Description
[HARD] A zero G track involving wormhole travel.

Set partly in a moonbase in orbit around Jupiter and partly in an asteroid belt lightyears away, this is the spaciest of space tracks. Two wormhole portals provide passage back and forth.

The same issue occurs with vanilla Kuiper Overturn. Vonsnake hasn't implemented zero-G behaviour for 2280.

Noticed that the track is unplayable on Floor Hugger and 2280, as you just crash into the 'floor' of the map.

That being said, this is a very fun map and one of my favourite maps, I do love me a spacey track!

Absolutely brilliant track.

I didn't know I wanted another space track until I tried this one. It certainly covers a good area and feels very spacey. The wormhole is rather instant, maybe have a transition like some kind of vortex leap between the gates, would be very cool. Awesome track though! As for the space turns and manoeuvring, they feel just fine to me.

Fair 'nough. The track is an excellent, experimental run otherwise. Having to deal with 90° turns in zero-G and having more obstacles to deal with is harrowing in a good way.

The reason they give weapons in non-race modes is because BNG seems to think multiplayer races have no ships in them, so there doesn't seem to be a way to tell solo modes apart from race modes without breaking the track in multiplayer in the process. An earlier version had the "is this a race" check to avoid giving out weapons in non-race events, but it broke it in multiplayer.

Survival mode doesn't work well on all tracks, and basically no one seems to care when a track is unplayable on survival mode (not all layouts work well above zen), so it seemed like a worthy sacrifice.

thank you for continuing to experiment. cool track

More bugs...that problem also extends to Survival/Zone mode, and the Survival-mode scenery has opaque black windows where those aforementioned weapon rings are. It makes for an interesting twist on the mode, occasionally allowing me to get a shield or an autopilot, but...hm. Track's great otherwise, but there's some issues.

Enai, got a bug to report:
The pink and yellow rings are giving me weapons in Speed Lap mode, so something's not getting disabled correctly.

I mean, there IS an X-wing on the Workshop, someone just needs to make a TIE fighter.
