Velocity Blessed Capsuleers, Do you have a need for speed? With the recent overheat bonus added to combat interceptors we want to see just how fast you can go! We’re holding a short competition over the next week where we want to see a screenshot or short clip of your top speed in a combat interceptor on Tranquility - and be sure to let us know the story of how you achieved it! 1st Place: 500 PLEX + Howling Interceptors SKIN Bundle 2nd / 3rd: 250 PLEX + Howling Interceptors SKIN Bundle 3rd - 5th: Howling Interceptors SKIN Bundle In the case of speed ties the first submission will be counted as faster! And for those clever capsuleers out there, no - sunbounces, POS bowling or warping don’t count! Your ship must reach top speed under its own power. We will stop accepting new entries after Monday November 2nd 2020. Entries will be accepted either as posts in this thread or via replies to our posts related to this contest on social media. Happy Racing! ---

and the Sleipnir offers +4% but if they were both entering a Abyss site to get extra boosts I thought nothing larger than a Cruiser could enter. **Dark** Penalty to Turret Optimal and Falloff Range Bonus to maximum velocity (+50%) ---

does it have to be interceptors?

Skirmish links will increase the speed obviously and some speed clouds in abnormal space or a class 6 black hole will double that speed +33% from the links.
