Swoop Racer II: Players can engage in this simulator of swoop racing, it's about ten years out of date but a fan favorite. Players can roll a Piloting Plantery check at Average or Computers check at Easy to have some fun.

There is a hard mode that increases the difficulty by two so Daunting Piloting Planetary or Hard Computers check.

The game also has Hell Mode which is Computers of Piloting Planetary at 4eC+2eD for the dificulty.
Normal Mode: Hard Mode: Hell Mode: Crash Highlight Reel:

Crash Highlight Reel for failures and/or Despairs.

Awesome, I was thinking of doing something like this. There should just be a Normal mode. No Easy mode for arcade machines. They want to eat up your credits. :p


How about this for scoring?

Each worth
Triumph = 250 points
Success = 100 points
Advantage = 10 points
Threats = -10 points

Despair = epic crash

In case of Triumph with no success, high score achieved but didn't finish the game?

Ah, I read the easy difficulty as easy mode.

I don't think Triumphs should be x10 a success, has the likelihood of negating scores of people who roll without yellow proficiency dice. Maybe one or two extra successes per Triumph and a tie-breaker factor.

Sounds good to me. I adjusted it to be 250 points each.

Remmington needs to reroll his, it's fluff but assist and custom tools make no sense.

I'm assuming shortcut applies as a racing talent?

Just assume most talents don't work, this is a game not a simulation, it's very gamey it's nothing like real racing or flying or anything.
