Serious RP Server Car Mod

||VM|| Car Mod Idea

I love cars on the server and depending on how big the map is going to be for the Serious RP server this i hope could be a possibility.

First Step

To reduce Car DM to need to obtain a licence to drive, this could be done by using the trabbie. First you need to pay insurance before you can buy a trabbie (Price to be decided) and this lasts for 20 days untill it need to be renewed, if you fail to nenew it the car cannot be taken out of your inventory.

Second Step

For the first 6 hours of actual driving time the trabbie can only be driven at very slow speeds just above running pace, after this time you receive a driving licence, this allows to to drive the trabbie at full speed.

Third Step

After you have driven the trabbie for 20 hours you are able to purchase and drive the next car up i.e. the golf (you will also have to pay more insurance as it is a faster car)

Forth Step

Before you are able to drive the Corvette you need to complete some achievements i.e. not killing anyone for more than 8 hours while actually drive the car and a increase in insurance. (more to be added)

The Points System

To also reduce Car DM a point system should also be used, you are allowed a maximum of 13 points.

So..

1 point = Running a Red Light.
3 Points Speeding in a city area.
6 = Killing some one while driving.

Im not sure how hard it would be to do the first to but the 3 should not be too hard i hope.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway this is my idea if you have any input it is more than welcome.

Re: Serious RP Server Car Mod

But, the money you would lose for having to buy a car, sell a car, buy a car, sell a car. Couldnt you do something like, the longer you drive, the more expensive car you can drive? So if you drive your trabbi for a total of 2 hours you can drive a corvette?

I agree. But I think there should not be change made in cars. They are good like they are now.

I dont think it has been fully worked out yet this is depending on if we go to a maps that can take cars

Its not ment to be instant gratification you have to work to earn it other wise there is no insentive to take care while driving because you will lose it and have to work at it all over again

So i can kill 2 people and still be safe. Cheesy

This is a great idea, although if we have to buy next car up until corvette, we should be able to buy and sell the car for the same price, making it where we wont be losing 10's of thousands of dollars.  That would make it much better. Especially with paying all this insurance -_-

This is for the serious roleplay server, in real life if you buy a car, use it for a while, then try and sell it, it will have depreciated in value. Since on the server time progresses faster, the value of each vehicle will have fallen considerably before you purchase a new one.

You should not be able to sell it for the value at which you bought it.
