I've set up its own community: !ballisticng@sopuli.xyz

The plan is make the occasional relevant post, but long-term I'm thinking of hosting online sessions, and perhaps eventually even run some tournaments if we can get the racers together for that.

As AG racing can have a giant big skill-gap, I would also be nice facilitate the tutoring of new players, and if there are enough of us, divide players into different "leagues" by skill level.

It might be fun to track race results over a longer time as well, and have a sort of lemmy-leaderboard :D

If participating in any of that sounds appealing, come join us!

A look at how Survival mode plays with the new Barracuda Model S variant in the 2280 update!

The 2280 update is going to be bringing new variants of most ships in the game.

It's pretty solid already, lookin forward to the full release

BallisticNG is pretty much what introduced me to WipeOut rather than the other way around, ironically. It can only be described as a passion project. By default, it plays like the classic PS1 games, but there are options which make it handle like the more "modern" WipeOut titles. Steam Workshop support + purpose-built track and ship editors mean it's a very community driven game, too, so people have recreated a huge chunk of Wipeout's track library alongside a lot of totally new tracks. I really wish it was better-known because I think it's the perfect hub for the few WipeOut players left standing.
