That is a lot of DNFs, making results hard to understand. For example, Sato is fast but that podium looks like F1 Baku 2017
As for tables, I think it would be easier to read results if you copied them to excel and format it in columns.
Also, could you use full names for drivers?
In the end, the most important, how does this affect 2017, do we again choose deivers or we keep them and can buy/sell? Do we have any impact on chassis/engine?

 

[rubaru]

Yeah. Not sure what to do with this now. Not sure what role we have in your game either, aside from putting together three drivers.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Yeah, could you at least capitalise the first letter of the driver's surnames and write the team owner for each driver please.

sorry I cannot use full name
yes you need to choose driver again
and you can Upgrade your chassis for 3 times in the full game

for the chassis upgrade, you can only upgrade the own made chassis
customer chassis is not allowed to upgrade

 

[rubaru]

We have customer chassis? What that?

 

[Jimlaad43]

Why?

 

[bosco lam]

We have customer chassis? What that?

to Simulate the dominance of March in the 1980s and that of lolas in the 90s. and also in the full game customer chassis is mandory starting from 1997...

@bosco lam
1) For full name or just capital first letter, I don't understand why you can't use it?
2) As for owned chassis, is there a money involved? Or we can just upgrade whenever we like? Which will lead to everyone going for maximum upgrade all the time.
3) If we are just picking drivers for every season without any bidding or some rules (or even having any clue who has what skill), I can make you simple random script that will generate 11 teams with 33 drivers from the list and that's it. I don't see what's our role in the game (as said above).

 

[bosco lam]

yes in the cost of 450 points per upgrade

so can you make me the random picking program?

 

[Sasha Jednak]

Don't take this the wrong way, but I wasn't really serious with it. That would just take away a part of our (players) role in the game. And players should be the main goal for the game. All these suggestions and question we give you, are in order to help to make the game good as forum game.
As for points for upgrades, those are the ones that we win in races, right? 200 for win and so on... So that means for example: if I win in 3 seasons then I have enough points for 1 upgrade?

 

[TTupsi]

Yeah, I concur with others that you need to a lot more preparation to have a successful run with this. You really have to think what us as players get out of this if picking random drivers is all there is to it. Having the driver names written right would be nice as well, as well as answering to our questions before going ahead and running the races (e.g. about Stroll's eligibility).

Don't take this wrong, it's just a helpful hint. You can make this work but first you need properly written rules and info so that everyone knows what they are signing up for.

 

[bosco lam]

Ok i will consider it for the full game
BTW 2017 will be on saturday

 

[rubaru]

Do you want to update us with any procedure or rule changes so we can help with the evolution of your game?

 

[bosco lam]

Ok but when in the full game

 

[Sasha Jednak]

What he means is, it would be the best to do already these next test races with proposed changes. That way all of us can see how that works and change it before starting the game for real. That's why this is TEST run, to test different things.

P.S. Trust me, I know how it is when failing with game, been there done that. I spent a lot of time thinking about rules and setting everything up. But after setting a thread here and getting feedback from players, all went super fast and I got much better game then I could plan myself.Unfortunately, I had to call it off due to lack of time to run it.

 

[rubaru]

@bosco lam he is right. We want you to succeed. We are a fraternity here!! I say update your game and test it here again. Maybe ask us for more to do like setting up skills and upgrades soon.

 

[bosco lam]

guys, the 2017 race would be on 6th of april. it is because my dad would not let me use computer starting tomorrow due to exam. and the exam end at 3th April...

 

[rubaru]

Good luck on the exams!!!
