Teams: 8 v 8
Maps: current or custom
Match Duration: 10 minutes
Victory Spoils: winner keeps all remaining clones plus the isk cost of all destroyed enemy gear and clones
Win conditions: 1) team that scores highest Race Factor (see below) wins (race Victory) after 10 minutes
2) if a team runs out of clones, match ends and opponent team win (Clone Victory)
New Mechanic: Race Factor calculation - dropships flown during the match will have 2 stats tracked by the game, elevation & speed. At the end of match a composite score will be posted that shows the average Team Dropship elevation and speed.
These stats will be displayed per player and a composite per team.
Goal: the team that finishes the match with the highest Race Factor wins. Flying dropships faster increases Race factor. Flying dropships lower increases Race factor
Description: teams of 8 purchase clones (minimum 8, maximum 80) prior to match start [ this is like a bet size, this is team investment in match] Teams can purchase as many clones between 8 & 80 as they like. New clones cannot be added after match begins.
Any dropship flown by a team member during the match has elevation and speed tracked over time. Winning strategies might involve fielding many dropships in order to keep Race Factor scores increasing or fewer dropships in order to keep AV on the ground to shoot enemy DS down, thereby decreasing opponent Race Factor score.
Or, a team might just go for a clone victory vs an opponent that chose to invest less clonEs in the match.
TLDR: a new game mode that combines Clone Betting and Fast Lowflying dropships in a race to the finish |

I sorta see where you are going with this. It is a very interesting subject, and i do think this could be cool. But.... it will never be added for a few reasons.(just so you know i am a fellow Dropship Pilot)
1. Not everyone can fly a Dropship, either because they don't have the skills (sp wise) or they don't have the skills(literally)
2. This is a FPS
3. The point system is a bit confusing and lots of people wouldn't understand.
4. If any type of racing would possibly be added, it would be LAV racing because everyone has access. But this won't be added.
You can still Dropship and LAV race, u just don't get points and it isn't an official gamemode. |

Arc, that's a very good point I hadn't considered. Every game mode needs to be self sustaining given the on-line player population. And a mode that is built around a single, narrow skillet like dropships might not bring in enough players to keep matches afloat.
Thanks for pointing that out But I am glad you appreciated the idea. |

We already have this.
It involves blasters, rail guns, missile turrets and ramming. Some additional ground support may be provided by more turrets and specialist support personal commonly referred to as AV Fittings.
