Actually the car body does have effect on the vehicle stats. Aerodynamic drag is calculated and has various effects on fuel economy, acceleration, top speed etc. The figures need to be tweaked as with everything else of course...
That's useful to know, but i consider it a bit of a shame. Personally i don't enjoy designing vehicle bodies, so i was often just copying any vehicle design i had available to all of them and focusing on the parts of the game that interested me.
I don't expect you to change anything on my personal preference though, just to clarify.
Two questions, if you don't mind:
- Does the vehicle body design also effect any of the stats like comfort?
For example, if i make a super high end luxury vehicle with a roof and a average chassis but almost no headroom(height) in body design.
- If body design does effect the vehicle, what effect does it have on the AI vehicles which seem to always have no body design when i buy companies.
