[Q] Vehicles ownership - (un)lock, personal garage, FIA garage, inventory

[IrLED]

Current veh ownership mechanics are broken IMHO. Current implementation:

• (Un)lock works only for unlocking, locking is only available for Commander
• Commander can unlock any locked vehicle.
• vehicle stored to FIA garage(for public access?) counts as personal

Locking mechanics are prone to be exploited. E.g. blocking-barricading of key spots (grieving-unfair gameplay)

I'd like to gather ideas/opinions about that veh ownership topic

There are 2 separate things:

1. Lock/Unlock of vehicle in the world vehicles purchased are locked by default apart the military vehicle bought by a commander.

2)Garage Ownership: everyone can lock/unlock (maybe we've to change the words to avoid confusion) their own vehicle which are locked by default. Commander can unlock player vehicles if he feels to.

About 1, i'd say that would be more simple having everything unlocked and lock only on purpose... Barbolani told that this mission is for everyone and so there should be a way to prevent other people getting in the vehicle you've just bought.

About 2, fix FIA garage and make it garaging the vehicle as unlocked.

I'm not sure about a brand new concept, i've no idea on how to make it otherwise. About exploits... i tend to give importance to exploits you can't control... on the other hand, when someone intentionally do something well.. fuck off.. kick, byebye.

Just found possible bug - vehicle owned by playerA can be stored to personal garage by playerB (lock is disregarded)

Put owned vehicle directly to the garage after buying = no problem with lock/unlock

I've talked to @AlexTriada on this topic and he asked me to share with you some of his ideas:

1. When you buy a car, it initially appears in the garage. You are the owner of this car and only you can get it out of the garage.
2. The owner of the car is permanently attached to it. Ownership can be changed only by the owner. The old owner remains even if someone else stores the car in the garage.
3. Only vehicle's owner and the commander can get the car out of the garage without the change of ownership.
4. Car's owner can lock the car in the garage interface. A locked car will be automatically locked when it's spawned.
5. Only vehicle's owner and the commander can unlock a car.
