLock technology on the FX400 League circuits.

No, it's not perfect, but I figured it was the neatest way to fit it into the structure of the league. It actually has no reflection on the timeline - it's not as if the FX300 League downed tools the moment the FX400 began - racing takes place concurrently in each league, although the elite pilots would naturally end up competing in the global, FX400 League.

I did intend to declare the FX400 an "open" league, whereby independant teams could lease a ship from one of the AG Racing teams and run it under their own colours (similar to how rallying. This was alluding to the ship skin editor and explained away why you'd see an AG Systems running with a different skin. However, when we had to cut the word count for the official website I just left that out. It felt clumsy to explain - it could be I'm just not that good a writer.
