Remove local helicopters

[James Wyatt]

Remove local helicopters, local helicopters ruin the point of buying your own as they can be found easily 


 

 

[JackJohnson]

Quite a few people have still bought them I think, the people that can afford them. If anything I would only suggest decreasing the spawn chance. 

 

[Ade]

Please dont. I think it lets people have a little fun while saving for an actual chopper for themselves.

Right, let me just throw my opinion here as the owner of LS Air. Generally i think removing local helis would be a good idea. When the dealership was created we had one goal. Make sure that even tho helis will be available to people but they would not be used for stupid things that just don't make sense. You wouldn't see your local street gang flying about in helis committing crimes left, right and center. That is why we've made getting the heli quite a selective process. Even if someone passes all the checks they often just back out when they see the prices. Yes, i've had people say "oh, fuck that, i'm just gonna steal local ones" after i told them how much aircraft are. Now, with local aircraft being so common i quite often see them used in stupid ways. People landing right in the middle of the city because they don't care, gangs having literal air battles with helis or using them as close air support. I'm not saying they should not be used to commit crimes, they should, but people should just be smarter about it. If local aircraft would be removed then people would actually think about what they are doing with their own aircraft, as not only can they be traced back to them but can also be scrapped if used enough. This would also force gangs to figure out way to get their hands on helis (yes, we've thought of a few ways that could be done, but i don't think many people chose to do so, rather they just keep stealing local ones).

TLR - I think local aircraft should be removed to make it so people stop doing stupid shit with them and will force some RP to happen if crims wish to get their hands on them.

Quite a few people have still bought them I think

In total 24 aircraft were sold since it got implemented (04/02/2022). I wouldn't really say that we get decent traffic. When i'm on at the shop quite often i'll just be sat there for hours with no one coming over even whem i'm spamming tweedle so i would't say many people are actually interested in getting an aircraft of their own. Not too sure why that is, may be because of the local helis but may also be due to prices, but at least you got some stats to get a discussion going hopefully.
