Barrel roll question:

I guess this is for colin, For HD will that not being able to barrel roll with other ships around still be in? If so, is there another way to implement it without the 50-50 chance it might work? If not, it would probably be better without it. The reason I ask is I personally like trying to get good times in single race as well, and in order to do so, this means you need to get into first immediately, to get the BR to work.
Also, is there any work being done on the BR for pulse as a download and/or in US version? I know this has been worked on, but that is really frustrating when doing the move correctly and nothing(and actually slowing down a little because of the inputs).

Maybe ditch it for SR?
