babx Posted April 7, 2023 Report Posted April 7, 2023 Stealing cars is fun - especially when you get tons of money from it with the last buff. However, I believe there should be an additional option: a fuel pump to drain the fuel from the car. I understand this might mess up the gas station economy, but I also believe this should be an option because it might bring more RP into it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So, what would we need to get the fuel out of the car: - 1x Generator (it should produce sound so it's not that easy to drain the fuel and it is risky) - 1x Fuel pump - 2x fuel hose (1 for draining from car to pump, one from pump to a barrel or jerry can - these could wear over time and possibly leak some fuel causing it not to drain all the fuel) - Jerrycan revamp (Those should not be destroyed - could be filled now just like water) ############################################################################################## OPTIONAL ADDITION - Spark plug (the generator could have faulty spark plug) - Barrels or tanks (filling up Jerry cans then you could fill large barrels and use it as your own gas station for yourself or to sell it to others. Fuel could be stolen from it as well with jerry can) - Spawn NPC cars with random percentage of fuel (not 100% to prevent fuel economy crashing way too much) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How will this benefit (once again): - People can save up money on gas - People can sell gas to others (do not add anything for NPCs) - People can bring their own Jerrycans to steal the gas from the private barrels or tanks *Another thing that could be considered - fuel pumps do not have to be near the toolchest but near the generator. 1 Quote
Requiem Posted April 11, 2023 Report Posted April 11, 2023 I like the concept, but I don't feel its needed in the server. It would especially be a problem if this worked on player vehicles...people would just troll others by taking all their gas and leaving their car stranded somewhere. Quote

I appreciate the opinion, however, I do not believe that would be the case. Why? The concept of chopping is now focused on the NPC vehicles. Chopping player owned vehicles simply does not pay enough taking into consideration the extra risk you are taking. However, back in the day - you leave your car somewhere, it gets stolen and chopped. What happens if your car breaks down? Nothing. With the concept explained above; fuel pumps are not something portable you would just "right click and use" on the vehicle (you would need generator to power up the fuel pump, something could go wrong, etc). I do not believe someone would push your broken car to drain the fuel from it just to benefit for at most 100 liters of fuel. The car would clearly need to be unlocked as well - so there is another risk of getting the alarm triggered. In the end.... Your character lives in the city with the highest crime rate. That character needs to consider storing the vehicles in a safe place. Quote
