Objective:

Complete the race from start to finish, while collecting a `TrackerBox` from each checkpoint. The crew that reaches the finish line and presents all three TrackerBoxes will claim victory.

Rules:

• Contestants must fly a Drake Caterpillar with no more than three crew (1 pilot, 3 crew)

  • Ship components are crew discretion 

• Contestants must complete all three checkpoints, or they are disqualified

• Contestants are allowed to use lethal force to gain an advantage

  • ONLY ship turrets and player FPS weapons are permitted (i.e. crew members are permitted to use handheld missile launchers, railgun, grenades etc.)

  • Weapons affixed to anything other than the Caterpillar turret or a crew member are not permitted. This includes, but not limited to, getting a Nova Tank or Ballista, etc. onto your Caterpillar in any way and utilizing their armaments

• Boarding other contestants ship is permitted

• Reinforcements are not permitted at any time during the event

  • Should a crew member meet their demise, they are no longer able to participate

  • Should a crew become incapacitated, revival is permitted

• Support or Escort ships are not permitted

• Rearming, Re-Fueling and Repairing are permitted only at designated checkpoints, should those services be available

• Race completion is maked by touchdown (as noted by the TK), and winning condition marked by verification (as verified by the VE)

  • Should ship 1 land with a timestamp of 01:13:30, and ship 2 lands with a timestamp of 01:13:48, it is possible that ship 2 be declared the winner if ship 1 fails to verify all three TrackerBoxes.

• Use of tractor beams is permitted

• Murdering a Race Official disqualifies all Crew and their Ship

Tracking Mechanics:

A trusted non-contestant player will take Delivery Contracts to provide enough packages, three per Contestant. The holder of these contracts must verify three packages at the finish line for a winner to be declared. (The contract holder will likely lose reputation)

A trusted non-contestant player will distribute one package to one crew member, per checkpoint

Non-Contestant Roles (Race Officials):

Time Keeper: Located at the finish line, will record the timestamp of the Caterpillar touching the ground on the LZ

Verification Engineer (VE): Located at the finish line, the VE will verify that each TrackerBox is associated with their original Delivery Contract (There may be multiple VE’s per race, depending on contract availability, etc)

Checkpoint Engineer: Located at each checkpoint, the CE will provide a TrackerBox to each competing ship as they arrive. 

A note about Bugs: Shit happens, and luck can be tough. Any bug that is non-recoverable, such as the Caterpillar exploding upon exiting it, that ship is out of the race. There’s no real way to make things fair as bugs, known or otherwise.

A 30k will restart or possibly reschedule the event
