One thing that would have made SRL better... (Destiny)

For the most part I've really enjoyed SRL. Not sure I would have played as much if I didn't have the chance to get 310-320 helmets and class items though. Overall, the majority of my complaints revolve around some weird physics in the game. So, in no particular order here are my suggestions.

- Make your rider/sparrow more visible. At the start of the race on Venus, whenever everyone hits that first s-turn, it's just a complete visual clusterf***. I can't tell you how many times I lost my sense of direction at the beginning of Venus. First person would fix this, but you could easily highlight the character in a subtle way also.

- The weird landings are just painful. A little rock being able to stop all forward momentum is so infuriating. Also, the explosions on landing are about as random as can be also. This is pretty much the same problem as when you die from jumping and landing on something on patrol or during regular missions. Guessing there are some weird geometry issues that cause this?

- The bumping is very bothersome, but mainly because the wild drivers seem to not be penalized for hitting someone. The idea about disabling collisions would work, but also take some of the chaos out of the game. Not really sure what my happy compromise would be.

- I really wish there was a system that would throw your guardian off the sparrow when you are spinning out of control. I had a race last night on Venus that I was leading from the start and never had anyone even on my radar from the first s-turn. I hit the last warp gate a little off or something and when I came out on the other side I proceeded to spin out of control for probably 8-10 seconds. This ended up costing me a race that had been a blow out. It would have been great to be thrown from the sparrow and forced to respawn instead of being stuck in an out of control spin I can do nothing about.

I'm sure there will be some other things I think of, but for now this will do.
