Buckyball Run 5: If you've got the soul, you can make it!

Looking for info on the previous Buckyball Runs? Click here for the Buckyblog. Did you take a screenshot of something cool on your way down the Pill? Or just like looking at the view? Either way, check out EliteGalaxy.org for all the Elite eye candy your brain can handle! POS indicates current position based on submitted race time. UNK No submitted time. UR Under Review. DNF Did Not Finish. DQ Disqualified. SPECS: ship hardware listed in this order: Power Plant/Thrusters/FSD/Power Distributor Times updated daily, or when I feel like it. The "Buckyball" Braben Star-to-Shining-Star Memorial Trophy Dash, widely known simply as The Buckyball Run, was an unofficial, unsanctioned spaceship race run from Xiaoguan Hub in Magec to the Vonarburg Co-Operative in the Wyrd system, intended both as a celebration of the Federation Interstellar Star Route System and a protest against strict traffic laws coming into effect at the time. As it was found out, the newly imposed 9.8c relativistic limit imposed by the Federation Maximum Velocity Law (imposed as an energy conservation measure) was actually slower than the quickest average velocities of point-to-point travels of Commander Ian Buchanan "Buckyball" Braben (no relation) in the first half of the 32nd century. In 3102, Braben flew the route in a Cowell-MgRath model 57 Sidewinder, averaging greater than 12.5c, setting a 32 minute record that stood for nearly 140 years. Another motivation was the fun involved... So what is it? The Buckyball Run is a series of point-to-point rally races within the navigable "capsule" of space in the Elite Dangerous beta, chosen so that anybody with a slightly modified ship* can measure their best time from start to finish. Commanders with more advanced vessels can make the runs as well, though to be fair times should only be compared with other ships of the same class. Even then, it might not be class, speed or range that ultimately determines the best time. So... What's the deal this time? The Buckyball Run 5 is a throwback to the original Buckyball Run, a straight-up race to the finish line. Start at Daimler Settlement in Coelrind, dock at Skolem Settlement in Xi Wangkala as fast as you can, 143 light years away by a route of your choosing. I suggest glancing the galactic map before takeoff. The only other rule is that each use of the distress beacon for in flight refulling is a 10 minute penalty. Odds are you're going to screw up at least once and wind up in a system with no gas station. If you do, fess up and take the 10. Don't make Bucky do math and actually audit your bank account. Bucky hates doing math. So that's it? No cops? No smuggling? No checkpoints? That's it. Just fly. Take a screenshot of the Station Services screen at launch to verify your starting time, ship, position and credit balnce, and take another at the end. Wait, these aren't the two most distant stars in the pill. What gives? Yup, you are correct, but it's close enough. It was partially done to make sure low end ships could still make the trip, but also because the farthest points are dumps with no facilities or cheezball orbitals. I'm not gonna have everybody start and finish where they have to camp out, or when DaveB shows up in his party barge he can't dock because they only accept "medium" size ships. It's also a good idea not to end in Federal space because the Federal Fun Police are looking to shut us down now. (It may have something to do with the roughly 50,000 Buckyball bumper stickers I paid to have stuck all over the outside of Daimler Settlement. They apparently didn't think it was funny, the crybabies. Which probably means you shouldn't loiter and whatever you do, don't say the word "Buckyball" while in dock... Being the Feds it's probably a capital offense.) What about classes? Do Sidewinders still compete with Sidewinders, and Vipers with Vipers, etc? That's a good question. For this race, probably not. With ship modding, you can take a Sidewinder or Eagle and really give it legs. Of course the more money you have, the faster and farther your ship can go. Rather than doing it by ship type, it'd be cool to go by cost for determining factor racing class if I can figure out how. Regardless, there will probably be a special award for whoever makes it in the ship with the lowest jump distance rating. Really, though, just take whatever ship you have make the run just to see if you can do it. There's a whole lot of space out there to explore! On that note: the base Sidey won't make it to the finish line this time around. You need a ship with at least 11 LY jump capability to reach the other end of the pill. There might be a route with less, but I haven't found it. As usual, screenshots will verify the racers' times. Take a screenshot of the main Station Services screen before you launch, take one as you land. If you want to shave off a second or two, screenshot the clock immediately when you touch down, but be sure to capture the Station Services screen immediately afterwards. Also as usual, people recording video of the race do not need to take screenshots but do need to open the Station Services screen for verification at the beginning and end. The deadline to submit times is 23:59, 27 October, 3300 game time, prior to the launch of Beta 3. You make as many attempts as you like. The Important Stuff Plan for 30-60 minutes to complete, less for larger ships, plus whatever time you need to plan