Ship racing time trial playtest.

Hello all!

After a fantastic playtest last week of the Ship Racing system, we spotted some bugs, including one bad one which meant 2 out of 4 of our playtesters were not able to complete the race. These bugs have been fixed, and some other improvements, many of which were suggestions from our playtesters, are now live!

SHIP RACE 4 is now available for attempts. This race is a Time Trial, meaning you can show up to the starting coordinates and CHECKIN at any time while the race is still available. Rather than requiring a synchronous race where everyone lines up and flies at the same time, Time Trials allow for asynchronous races where people are simply competing to get the best time, on their own time. More information can be found in HELP RACING!

Racers ready,
Neritus
