The following ship class regulations [Endurance Prototype 1] are set forth to ensure a fair and competitive environment within the Interplanetary Endurance Series.

1. Competing spacecraft are limited to the utilization of a specific set of size 2 [2x2] components (listed below). These components cannot be manipulated by a servomotor.

   • 1.1. One gyroscope

   • 1.2. Three reactors

   • 1.3. Three forward & upward engines

   • 1.4. Two leftward & rightward engines

   • 1.5. Two reverse engines

   • 1.6. One downward engine

2. All participating spacecraft must adhere to a set acceleration spec

   • 2.1. Forward and upward: 280st/s²

   • 2.2. Left and right: 185st/s²

   • 2.3. Downward: 90st/s²

   • 2.4. Reverse: No set acceleration spec (up to pilot preference)

3. Competing spacecraft physical dimensions must fall within the designated limitations.
   Minimum dimensions are established at 7 x 5 x 14.6 studs, with a maximum set at 15 x 8 x 28 studs.

   • 3.1. Spacecraft must follow the dual-prong form factor.

   • 3.2. This must be checked at normal orientation, where the control seat has zero X or Z rotation. 

   • 3.3. Folding & extension mechanisms which result in a protrusion of the specified box during flight are strictly prohibited.

   • 3.4. The front of the control seat must point towards the front face of the limiting box at all times. The control seat cannot be manipulated by a servomotor.

4. All competing spacecraft must possess a minimum weight of 615 units, with a maximum weight of 620 units.

5. All parts must have collisions toggled on. 

   • 5.1. Parts used for decal work, or to access the control seat may be exempted.

6. All competing spacecraft must be outfitted with a discernable interior design element.

   • 6.1. Components must not be obviously visible in first-person view.

7. Each spacecraft must conspicuously exhibit the official IES-EP1 class decal. Said decal can be retrieved from the #decals-graphics channel on the designated HSRL server.

   • 7.1. The decal is to be placed on an "Institutional White" coloured brick, with material set to "Smooth Plastic" & fully opaque (transparency = 0). Minimum brick dimensions (with the decal on the top face) are 0.6 x 0.01 x 0.6

   • 7.2.  The class decal requirement necessitates clear and unobstructed visual identification from an external perspective while the spacecraft remains stationary.

8. All competing spacecraft are subject to a minimum standard of visual appeal. Engine boxes and the mere stacking of bare components solely for function are expressly forbidden, and will result in a rejected time submission.

9. Competing spacecraft must have a public copy available for purchase.

   • 9.1. A minimum of two copies must be available for purchase.

   • 9.2. Bodywork, internals and any other technology must be identical to the race version.

   • 9.3. Public copies may have a separate livery.

   • 9.4. Pricing is set at a maximum of 1500 credits.

   • 9.5. Teams with a racecraft supplier (customer teams) are exempt from Section 9.

Resources | Recommendations

1. OBS and Medal are typically used to record runs for submission.

2. To edit your recordings, editing software such as Resolve and Premiere are utilized.

   • 2.1. If you want to stick to online resources, I find that this website works well.

   • 2.2. If you need to compress your video to upload it onto Discord, use 8mb.video.

3. The usage of Phase 3 lighting is recommended for maps like Mirage & SRD, where lighting can be inconsistent.

   • 3.1. Please utilize Bloxstrap to achieve this.
