I'm going to hope that this will let the business part run kind of on its own while I live in the shop making amazing cars. Of course that never works out in real life, which is why in real life there's accounts there that turn perfectly sound engineering decisions into crappy accounting decisions (IE there should never be a head bolt, only studs, ever but bolts are cheaper).

Automatics are for women and the disabled, they don't call it a MANual for nothing.

Re: Poll: What aspect of Automation are you most interested

I would say designing cars to be the most interesting thing.

Designing engines sounds very interesting as well, but I don't know much about the inner workings of engines. That will be a challenging part of the game at the beginning. It will be interesting to learn more about it as time goes by. :)

Time won't have to go by for long until you grasp the aspects of engine design... it's really well-explained in the game :)

Thats actually one of the aspects Im looking forward to. Im not as knowledgeable about cars as Id like so this will be almost as much an educational tool as game.






Ok, itll be far more of a game but it wont hurt that Ill be learning how some of this stuff effects performance. :)

Re: Poll: What aspect of Automation are you most interested

Whilst it is a little simplified in places, the results are pretty damned realistic most of the time, so you could learn a lot :)

Shame, there's no option for "being able to do the interesting part of my job without having to fill out Excel spreadsheets and attend endless meetings". Hopefully those parts aren't intended for a later expansion pack...

Re: Poll: What aspect of Automation are you most interested

I wouldn't mind getting skippable fiscal end-year powerpoints :P with all kinds of bar graphs and pie charts about how well your company is doing.

I'm coming into this as a player who is excited as hell about the game despite not being that educated on cars. I've hung out with friends and family who are a lot and I love Top Gear but otherwise I am a complete car luddite. I love simulation gaming though so hopefully this game can make me learn how stuff works better!
