Brief Summary:
Rework vehicle stats, Vehicle collision damage and Realistic driving rule
Detailed Summary:
Ok so I can honestly say I'm not sure how this suggestion is going to be received I have seen similar ones int he past and I have made ones myself with overlaps with this suggestion.
I personally think a look should be taken into how people drive on the server. the current meta means that a lot of people can afford incredibly high powered and flashy cars and then they drive them round the city at silly speeds knowing that if they crash usually the worst thing that will happen is they will have to get out of their car, spend a few seconds repairing their vehicle then off we are again to driving like a lunatic. All great fun but not really realistic. I have been working hard and actively pushing for the LSPS to improve their driving standards and drive in a more realistic manor however when everyone else isn't then it means that there is little reason to as it would mean people just always get away. I believe that steps need to be taken to improve the realism of driving in the city.
I will break this suggestion down into 2 sections:
Section 1 Vehicle damage and collisions
I have made a suggestion similar to this in the past but a high speed collision should mean something. At the moment if you have a collision the usually the worst thing that will happen is that you will have to stop, take a few seconds to use a repair kit and then you're on your way again. There is no real medium or short term implications to a collision that should probably have killed you IRL or at the very least really fucked you up and totalled your car. IMO minor damage (Broken lights popped tyres ect should be able to be dealt with via a repair kit at the side of the road as many people have a spare tyre and bulbs in their vehicle and I would also suggest that due to the lack of mechanics sometimes for quality of life a repair kit should be able to allow a broken down vehicle to drive slowly allowing someone to limp to a garage. however for anything for rxtensive a trip to a garge woudl be required to get a vehilce back to full function. I also beleive that being thrown through your windsheild should always result in incapacitation and greater gammage should be takenf rom other collisions. This woudl encorage everyone to drive more carfully and provide real consiquences for collisions (Police, and Civ)
Section 2 Reduced vehicle speed and acceleration
Currently vehicles cna go incredably fast increadably quickly. When was the alst time you saw anyone ont he road IRL driving 100+ maybe on the motorway you ger a few but not often. I think all vehilces should have thier accelaration and top speed nerfed this would mean that people would ahve to drive slower at thier tiop speed making it mroe realsitic and make it harder to get to that speed. It would make police persuits slower and alsop make police slower to respond to incidents however
Section 3 Realistic Driving Rule
Expand the realist driving rule to include driving in a manor that is not realsitic such as driving 100+ in the city centre
I am aware that alot of people will not like this suggestion citing that this isa game and should be fun but we are triyng to RP in a realstic fashion and I believe this will help. I am open to hear others options on this matter however and i do accept that there are people (probably quite a few) who dont see this as an issue like I do.
Thank you for reading
Pros: Improved realism and emersion, more RP for mechanics,
Cons: Dev time, not sure if this is possible, some people may be put off by having to drive more carefully
