CB and XM radios as an item + radiuses

[Guest]

Short description: CB and XM radios as an inventory item

Detailed description:

 

XM.

Basically in order to listen XM radio channels in your car or house, you have to buy a XM radio from a hardware store/mechanic garage/pawn shop.

 

CB.

Three types of CB radios for commercial use that also can be bought from hardware stores mainly:

 

1 - Truck variant, can be installed in mechanic garages  - 5000$ . *(Full map)

2 - Handheld walkie-talkie, can be bought from hardware stores -  2500$ . *(1/3 map)

3 - Headset, can also be bought from hardware stores but is more expensive then walkie-talkie - 5000$. *(1/3 map)

 

*() Optional radiuses for each as well.

The thread below details what should also be included in CB systems, making the headset variant the only one not showing any backchatter :

 

 

NOTE : /uninstallXM from a car should have a timer so a thief can't just crab it quickly.

 

Commands to add: /installXM /uninstallCM /installCB /uninstallCB /CBmute /CBon /CBoff

Items to add: Two types of XM radios and 3 types of CB radios.

How would your suggestion improve the server?Additional information: Having XM radios as an buyable item would enhance realism, give's more RP around it for the shops and mechanics + it satisfies criminals their ancient urge and desire to be able to steal car radios and then sell them to pawn shops. Having CB radios as an buyable item would give its's usage back the character base who uses those radios in a  more professional level so not every random person on the streets has one. Probably makes people use phones more often as well.

In this day and age the XM radio part of this suggestion is completely is redundant. The majority of brand new cars sold today will have XM/DIGITAL RADIO as standard. You shouldn't have to have it as an object that needs installing as an aftermarket part and then have that item be able to be stolen. It's just headaches, commands, things to add things to learn it's too much. The same applies to houses Houses/businsses. You shouldn't have to buy the item to listen to a radio as quite simply it's just a given you'd have a radio capable device in the building somewhere, be it an actual radio or streaming the service via a laptop/tablet or even from 4G from your phone.

Of course you can look at everything as 1:1 with the real world but we should have to make compromises on some areas that would enhance the greater RP experience. Also in this day of age of RP , a lot of things could be done without commands, there just isn't systems for everything in place yet, but that does not mean we should stop being progressives. Have a little faith and imagination.
