AND the amount of available fuel tanks needs to be taken into account.But does that mean that players might need the Fuel Tank OXP installed in order to succeed?
As far as I understood, there are three factors that influence the speed in relation to each other in such a race:
1. The ship`s speed (can be anywhere from 0.08 to 0.999 LS)
2. Fuel Tanks used or not?
3. If Fuel Tanks used, how many? Possible amount installed could be anywhere between 0 and 16.
There are also three possible solutions, methinks:
1. You restrict the speed of the ships and if they may use Fuel Tanks and if yes, how many, before they are allowed to participate at all.
2. You add NPC participants to the race that have comparable equipment to the player.
3. You create different leagues of race with different spans of ship speed and fuel tank usage which are allowed to participate.
Personally, I`d like solution 3 best, but it`s not for me to decide, just imho.
Good idea that someone finally does something with those racers
