Hi all!



Just thought I'd pop my ugly head in here and suggest a time on scene clock. This would be beneficial for those in alliances who have set minimums on releasing patients as a Transport Administrator



What I'm thinking is along the lines of "Time until Arrival" being a set clock for units who are on scene to progress how long each individual unit has been on the scene.



What are your thoughts?

What are your thoughts?

Personnaly I'd like to see lifeguards & hazmat pumpers

I'd love to see HAZMAT Pumpers, as they're a different kind of something! Lifeguards would be good with the addition of "Shark Sighting" or something if you've got a station near a beach.

1st point - lifesaving.
Sorry to correct you but briefly looking through the links I posted, there are over 314 affiliated (with Surf Life Saving) surf life saving clubs around Australia. This figure also does not include all of the other lifesaving clubs that are not affiliated with Surf Life Saving Australia. There are 3 SLS clubs in the NT (not that you want to swim with the crocs up there), 22 in South Australia , 31 in WA, 57 in Victoria, 129 in NSW, 21 in Tas, and 59 in QLD.
(also compares with the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard - AVCG, there are lots of flotillas across Australia, but also many more coastguard and marine rescue flotillas across Australia that are not affiliated with AVCG)

My "very basic of searches" has produced fairly in-depth results. This is suggesting that the information that was being discussed with the developers was not clear-cut or complete.

2nd point - half truths:
Given the developer's workloads and competing priorities, I'm really glad that they gave us this update for SES, they didn't have to at all, but it has been a long time coming. I know from my own knowledge that Corbz and I have been giving advice to the other content advisors regarding what it should look like, and there would be countless other players that would have also given their input. The narrative is that there are a lot of players on here who freely give their suggestions about future content for Missionchief, who then don't suggest further content as they are driven away with responses like the one that I have received back from you.

Like anything in life, the feedback that we often receive never includes the good feedback, it is often left unsaid

To add on to this, Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR) in Tasmania is operated by qualified SLST (Surf Life Saving Tasmania) members. I can guarantee this as I was a member of VMR Ulverstone.

What you need to understand is its impossible to put indeterminate vehicles into the game. We constantly have people suggesting vehicles that only apply to NSW and seeing this is an Australian based platform not purely a NSW based one, we wont see these types of vehicles. That's why there is no police rescue and the likes. Even with the latest content you will note we had to find a nondescript name because every state calls theirs something different, i had to interview people in different states to get an idea of how their organisations worked ( again because they're all different) and try to combine it into something somewhat realistic for all states. That's also why there wont be lifeguard component as such because some states dont have them at all and some programs are run by the local council and so on.

So whilst i understand your quest for realism, expecting vehicles to be added purely for NSW's sake just isnt able to happen. We can't draw a big red line around the state and say these vehicles are only available here and nowhere else. So the suggestion above is a valid one to enable you to achieve what you want to, if you chose to.

The problem with this is; and hear me out; having travelled through different states during my official capacity as a firefighter, I've seen logistical assets used in every state (including other assets being moved interstate for logistical supports (see what I did there?) There are plenty of images, and if you do decide to actually do some research based on these logistical support assets, you might find that you're in fact, incorrect.

Please, do not take this as a snap, purely one Australian trying to further the knowledge of another.

If you do have any issues/inquiries, you're welcome to shoot me a message for further consideration.

Thanks!
