These are examples of smaller fire companies in my county.
"Small Stations"

One foreseeable issue is that players could simply purchase multiple small stations and stack them which could cost less than a normal station.

That would also present an issue by doubling calls as the game would simply add more calls in the multiple stations radius thus not allowing players even call spread.
Either way there will be pros and cons to this. I see what you're saying though. Unless there was a limit to how many mini stations we could have which would force players to evenly balance them out.

I certainly see the issue, it matters on the pricing I suppose, I however don't think it is fair to pay a million for a station that looks and functions like this.
I either see it happening two ways, I could even be wrong about this but here are my two cents.1. Implement "small stations" in the future, I am fine with it only being 1 appliance but definitely no more than 2 slots maximum. The price can remain the same as a normal station until you have 25 combined, while they both increase the small stations cost slightly less, but maybe if you have more many more small stations than normal stations, the price starts catching up to normal stations? It's a little complicated to try and balance this so that's why I probably prefer the second option.
2. After building 25 fire stations, you could consider making the initial price for a normal station increase slower, and have it increase more with each level upgrade.
Either way, I don't think pricing should increase after 1 million when that is how much it costs for a single helicopter landing pad, that's okay if you disagree.

This is what we consider small station!

This idea has now been talked about with Sebastian.

“ Hello players, it is now possible to buy Small Fire Stations. These cost half the price of a normal fire station and you will only be able to have up to 6 vehicles in each. You can’t purchase extensions at them but you can upgrade this station to a normal fire station.”

Just seen that - is there anything players can do with their previously bought stations that they only have a couple of slots at?
Say you have 5 existing stations that all have just the 1 slot, is there a way to change these all to the new small station? Or perhaps we could have a period of say 48 hrs or 7 days where players are able to get half of a refund and downgrade to the new small station? Personally I can't see that as being classed as 'cheating the system' etc (it would actually benefit those players who have been playing for months/years, and who are loyal to the game - who previously didn't have such an option). Thoughts?
-
Yes, I very much agree. Also, does the price of small stations increase with all purchases or what?

I have asked Sebastian and he has said it isn’t possible.

From what I can tell from what others have been saying, yes they do. Just like the regular stations, the prices increase overtime.
I have asked Sebastian and he has said it isn’t possible.
Ah alright, that's a shame. Thanks for the prompt reply though! Think I have worked out a plan for my future stations...
-
Yes the price does increase and is half the price of your current stations. It is also capped at 1 million unlike the regular fire stations which are not capped.
-
I really like the new small station, could it be possible in the future to have small police stations? They would be very useful for the police / sheriff department of small towns, which usually have few vehicles
-
Small police stations are possible. I asked Sebastian when we were going through these today.
-
Thanks
-
Now we’ve actually got them, I do have some questions about their price (I know, I do complain regularly about price but as a long term player it annoys me the most)
Coins. Currently a fire station regular costs 30 coins. A smaller one now costs 25 coins? If the smaller one is now HALF the credit price, can the coin price be halved as well?

I agree, this price needs to be fixed.

I don’t want to keep being the bearer of bad news but again this is unlikely. I asked Sebastian how much it was going to cost in coins expecting half or 20 but it was 25. When it comes to setting the prices and coins of things us moderators don’t get much of a say in it. If we suggest an update we will recommend pricing for the parts of the update but it is purely a recommendation, the final choice comes down to Sebastian. A lot of the time he will go with what we tell him but with things like this and coins for all purchases in the game are set by Sebastian.
We can only tell him that players are asking for a reduction etc but we can’t actua get these things changed unfortunately.

So am i correct in assuming that we can't do Ambulance extensions on these?
