LewE Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) Currently if you get a vehicle released from the impound they stay at the health they were at prior to being impounded, I think we should change this to at least repair the vehicle to a driveable state as currently its hard enough even getting a cop to release your vehicle and when they finally do release it, its perma stalled and then you have to wait even longer for a mechanic to drive to come and fix it. This change will remove inactive vehicles out of the impound and increase server performance and makes the vehicles actually useable again so you can get back to RP instead of AFK in an impound lot.

SquirtleSquad Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 +1 I think releasing it in a state where you're able to drive it should be doable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nettz Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 +1 I agree with this, especially since having to wait so long for an officer to come take out your vehicle, and then having to sit there and wait for a mechanic to come and repair the vehicle is such a pain.

Lutherian90 Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 +1 Seeing people get their car out of impound only to realize they have to call a mechanic and wait even longer before being able to move onto other forms of RP is disheartening. If it comes out of impound in at least a drivable state, then people still have to provide RP opportunities to Mechanics to get it repaired the rest of the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexalex303 Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 I do not think the vehicle should be fixed completely, so as to avoid people using the impound lot as a mechanic service, however having released vehicles spawn driveable (no missing parts, ~450 hp) is reasonable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cup Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 I like this idea, having it be drivable but only just (the 450 hp idea) is good because it doesn't remove mechanic RP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiem Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 +1 to only releasing it at a barely drivable state as mentioned by others above (between 350 - 450 vehicle durability). I also think that if a vehicle is below the 300 HP drivable threshold, then it should charge the owner something like $300 to get that repair to make it drivable as an extra money sink since repairs wouldn't be free and to avoid any potential abuse.
