IMO this is not needed, the demand of ammo and weapons does not require "automated batch production", this also allows other crafters to have a chance to make a profit when you run out of items to sell which helps the economy flow.

Ok, now first of all im gonna start off with the dodge, the main problem here in my opinion is the dodge has amazing handling which it should do, however the traction is way too much. Especialy turning a corner at 60mph without drifting in the slightest; this also being a problem that the acceleration speed of the dodge and the maximum speed is quite low, i mean a dodge is ment to be fast enough to cope with most vehicles in a chase... yet i find i am barley going 60mph around the car dealer due to the fact that it takes so long to accelerate and the max speed is about 60.. which isnt going to cut it in a chase.

Now the viper, the viper is in most regards the direct opposite of the dodge... It handles like you are driving on ice, on turns an excess of 30mph is enough to spin out on a corner completely, as well as the max speed of the viper being something like 70mph+ with great acceleration.

What should be done?
Well personaly i feel like the dodge which is for VIP+ should have moderate handling, drifts at 50mph+ and will spin out on turns at 70mph+. The dodge should reach 0-60 in 4-6 seconds with a max speed of 80-90mph. The traction to the road should be reduced as well to allow drifting at the speed mentioned above.

The viper seeing that it is a vehicle avalible to everyone should have moderate handling, drift at 40mph+ and spin out at 60mph+ with a max speed of around 70-80mph. The viper should be able to reach 60mph in about 6-7 seconds. And have more traction to the road, however seeing as this vehicle should atleast have some aspects of balance between both vehicles, i think this viper should have high durability due to the buffers on the front of the vehicle compared to the dodge which should have moderate durability, since it has no buffers for damage.

No.

1). This is not Perp.
2). The whole point of OCRP2 is to be fun and accessable to everyone, if you set up a quiz which determines if someone is right for the job is downright silly and means that OCRP2 is gonna start turning into Taco'N'OCRP.

I agree, vehicles should only spin out in a turn if one you swing the rear of your vehicle around too fast, the current driving mechanic with wheels that have no traction and no weight to the vehicles prevents cars acting how they normaly would... I mean the Vapid police vehicle when turning will spin out at 30 mph if your not careful and expirienced with the vehicle... Theres just too little control on the direction of where vehicles go, i want to be able to drift with my vehicle around corners, not spin 180 degrees.

You sir! You deserve a medal! I really like that idea. Well thought!

I try .

What i would like first is for the driving mechanics of the dodge and viper to be fixed... It is ridiculos... Going 40mph it feels like you are driving on ice... and when you try and drif turn you end up going into a spin... i prefered the driving mechanics from OCRP 1.5, it actualy felt that your car had grip to the road...

Maybe if the wear is absolutely minimal then it would be fine. Aswell as having someway to know when your AK or w/e is going to wear out. Making sure that the wear level is listed when the gun is being sold is also important.

I don't know, I just feel like it would be quite a bit of work and for what? To add something that isn't really needed when real problems could be getting fixed instead?

I actualy asked a lua coder who works on the gamemode Privateer if such a system would be possible, he said it would be easy to implement within a week of coding. And in responce to a display to notify you of your weapons durability i think that is a good idea, to have a little menu pop up when in your inven while hovering over you wep to show its current durability, as well as to have a display perhaps over the ammo or somewhere on the screen to show your weapons durability.

Ok, now currently for Weapons and ammo craftsmen there abit of a tradeoff when it comes to selling weapons, i mean when you sell someone a gun thats it, they have a gun and they wont really want to buy another one, when he/she dies that gun stays in circulation through looting ect.

My idea is to have a system where guns begin to wear out or break over time, once they reach 0% of their durability the weapons will break and will dissapear from your inventory, then you will have to buy a new weapon. However i also think there should be mid stages within this system to provide another potential skill or perhaps another function of weapon crafting called "Weapon repairing/restoration" where you go to any weapon craftsman and he can repair your weapon for a certain ammount of money.

This is the stats i had in mind for weapons at various percentages of durability:

• 100% Durability, 100% Dmg 100% Aim.
  75% Durability, 80% Dmg 80% Aim. Cost of repair: 25% of Crafting price.
  50% Durability, 50% Dmg 50% Aim. Cost of repair: 35% of Crafting price.
  25% Durability, 20% Dmg 20% Aim. Cost of repair: 65% of Crafting price.
  0% Durability*, 0% Dmg 0% Aim, weapon is destroyed.

The whole purpose of the increase in penalty to aim. damage and repair cost as your weapon reduces in durability is to in essence force players to repair their weapon on a regular basis cheaper, yet to add a function where it will keep weapon crafters in buisness and improve the money around the weapon crafting buisness.
