Racers by Oracle

Description
These are a couple edits and some additional ships for racing. [Lol H] gh created a couple of the ships which I've modified for extra power and acceleration, one of which is based on the default ships in the Easy Start world. On one side we have light racers, under 100,000 kg, and on the other are the heavies, though both are based on small craft.

From right to left the Light Racers are:

Ultralight (Red) - Minimal frame, it is just a wad of engines, generators, and gyros with just enough bodywork so you can paint them different colors.

GH's Basic Racer v1.1 (White) - There are few apparent changes, but the originals were underpowered so I tweaked the bodywork to make room for some more generators.

Gee Bee (Black) - This one was inspired by the Gee Bee[en.wikipedia.org], a racing airplane that was notable for the huge engine and the cockpit mounted right in front of the rudder.

Maximus (Blue and White) - This one came in just under the 100,000 kg limit. I was trying to make a smoother Gee Bee.

Lean Machine (Green and Yellow) - Something skinny but powerful to slide through the small gaps between other racers and the course guides.

Default Fighter v1.1 - (Yellow) - With the weapons removed and some upgrades, the fighter from Easy Start makes a pretty decent racer.

Heavies from left to right:

Ram Tank (Red and White) - Somebody who I won't name posted a "ram tank" that was so slow it would hit max velocity right after somebody rebuilt their station to let it pass clean through. I built a new ramming ship that was vastly quicker but didn't defend the cockpit as well, so now it is a racer that can rub another racer and keep going.

Steamer (Black and Red) - Inspired by the shape of high-speed steam locomotives.

Also, all my ships now have appropriately named beacons.

I added a couple new ships:
Corncob and Hot Rod are built along similar lines, but are Heavy and Light classes, respectively.

The Hot Rod is heavy on the gyros, so it will turn quicker than you might expect. Also, it is very light on the reverse thrusters, so turning around will slow you down much faster than letting the interial dampeners do the job.
