Mike Stmria Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) I was looking for vehicles that could be suggested to be added to have more variants and I happen to see the fuel truck, which I remember someday was in game and I instantly came up with this idea. It's a rough idea so input will be much appreciated. First of all, we need to increase the amount of fuel consumption in vehicles, there are plenty gas stations and this will increase a bit RP in the server. maybe if you drive the same vehicle for the whole server restart you will need to refuel it 5 times ? or make it like 1/4 per 5 - 8km dependeing on vehicle class. After doing this we will get into the add and use of a Fuel Truck. The fuel truck will be used to obviously drive around (you can buy it on truck shop as normal with a trunck space of 150 maybe ?) and will be especially designed to gather Petroleum that needs to be taken to a Refinery and then be sold to a Gas Station. Each gas station could have different paying, depending on the amount of fuel the have. NOTE: Gas stations will never run out of fuel, amount of fuel will only influence on money payed. This will be the legal way to make it and could give you a good profit. maybe double than diamond mining (you know, cause black gold) This will also have his "illegal" variant, which will be attaching pipes to the Refinery to make Illegal Fuel which can be sold at a Black Market or a different illegal point tbd. This will give you the charge of Trafficking or something related, but will pay more if there is more in the illegal market than in the gas stations. In other to place new illegal pipes you need to get some Pipes from the market and fill your truck with it, this will be display as diesel instead of fuel, making diesel illegal. The amount of time that it will take for this to drain it illegally will depend in the amount of petroleum that has been refined during server restart. This will involve a pay maybe as high as meth, but also a charge that will cost you more if you get caught. As I said rough idea, but if you like it give some input and way to improve this Edited November 16, 2016 by Mike Santamaria Roberino, Big Bird, Donald Trump and 6 others like this Link to comment

Mike Stmria Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Just now, NotEqualTo (Eazy) said: it doesnt make sense Because they are not related in any way, and each one will serve for their own purpose. I know only a few people that run Oil to make money, every single person I see running oil is because they need the matts to Craft things. This will not affect that, this is a money making way, there is no way you can gather Oil while gathering Petroleum, or to get rubber while processing Petroleum. Link to comment

Flameless Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) I'd like to see where this'll end up. The more activity that people can engage in outside of kavala, the better. It'd be nice to patrol the highways and have a lot of people driving by, or have shootouts in pygros and Athira, possibly Sophia, rather than the consistent all out wars in Kavala. Anything outside of kavala only feels abandoned. Edited November 16, 2016 by Flameless Link to comment

Bilbo Baggins Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 It is a rough idea like you said. But with some polishing up I would like to see some kind of oil mission besides the rig, and a way to add in the HEMMT Fuel. I remember seeing somebody suggest an idea similar to this, but more along the lines of it being like a drug runner or delivery mission and it got a lot of positive reviews. Maybe with some changes in how it works this could be a good way to make money legally. Or at least one that's a little less time consuming.

This is why they were removed. You could take down someone's house with these, but I'm sure it could be adjusted. I do love the idea and it gives civs more to do besides get robbed and killed. But that could be me, since I can't shoot worth a crap. Link to comment
