Vehicle Boosting

[Ben Clark]

I believe vehicle boosting would be a great addition to the server. Right now, a lot of people feel that crim content is a little dry, and I agree. With residential robberies already approved, adding a boosting Vehicles on top would be good for the crim scene while also creating new RP opportunity's for the server.

How it works:
Players use their 3rd eye to interact with an NPC to request a boosting job. Within 5–10 minutes, they receive a text message with a rough area where the target vehicle is stored and the licence plate number.

Stealing the Vehicle:

• Once in the area, players must search for and steal the vehicle.
• Driving the car comes with risks: if you pass ANPR or speed cameras, the police receive a dispatch about the stolen vehicle.
• This adds pressure and makes the job more engaging for both crims and cops.

Stripping the Vehicle

• After securing the car, players can bring it to a discreet location to strip it down.
• Parts can be removed one by one: doors, bumpers, hood, trunk, engine, and finally scrapping the shell for a small cash payout.
• This adds depth and more immersion than just dropping off a vehicle.
• To strip down a vehicle requires tools like Hammer, Crow bar, Screwdriver
• Each tool will loose durability per part you take off the vehicle. So if your tool breaks in mid job you have to get a new one

Creating More RP

• Stripped parts would be placed into the player’s inventory or their vehicle trunk if they’re too heavy.
• Players can then sell these parts to mechanic shops like Auto Exotic, Benny’s
• This creates a new layer of RP, as criminals will drive garage to garage offering parts, and mechanics can choose whether to buy or not.

Pros

• Adds fresh crim content to the server.
• Provides new roleplay scenarios between criminals and mechanics.
• Creates more risk/reward with police involvement.

Cons

• Would require additional dev work to implement.

yea man

Driving the car comes with risks: if you pass ANPR or speed cameras, the police receive a dispatch about the stolen vehicle.

i would say, if it's a higher value vehicle it might have a tracker aswell that you have to get rid off in some sort of way

but anything but high value vehicles shouldn't have(or atleast have a lower chance to) have trackers and only pop up for ANPR cameras

I think Stevie's post (https://www.roleplay.co.uk/threads/car-boosting.424992/#post-2498531) gives a pretty detailed baseline on how boosting and a couple other additions could work

Boosting definitely has a place on the server. There's been a number of unofficial boosting events but unfortunately they are few and far between due to needing Aiden and atleast 1 other person to spend 3+ hours of their time spawning cars, creating some sort of challenge to complete and keeping an eye on things, though when these have happened they've been well liked by everyone involved

Your con is the obvious "requires dev work" but imo we need to allocate the available dev time to implement stuff like car boosting, house robberies and other criminal stuff to keep the crim life alive. Because without that, there's not police life either.
