Kazuo Ishiguro	Posted - 2007.06.13 20:34:00 - [1] Free bump from a season 2 enthusiast Although I will be missing the first race (and doubtless many others as well if last season was anything to go by), I'll be competing this season. I'm not sure what ship class I'll go for, though; I might try all of them just to see what they're like... ------ Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant tanking
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.06.17 10:16:00 - [2] That area is quite frequently camped- I used to do research in Heydieles (before Zzz was around, of course). Perhaps we'll see more people entering in assault frigates next time? ------ Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant tanking
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.06.21 15:39:00 - [3] Just thought I'd better mention this here: I will be entering this season's races on behalf of my corp, House of Marbles. ------ Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant tanking
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.07.01 09:53:00 - [4] Edited by: Kazuo Ishiguro on 01/07/2007 09:52:05 Free Race Insurance In case anyone is thinking of entering but isn't sure that they can spare the isk, I'm underwriting losses of T1 ships for the rest of this season's races. Once Gyra Rho has confirmed the loss, I will pay victims 2m isk towards fitting a new ship, up to a limit of one payout per competitor per race. Payouts made so far: Race 2: Placid Vigil - Zedah Zoid - 2m Tristan x2 - Sera Mujarkian - 2m ------ Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant tanking
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.07.03 21:11:00 - [5] I'm pleased to see that the races are receiving more publicity, even if it proves to be something of a drain on my wallet. I wasn't aware that anyone had hitherto suggested an 'industrials' category, but now that I've got the idea into my head, I quite like the sound of it. Racing with industrial ships would present considerable challenges to even the most seasoned among us. Regarding the diversification of ship classes, I've outlined a few ideas on the ISGC's own discussion board. ------ Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant tanking
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.07.04 13:12:00 - [6] I've put together an idea for a fairly simple points handicap that would let different classes of ship compete with one another, perhaps in some future season. It still needs a bit of tweaking, but I think it could be made to work. Any thoughts? ------ Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant tanking
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.07.21 23:09:00 - [7] I may not be able to attend the next race, but rest assured: if anyone loses a tech 1 ship, I will reimburse the loss within a few days. ------ Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant tanking
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.07.27 13:04:00 - [8] Why didn't I think of that? Still, there are a couple of points that could be clarified: Is this a season prize or a single-race prize? By 'people', are you referring specifically to other racers? All being well, I shall be there in my destroyer. ------ Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant tanking
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.08.06 12:17:00 - [9] I still haven't achieved my goal of beating an interceptor in my destroyer, but it's only a matter of time, as Jikomanzoku will attest We were neck and neck for about 15 minutes, until I fumbled a bookmark at waypoint 13 and had to warp back for it. We also saw Metrius from time to time, before the latter pulled away over the last few jumps. I still feel that the destroyer class is not being tapped to its full potential, so I'm putting up a Navy Issue Caracal for the pilot who places 1st in the destroyer league at the end of the current season. Finally, I wish Kay a speedy recovery from her current illness. ------ Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant tanking
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.08.23 18:20:00 - [10] Quote: With Dragonstar in first place in the interceptor class, are you planning to shift your strategy again or focus on a different class? frowns a bit I can not comment on that. I wouldn't want to give away anything to the competition. I'd better be on my guard - still, I have a surprise planned for later this season My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.08.27 11:46:00 - [11] It wasn't the lack of competition that drove me to run in a Stiletto (that got a few laughs ) so much as the fact that I was running rather late and didn't want to hold everyone up any longer than necessary. I'll be returning to the Destroyer class next time, and with any luck I'll have things sorted out a bit better. That said, it was certainly more of a challenge than normal, and I salute those pilots who have persisted with interceptors & frigates throughout the season.

Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.09.01 10:30:00 - [12] If I were you I'd dive straight in - it's possible to set up a respectable tech one racing frigate for less than 1m isk, and if you lose it in the course of a race I undertake to pay out 2m, covering the loss and the 1m entry fee.

Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.09.05 20:19:00 - [13] Edited by: Kazuo Ishiguro on 05/09/2007 20:23:32 It's a standing offer to all people flying T1 ships. As Quin has ably demonstrated (and I have confirmed through my shabbier performance last season), skill counts for much more than expensive equipment, and I don't think that people should be put off from racing because it's too costly for them. Losses are relatively rare - I've only had to make 3 payouts so far this season. If in doubt, run for it - you're in a small, agile ship that's difficult to hit or even lock. Warp core stabilizers are definitely not required, and a lot of racers sc*****through without even fitting any sort of tank.

Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.09.11 11:28:00 - [14] I expect that people's times will get about 10 minutes shorter over the course of a race. It'll be down, more than ever, to skill rather than luck. My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.09.12 13:10:00 - [15] Ships with greater signature radii can usually defend themselves more adequately- even haulers . I don't think pilots will make more mistakes than before, but whatever mistakes we make will be more significant. My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.10.03 13:14:00 - [16] Edited by: Kazuo Ishiguro on 03/10/2007 13:15:50 That race saw the closest finish to date - it still remains uncertain whether or not I managed to dock before Kanunu did. I was the first of 5 pilots to finish within the space of one minute, and I really was quite relieved; I had jostling for second position for the last 8 waypoints. In the end, all three of us warped to the finish line at almost exactly the same moment, and I nosed ahead of Quin by the narrowest of margins. The rivalry between Dragonstar and The Patriot Society has made this season much more colourful, and the final deciding race is going to be a thrilling event.

Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.10.03 21:22:00 - [17] The situation seems to be much the same as before - Dragonstar can still pull off a win in the interceptors corp league, but it's going to be a bit harder and it could go either way depending on how many pilots show up on each side. The pilots' league is just as close as ever. My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.10.07 11:05:00 - [18] Well, I've improved since the last time we met. Should be interesting My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats
