GTPlanet Automaker Simulator: CYOCC 2 (Idiot GM kills game)

[Carmain2K]

I don't fully understand this. Am I paying best quality for my parts or lowest quality ATM?

I think, if I read what you're question was correctly, you are paying or the lowest base quality atm, but that does not mean it will be the lowest quality (but there is still a 1/15 chance). Paying more simply improves your odds of a better car part.

Wot he said. You have built the things, and that's all. Could get zip, could get perfection.

For some reason I'm very nervous about this Sunday.

For some reason I'm very nervous about this Sunday.

I have a new model reveal and a new trim reveal coming up.

 

[DurWinning]

I have a new model reveal and a new trim reveal coming up.

That (while that could screw me over later when I start selling in the USA) isn't what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about is the profits.

 

[Driving Park]

I'm the most worried about having my one car nerfed by abysmal rolls.

EDIT: Also, I have a couple of questions.

1. I noticed there's no Convertible body style in the OP. Will there be one or should we take it as another Coupe body style? And will there be distinctions for smaller, 2-seat Roadsters and larger, 4-seat Cabriolets? Retractable hardtops? Targas? Etc.
2. Along those lines, would it require another Coupe body style cost to introduce a 2+2 coupe to a lineup already consisting of a 2-seat coupe?

I'm also in the process of adding a bunch more minutiae to my company sheet. CS's are fun.

 

[Aesthetics]

Mine too...

Anyways, since we're "rendering" our cars..

Here's the 2015 Blackhawk Talon Coupe Turbo. (Rolls right off the tongue, )

Edit: Added the prices for all 4 Trim Levels.

 

[Jahgee]

Set the price for the Asterope

Just to clear some confusion about dice rolls: When you roll with 1 dice, you have equal chance to get 1-6 (1:6), but as you add more dice the probability changes so that you'll have the highest chance to get the sum for which there are most combinations. With 3 dice, the most likely outcome is 10 or 11 (the odds to get 10 or 11 are 54:216), while getting 3 or 18 is highly unlikely (the odds to get 1 or 18 is 2:216).

This means that the quality of most parts will be somewhere in the middle, around 8 to 13 (or 5 to 10 since the numbers are then subtracted by 3), while higher quality parts (and complete failures) will be more rare.

(The graph above shows the outcome of 1000 simulated rolls with 3 dice, repeated 10 times)

And this brings the interesting question about R&D: Is it worth it? Well, if you only do one level of R&D (adding 15% to the development cost) you only have 0.5% chance of it actually helping, which means it's an expensive insurance against something that's extremely unlikely to happen. Of course, with every extra level of R&D you do (adding 15% to the cost for every level) the higher the chance gets that it will actually be useful. Once you pass the middle of the spectrum it's rather likely that it will help, but then you'll also need to weigh the benefits against the cost (it costs 120% extra to reach the middle, which means you car will be more than twice as expensive to make).

L400's prices are set. Company balance explained.

 

[BKGlover]

For all doing multiple trims and cars in different factories, start getting your production divisions ready for when I open up convos.

[Tunerguy21]

Prices set and expendatures adjusted for R200 and R300 for all trim levels.

(Someone please double check the expendatures. Added some extra "R&D"; want to make sure I calculated it correctly.)

 

[GranTurismo916]

Prices and descriptions for Themis "L" and "LS" and Hemera "L" and "LS" trims have been added.

 

[Jahgee]

Gonna develop the BeeJay XL as soon as I can afford to

In case nobody has figured it out yet, my rendering of the Booneville was a Mazda 6 combined with a Ford Taurus and given a split grille. Using paint.

I'm trying to think of cars I can use for the GTO.

I noticed that. Well done, in true GTA style.

I've been occasionally looking for concept cars to use a basis for the Backdraft.

I don't think I could've pulled that off even in Photoshop. 👍

Anyways, for the GTO, maybe a CTS-V with some other front? I don't really know.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Since we're doing renders and I was bored...

Aquila Motors is revealing the breathtaking styling of the Aquila Ace for the first time!

It's really sloppy, but if you stand back and use a lot of imagination it looks okay.

 

[eran0004]

Fuchs AG releases a picture of the newly developed Mk I model. The retro design language and the cheap pricetag will hopefully make this compact sports coupe a popular choise.

[BKGlover]

I apologize for not having everything done yet, still working right now though. I did remember someone asking about Convertibles, and after some thought I'm making it a 100cr option.

Well. I think when the time is right I'll make a Luxor Spyder.

Upon thinking about it, I think I need to clarify somethings. Turbos, Superchargers, Diesel, Tandem Axels, and the new Convertible/Roadster option are all additions to the part is correlates to. How this works in theory is that you buy these and they bolt on to the part, making a new variant. The problem I have thought of is that once the upgrades have been made on a normal part, what happens when you take a level 3 NA V8 and bolt a turbo on? No upgrades, no problem, but when upgrades come up, I've decided that adding these extras will not require buying the engine again, but upgrades would not carry over.

EDIT: Thought about the cost of upgrades. Upgrades will be a percentage of the part and the add-ons, so a Turbo V8s base price is 700cr, upgrades will start there.

I did, as well as 2+2 vs. 2-seat coupes.

Looks like the Backdraft will be getting a roadster version soon.

 

[BKGlover]

That's right. As for the rest, no additions for them, use them for flavor in the descriptions.

 

[Aesthetics]

Might as well add a convertible trim to the talon, with it's like 4 trim levels.
