Call to All Arena Pilots – Day 5
Well then? The rankings on Campaign1, Campaign2, and Campaign3 remain unchanged today. We're starting to wonder if you're resting on your laurels… or if HyneKro just welded his times directly onto the leaderboard. 👀But today, what really caught our attention were two images shared on our Discord. Two snapshots, tense like a well-executed turn:Scorpion400 slips past HyneKro on Tutorial 6 in a razor-sharp duel: → 00-09-800 vs. 00-09-832.Yes, we’re talking about a 32-millisecond difference. The kind of detail that humbles you.Here, it’s CardamomCake who takes the lead, followed by HyneKro and littledionysus: → 00-06-923 / 00-07-183 / 00-07-318 Three approaches, three flight paths. We love to see it.🔥 Meanwhile, over 1000 unique pilots have taken flight in The RIFT on Steam.We see you. And we thank you, deeply. Keep going.🧠 Pro Tip – The Crab Strafe, or the Art of Spatial Drifting Combine your thrusters to get the most out of your ship. Moving forward while climbing is all about angle, rhythm… and smart camera alignment.“I’ve seen trajectories worthy of modern art today. Keep it up, you’re weird—but efficient.” – R-V “Thrust vector optimization: incomplete. Improve camera control.” – M1-ShellRead full article on Community Announcements (rift)AnnouncementsOfficial
