So after a year of the community begging for sparrow racing, Bungie finally gave it to us in the form of the SRL event. Now, I am not saying that the SRL event should become permanent. But what I am saying is that Bungie should at least re-add the racing playlist to the crucible as a permanent event. That is the basics of what I think should happen with it, but some other oarts would be nice as well;
[b]Revamp of the Shipmaster[/b]
Amanda Holiday has been working for the tower for the same length as every other original NPC, yet she is the only one to date to never receive a permanent change to her inventory at least once. I say that Sparrow racing should gain it's own faction (aka the Amanda Holiday faction), which levelling up in it allows players to access a new range of ships, sparrows, shaders and a set of armour that is styled on the SRL armour. The faction would be levelled by completing SRL and by turning in bounties for Amanda Holiday to gain rep. At each level up we are presented with a level up package, which has a chance of containing one of her items.
[b]Return of SRL[/b]
The second part to my idea is that SRL should become monthly, like Iron Banner. We have all the set up for it anyways, so why not? The gear would be changed to match the new inventory of Amanda Holiday and there would be a chance at max light level gear by achieving max level in the event. However this would not interfere with Iron Banner, instead it would be spaced a week after Iron Banner has taken place.

Bungie's silence with SRL is downright disingenuous. And playing coy on a past activity that involved buying a book for silver is insulting to say the least. Bring back SRL or say something about it at least!
-
I agree. I just need to do it to get a exotic bounty done.
-
Next SRL should be with ships instead.
-
Agree it makes no sense it hasn't returned

Edited by Saxifraga: 4/3/2016 9:52:28 PMThe lazy Bungie devs should make at least three more tracks and make it a permanent activite. All that time gating is retarded.
-
It would be nice as a permanent addition. I was talking with my buddies the other day about how it would be awesome to take a break from killing and go race whenever we would like to. It breaks up the gameplay and keeps things interesting.
-
For all we know they could be working on more tracks. As that's the only problem with the original version of srl.
-
Wait until next week. Bungie has more update and news about sandbox and the crucible as well as weapon and subclass tweaks. SRL should be monthly like IB for sure.
-
Right, I have a chaperone quest to finish lol
-
Yes. With more tracks too. And how about power ups? On a side note, when I went to Holliday, the SRL reputation meter was still there. Does this mean anything?

Edited by elemenopee: 4/2/2016 12:51:53 AMI like the idea of SRL rep becoming based with Amanda, we definitely need a more reliable way of earning new sparrows and ships
-
Edited by bobswerski: 4/1/2016 1:08:49 PMNot saying it [u]is[/u] coming back, but technically it is crucible, and they aren't going to talk about crucible until next week, so you don't really know yet.
-
I really like the idea, i hope bungie listens to this. Even if it is just for destiny 2.
-
I definitely loved SRL even with just two tracks it was easily one of my favorite racing experiences.
-
They put so much work into srl. it needs to come back
-
Bump. I agree with everything except I would really just like srl to be permanently around. As well as all the other PvP modes. But especially srl.
-
Edited by Tomato Gravy: 4/1/2016 7:07:45 PMYes......it should be one week a month at least. Cannot see how there could be any downside to this. Other than the obvious thing.........that bungie is just spacing it out to maximize the sales of their rip off record books when it comes back.
-
GO PLAY MARIO CART !! THIS IS A SHOOTING GAME !! :-) (sorry...just feeling snarky today)
-
Remove all 300+ gear from srl
-
I was telling my friend about it yesterday and he said that it sounded awesome and fun. But then I said that I didn't know when it was coming back...they really should put it in with the other rotating crucible playlist. Or maybe every week that Iron Banner is not available
-
Agreed .. at least it's something different.
-
Loved sparrow racing and would love to see it return in any way
