Anyone interested in a cross map rally or Cannonball run?

Hm, I might be but to be honest it would very much depend on the rules - such as what kind of ships could take part, the prizes involved, the amount and security of space travelled...
What did you have in mind? Or were you just sounding out the public with no concrete ideas in mind yet?

I'd be interested, but I'm also wondering the same.

Well I'm a huge fan of rally racing and The Cannonball Run was a fav movie when I was a kid. A Cannonball run I believe is just any class of ship but a proper rally should devided up based upon ship classes and skills. Perhaps we can start at some far part of the map and head to EVE gate as the finish line.
We'd have to stutter the starting times so we don't get hit with a Traffic advisory. Assuming that many people join in. Too i suppose some Pirate Corp would try and block but in great numbers there may be too many ships to deal with.

Make it tech 1 frig only, then actually hire a pirate corp to camp gates along the route. Make it more interesting, and no-one would lose much. Unless the racers decided to blob the pirates.

This would be interesting as well, doing it all in T1 Frigs but I know for certain some pirate Corp will try and disrupt everything. LOL, I can see a whole bunch of us at a gate to a .4 system going:
"Ok guys let's go."
"You First."
"No I insist after you."

You wouldn't need to hire a merc corp, any pirates that read this would be up for it.
I'm up for this Cannonball Run too :)

So how about making it from the farthest point from EVE gate to the EVE gate? Should it be all solo or should we have teams of lets say three representing a corp or somethin? How would we deal with Instas? Could we get someone from CCP to stagger the starts properly?

I don't see the # of ppl as a problem... a traffic advisory would be unlikely IMO. why not have everyone start at the same point at the same time?

Well, this depends on how many people you get to come to the race. If no huge numbers are involved you don't have to worry about this. If a lot of people show interest, though, you may want to consider doing some sort of preliminary event where the slowest could be eliminated and you could select only a given amount of racers for the big race itself.
Just a suggestion.

I think it's a great idea too. You could create 2 levels for the contest being one for frigates and one for cruisers. And in each one of them, to make things competitive you could create some sublevels related to the skills of the players. There could be also prizes for each category.
You can count on me for the race too!

Seems rateher interesting, so T1 Frigates, any ship loadout you wish as long as you can fit it on your frog? Or are there module restrictions?

I'd be rather interested in doing this some at some point, but would need to get any rules straightened out regarding any illegal mods to the ships.

Well I remember looking over the rules and classes for the Targa Newfoundland and there are a number of restrictions per class. For example you can have a classic auto in one class but a suped up classic auto would be another class. I think a staggared start would be best and give time to properly line ships up. I do not know how to deal with Instas though.
Other ideas for fun would be things like:
Find the most notorious player corp owned station and drop cargo cans of fertalizer or garbage on their doorstep. Gang that drops the most cr@p at the station's doorstep within a certain time period wins. I only wish I could figure out how to prove who's cans are what.
A race, no warping allowed, from gate to gate and back. We could even do it like a relay with cargo cans as batons.
Hmmm...what else...

The gate to gate idea may sound neat...but keep in mind that 1 AU = 150 million km, which at 10km/s takes just under six months. ;)

No Worping
how about seting up a cores with contanes @ 100km intervals. and make the corse like from 2000km and up....
worping
for a relay race make it belt to belt, but from the worp in point you have to fly atlest 100km to hand off the cans.
wuld neeed to class thes out to make it a bit more far like a MWD class and an AB class

Your right, a no warp gate to gate would take forever and be boring as hell. I suppose we could make our own markers. Again the only problem with a system to system race is Instas.

Not to my knowledge.
But I am happy to inform you, that we (myself and another pilot) are working on a framework to make these kind of rally's possible.
More news will follow ...

can you shoot at fellow rally drivers? you'd have to balance the ship for speed, attack and defence

You could try and deal with instas by including audit cans around stargates in the route. That way, you have an unknown point at each gate that is a target for the racers, so traditional instas would not help. Unfortunately, you would need a good number of people to deploy them rapidly enough that players could not make instas to those cans. It would also have the added benefit of making acceleration and maneuverability more important. |
