Vehicle Sharing

[Toxine]

 
The following suggestion was part of a multi-suggestion thread I had posted before, but I think this idea deserves its own thread.

I'm aware of the permanent keys feature, and that's cool and all, but if the actual owner of the vehicle logs out, the car will eventually despawn, not giving much value to the keys afterwards. 
It would be a nice addition to have the option to share ownership of a vehicle with other players / entire faction, so whenever one of those owner logs in, the vehicle will spawn. And as long as one of the owners of it is in town, the vehicle won't despawn.

To make it balanced it could maybe only be vehicles under a certain value, so people don't end up sharing super cars and expensive motorcycle with each other. 

This feature would benefit a lot of people that need trucks, utility vehicles, vans, RV's and vehicles of this kind. It kinda doesn't make sense for each player in an illegal faction to own their own truck, since each gang would ideally want just 1/2 utility trucks to use them for shipment and such, and having to wait for the owner every time you want to do so, it's a little annoying. 

Additionally, it could be made so a shared vehicle cannot be sold until all additional owners give up the ownership (or the primary owner removes all sharing capabilities). So only vehicles with 1 owner can be sold.

CMD's:

/sharevehicle ID or ID's - (you have to be inside of it)
/sharevehicle 102 or 102,103,104,105
/removeshare ID or ID's (only if you are the primary owner)
/sharedvehicles - Shows all the vehicles you have shared / or it can just be part of /vehiclestats as [Shared]

Limits:

- Only 2 Vehicles can be shared per player (Can be increased with VIP levels 3/4/5/6)
- Maximum 5 total shared players per vehicle (With this we can avoid overcrowding the server)
- Shared vehicles will be reset after 1 month in order to prevent inactive players from abusing the feature and having access when they log back in again after months/years..
- Vehicles above $500k cannot be shared (This prevents players from sharing supercars, drags, etc.. with each other, allowing them to share utility/vans/SUV's/trucks vehicles only
- Vehicles cannot be shared to or from NEW PLAYERS (under 5000 exp)

+1 but RV's don't despawn unless server restart. Where all vehicles despawn. Ether way. Big +1

Yeah, RV’s should stay on forever, thats good

The despawn time for shared vehicles can start after the last “shared-owner” logs out
