Hi Jack
Can you please confirm how initial design points are allocated. From what I've read to date it is linked to the ability of the CD.
But are there also bonus points for top constructors in previous season?
If so this is really causing an imbalance in the leagues. E.G. Last season in The MJL Elite league I came second, at the end of the season I was L14 Manager (now L15) with a L14 CD. The total design points allocated to my cars for Australia was 499, which was approximately 150 more than the majority of the rest of the league. At the beginning of the season only one team had more points than me, the elite champion from last season who is a L16 Manager with a L20 CD!!!
We are two races into the current season and three teams, (last season's champion, me and last season's promoted Pro champion) are so far ahead of the remainder of the field the game has lost some of its magic.
We always knew the first season after cut-over was going to be a lottery but this is a new season. I know you're all busy at the moment but if other leagues are experiencing similar issues it might be something you want reasonably high up the priority list to fix because "in-race" banter is becoming strained... a number of people are getting mighty disillusioned.

Merged threads.
The next season Design is currently based on your Chief Designer's level, strength and weakness and applied after every race in the background. But I'm going to change the way it works so don't want to elaborate too much on it until I've implemented a more balanced design system on the whole.
@Jack : This is needed, to summarize in Kevin's league 3 teams started with 500 pts and more when all of the others got something like 355 pts at max .. I also noticed top 2 teams from previous season have more chances to start with this far higher design and the team which started with the highest design was the team which won pro the previous season, that happened 2 times for the MJL and the same happened in International GP & F1 leagues.
Don't complain... went from a 50's in every category to 30's for the new season. I would gladly start a season like that!!
Last season my highest was my Weakness: Braking 57, My Strength: Acceleration 34 the rest of the car was 40's
I was expecting the same or lower because Jack said he fixed a problem with design.

No won elite, promotion was season before winning pro
Ran away with the win in pro and ran away with it in elite something is not right somewhere, I was expecting to be finishing midfield after coming form pro to elite. then maybe this season grabbing the odd point or too and next season getting closer to the front but the system has other ideas lol
I have just got a new cd. my last designer in lvl 11 so got a new lvl12.
At the moment acceleration is green (turned green at 60)
Handling is grey (turned grey at 40)
Rest are red.
So I changed to the new lvl12 cd, now my handling is still rated the same number but is now red.
Why is that? and what impact does it have on next year design?
You have a higher design cap Paul that is why the colours changed
If you right click on the upgrade button and open in a new tab you will be able to see the page even though it's locked because you have no design points it tells the cap there

This is all going to be changing very soon as I said. It is only a matter of days now before I will have all the design changes implemented. This will include a total change of how next season designs work, and the ability to track progress on the next season design.

Well done Jack, let's hope whatever you implement isn't going to be hugely beneficial to only one or two teams. Let's get back to cunning strategies :-)
