Re: Which Gearbox Should I Use?

You need more quantifiable goals for the drivetrain. When you can put things in numbers, it's much easier to choose. For example, the calculator that thatprogrammer posted has a rough calculation on time it would take to cover a certain distance at every gear ratio. If it was 2013, a logical choice would be to pick your high gear to minimize the time between the feeder station and your shooting location. If it was 2014, what distance would you want to cover in the least amount of time? Or would there be some other factor that you would want to maximize your drivetrain toward? There is no correct answer; it is both dependent on the game and your strategic choices for the game.
