I think I speak for every mechanic when I say that standing on the ledge waiting for 2 mins of RP isn't particularly fun. There are members of LSC and I assume Bayview consistently leaving or stopping on the server because there just isn't enough to do. The standard of RP and the amount of RP in the LSPD and LSEMS is extremely high compared to that of LSC and Bayview, and it honestly feels like these factions are being neglected. Obviously the dev team have a lot on their hands and I don't understand how difficult it can be to edit scripts etc, but I feel that there just isn't enough to do as a mechanic compared to other factions. I know there's only so much you can do with mechanic RP, but I think these factions might die if something isn't done. I'm not the best at making suggestions but here are a few of my own and I'm sure some people will add stuff here: 1) Add a stock system where we'll need to source parts to actually do repairs with. 2) Make low level work take slightly longer to allow for more time to RP without customers getting pissy 3) (probably controversial and could be irritating but) Make vehicles require some maintenance over time, giving mechanics a more realistic experience 4) Change the uniforms (ik it doesn't make it more fun but how many mechanics wear suspenders and ties?) 5) Add to the script to make it so that mechanics actually have to do more in the game aside from their own RP 6) Partnership between government factions: mechanics could potentially fix and upgrade police vehicles, EMS, weazel news vehicles and taxis There are loads more improvements that can be made, i'm just a bit too dim to think of more, but I'm sure other players/mechanics can.

can confirm for bayview and lsc, but I'm pretty sure it's like that because interiors are really far away from the work locations in GTA

Haven't seen that used yet, seems like a really good mechanic though, i'll have to start implementing it. Cheers :)

On an old SAMP server I used to play a lot of (forgot what it was called but owned by Youtuber Call Me Kevin), they had a /attempt command. The idea behind it was that you would have a 50/50 chance of succeeding or failing, for example if you were to do '/attempt to flip a coin' it would say "Big Ounce attempted to flip a coin and succeeded!". It's a pretty good tool for stuff that fits it, such as getting up after falling down and loads of other rp situations. It's a minor improvement but I feel like it might add more layers to the rp the server offers.

Sam Wright Sam was born in Sheffield, England on the 17th of November 1993 and lived there until he was 16, but moved to Las Venturas with his brother James (a self proclaimed genius card counter) after his parents were killed in a car accident. The loss of his parents had hit both brothers pretty hard, and they quickly became tangled up in gambling, drugs, guns and boosting cars, until it eventually just boiled down to the last three. Sam and his brother would often boost cars from relatively unknown hood criminals, selling most of the drugs they often found inside while keeping a bit for themselves. However, several successful but relatively quiet years later, the brothers started to get cocky and would go after the vehicles of bigger and badder criminals. The cars and drugs they were stealing got more and more expensive and the brothers were doing very well for themselves, until one day a routine operation went, for lack of a better phrase, tits up. James had set off the very advanced security system of a prominent Italian mob boss' beloved rare 1972 Ferrari Dino GT and the brothers found themselves the targets of the whole mob and more than likely many other criminals now that they had a suspect. Although they were very talented at stealing cars, Sam and James were in no way master criminals, and had no idea what to do now that they were wanted. They constantly moved around San Andreas, finally settling down in a couple of cheap, discreet trailers in Sandy Shores, with hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash stashed underneath their floors. Being in Sandy Shores and the type of person he was, James quickly became involved in crystal meth. Boosting cars wasn't much of an option out in the desert, so James convinced Sam that they could become meth dealers. They lived a relatively profitable sixth months until one day Sam caught James using some of the product he was meant to sell. While this angered Sam, it was nothing in comparison to the anger of their bosses, who had also managed to find out that James was using some of the drugs he was meant to sell. A few weeks later, Sam was powerless to stop them from driving James out into desert and most likely shooting him in the head and dumping him in a ditch. Sam wanted to keep his distance from the people who killed his brother, but also wanted to be close enough to perhaps one day gain full closure on what happened to his brother, so he decided to take the little money his bosses didn't steal and his beloved, heavily modified 2013 Dodge Challenger and decided to move to Los Santos. Will it be a fresh start or more of the same?
