I have a idea that I wanted to run by you guys (and girls if there are any) that I think might be fun. Rather than relying solely on the developers to create fun things for us to do, there's no reason we can't create some of our own. I have this thing that I've been doing for a while now that started as a way to clean up all the blocks that built around my base to keep the frame rate up. I built a helicopter specifically for the task with block magnet underneath to fly blocks back and forth to an SCU. I have found that this is not only fun, but is also a great way to develop your piloting skills and test new builds. While doing this today, it occurred to me that it would make a cool sporting event. There would be a set number of blocks and distance to SCU, and the first to get their blocks in (elapsed time-number of trips is irrelevant) wins. Everyone could use the same save, either the heli supplied in the save, or your own as long as it has the same magnet and just one of course. When you feel you are putting down a run capable of beating the current record, record your run and post it. The video itself will be timekeeper. When coop comes we can then go head to head. I think more people would get interested in heli's if they see their capabilities, and racing always pushes designs forward too. I made a vid that will give you an idea of what i'm talking about, though I wasn't trying to do it fast at the time. The idea came later. Anyone down for a little friendly competition?
