As for the newest patch, the LFS crew threw in the "cruise server" option (even though cruise servers have existed longer). This got me thinking... What if someone made an RP type server, more or less cruise, but with more options, like having a Job, special income (for jobs..), welfare income and so on? It would be more than regular cruising, and using special addons serverside, would spice the cruisers/RP'ers life up a bit.
SUGGESTIONS on what to have in a Addon:
-Jobs (As stated above, but within the jobs there would be different "ranks", so there is one manager, sub-manager and so on... higher the rank, higher the pay)
- Specialized cars (no, not tweaked ones :P but some cars are restricted to pepole with a specific job/rank. Say, a player is a high paid-high-ranked person, that can use cars like LX6, RAC and FZ5. A middle-class player can use FXO, RB4 and LX4, and low paid workers can use XRT, XRG and XFG. Pepole on Welfare can use the UF1000. (GTR class cars can only be used by pepole with a Racing-License.)
-Licences. (To qualify for a job, you need to prove that you can do it. for "desk jobs" this is not needed, but when you are a delivery boy, or even Car Tester, a Licence have to be issued for you to be able to do the job. The manager jobs should be the Admin(s) on the specific server, but can be given to TRUSTED players. the managers keep an eye when players try to get licences, so he does not speed, or drive incorrectly. For the "supercars" (Fz5 ETC), a licence also need to be issued, but only by a driving instuctor, watching how the player drives)
-police ( yes, as well as Cruise servers, i belive this need a cop solution. also trusted players. cadets can be as a tryout)
- Money income. ( i feel that car prices should be more like real life, but money income is larger. 20,000$ is a reasonable price for a XRT for example. staying within the speed limit gives most cash, 0$ when over 10 mph over.
-Layouts( layouts can be more or less similar to the exsiting cruise layouts, but if there is car testers, mabye a little track made for exactly that somewhere along the route?)
-Food Needs ( Why not have a food seller, that sells different foods for a price, and drivers need it, or their cars stop)
Come with input! Comments, or other thoughts
and if many is intrested, mabye a good soul out there wants to code it? im not a coder/addon maker myself, but i would like too see this come to life... Although ive seen some of these suggestions before, i think that with a little more development, this could work
