    As the tital explains. This is a space race. Quickest time into orbit wins (ie. the moment the egg disconnects from its launch shuttle).

    If you think you have a chance of making the best time I recommend recording the game or downloading and installing the pastats mod.

    Screenshots of the disconnect and chronocam time should be posted.

    Closing date in Sunday 6th October.

    Edit: I just want the screenshot posted. Don't want people giving away their tricks. We can all photoshop a picture so well done if you gonna troll.

    Doesn't surprise me at all. They probably stole it in the first place...

    Presumably this can be played on any planet? If a new patch adds metal points you might have to specify the distribution settings.

    Sounds like a lot of fun, I'll give this a go even if I don't stand much of a chance. Heck, I could make a video and try and encourage people to join :)

    Best build will win. No exploits I know of can help. Haha yeah zaphod, just for fun. That would be great. I set the date until Sunday so people have at least a full day after the weekend patch. Prob best to race a guy in a math. Instead I been harassed by the ai.

    Haven't tried it yet but have a good idea how to do it most efficient.

    Ok so I just thought of some exploits. No reclaiming of enemy structures/ wrecks. Anyone else think of any or have good ideas?

    Tbh I think you should have to record it just for the best to verify their build.

    No working with anyone else in the game e.g. getting them to help build your buildings.

    Yeah true about the recording. I will record all mine. I will try keep the scoreboard as good as I can. Will cross same build time conflicts bridge if it comes to it. Rocks and trees can't be reclaimed in the current build.

    This is a great idea! I'm curious just to know what an 'average' or 'good' time would be.

    Just to keep the playing field even for all players, perhaps a planet should be specified via generation numbers.

    Will have a dry run later. Haven't tried yet but reckon 10-15 minutes be a good time.

    I've been saying since the start of alpha that clopse is a rich king living in castles all over europe. Good luck to everyone, lets see who can do this!

    Can it be an AI game or a normal people game?

    TIL starting a timed PA space race makes one a rich king with many castles.
