Re: Are The Penalties Too High?

The penalties are fine. What you don't do is tell your alliance partner to not hit an opponent in the loading zone and then go do it yourself. This angers people like me. Play a fair game. Push, shove, race, but steer clear of what you know is wrong.

The practices matches are there for you to fine tune your driving and get used to a competitive, fast-paced game that requires split-second decision making in order to avoid the penalties. In two days, I committed only one 10pt penalty [accidentally]. Had I been a careful driver, I not only would've not committed the penalty, I would've picked up the tetra faster. In the end, I was to blame. Not the rules.
