The current trading system allows trading in shares as well buying out and taking full control of other companies which is cool but I think there's an interesting option that has been overlooked.

Most modern car companies either own or are owned by another, yet the majority of them behave as independent entities only trading components to save research costs.

It would be cool to emulate this in some way.

Not sure how it would work but I'm picturing it as buying out a marque like it currently works but not taking control of all of their assets or their R&D and they gain the cash from the buyout to spend on developing new vehicles and building new factories/branches. Both marques would gain full access to each other's components but would have to design their own vehicles. In return, the owner would get a cut of the subsidiarys profits.

Perhaps their could also be a way for one member of the group to make its unused factory lines available to other members of a group and possibly some kind of branch sharing mechanism as well.

This could also make it possible for a players failing company to be rescued by a more successful AI marque buying them out and allowing them to trade as an independent subsidiary. Perhaps there could also be a way for the player to buy back their company later on if they manage to turn around their fortunes.]]>

I think it would be worth giving the wheels a default position on all models. So, the player selects their base model and then the wheel style they want and *BAM!* all four wheels are placed in location that works. Then allow the player to modify the wheel size and track width etc from there.

Perhaps have a toggle-able lock so the player can't accidental move the wheels as well but has to option to do so if they really want?]]>

I am not sure if you are thinking about adding big rigs at some point but I think it would be a great addition. It would really set apart this game from any other car/car company games. I do not know a single game where you can modify a tractor trailer, let alone create one.

This would open doors to maybe even full-sized pick-up trucks, buses, RVs, cargo trucks, and more (if you can think of any).]]>

Putting a tire at the center of a bar is not so simple

I will consider to put some "suggested" fixing point for accessoris, with, of course, still the freedom to change position.]]>

You should know what Hot Seat Multiplayer is, you are a gamer after all.

I also know that if done correctly, with user passwords in the multiplayer, and movable and copyable save games, we could also play by Email, which increases the fun of the game.

If you're already doing multiplayer, that's great!
If it's planned, that's great!
If it's not planned, you should consider it.
If it's never going to be in the game, that's fine, it's not a deal breaker for me.

Thanks for your time.]]>
