    If there's enough interest I'd certainly be up for running it again. There are some game mechanics I can tweak to make it more dynamic too if we try again.

    Sorry for the delay in posting yesterday. The most exciting post is up for the race!

    This could be it everyone! Are we about to see a winner? The Klystron Pulsar pushes his engines in an effort to pull ahead. Flying through the steam he fires his blasters and clears the path. Taking advantage of the Pulsar's action the Riot Racer flies through the tunnel in the steam created by the blaster fire. Seeing the other two pods right behind him, Yperio gives it everything he's got trying to keep the lead and pass Maath's pod. But right before the finish line are some wall mounted canons. They open fire on Yperio! His shields seem like they will hold, but then fail! His pod is pouring smoke and this is going to cost him 1 movement. Will he be able to recover enough to finish the race let alone win? And ahead of them all is Maath's pod! Maath's been able to pull into the lead through his quick thinking and heavily shielded pod. Will his strategy help him win today? He's so close to the finish line he can taste the victory! But just beyond the flag he sees one of the track's traps flare to life. Fire is erupting from the walls! Worried his shields won't hold he hesitates just before the final check point! But knowing the victory goes to the bold he pushes forward anyway and passes the finish line intact! We have a winner folks! Maath has won! @SATSOK

    I was so ready to be disappointed by the Ghost and so pleasantly surprised by the pictures! I think the underside has too much exposed technic. But overall this looks like a solid set and one I will certainly be getting at some point.

    As the racers finish their 2nd lap we see Maath pulling in front. He's been able to avoid most of the track's obstacles so far, will his luck hold out? As he races forward a lava trap is activated on the track! But Maath's quick thinking saves his pod. He shifts all power to the lower shields and glides right over the lava with no damage! Hot on his heals we see Yperio rounding the 2nd corner. And folks, we've just had word that some Rathtars escaped their handlers and climbed into the ducts near the track. Maybe that's why the workers never go the electricity under control? But who cares about that! We are seeing the Rathtars reach their tentacles through and try to grab the pods! Yperio fires his blasters at them. But one of them grabs his left flank! Yperio pours shot after shot into the Rathtar and finally it lets go. But it's going to cost Yperio 2 movement spaces! The Klyston Pulsar is working hard to catch up with the leaders. But as he rounds the first corner he faces a mob of spectators fleeing the Rathtars! Remembering that his blasters didn't help him last time he decides to crank his shields up. Bystanders bounce off his shields left and right, but he manages to fly through unscathed. Hot on his heels the Riot Racer faces the same mob fleeing for their lives! Seeing the Pulsar's strategy work he too cranks his shields and flies through the crowd. We're nearing the end of the race folks! Who's going to win?

    Sorry, meant to send you a PM a long time ago. I think your work is fantastic so far. But there's not very much Lego on your stream yet. We try to reserve that tag for builders who prove themselves over time.
  7. MKJoshA
    Thanks for the name corrections guys. I've fixed the previous posts and added today's race updates!

    Finally clear of the rioters, our racers whip around the corner! Looks like the work crews haven't quite gotten this section of the track fixed yet. Word is they joined the rioters instead of finishing their job! But the Pulsar just turns his shields back on and cruises through. The Riot Racer follows suit and races through the electricity storm without any trouble. Maath whips past both racers and turns the final corner before the finish line for the 2nd lap! Steam rises through the vents in the floor making it difficult to see. But with some quick thinking Maath fires his blasters which clears the steam enough for him to make the turn without hitting the wall! Ahead of the Pulsar and Riot Racer but still recovering from the lost time bypassing his fuel line, Yperio pulls in behind Maath. Spikes had been built into the floor to test the racers agility. But Yperio activates his canons and just blows a path through for his pod. And here's where our racers stand:

    More very exciting race updates!

