So how does someone driving like an idiot and going "lol lag" do anything for me? That's not holding me accountable for anything. Then what? Report them and further bog down admins? And for what? A void? Come on. You gotta be practical. I'm all for holding people accountable for the way they act. But right now? There isn't the infrastructure for this. Especially - like others have said, with RAGE being as questionable as it is. 

It could happen to you as it could happen to a player that is not part of a faction. Why should there be a difference between players in factions and players without a faction?

Why do factions deserve such privilege and easy forgiveness for their mess-ups on driving? I'm also about the equality + a way around it when spawning accidents or random bugs happen.

I agree that if it affects cars, it should affect all cars, faction vehicle or not. A lot of factions with big fleets have a maintenance department and if they don't, this update should make them invest in one or contract a garage.

It forces them to participate in roleplay. If they've rammed you and damsged your vehicle enough to leave you stranded, the problem driver will similarly be stranded too. The roleplay opportunities from there only grow, and their ability to go "lmao, lag" and drive off is ripped from their greasy palms faster than they can whine.

this is gonna suck for anyone that plays on non-peak hours and struggles to find open businesses as is.

This is a good change.

 

But I will iterate again, cars go ape when they are spawned. They will fly, clip and crash into each other or get swallowed by the earth. There NEEDS to be a fail safe so players aren't having to repair damage literally caused by the server not working as intended. The rest is fine. I get why they've put faction vehicles on there. Factionized vehicles can be buggy depending on who/what char in the faction they're held by. I certainly think it'll be good for the GOVERNMENT factions to be able to RP inhouse repair teams to be able to fix their fleets etc, but they shouldn't be exempt. And I'd see no reason non government factions would be covered by that at all. Tax exempt, yeah. Cause we physically are unable to get them road taxed due to the script, but not damage exempt.

 

The engine damage apparently only registers when you're sitting inside the vehicle. So, spawning should have no effect.

Pretty sure anyone with the mechanic job script wise can repair their engine at the side of the road within 30 seconds?

I'm not arguing the faction part. I'm arguing the whole thing.

And what makes you think they won't report and lie to the admin about the lag the way they lied to you about it? And then what? They stall because they're "waiting for an admin" - that's an easy 30-45 minute wait. For what? The admin to give the benefit of the doubt and void it? So now you're down an hour because someone who didn't want to RP it to begin with goes the extra mile to not RP any accountability anyways.

Why are regular players enforced this, while LEO can vpark and spawn brand new vehicles? This is not fair for the average roleplayer.
