My Idea: New Type of Trader

[ToejaM]

As we don't have 100% safe storage for vehicles how about a trader that BUYS your vehicle and gives you a TOKEN so that when you want it back you can BUY it back from them.

 

Alternatively the trader could buy it off you for a little amount and then to rebuy it, it costs you XX gold so that way there is a coin sink in the game and it doesn't require any extra items to be needed and keeps the process simple.

 

This would require a new trader table and it would need to be linked to playerUID like safes but act like a merchant.

 

Or, how about an object that can be placed where ever you want that spawns the vehicle on another object you then place in a safe area. The check would be done so that it only looks for the spawning point up to 150m away otherwise it fails to spawn the vehicle. This stops you spawning vehicles across the map and accidently using other players spawn points. Only allow a certain amount of each item (the storing item and the spawning item) in the same area, i.e.. 1 of each.

 

The second option would be fantastic for base owners and servers with the base building mod and would reduce people queuing up around the trader area to retrieve their vehicles. Perhaps limit it to choppers only as land vehicles are often easy to come by or there could be several of these traders that share the same database table, while it would allow for people to pickup their vehicle where ever they wanted.. could there be a delay put in place for "delivery"? If it wasnt retrieved from the same 'trader' that was used to store it?
