I got off to quite a bad start, warping to the wrong belt and missing the 1st waypoint. I could probably have recovered from that, but two or three jumps later I realised that I hadn't picked up a bookmark there. The resulting delay was fatal, and, as Gyra noted, it was down to Delusion 'Fel to pick up some points for the team; his performance was exemplary.
Once I finally got going, I don't think I was doing badly, but by then the race was already decided. I shall be more alert next time!

I've posted some graphs of the times at which each pilot reached each waypoint (or not ) over on the ISGC forum.
I am particularly impressed by the performance of the independent pilot Daran Hudson, who managed to claw his way back up from last place to finish 4th out of 16. On behalf of Zzz, I'm making him an offer I hope he can't refuse.... My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |

If you want to take your chances with a smaller team, Zzz is also recruiting. At the moment we're sticking to AF racing, but once we recruit more people we can branch out into the other classes. My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |

Edited by: Kazuo Ishiguro on 06/11/2007 13:59:29 After considerable intrigue about the exact scoring system to be used, I suppose it's fitting that the fastest and most capacious haulers received the bulk of the prizes.
Although I wouldn't dream of questioning the outcome of this particular race, I'm still not decided as to the best way of ranking hauling ability. One good measure might be m^3 hauled per hour- for this race, it yields quite similar results:
1. Pony - 7710 2. Owi - 5847 3. Kazuo Ishiguro - 3542 4. Kanunu - 3266 5. Thomas Joia - 2185
In retrospect, I think Gyra was right when she initially proposed a handicap for transport ships. Although blockade runners have rather less cargo capacity and transport ships are a little slower, it's possible to fit a 10mn MWD and a tank to them while still leaving low slots free for expanded cargoholds and speed mods.
Kanunu and I both did this with T1 industrials, and both of us needed full racks of reactor control units & MAPCs. This cost us more than half our potential cargo capacity (but improved speed relative to with ECs fitted), so for next time, I'd propose that T2 industrials have to haul twice as much as their T1 counterparts.

Things are looking up for Zzz - Delusion 'Fel has recovered from technical issues and will be able to join in with the next race. For my part, I expect to manage a small improvement. My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |

I regret that I will be unable to attend Saturday's race. Best of luck to all those taking part! My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |

When the current difficulties with jump clones are sorted out, I might resume racing with a Stiletto... My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |

View and weep: Linkage
Actually, the warp speed is slightly less odd than one of the other aspects of this image... My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |

It's a Stiletto. It has no drone bandwidth, so I can't actually do anything with the contents of the drone bay (which, oddly enough, has a capacity of zero). I only keep it that way because it's now impossible to duplicate. My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |

Originally by: DeVinces It's kind of nice to know that sucking can get me in the news.
Well, it's always worked for me. Anything but mediocrity My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |

As Dougalar has single-handedly sealed the AF league for herself and her corp, this only leaves the frigate league undecided. Four pilots are in striking distance of victory, but the eventual winner is anyone's guess.
My money's on Venture to pull ahead of Dirtside, though, as they have two out of the four top frigate pilots.

This was truly a race of epic proportions - I have to admit I groaned a little when I got to waypoint 9. Still, at least I was able to share the pain:

Full credit to you, Kay, for keeping me on my toes throughout the entire race. It was almost a shame that you fumbled waypoint 1.5 - I could have done with a bit more company (when I wasn't passing people going in the opposite direction).

Home also to Zzz alliance, including my own corp. I might manage to persuade a few more pilots to turn up. My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |
