Medic question

[[TC]»Pete«]

Chuck to be fair. We've allowed people to use RES and MED tags on our servers so why not give them realistic extras too?

I mean IRL an ambulance is allowed to use sirens and strobes as are fire engines. It seems silly not to allow them to use sirens and strobe. Fair enough, TOW vehicles aren't allowed such privileges because they're not classed as emergency vehicles.

Remember that the only vehicles that can use !siren/+/- are COP's HwA's & VCU's. I class !siren as the most effective way of telling people to get out of the way so allowing such extras for MED and RES can't hurt.

I really don't have a problem with it, but like I said, I'll bring it up at the next team meeting.

Ok, I've spoken with Chuck and what we're thinking is the following:

Keeping in mind that there aren't actually any rules regarding roleplay vehicles. The only rule we have is this:

Rules Wrote:2.3. Strobe/Flashing lights should never be used by civilians. They are reserved for use by Emergency and Recovery vehicles.

This basically means that strobes are reserved for COPs, HwAs, VCU's & TOW's (At Scene).

Nothing's final atm but we think it best to allow res and med to use themed skins, but not allow them to use sirens and strobe. The thinking behind this is that if we give RP cars priority over general traffic, then people will get bored and start ignoring them. This is bad when a cop tries to get past. RP cars can speed and pass traffic but they have NO priority over general traffic.

This might not be a popular idea but it's the best idea in the grand scheme of things.
