not sure if this was suggested before or not but i think its a necessity to implement this suggestion as having your car to break randomly after hitting a bunch of poles in the middle of nowhere leaves you with no other option but destroying the car so you can respawn it for 2.4k.This is where the repair kits come in the scene - so you can repair the car by yourself, so you dont have to pay 2.4k worth of cash and so you dont have to waste time waiting for your car to arrive again.This does, however beg the question "what of the mechanic skill?it'll be super useless as if its not already."I was thinking of setting the price tag of these kits around 1.9k or so in order for them not to cost more than the 2.4k limit where you'd rather just respawn your car however it shouldn't cost less than having a mechanic do it for you.The idea is that it should be somewhere in between.This could be a bit more interractive if the user has to open the front hood of the vehicle and open the front truck in order to fix it, which should also be paired with an animation of some sort.
while we are at it i think the mechanic skill should get some love, if your car breaks down as of right now the only choice you have is to destroy it and respawn a new one.there should be some kind of encouragement to play as a mechanic.even if you choose to increase the amount of payout a mechanic gets it still wont get any much better as the players are better off getting their new cars for 2.4k rather than waiting a lot for a mechanic to come, the idea is that there should be something to make the mechanic service a lot more instant - im more than certain players will start using it if yall come up with something to make that skill enjoyable and actually efficient.
i might just be wrong in all this as im not quite old to the game as many of you are, its just a perspective of mine about the mechanic skill