    Zooming past the electricity the racers continue down the track and past the first checkpoint! The Klyston Pulsar is nearing the first turn of the 2nd lap when angry protestors jump onto the track! Seems some residents of Coachelle Prime are unhappy with the construction of this race course and have decided to violently protest by attacking the racers! The Pulsar shows no empathy towards these beings and opens fire! But it looks like his attacks aren't strong enough to stop the attackers. He grazes the leg of one of them, but the mob fires back with their own rifles causing some damage! This is going to cost the Pulsar 2 movement spaces next round as he repairs his pod! Maath flies through the first checkpoint and sees the protestors jump onto the track. He cranks his shields up and flies through the mob unscathed. In the midst of shots ricocheting off the walls the Riot Racer plows through the mob. He too shows no mercy and turns his guns on the crowd. But his pod was built for speed, not attack and his blasters do no damage! A couple shots land on his pod and he's forced to slow down for repairs. This costs him 2 movement spaces for the next round. It's all pins and needles for the spectators as Yperio enters the fray! He sees an opening through the crowd and cranks his engines. But one of the protestors jumps in front of his pod! Yperio fires and manages to maim the attacker, but not before he sinks a vibroblade into the fuel line! Thrar's racer reacts quickly and manages to bypass the damaged line only costing him 1 movement space next round. Stay tuned for more updates tomorrow!

    And we're back to wishlisting. Please stay on target

    The race has begun! Go check out the event here. I'll update the race once a day until we have a winner!

    And the first stage of the race has begun! The Klyston Pulsar is first out the gate and moves forward 5 spaces! He heads through a dangerous part of the track. Work crews had been trying to secure some power lines, but didn't seal them up as well as they should have before the race began. Now electricity is shooting out sporadically as the racers fly along the track! But the Klyston Pulsar has shields aplenty as isn't even phased by the electricity! Not to be outdone, Maath is hot on the heals of the Pulsar. He also moves forward 5 spaces and easily dodges the electricity. Right behind them is the Riot Racer. Following the strategy of the other racers he charges ahead 5 spots. Electricity surrounds his pod as a particularly nasty discharge occurs. But his shields hold and he continues unscathed. And staying neck and neck with all the other racers Yperio moves 5 spaces. Seems like the work crews discovered their mistake and the electricity seems to be shooting out with less intensity for now. Thrar manages to make it through completely unscathed! What an amazing (though slightly less destructive than our audiences usually like to see) first round! Every racer has focused on speed and has managed to shoot across the course rapidly. Time will tell if their strategies will work!

    The big race is about to begin! Today we have 4 racers! First up we have the Klystron Pulsar with its Speed 5, Attack 2 and Defense 5. (Due to winning first place in Cat A this racer gets a 50/50 chance to avoid obstacles). Next up is Maath's Racer with its Speed 5, Attack 3 and Defense 4. (Due to winning second place in Cat A this racer gets a 1/3rd chance to avoid obstacles). After that comes the Riot Racer with its Speed 5, Attack 2 and Defense 5. (Due to too many speed points this racer has been adjusted to have 2 Attack points). And last but not least is Reegor Thrar's pod with Yperio as its racer with its Speed 5, Attack 3 and Defense 4.
  15. MKJoshA
    Yes, but also helps balance the game a little since the Mercs have the most active players
  16. MKJoshA
    Just FYI, you can't put more than 5 points in any one stat so I moved 2 points from Speed to Attack.
  17. MKJoshA
    Yes, for this contest we wanted to give every team more of a chance at reaching P10.
  18. MKJoshA
    We got the Blacktron torso though. So it's not the Space theme in total. And the 1980s space helmet remakes are all available. So I'm hopeful the space torsos and Pirate pieces will show up eventually.

    Scores for all Cat A entries have been posted. The race will commence on July 5th! Scores for Cat B and C will be posted soon.

    @SATSOK @Yperio_Bricks We're working on judging the racers right now. As soon as judging is done I'll start the race. Please be patient with us as we just finished judging 79 M4 entries and we're a little tired!
  23. MKJoshA
    I think it looking like Han's speeder is a good thing! You've got great curves on the racer and color scheme looks very realistic.
  24. MKJoshA
    Your buildings and doors all feel very Star Wars-y. Great work! And the tiers you built into your MOC give everything a great sense of depth.
  25. MKJoshA
    Wow, you used that Nexo shield with such an amazing effect! Love the angles, love the yellow stripes, love all the tools... love everything! This might be your best MOC yet.
