Personally id prefer the walls to give to a real minor bounce away from them. Anything to stop a meer glance turning into a ruined race.

I think in a nutshell id like:
* invite function
* skin creator (HD clipart would make for very quick and eask skins surely?)
* eliminator mode (each lap last place is eliminated), as well as many other modes suggested in many other threads.
* tournament times to count towards records, so in turn should be able to view records during tournaments.
* better records for teams as well as pilots. I want to see which team has the most wins, or the highest % of wins per player etc
* sort out auto piloting dodgy pathing
* barrel rolls should remove health as a % as supposed to set amount, so lower shield teams arent hindered in races with no weapons.
* Ag Systems should have their shield minorly reduced.
* sort out the auto respawn, you cant be allowed to skip some corners and not others. either do them all or not at all in my opinion...
* More diverse track design, time of day, and weather effects.
* The pilot assist should turn your ship away from walls instead of just pusing you away, it would then actually help new players as supposed to just be a bit of a joke. Ever got stuck on the anulpha pass bridge its hilarious!
