I like the idea of some kind of lasting penalty for crashing often.

What Woz says makes sense.

The only problem is that any feasible method is liable to punish both the driver at fault and the one not at fault too!

You name it. I see this problem too. And I also see it as the ONLY problem. But I do believe that this will sort itself out a bit with time.

Quote from Stuffi :

Exactly like in real life? Can't remember last time a racer had to worry about repairing his car! In real life racers do have a crew, a manager and other staff members who should worry about repairing cars and stuff, the racer should only worry about finishing races and winning races!
As you can see this idea is quite discussable, the Racers-Squad is splitted here and therefore I don't think, that this will make it's way to S3!
Another thing is, how to attach this to the demo? Should this be an license-only feature?

In my opinion it's an idea everyone should think about, but nothing more, I would not want this feature to be in s3 or any other version of lfs! As already said, think about those crashes caused by lags, think about those crashes caused by noobs, because they haven't learned yet to break in time.
And as soon as any sort of currency make it's way to a game, you will be able to buy accounts on ebay.

Think about it!

exactly. you will have a slave... lol

and lose about a third of the profit from S3

Put it under a similar category to ethnic cleansing... there's far more of a pro than a con

Right for starters before i even say anything LFS is a racing simulator, TO SIMULATE RACING.

Imagine if an F1 driver had a damaged front wing and had to wait for credits to repair it? If you didn't have credits where would you wait? In the pitlane? IRL that wouldn't be safe either having about 5 cars waiting for credits whilst others are coming for pitstops.

Next time think about your idea, then think about it again, then again, then again and maybe we will avoid threads like this.

next time if you read about an idea, try to understand it first. think, think again, then again and maybe you'll avoid bashing aspects that do not exist.
