Incident points system

It would be nice some incident points system like the one iRacing has. You go off the track, you get x points. You crash, you get other x points, and so on until you reach an amount of points enough to get disqualified.

I think it would make public servers much cleaner, along with slow downs, minorating and SRS that we already have, although of course it could be optional to chose.

It may have been discussed already, but I didn't find any thread. What do you think? Would it be difficult to implement on the game?

 

That would be great! I dont think its osmething they will implement now but maybe if they do AC2.

I wonder if something like this would be possible to make for a modder.

 

Minorating, that's what it is there for.

edit: Going off track is a little difficult as you could be avoiding an incident/knocked off track. Even though I have knocked MR a few times, it has become more than acceptable if not necessary.

 

I know minorating and SRS (which recently came back to live!) have made things cleaner, as I mentioned. However, I mean a system within a race which counts the incidents you have and can disqualify you. And I also know that a system like this has some cons, like give you incident points when you are just hit by someone else and it's not your fault or, as you said, going off the track for safety reasons, but I think that the pros that it has would make it worth it. Because the system works. And, anyway, it wouldn't have to be for a server obligatory to run it.

 

Autokick is there.
Admins can set "MAX CONTACTS PER KM" in the server config

 

I saw it was implement in one of the last updates, and it is really a great step forward, but I don't think it is enough, as people don't see it so they cannot say 'hm, I gotta be careful if I wanna stay in this race". Also, it restarts each km, and don't count on off tracks etc.

Perhaps somethin like that but MAX CONTACT PER RACE and MAX OFF THE TRACK PER RACE and showing it on a message on the top of the screen, could be a great improvement.

 

Rating-wise MR does as good as it can. Implementing it directly and not as a plugin would have a couple of advantages as more access to data that is not shared which would allow for better analyzes of data possibly even at better performance. Basically less bottlenecks.

However, it's not strictly necessary. Public racing – at least AB – is mostly clean enough although it (in my opinion, as you know) be improved by doing some adjustments.
An implementation in AC directly wouldn't necessarily improve things, especially since I'm pretty sure that the AC devs would be even more conservative about the approach then Minolin already is (kicking people, excluding people etc.).
It's just that they are your customer and you have to be very careful about who you exclude from what and how.

 

I agree. However, I don't mean a general safety rating (which is minorating, which is awesome) but a limited number of incidents only and exclusively within a race before the disqualification (it's probably my fault as I didn't express my ideas correctly in English).

These ideas, anyway, aren't exclusive, but can work together and combine. The max contact per km is a great step forward, but I don't think that it awares people to drive carefully nor isn't enough, as it is per km and not the full race. This is just a suggestion to develop that feature in a way I think that works.
