I think it’s safe to say we’ve all either had a popped tire, or a smoking engine that can’t be dealt with because there’s simply no mechanic online. The feature within the LSC shop is buggy, as it only repairs the cars health on the HUD. Something needs to be available for players to pay for the restoration of their cars. In place of the current buggy system, perhaps we could drive in and open a menu similar to the /modview, showing our vehicle health, and how much it would be to repair it to full health.
Additionally, when a mechanic is servicing your vehicle, 9/10 times, the repairs of the vehicle are a separate transaction entirely from the customizations, which can slow down the efficiency of our mechanics.
I think our mechanics are great. I love the RP with the mechanics. But the ability to restore our vehicles is essential to the playability of the server.
Of course, this cuts what our mechanics will be RPing a bit. In my opinion I think it’s worth it, as we can’t always count on a mechanic being online to make our cars viable again.
Let me know what you guys think!
