yup, add to that a mechanic that rewards or gives penalties of how well you maintain your mentality like resting at stops, gamble or explore. De-buffs could be something like longer stamina regeneration and faster core replenishment. Buffs on lower mental state could be something like adrenaline upon combat negating bullet slowing and/or stronger eye adjustment to darkness?

I love the idea of big community organized competitions like this! I saw something similar to this on Elite: Dangerous, the Latji Tea Race and Brawl! It was a rally race where teams would load their ships with canisters of tea, and then transport it from one system to another distant system. The team that managed to transport the most tea to the “finish line” fleet carrier by the end of the time limit wins! Here’s the catch: various other players would be acting as pirates, and trying to steal the tea in order to deposit it for their own team! Everyone would follow specific rules of engagement that would minimize ship destruction, pirates included. I didn’t participate in this race, but it sounded like a fun idea.

That was pretty incredible. I'd never seen anything like that and can't wait until the 4th or 5th annual event because hopefully by that time the devs will have saved up enough cash to rent a handful of extra servers for a few days. As cool as it was, the server latency/overload made it kind of awful. The buggy event just ending halfway through is among the worst possible scenarios for all involved. For me, it was the novelty of the event, the enormous scale and amazing potential the event represents, that made the abysmal LOD and the overall presentation tolerable. Theoretically, it can only improve from her and I imagine in a few years it might be one of the coolest thing I've ever seen. So, I guess here's to hoping the devs start saving now for a little extra server space next year. I jest a little and am mostly ignorant on Star Citizen and servers so I'm sure it's all *super* complicated. Also, just to be clear, I think OP did an excellent job documenting the event in spite of the game's performance.
