Mod Request/Idea... Hovis Race back!

I just had an idea , what about a mod that brings back Hovis to race against after SP?
Go in the bar & talk to him & go race. Doable? (yes, I searched the Forum)

I suppose you could try adding it as a random mission, but I have yet to try adding RMs so don't ask me

Nearly impossible for the scripting part. We have the track but we dont' have the trigger command lines. You can't tell if some1 went through the ring or not.

Should be easy enough. it's just a set of waypoints.

That was what I was thinking of except only BIGGER (BIGGER = ENTIRE SYSTEM)
anyone remember the voyager episode where they race? that is what im thinking of,

you might be able to set up some different kind of race like you chose a waypoint in a far system and the first person to get there wins, the further the waypoint the, higher the stakes.

How many assholes do we have on this ship anyhow?

ahh lets have it as a random mission so u can have "different" opperents instead of hovis i mean if u didnt do it as a random mission think of how boring it would be i cant stand to race the same person 5x unless someone pays me BIG money
if u dont do it and just race hovis this will be the lineup:
Hovis
hovis
hovis
*yawn*
hovis(im bored)
hovis (i think i had enough of this ******* guy)
hovis(can i race someone else i mean comeon ppl is dexter the only one as i recall there is alot more ppl)
hovis(thats it im through)
Hovis (ur boring me hovis i ll think ill make this exciting....)
Hovis(thats it i had enough of ur sassy mouth ill kill u now!)

Yeah, it'd be cool to make it set a waypoint several systems away, first one to get there wins! you can go any way you like.

it may seem stupid, but isnt it possible to make it like a mission with more enemys the next waypoint mission, but then to make a static amount of waypoints at the race track. them make the racetracks be like monsters that apear in like random order (would be really really hard to make them face the right way though) and make them not move but have a waypoint on them and die (and regenerate after the race) once u fly through so the second waypoint will show up at the next gate. maybe its not possible but i thinks its a nice suggestion...

Thanks for the feedback! MP racing Vs another player might be even cooler. If server would allow it,
all u need is a set of waypoints in rings, right? Other players could watch finish line, see winner.
