Reckless311 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Posted August 29, 2019 Currently there are two mechanic shops in the city and with the re- introduction of boats, the only way to upgrade them requires a moderator+ to tp the boat and player to one of the mechanics. Why not have 1 or 2 marine mechanics specifically to fix the marine vehicles and remove the need for staff involvement. These would be placed on water so there's no tp requirement. This would help make it more realistic than the current system and more immersive.
ammeo Posted August 29, 2019 Report Posted August 29, 2019 +1. There needs to be a marine mechanic shop in the city.
jowebb7 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Posted September 3, 2019 +1 I know @Doey was trying to open a boat rental shop for a while but the IC government told him he had to purchase a location he could run it out of but a business never became available.
Flucifial Posted September 3, 2019 Report Posted September 3, 2019 I suggest just adding the ability to buy little trailers to hook on the back of compatible vehicles to tow the boats to mechanics on your own. 1
jowebb7 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Posted September 3, 2019 Another possibility would be giving a mechanic the ability to do modifications on the road from a specific vehicle. Wouldn’t use the towtruck, but maybe the pickup truck which is currently UtiliTruck3. The boat could be parked right along the short and a mechanic could come RP modifying it. Wouldn’t not be as realistic as using a trailer and bringing it to the shop but it might be a temporary solution to a problem that might require a fix that will take a while.
THNDR Posted September 3, 2019 Report Posted September 3, 2019 I'm going to -1 the original, it would be pretty impractical to have a mechanic shop only for that. During the first days everyone wanted to customize their boats but with the hype over, i don't think it would have that many customers. 5 hours ago, Flucifial said: I suggest just adding the ability to buy little trailers to hook on the back of compatible vehicles to tow the boats to mechanics on your own. However, i'm gonna +1 Flucifials suggestion. This would bring more business to LSC and Bayview and be realistic at the same time!
JakeInnit_ Posted September 4, 2019 Report Posted September 4, 2019 +1 to the idea of boat trailers which can be bought as an additional vehicle. These trailers should only be attached to larger vehicles which would normally have a tow-bar.
Xoza Posted September 4, 2019 Report Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Make it so boats can be mechanic'd outside a shop or add a location that registers as a 'shop' at a drydock or shipping yard somewhere. Edited September 4, 2019 by Xoza 1

Not a lot of people would go to a boat mechanic after the initial hype but Flucifial's suggestion deserves a +1
