Out of nowhere a voice was heard
Unknown voice:welcome to vineta k!
As the pilots get ready for the race they were also shown how the weapons work
Missile (Multi-Missile in Wipeout 3) - A smart missile that can be fired instantly for a ricochet effect, or locked-on for a more accurate shot at the competition.
Rockets - Forward-firing projectiles that work effectively at close-range. Depending on game, ships can shoot up to three at a time. In Wipeout 2048, Speed ships fire one Rocket, Agility ships fire two and Fighter ships fire three.
Plasma (Plasma Bolt in Wipeout Fusion) - A dark energy weapon that surges across the track, causing heavy damage to anything on its path. It does not lock-on or bounce off walls.
Quake (Quake Disruptor in Wipeout Fusion) - A high-power seismic earthquake shockwave weapon that blazes its way down the track with a fierce and explosive momentum. In Wipeout 2048, this weapon is available to Fighter and Agility ships only.
Mines - A quintet of floating mines that can be dropped vertically or horizontally. In WipEout Fusion, you can drop a single mine at a time instead of deploying all of them in a single sequence. In Wipeout 2048, Speed and Agility ships carry this weapon instead of Bombs.
Bomb (Thunder Bomb in Wipeout 2097; Gravity Bomb in Wipeout Fusion) - A high-grade wide-radius explosive that causes a devastating explosion that can harm nearby opponents. In Wipeout Fusion, it disrupts the anti-gravity generators on all craft within the blast radius. In Wipeout 2048, Fighter ships only use this weapon instead of Mines.
Turbo - Activates a temporary boost that can be used to go through the pack, over a jump, or out of harm's way. Can be used, with the right timing, to evade a Quake. In Wipeout 3, this power-up did not appear and it was replaced by a Hyperthrust booster that will consume some shield energy when used.
Shield - A protective energy shield that, when activated, makes the ship invulnerable to weapons or collision damage for a brief period.
Auto Pilot - Activates a professional simulated pilot for a few seconds. In Wipeout 2048, activating an Autopilot will make your craft go faster and activate a Shield whilst navigating you through the toughest corners.
They were also shown the rules
In races (other than in Wipeout), the shield energy indicates how much damage the player's ship can sustain before being destroyed, depending on the ship's shield or health rating. This deteriorates by getting hit by weapons, hitting the wall or an opponent ship, or falling off the track. Barrel rolls also cost a portion of shield energy (depending on the ship's shield rating in Wipeout Pure, 8% in Wipeout Pulse, 15% in Wipeout HD/Fury), even if failed. When the shield energy is below 20%, there will be a warning message – "Energy Critical". There will be also a beep sound, which becomes faster when the shield energy is below 5%. If the shield energy drops to zero (and the ship gets hit once more), the ship will explode, resulting in the player being eliminated from the race. However, in online multiplayer races in Wipeout HD/Fury, eliminated players will respawn with a few energy instead. It is also possible to win a race by eliminating all the opponents.
Last they were shown the speed class
phantom class
Phantom class was developed for the 2097 F5000 League season, bringing the sport to extraordinary speeds never before seen. Unfortunately, the speed was too much for the pilots, and the class was banned a few years later. The class returned in the F7200 League, but was more controllable.
Phantom class is the fastest, and the hardest class. This class brings out the full power of an AG craft, reaching speeds of over 700 km/h. Pilots that can race at these speeds must be experts at craft control and have extensive knowledge of the tracks if he has any hope in finishing, let alone in first place.
As the crafts were on the voice appeared again
Unknown voice:ready. Go!!
As it said go the crafts went on starting with a.j(applejack) and jack with a starting boost to top ranks(1st,2nd,you get the point)
