Woah, I sense a lot of sarcasm. Can I just say your remarks again calling us our for acting like kids? Yet you won’t appreciate other people’s opinions by calling them excuses.

Can I just point out:

On the rules it does state:

2.Insults
a) An insult is any statement, remark, comment, or threat that offends anyone

Quite offended to your reply to calling them excuses along with now calling 2 people childish for standing up for their own points/statements. I do not hate semas, I’m voicing my opinion... Like you and like others.

Unfortunately it comes a point in time when people will start up and shout they feel targeted because people are SIMPLY VOICING THEIR OPINION. Of which we are allowed to do on this forum.

And to your statement saying we try and find any possibility to try and stop it being added is a very broad thing to say, Seeing we only have a few reasons.

Oh well this topic has for some reason ended badly cuz Aparently we are not allowed to voice our opinion.

Moderators if you could please kind of act upon this forum and maybe seek a resolution. No arguments need to be caused over voicing opinions.

Thanks

Edit: to that “joke don’t take it as a fact” ok why say it if you don’t want it to become a fact? But anyway I will continue to not voice my opinion until the matter is resolved

I actually like the police related incidents that are suggested, Customer trouble... idk what’s its like in different counties, but in the UK you will sometimes find that come under 1 unit being attached but again it’s not uncommon for many units to attend as every incident is different.

But very nice suggestions.

“Not making the game easy by any means” ok riddle me this, FREE! building having vehicles in, Surly that’s a easy way out of paying like 700k (for me anyway) for a fire station.

Also calling it a excuse... Hmm opinions opinions. It’s a highly important fuctional entity within the game which tbh wouldn’t be able to house a vehicle in anyway probs by the looks of things. I’m sure a moderator will be able to clear this up cuz there seems to be a high level of confusion...

Also your expression of “I'm not asking for the to behave like a fire station, but it would be nice if it could hold let's say 5 command related units such as Batallion Chief and MCV.“ totally contradicts anything you have said. I’m not trying to start arguments but, Calling members responses to a idea a “excuse” really isn’t pleasant and not needed and can provoke a argument being discharged.

Also got to take into account people will start developing these graphics on mass scale, people download them coins are given out, Then the dev looses out of people buying coins which is the main income from this game. It’s a good idea just in my eye’s doesn’t seem practical.

And as “me181” said, May lead to stolen graphics for personnel gain.

The dispatch centre should not itself contain vehicles for the reason that it is not it's function, there is already a lot going on in the building, controlling all vehicles, buildings, events, training and of course the settings. They're already a complicated thing to get around for new players and adding vehicles on top is just unnecessary, particularly, when you can just add a station next to it to dispatch the relevant vehicles from. There are completely different setups regarding vehicles that are kept near these buildings and it would be impossible to have a system that works for all. It would therefore not be appropriate to implement.

exactly my point In real life Terms some dispatch centres have vehicles... However in Missionchief terms, dispatch centre is like a control panel for the game. It’s pointless having vehicles in a dispatch centre seeing a dispatch centre is “FREE”

You got to remember, If you add vehicles to dispatch centres it will mean the developer will make the game easier which he does not want from what I can tell. You also got to realise that it will also decrease the amount the game earns through coins as it’s a free building, which then you will see lack of development as the dev won’t be able to sustain the game if coins massively drop.

You got to remember, a dispatch centre is more then just a “building” as such. It also houses a lot of settings etc compared to a building like fire etc, for me I have just put a building next to it/on it. I personally don’t see the point in having a dispatch centre having vehicles as it’s “like” a control terminal for your game. I use my dispatch centres as where the control room would be Aka dispatch etc.

Unfortunately, even though this is a good idea, It wouldn’t work for people like me.

I can sometimes have a response time of 15-20 minutes for Police in rural area’s, and that’s realistic to a extent sometimes.

Nice idea but don’t think it would work in practice.

Yep members of the alliance I’m in seem very happy. It’s nice to see the team listening to what we have to say about improvements/ideas.

Yey, It’s been added!!!

Finally we can expand our station and those who have very large stations IRL can now play realistically properly now.

Again, I do not belive it would be the fact that it’s the “5th” safest country, Seeing that I did a little research and Acording to WEF (World economic forum) Hong Kong is the 5th safest according to a study last year.