your route. To break it down, follow this simple flight plan and checklist: Post your intent to race in this thread, or if you are not a forum member, email (bucky at electricz dot net) with your info. List the following: Your commander's name (if different than your user name) Ship Name Ship Type Specs for the ship: Power Plant, Thrusters, FSD and Power Distributor. (or the whole loadout if you want to brag. You can also take a screenshot of the outfitting screen showing the required stats.) Jump Range (unladen) Your answer for the Official Buckyball Question of the Race: "What's your favorite ship from any media?" Note: Solo/multiplayer used to be here, but just include that with your individual time submissions in case you decide to try both. Make sure your ship is in tip-top shape at Daimler Settlement in Coelrind. Make repairs, remove any excess mass. You need at least 11 ly jump range to make the trip. Plan your route. Don't skip this step or you'll find out how much it sucks to have to backtrack or take penalties for emergency refuels. Make sure you are on the surface and prepare for launch. If you start your clock in the hangar you'll be unhappy. Open the Station Services screen and hit F10 to take a screenshot or start your video capture, showing your location and credit balance. You need it in order to qualify your run. Launch and get going, champ! The clock is ticking! Navigate your way to Skolem Settlement at Xi Wangkala and dock. It's a bit of a hike, not gonna lie. Open the Station Services screen and hit F10 to screenshot. (You can save a second or two and screenshot the clock as soon as you touch down but you must follow it with the Station Services screenshot.) PM me links to your screenshots. (Do NOT post them.) Submissions for race times will be accepted until 23:59, 27 October, 3300 game time. OR if you are not a member of the forum and would like to participate anyway, email your links and route info to (bucky at electricz dot net.) While awaiting the results, crack open a bottle and share tales of your exploits with your fellow Buckyballers to enjoy or ridicule as they see fit. Also... Run the race using only one ship at a time. If you are destroyed or otherwise incapacitated, do not finish the race in a respawned Sidey or other replacement. Start over. Exception: if your client hangs or crashes you may resume at your last save point, but unfortunately the clock does not stop since there's no way to verify how long you were out. Refuel only at stations. Emergency beacons are a no-no. If you push too far and have to call for a tanker, you will incur a ten-minute penalty. (Or restart to wipe the slate clean.) Make as many runs as you like. Your best time will be recorded at the end of the race. Racing multiple times in different ship types is A-OK, and times for each will be recorded separately. The difference in times from the first screenshot at Daimler Settlement and your screenshot at Skolem Settlement the end will be the official time of your run. For video, it's the time you launch at Daimler until the time the clock appears upon touchdown when you return. The pilot with the shortest race time will be the winner. Again, we'll figure division/class winners as we go. Suggestions are welcome! Because solo mode eliminates lag and congestion around star ports, solo pilots have a time advantage over people playing online. Please note if you are racing solo or multiplayer when submitting your times. The credit balance will be to evaluate if the pilot utilized the emergency beacon for an in-flight refueling session. For each expenditure equaling the cost of an inflight refueling (class dependent) the pilot will incur a ten-minute penalty. This is to discourage the use of in-flight refueling using the distress beacon. So drive carefully, and don't run out of gas. Pilots of your caliber shouldn't have a problem. (Well, the fuel thing may get you this time, but that's life in the big pill.) Send links to screenshots or video and route information to me via private message. Pilots need to provide screenshots of the start and finish. You will need to provide a route list, but don't provide it until the race is over. There's no way I can have it in my mailbox and not have it affect my planning. When the race period is over, I will post the collected times and a summary of the race. Then, sit back and enjoy the glory and admiration showered upon you by your fellow pilots. So what's to keep me from faking my screenshots or refuelling without admitting it or lying about my ship's stats? I can't stop you. There are all kinds of ways you can cheat. As in the real life, earth-bound Cannonball Run, there is no prize for winning other than doing it. In addition, "there was a gentlemen's agreement that the vehicle entered would be driven the entire distance, not having it transported on another vehicle, nor having an identical second vehicle hidden near the finish, etc." That's the spirit of this little exercise. How fast can you make the run, using only your piloting skills the ship you've got? There's no need to cheat because what would that get you? Don't be that commander. Nobody likes that commander. Thanks for the lecture. Anything else? Nope, that about does it. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. You may launch at any time. The Shotgun Shine has already departed for Skolem Settlement and the bar will be open by the time you dock. Good luck, Commander! FAQ in the next post.
