Toxicbullet Posted June 13, 2024 Report Posted June 13, 2024 I feel like boats dont have enough purpose in the city other than just flexing or going over to cayo. I would suggest adding fishing zones in the city further in the water some in the city some in paleto. This would be Adding more exotic fish or different ones at least and they can weight different volumes so you dont just sit at the pier fishing for 2vol fish. This incresses the use of boats and how to use them and helps the market for them. These fish can help people make more money at different rate and even just have a fun time Rping with buddies fishing on your boat. This is just extra but it can add more rp with people who want to open a fish restaurant or sushi place. Boats can have alot of potential and I feel like we are missing out on it and overlooking them Please let me know what you think of this and any ideas you think would work with this. Thank you for reading this Quote
Quietthecutie Posted June 13, 2024 Report Posted June 13, 2024 Boats do have alot of utility and good criminal orgs make alot of use outa them, but ye for civilian porpoises, pardon the pun, i would love to see some kinda fishing update. Quote
Cup Posted June 14, 2024 Report Posted June 14, 2024 ya for right now, do not recommend trying to fish from a boat unless you enjoy flying into the water ^.^ Quote
Night Posted January 22, 2025 Report Posted January 22, 2025 There was previously discussion of this with additional ideas here too! Quote
Chevy Vercetti Posted March 30, 2025 Report Posted March 30, 2025 +1 To Add to this Idea, i would like to suggest this as well. To create an engaging fishing system that incorporates boats, floating piers, and docks at sea while also addressing the catching of endangered species (such as the Vaquita, Blue Whale, and others), a realistic fishing progression system with conservation mechanics can be developed. This system would focus not only on traditional fishing, but also on ethical and legal aspects related to the protection of endangered marine species. Here's an outline for how this could be implemented: 1. Fishing Progression System with Boats, Docks, and Conservation: Fishing Locations: Boats: Players can access boats after reaching a certain fishing skill level. The boats can be used to travel to floating piers and docks far from shore, where deeper waters hold larger fish species, including endangered ones. Basic Boat: Unlockable at Level 10 Fishing. Can be used to access new areas and larger fishing spots. Advanced Boat: Unlockable at Level 20 Fishing. Offers faster travel, greater capacity, and access to rare or deep-sea species. Floating Piers/Docks at Sea: These are unique locations where the player can anchor their boat and fish from the dock or pier. Endangered Species Areas: Certain piers might be in regions with protected marine areas, where endangered species (like the Vaquita or Green Sea Turtle) are found. These areas might require a special license or fishing permit to fish, which can be obtained by following in-game conservation challenges or quests. 2. Fishing Specific Endangered Species: Fishing Mechanic with a Focus on Conservation: Endangered Species Awareness: The game features a dynamic Fishing Ethics System. If players catch endangered species, it is recorded, and their reputation with conservation groups or authorities can be impacted. Illegal Catch Consequences: Players who catch an endangered species without permission will face fines or even temporary bans from fishing in specific areas "on license" not allowed to have a permit to fish. Legal Fishing Permit: To legally catch endangered species, players must earn special licenses through quests or conservation efforts, demonstrating they are protecting the species in the long run. Catch and Release System: Players can catch endangered species, but must make a decision whether to release them back into the water or to keep them. If kept, the player faces legal consequences, but if released, they receive ethical rewards (e.g., reputation boosts, experience points, or rare fishing gear). Catch and Release Rewards: If a player successfully releases an endangered species (like a Humpback Whale or Whale Shark), they gain conservation points that unlock new boat upgrades, special fishing gear, or even access to specialized conservation zones. 3. Endangered Species and Fishing License System: To regulate fishing practices and ensure the protection of endangered species, the player must manage their fishing licenses. The game could feature: Fishing License Mechanic: Standard License: Allows fishing in normal zones with common fish. Protected Waters License: A special license that grants access to floating piers or docks where endangered species like the Loggerhead Sea Turtle, Fin Whale, and Great White Shark live. Players need to earn this license by following conservation quests and guidelines. License Costs: The license could require credits (in-game currency), special conservation quests, or materials harvested from protected species to demonstrate the player is contributing to marine conservation. Violating License Rules: If a player catches a protected species without the proper permit, they will be fined or banned from fishing for a period of time. Ethical Choices: At certain points, players can choose whether to report illegal fishing activities or ignore them, influencing their standing with the marine protection authorities. Endangered Species List (with names): The following endangered species can be part of the Marine Species Database, and players will receive information and rewards based on their interactions with these creatures: Vaquita Green Sea Turtle Blue Whale Whale Shark Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle Atlantic Humpback Dolphin Great Hammerhead Humphead Wrasse Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Beluga Whale Sand Tiger Shark Fin Whale Angelshark Giant Sea Bass European Eel Loggerhead Sea Turtle Leatherback Sea Turtle Gray Whale Staghorn Coral Narrow-Ridged Finless Porpoise Olive Ridley Sea Turtle Giant Oceanic Manta Ray Scalloped Hammerhead Smalltooth Sawfish Southern Bluefin Tuna Sei Whale Haliotis Sorenseni Great White Shark Anacropora Spinosa Acropora Globiceps Bearded Seal Argentine Angelshark Atlantic Salmon Humpback Whale Bigeye Tuna Yellowfin Tuna Narwhal Albacore Bocaccio Banggai Cardinalfish Orca Steller’s Sea Cow Chinook Salmon The endangered species will have specific habitats marked on the map, and players can find these species through quests, special fishing expeditions, or using specialized equipment like "Scuba" Marine Biologist Gear. 4. Unique Features and Ethical Dilemmas: Marine Conservation Efforts: Players who make positive choices like releasing endangered species or completing marine conservation tasks will earn reputation points with marine research organizations. These points can unlock: Special fishing gear designed to safely handle delicate species. Access to conservation expeditions for research purposes. Special boats or piers where endangered species thrive, but only if the player has proven their dedication to conservation. Environmental Challenges: Pollution: Players will encounter pollution challenges where certain areas are contaminated by oil spills or waste, affecting fish populations, including endangered species. Players may need to clean these areas to help protect the fish and gain rewards. Illegal Fishing Cartels: A fishing cartel (in-game faction) could be part of the game’s antagonist system. Players could either choose to fight against these illegal fishers or turn a blind eye for personal gain. Fighting the cartel "Aquarius-Yacht Boats" Objective to dismantle, could lead to rare rewards, reputation boosts with conservation groups, and access to protected species zones. 5. Endangered Species Tracking & Fishing Journals: Players can maintain a fishing journal that tracks species caught, whether they are endangered, and whether they were released or kept. This journal acts as a record of the player's impact on the environment, influencing the game's outcome or the player's reputation. Species Info: The journal will provide detailed information about each species, their conservation status, habitat, and the importance of protecting them. Environmental Impact: If the player is caught illegally fishing or harming endangered species, the journal will record this as part of the Ethical Progression system. Conclusion: The fishing system with boats, floating piers, docks, and the inclusion of endangered species not only introduces an engaging gameplay loop but also encourages players to think ethically about the environment and marine conservation. By blending real-world issues with gameplay mechanics, the game can provide both fun and educational experiences, while allowing players to contribute to protecting endangered species and making meaningful choices.

Earl Mud Posted April 6, 2025 Report Posted April 6, 2025 I would add we should have 2 more parking for boats. One in paleto and one off the coats of either side of sandy. For crim stuff I think even more people would utilize them if there was more parking available. Especially since the best places for boat depots from labs are sandy and up. 1 Quote
