[quote]The current energy/overdrive system bothers me. It means players will have to manually share energy structures when allies are Estalling and that overdrive is active even when excessing metal while low on energy. [/quote]Do you mean it still bothers you? Manually sharing energy has always been useful because the tax system was very inconsistent. Overdrive has always been active when excessing metal on low energy. The equation is unchanged for 1v1 and the difference for teamgames is:

I prefer the current system because the energy for overdrive in teams is now exactly the same as in the 1v1 case. Sharing between allies is achieved by the fact that a stalling player will have empty storage as well as reduce the total spare energy of the team.

The energy system lets players store a seconds worth of spending for smoothness purposes. That is why Player 1 can have 550 energy.
