Could we have a way to draw out district lines? As you add a station, you would line out what area that station covers. Instead of having it as a default radius, you would mark the edge so no calls would go beyond that point. So if you are placing a station that is close to a state line, some calls would occur out of state and realistically would become that next states call. It would also be great so you are not having to run a larger incident in an area that is far way and another station(s) local. Like if there is a small river and on the other side you have to send units 10-15 minutes out of the way to handle that call.
District lines

i have posted this previously it would allow you to set it up so stations that have large response areas like rural areas would have long response times and stations in the city would have a smaller smaller respones radius it would make it more realistic
-
There are quite a few of us that I know would love this feature, myself especially, but I think the issue with this is that the mapping is through a third party. This is just personal thought and I could be completely wrong, which I hope I am. The issue with this ties to the issue of separating ground and water as discussed in other threads.
-
From previous experience, in other games, lines could be drawn in the actual application without the use of openstreetmaps. Similar to the route that a helicopter takes (just a line, not using the map). It seems possible, but I'll take this to Sebastian to see if it is in this setting.

I like it, maybe under each station there is a button that says "use custom Response area on/off" and next to it an "edit custom response area" button for you to create the area. If it has been selected as on calls will spawn in the custom area, if it has been selected off then calls will spawn like they currently do.
I think it is better to do it like this so people have the option if they want to do it or not as I would imagine that there are a few people out there that can't be bothered to do it to every station due to how many they have etc

i support this. I don't like getting calls five minutes away from a station it self. If I wanted a mutual aid call I'd join an alliance or make my own.

Or be able to draw the lines and add stations to the district. Like a city often specific stations don't cover a certain area, they send the closest to the call. So you don't have to outline the whole district for 20 fire stations which would be very annoying. Even outlining a district for 3 stations would be annoying.

Per Sebastian, custom district lines unfortunately isn't possible.

But in real life the emergency services attend calls that could be more than 5 minutes away from the station location, this is because the stations cover an entire area not just a certain patch they will respond over a major area with in the town/ city they are located in

i lov this idea. as the amount of stations we have grows, the more we can expand the boundaries to our likings!
-
I love it too

Unfortunately as Aether said a few posts back it is not possible

A simple idea to semi for fill this idea because some people want this to expand response areas why not have a building like the dispatch center that is basically like a radio tower that lets you have a larger response area the tower would spawn calls.
The building would cost 50.00 credits and would come as small (what the radias for stations are now) medium (double the current distance) and large (3x the current distance).
If your a little confused let me know

that sounds like a good idea

its possible, he just doesnt want to do/ try it.
-
Everything's possible in some sense. But district lines would require a rework on the majority of how calls are generated. Seeing as Sebastian doesn't get a lot of time to work on new features it'll be a lot of time spent for little gain in my opinion.
-
or instead of having a stand alone building to do this, make that idea a part of each station to allow you to adjust the spawn radius for that station
-
Allowing the setting of each stations radius would potentially allow for this, and crossovers can be attended by whichever station covers and can assist.
