In-game races

A search pulled up about 140 "great plug-in idea" topics, and I don't think any of them had what I was looking for.

For my Hitchhiker's Guide plug-in, I want an RW6 race to get from Ursa Minor Beta to Io, and I can't figure out how to do this. If I set it so that my opponent is my escort, it'll just fly around over the planet and come back to me and so forth. If I have a special ship set thingy, it'll do pretty much the same thing, sans-boomerang effect.

Is there any way to have the ship race me from system to system? Or do I just have to make a movie for it?

No good way, movie is your best bet.

Yeah, there's no real way to do racing so that the player can lose. However, flare riding is actually fairly easy to do... : :plagiarizes Frandall's <cryptic grin>::

Racing is indeed possible... well sort of..

Make a target drone (disabled) that only your race opponents will want to kill.
The race mission is to board the ship.

You get there first. Success!!!
They destroy the target. failure!

Thus Racing is Possible
