Engine Manufacturer

I would like to stop engine manufacturing and look for a high level producer of engines. When starting developing my engine I had no reason to expect the upcoming existence of level 40 managers. So I wish I now had the possibility to stop producing my engine and look for a better one.

It really sucks that there are 10 more levels now. I was level 25. I had only 5 more levels to go ti have a maxed out engine and finally start getting customers. Now I have 15 more levels to do, I will never be able to get a profit from my engine 

Yes please let us do this or at least be able to stop using our engines yet still have to produce them for our customers if we have them

Pls someone look at this

This suggestion - like the point about 5% still being way too high for driver atrophy - seem like quick fixes both with the overwhelming support of players of the game. I hope that something can be done about it soon.

I'm just trying to get this back to the top of suggestions threat, because I think it is a really good idea and I'd like to see it implemented. It seems based on the poll that the majority are in favour too.

Personally, I think there should also be the option to remove search engine points, not necessarily to return them. For example, if I want to lower the weakness, I can remove points, which also reduces the strength.

I wouldn't mind that tbf, but I'd also like the idea of just stopping manufacturing one's own engine - without any sort of refund for the 100 million it costs and, if you wish to start again, it is for 100 million and from scratch with no engine points on any race

I had posted a suggestion similar to this last week. My suggestion though was to decouple the max engine pts from your level, similar to how drivers and staff have been decoupled from it. 

This way even a level  29 manager can still have level 40 engines once they are brought to that level. 

Good idea, since you cant get motor points for free, it costs a bunch of money or you need lots of patience to max out your engine. 


Maybe Jack could add motor points to the daily donuts. 

This would be a welcome change. Level 40 engines are way too strong. People who rely on other people’s engines have a huge advantage over people who are still upgrading their own engine as it takes an insane amount of time to reach level 40. I’m doing daily races for over a year now and I’m still level 28.

Thoughts?

My thought is that it would be nice to be able to stop manufacturing an engine and return to stock engines or get a customer supply from elsewhere

How about the customers of that engine?

What about you still have to manufacture your engine for your customers?

Yes and no. Yes, game should be long-term gain instead of easy grab. On the other hand, the tooltip info alone doesn’t give the full picture of how long it takes to upgrade an engine. So I can see scenario’s where people want to try it, not realising there’s absolutely no way out.

The choice should be clearer, it’s a big commitment in the game with big consequences, the development path for an engine should be crystal clear 

No one wants it to be easy but you can’t deny it’s just nonsense to have people grinding 3 years just to be able to get to level 40 and then have their engine maxed out. It would mean you have to wait 3+ years to be able to be competitive. It’s just too much.


I think removing the level cap is a fair trade to balance this feature. In exchange there might be people willing to spend money to max out their engine and immediately be competitive with their own engine.

It is something I would have to discuss with them, but as I race once a week it would be literal years before I become close to upgrading the engine. I would happily cease production and not get the 100m back if it meant I could seek other engines

This has nothing to do with wanting an easy ride. 

I am in a once a week league, I don’t remember what level I was when I decided to become an engine manufacturer, maybe 27. But I do know how far I was from 30 was a major factor on deciding if it was worth it. 

Had I know then that before I became level 30, which happened 2 weeks ago, they would add 10, I would not have done it. And now all that time and development is a huge disadvantage with no way to escape. Some of us have spent real $$ only to have a disadvantage we could not have predicted.

Honestly, this is why I have not become a chassis manufacturer. With the added levels it is way more beneficial to have people in daily league La scream all the way up the levels and help them develop a chassis I could use.
