Poll : Should single seaters have their own licence?

Closed since :
Seperate: Single Seaters on a Seperate Licence

I am useless at driving tin tops, but pretty handy in the single seaters, especially the FO8.

Why should I have to complete Bronze & Silver in a car I do not like just so I can drive a car that bears a different licence, and is not related to tin tops in any way?

Should be completely separate IMO. Also, MRT needs to be included somewhere. Perhaps that could be used alongside LX4 as a parallel entry level car?

My idea was, that you prove your ability to drive by acquiring a license first (n00b-prevention)

I wish there was a seperate server for MRTs with layouts on it, cause MRTs can get pretty boring on tracks with more than 300m straights - which is almost all tracks
the MRT is a lot of fun at the club-tracks like they are at fern-bay and aston.
and its even fun at most of the other fe-tracks...

also had some great league races at aston-club and the south-city courses with it

after all its just kyoto and the longer aston tracks (up from national) where
the MRT is completly senseless.

I agree - we had some great racing in these in the OWRL Christmas Championship eh m8 - very competitive lol
Separate. There are very different skills involved in each class, and someone who's gold in TBO might be a total n00b to the FO8.
I say same lisence. I'm finding it hard to get my lisence status up. more cars to race with would help me avoid the noobs more quickly. we could have a bronze only server with FOX or something.

I've voted for separate too. And I also think a MRT -> FOX -> FO8 -> BF1 progression would be great. Looking forward to it!
I don't understand one thing!

Is this separate license for:
Formula servers (MRT, FOX, FO8, BF1)
or GTR servers (UFR, XFR, FXR, XRR, FZR)
#84 - Jakg
Formula, the GTR's aren't single seaters
I would like to see different licenses for the openwheelers. Reason I say this is becasue the hardcore openwheel racers don't drive,(nor like) the TBO cars. I think it would be neat to start over with these openwheelers, and see a new crowd go for the highest rank (myself included.)

I would like to see everyone go through the MRT first. When I first got LFS the MRT taught me to be fast, and great car control. This transferred over to me adapting well to every other car in the game easily!

I truely believe that when people give the MRT a chance, and actually learn the car, they will love it.

So true. And the skills you learn make you faster in the other SSs.
Quote from CELTIC100 :PS. have you considered duel bottom tier as in the STCC 1a and 1b - as one could run FOX and the other MRT although the FOX mabe the favourite the MRT does have a following also and i'm sure both servers would be a great success

I really love this idea
I've done some experimenting with the MRT online recently, and i've concluded that the place for the MRT is not on the bottom tier because I really dont want to have to deal with all the reports that it will generate.

I will likely use the FO8/MRT/BF1 on some kind of within server rotation, rather than setting up separate servers for each class.

I dont really think the MRT should be in same class as F08, FOX and BF1 i really think you should have MRT in different class of its own and then F08 and FOX together on a rotation and then the BF1 on its own. I am very interested in this myself.
What about now with the preload setting? The MRT is way easier to drive now.....
My opinion on the matter is 2 beginner servers, one for the FOX and and one for the MRT and 1 rotating between FO8 & BF1.

+1

Quote from KMSpeed :and 1 rotating between FO8 & BF1.

-1 FO8 and BF1 are too different imho
I know that, but since Becky wanted 2 servers only, 1 for FOX and 1 for MRT/FO8/BF1 rotating, I proposed this solution as a huppy compromise.

I guess the best would be four servers, 1 for each car but money is an issue here specially if we count in and all the other servers she's running.
There will be 3 to 4 servers, probably 3. However, not a single person will be happy with the exact selection of cars, tracks, licence levels and driver aids... That's the beauty of a free society . What I hope, is that you all enjoy it.
I'm for 4 servers. 2 beginners (1 mrt (new and bronze) and 1 fox (new and bronze) and FO8 (silver) and BF1 (gold)
P.S.: I know there will be different licences its just to imagine
Becky, you are aware that the mrt5 is S1 content, are you? as I see it, because of the challenge it poses for many drivers it will never be as popular to fill a 28 slot server. so having another s1 server with 15 or 16? slots would make a good compromise and would also make Scawen happy
it seems that becky is abit afraid that the new server´s will not get that
popular as the old ones are.

maybe she´s right and the FOX should be the car to start-of with on the beginner server.

but: i think the beginner-wrecking-reports won´t be less with the FOX
instead of the MRT

my suggestion is: every car gives you points on every server at every time
of you licence.

maybe some drivers want to driver FOX over and over, even with a higher licence... maybe some drivers just want to race the FO8... whatever.

the points maybe different. FOX = 1x, FO8/MRT = 2x, BF1 = 3x.
