Brief Summary:
A small change in fishing mechanics to benefit realism
Detailed Suggestion:
I think fishing may be reworked in the future so I have some suggestions which I believe would be a good addition to the fishing system.
Currently people are bringing semi trucks down on the beach near Fort zancudo to fish with on the beach as they can store 500 fish. I did not agree with this at first but granted fishing from the beach is realistic so fair enough.
It is not realistic in my opinion to be able to drive a big rig truck onto sand and then be able to drive off casual once fully laden. Due to this new truck "meta" there is no incentive for people to use boats to venture out into open water I belive there to be some simple solutions to this.
1) current boat storage:
Currently unlike cars it does not matter about the size of the boat for its storage value as all boats currently only have 100 available inventory slots.
If a system was put into place like cars when they come in 100, 150 , 250 or 500 such as outlined below:
Jetski: 50
Dinghy : 100
jetmax : 150
suntrap : 100
Toro: 150
sea ray 650: atleast 500 or maybe more
2) bigger fish found in deeper waters are more valuable :
If there was multiple different types of fish introduced in game where as the further out to sea you go you will find the bigger fish and sharks that reside in the deeper waters which are worth more.
With the current trucking "meta" it does not make sense to me how you would be able to catch a shark in ankle high waters.
With this system introduced people would still be able to fish at the beach with vehicle at a much reduced profit. This can be used when first starting up on fishing to save up for your first boat.
For example you could catch whitebait or similar small fish which are worth 100 a piece whereas out at sea you could catch mackerel at 250 a piece.
I believe with this implemented it would be a more fleshed out fishing experience with correlates with realism.
This would also have a beneficial impact on the sea police as there would be more people our on boats to stop and talk to making for more RP scenarios.
currently with the trucking the sea police are at a bit of a loose end as they don't really deal with land based incidents.
The Pros:
. Increased boat usage to provide more interactions with water Bourne police units
. Increased incentive to venture out away from the shore into deeper waters spreading people out
.increased realism in touch with real world fishing aspects
. Increased incentive to buy boats instead of using big rigs
The Cons:
. People might complain about the decrease in truck fishing
Does this suggestion change balance on the server ?
no
Conclusion:
Overall these are just suggestions and are based on my personal opinion. I believe with these systems inplace it will benefit the fishing community as well as creating further more interesting RP scenarios.
