Personally I just have a regular station where I store spare units and put them either 300s response delay or state 6 so they aren't sent out reguarly.
I then just swap vehicles between operational stations and the storage station periodically to emulate a unit going for repairs and a spare covering , without having to delete units I might need in the future.
Aha, okay, Thank You
It's been a whils since ive played, but im starting to get back int o the game again.
my question is how do i add an Amulance Officer to a station? Because they don't show up in my vehicle market list.
Does the station need mass casualty extension to unlock?? as they are available in my single station (a HART Base) that has the extension.
Cheers.
They're about 40 mins away - so about 50 ish km?
And I just noticed the button at the top 🤦♂️
I guess it makes sense to not load all the units at once but it's still annoying when you forget and you suddenly have no units available
Hi,
I seem to have an issue with HART units always being "unavailable", they don't appear in my vehicle list and won't dispatch via ARR?
I have the station turned on, all staff trained, and all units set to status 2.
EDIT: They work now but only when you scroll all the way to the bottom of the vehicle list and click the "Vehicle Display Limited! Load More!" button. This is still an issue though, since there shouldn't be a need to have to click that button to use ARR imo.
I just noticed this too. Quite confused tbh.
I can understand maybe sending a PRV instead of an RRV, as they're small, and possibly an SRV, but definitely not an ATV carrier or Welfare unit.
Here in south east ambo they mark it but its part if a normal one]
obviously, each ambulance service does it differently, so there's always going to be inconsistencies like this. maybe in the future ty can add HART extensions, but they'll probably want to establish the current HART first
The new HART base does allow you to have all the vehicles of a normal ambulance station as well as the new HART units, so technically this is a large station with a HART extension. but I see where you're coming from.
Although in the area I'm based they do have a separate HART base where all their resources a based rather than at a normal ambulance station. Ambulance services don't seem to like people knowing where their HART resources are located, so they're not marked on maps like normal ambulance stations are.
Oh, my bad. I'm honestly still trying to understand the forums. Sorry about that.
Its been up'd to 24 for fire stations in the update
Hello, I was wondering what is the mechanism behind the tags of forum members?
Right now it says I'm a "beginner", at what point does this change to the next level up?
Is it related to the length of time on the forum or the number of posts or something like that? or is there a way to relate I to the length of time playing the game?
I ask because I've been playing MC for more than a year now and would consider myself a little more than a "beginner" at this point?
I know it doesn't really matter, but to some people in the forum, they may not take on the input of someone labelled as "Beginner" as much as say an "Intermediate" or "experienced", even though they may have been playing the game a long time and just not joined this forum until recently.
Thanks!
The idea of being able to upgrade individual units is an intriguing one. This would also bring an extra bit of strategy into the game, of deciding whether or not to send units with the upgrades or a regular base unit will suffice.
Or for adding foam to water carriers, or a welfare augment to a BASU unit?
I like these ideas also - they'd probably need to introduce a Foam tender before a foam upgrade could be added to WrCs and a dedicated welfare unit before a welfare upgrade for both BASU and ICCU (possibly Crew Carrier as well) would be needed a bit all great ideas!.
I think the ability to upgrade units, in general, would be a great addition, like adding extra capabilities to ambulances to carry more advance equipment or traffic cars to have a TPAC addon (although a TPAC may be more suited as a staff training course)
Firstly, I personally don't get what it is for???
Is it for a situation where say I have 5 ambulance stations in one place (to accommodate a large number of ambulances In that single IRL station), I use this "complex" to combine them into 1 building which will show a list of all the vehicles in those 5 stations at once?? (EDIT: having read what I put below, it cant' be used to combine 5 ambulance stations, but maybe that should be the use for it)
I have asked members of my alliance for feedback to pass onto you and will post with an update during the weekend but here are some initial comments so far:
(Edit: I forgot to attach the image I mentioned!)
Hi Jordie
Complete novice, looking to learn. I'm from the South West.
How do I join your alliance
Thats_Spicey
Hi Thats_Spicey apologies for the late reply.
You can join our Alliance by follwing this link: https://www.missionchief.co.uk/alliances/284
We look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks! Jordie8396
with special interest of players covering the following regions:
► South East England (excl. London)
► South West England
► East Midlands/Eastern England
► Northern England/Scottish boarders
► Northern Scotland (Highlands & Islands)
► Mid & West Wales
Although we will consider recruits from all other areas as well.
We are also proud to announce the launch of our Buddy Scheme - an initiative to help new, inexperienced players earn more, and therefore level up and expand quicker. The scheme involves experienced players sharing high-value missions for new players to send a single unit to, thus the new player receiving the full payout of the mission as well!
Do you guys have plans for an fire update
I Believe there are plans for another fire update in the future, but it will come after the big Police Update; which will come after the next EMS update. - none of which have any kind of timeframe set as far as I can make out from other posts.
Speaking of whilst it's not technically not a police vehicle will we see bobbies on the beat added eventually?
I personally don't see a need for this, since any incidents they would deal with would require a vehicle to attend anyway to take prisoners away.
So basically like how you have select X ammount of RRV's for the ARR, it will dispatch X ammount of trained personnel?
Essentially yes.
Although I would guess if it was a double crewed ambulance it wald have to send/be counted as 2.
You can do this with the current AARR set up.
Just as CC as a custom category to units that have Critical Care staff assigned.
Do not tick the dispatch just as custom class box.
This way it will dispatch is either it's normal class or can dispatch as CC
I did use this extensively as I worked to add CC staff to all ambulances.
I know this, however as I said in my original post, I don't like having them all in the same custom category - since that is the category which is shown dispatch centre/alarm window - plus i also use custom categories do define different types of types of each vehicle (HEMS RRV vs Ambulance service Trust RRV etc.)
It would probably be better for us to make the mission require a certain number of police officers rather than vehicles
That sounds like a better implementation, providing they introduce a crew carrier style unit for police
Leading on from this, could it be possible to make say an event police van/operational support unit, that counts as like 2 (or more) police cars for use at planned events such as concerts? since right now having to use up 7 police units at a single concert (for an hour) feels excessive when IRL (from what I've experienced) it's usually just teams officers on foot operating from a van or two, with possibly a car for wider patrols.
IK it'll have to wait until they start thinking about police updates, but it'd be something nice to have on the ideas list 
.
Hi,
I'd like to suggest adding a filter for a crew's (or assigned crew's) specific training. the main use of this would be for critical care staff, where you can just have a critical care ARR button and it sends the nearest unit with a CC trained crew member onboard/assigned to it.
I know you can assign your own custom vehicle categories for a similar effect but I'd prefer an ambulance, RRV, GP etc. to not all be grouped into the one catogory.
This could come in useful in the future as well if more types of training are added - since not all CC staff may be trained with all other types of training (if you get what I mean).
I'd be interested to see your opinions in this idea,
Thanks,