However to stay on topic! going back to whether realistic or a need... Well my view point is, It really depends where you are based. I’m guessing the majority of players have realistic setups with that being said they should have the option to actually do that, I have Ambulance station which has around 18-21 vehicles in them. It’s clearly a feature people want, whether they have realistic setups or not. Since you seem not to have large fleet at designated locations you could just not take effect to the feature, like “some” people will, But for many many... many players, Expecially in the UK and further, it’s a feature which seems to be highly requested.

I do agree that they shouldn’t remain at 100k maybe like 200-300k you can’t put a massive price on them tho.

Also being the 5th safest country doesn’t really do anything to how much police you have (in my opinion) it’s all about budget and public interest. You say about specialist unit and qoute “aside from special units like K9 and SWAT” so why would you be surprised about having 15+ Vehicles in buildings. Guess someone didn’t look at the rest of the world haha naw only messing. The UK is regarded “safe” to a set level, Portugal will be regarded “safe” to a set level. All areas have crime, it’s just whether it’s reported etc but I’ll keep on topic and say quite a lot countries in the world will have more then 15+ Vehicles in many of their stations in their country.

What has wanting more vehicles at stations got to do with Syria? If a few stations have more than 15 vehicles at it then we should be allowed to buy that many vehicles. I can’t see how this would hurt the game and it has the potential to generate more coins for Sebastian

My view exactly... Syria has nothing to do with this...

At the end of the day it will make people either pay coins or play the game even more to earn more to expand. I’m currently here having to pay nearly 4.4 million credits for seperate stations (fully upgraded) yet it should be under one or two within the complex. Having to pay 4.4 million to get it all upgraded is delaying my expansion on other services IE Fire and Ambo.

Hopefully Sebastian will see the need/demand for this...

I never have any issue in that regard, yeah sometimes missions can be a little off, But it shouldn’t effect the play style.

I have had to build 4 police stations costing 400k credits and on top of that a further 4.4 MILLION (not precisely just average) to get them fully expanded, this is because I have a depot/base that is for specialist vehicles. Since we can only have 14 bays I have had to buy 4 stations to cover the police depot/base.

Having more bays in all stations (fire, police, Ambo) would be amazing. Not to sound rude but I don’t understand why it not a thing that’s happened already and it seems it’s highly requested regardless...

These are good ideas and I like them.

However, foot patrols I belive wouldn’t work as the dev I believe wouldn’t be able to set the speed the vehicles or “Identities” go. Nice idea tho and it would be amazing to have that.

Following on from the APC talk, I personally do not see the point in this, it would be like the fly car situation where it’s somewhat pointless and get overthrown by a Ambo, or in the APC case A SWAT truck.

SWAT SUV would be an amazing addition also, I believe it has been mentioned before with somewhat good success.

Overall great ideas but practically some wouldn’t work

That would be a really good call to have within the game. Wish they would add more specialised medical personnel/vehicles, Think it’s been commented on before idk.

I don’t see the point of a fire house... basically like the same as a fire station. Building expansion I have seen comments on the forums before regarding this and correct me if I’m wrong (that goes to any mods) I believe it may have also been taken up with the dev. Hopefully they will add it so we can have larger stations with more than 14 bays.

However, Main reason I believe why the station list price goes up, is to keep the member working hard to earn that money which also contributes to hours played. Cuz at the end of the day if the price list didn’t go up, You would complete areas so fast without much challenge.

With the current state of purchasing things within missionchief, I and a lot more other don’t seem to have a problem with paying the current price for them....

For example, My Police set up... I’m currently building my Police depot which has 4 sectors, all which will need fully expanding resulting in a total of nearly 1.1 million each let alone vehicles or personnel.

It’s all about setting goals and working towards them.

Alliance’s are great, Some alliances you are required to donate which is their own option, However I personally don’t like a donation requirement. Alliance can help you develop and also help out others, so I wouldn’t go to far to blame alliance. As a person in the 9th biggest alliance, I’ve seen and like many first hand what being in alliance can achieve.

My point is, Take it step by step. Don’t look at the figure required. Just save up and eventually you will reach your goal. Simple

Very nice, Medical Services here in the UK are interesting to develop. All share the important characteristics of a medical service, however each service (whether its south west ambulance service or London ambulance service) is also so different and unique.

Hey all

Just thought I would spark a debate/convo, What is your choice of service you like developing in your setup and why.

For me personally, I prefer developing my Police set up as I have a better understanding of the police in my area.
