Trying to keep the VE as 'real' as possible, I think many of the people that would want to take part would not be able to afford a full blown racing standard pod racer, would they? :P

Actually pod racing is cheaper; just a lot more dangerous  Unless your attribue a poor value to life... Those who can't afford swoops can salvage the engines of wrecked starfighters or freighters to comble together a podracer. Odds are 50/50 you'll splatter yourself allong the track or blow yourself (and sometimes others) to the afterlife   |

Unless you happen to be a pretty good slicer, or have talented friends, that option could also be tricky. Besides, could your average scrapyard junk really compare with a true racer? :P =================Army=================== Sergeant First Class Kanderin Draken Wraith Squad Leader ~ W i l d c a r d P l a t o o n ~ Wraith Squad Motto: When staring in the face of death we see our reflection PA-SL/SFC Kanderin/3SQD/1PLT/1COM/1BAT/1RGT/VEA/VE [LoS] [IH][GRP][CCA] =============Special Operations================ ~Phantom~Phantom Lead Xephilus Sekine/Alpha Squad/Alpha Team - 1/VE |
