+An additional benefit of design skills is a small boost to corresponding specs and ratings for your component or vehicle design. The designer awards the bonus points at no additional slider position costs, making it a free improvement to your designs.
+Check out the Game Mechanics chapter for how the game generates ratings and specs, and look for the design skills variables in those formulas.

 ===== How to Increase Design Skills? =====
+Now that you know what design skills are for, how do you improve them?
 ==== Designing Vehicle and Components ====
+The primary growth factor of design skills is designing designs. It is also the primary cause of design skill decline.
+The game takes the average overall rating of your chassis, engine, and gearbox designs made in the last five years and compares them against your current design skills. If the average ratings of your design are greater than your skills, your skills will increase a limited amount. If your average ratings are less, your design skills will go down a limited amount.
+The game uses the average overall, luxury, and safety ratings for their corresponding vehicle skills. It also looks at your designs over the last five years.
+You do not need to use your design in a vehicle, nor do you need to sell them. However, you must complete the design process for the game to count them.
+The game caps design skills to a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 100.
+For a more detailed explanation of the formulas involved, see the [[gamemanual:gm_skills_image|Skills and Image]] page in the Game Mechanics manual.
