Re: Did Lunacy really level the playing field?

But no matter what the game was the larger teams would have an advantage in terms of the driver. There's no way to set up a game to change that.

With regards to the human player they put that in to keep the field balanced. Leveling the playing field means having a game that favors no side. Like you said vets had a larger talent pool in terms of payload specialists, but theoretically their drivers were also put at a disadvantage due to the field (more so then the rookies as it was different than what the vets were used to).

Thanks jpmittins, same to you ^_^
