Hi!
I have an idea!
When there is a new model of car / train / plane / boat to organize an auction for one who will test?

when it voted to lift a hand up

sorry for my English

Thanks

Nice idea but i cant see much demand for it so you had better code it yourself if you want it

I like the idea, too. However, I'm afraid that this would mean that all AI scripts would have to be changed so that they can handle auctions.

i don't see "real time" auctions working very well in the game....

The only way i can see auctions working would be:
everyone deemed sutible (i.e. high enough company value, not banned because of not using a previous prototype) writes a number into a couvert, and the highest bidder is announced the next month and gets the prototype.

Maybe this feature should be at first in single player and later with enhanced options in multiplayermode.

Anyway I like that idea:
bidding for new trams, bus and planes
bidding for insolvency of companys
and so on.
