CTC - Car Tycoon Challenge #3 [RESULTS]

[Janekk]

xwing's car would have done really good even without Trackday customers, it just wouldn't have been so overpowered.

Hey that was a joke, if it's within rules it's fair game. I'm happy with my 3rd place.

[xwing]

Wooohoooo, I'm a billionaire! Too bad devs are fixing the too high sportiness (too high? I had over 1500hp and 1:1 hp:kg ratio in 2003, that has to generate some insane sportiness score!), guess I will have to break something else in the game for the next challenge Truth is the car would not be very viable after the next patch fixing reliability, because my engine really likes to burn after a few miles. Or explode. But the windscreen wipers work flawlessly and that is all my customers care about! (I tried increasing the reliability, but it didn't help my score much and increased costs significantly)
Also surprised I got a lot of GT sales, didn't expect that. I tried to do a GT first, but found out it was much easier to increase supercar score so I made a dedicated supercar. And then found out about the trackday sales

I'm not sure revealing the score was a good idea. It helped with finding weak spots (found out about the track day score purely by accident just by trying to change some numbers), but I think it took away some of the fun. And I couldn't force myself not to use it because I though everyone else will be using it to minmax their cars

Strop: your car is actually better on the airfield track, mine makes around 1:18

P.S.: here is the car lua, for everyone to play with

Lulz, I fucked up. I didn't even earn anything with my car.

Well, people have been complaining. It's better for transparency.

Of course it was a good idea. It's better to have people work there way into the exploits than some random dude with some random car with ZERO sportiness making a top selling hot hatch.
At least this time the winner of the track day has top sportiness.


Also, thanks for the car. I keep making <2000HP cars they never have stats to match.

[Der Bayer]

I showed that there just was no proper Hot Hatch last time. So stop complaining.

I showed that there just was no proper Hot Hatch last time. So stop complaining.

And I'm saying that with the scorecalc I would have noticed that before submitting.
Also, having more transparency also help to get everyone's feedback on the calculations.

Also, since you are reworking the calcs. I have a sugestion. Why not have a separate stat just for transport capacity. Because as is the TP class favors 5 seaters over 2 seaters. Because utility is higher with 5 seaters.
In the future with the pick up body. It won't have an high utility but it should be the best transport because it will almost certainly have the biggest cargo capacity.
Also having a transport capacity stat you can tailor de classes even better.

[Der Bayer]

Cargo volume currently is not affected by the number of seats. And you cannot choose 2 seats for example in the van body. I don't know if it currently would make much sense.

Thanks Der Bayer, it was fun as always.

D'Oh!!!!! I'm gonna fire someone.......

[Trollercoaster]

Great success for the F.I.L. Citid PT!

One of the best compact cars and transporters.
The owners of a F.I.L. Citid PT can be proud to own one of best and universal cars in the current world of 2003. No3 choice for hot hatch!

@PMP1337: Transport is like a person transporter i say. Not van-transporter or pickup cargo truck.

@Der bayer: thanks for this awesome challenge, good that someone introduced me to here. I will look forward to next!!!

It's not?
Then never mind. I'm gonna go bitch to the developers instead.

Norman is sitting at the table, elbows on it and the face hidden by the palms of his hands. It would be complete darkness if the small lamp beside his desk wasn’t on.
He’s repeating a sentence, over and over "The price didn't matter so much... the price didn't matter so much... damn... the price didn't matter so much..."

[Reaper392]

Considering I made my car very quickly and that the one market I was aiming for was broken, I'm really happy with my result.
Can't wait for the next round, any ideas on the year?

(I'm honestly not complaining about the mistake in the figures, you have about a billion numbers to balance, some of them are bound to be slightly off)

[Frankschtaldt]

Bummer, another loss!
Oh well, you live and learn. On to no 4!

[syko1220]

Well, considering this is the first one i've participated in, I guess i'll just learn from my mistakes and make quite a few improvements...#4 it is!
