Racing Craft:

Class: Valkryie
Name: Pegasus
Armament: None
Crew: 1
Shields: Triple 5CN Regan Type XI Shields
Engines: Three Halcyon Mark V Engines
Info: This ship is one of the latest generation of spacecraft that has been developed by the Five Civilized Nations. It has been stripped of all of its weaponry and has been incredibly upgraded with triple shields and three engines instead of the standard one shield and twin engines.
In the latest tests, this vessel has been known to very vulnerable when the shields are down, because of the volatile fuel that the vessel uses. One of the major problems this vessel has is with its gryo-stabilizers. Because of the upgrades, the vessel is not completely stablized and has been known to spin out of control.

You're kidding me, right? No FTL? How can you expect a race ship to go two light years?? You're talking a 5-20 year long race...

And what about Space Fold? That isn't another dimension... I could just press a button and get there almost instantly.

His Highnes has taken your consurns to the Minister of Science we will alow FTL travle threw Regular space however the ships speed may not exceed the safty limit of 1.82 times the speed of light. Granted Space folding may be a fast way to complete this race we ate limiting the frequancy of the fold to enshure the safty of other vessels Hyperspace is forbidden becuse the ship temeraly enters another dimentional feald and techicly leaves the course (thease limitations give the bation of Bar Frybarec a complete disadvantage in this race as out FTL capbilty is Relyent upon Planer space tech

<<<<<<Entrys Confermed you will be telagramed when the race is to begin>>>>>>>>

OOC: You have no freaking clue what a light year is, do you...

IC: You are insane, we will send no one to participate in your 16-month-long race. If it was a few hours, or even just a few days, we would be happy to send someone... but you are certifiably insane if you think we would send our great pilots on a 16 month game of survivor...
