Suggestion - Allow people with WL jobs to do life invader jobs
Assurance
I have read the README.md
Summary
This has been something the community has discussed and suggestions upteen times but when I went through the GitHub I couldn’t see anything.. not sure if it hadn’t been suggested or if it was closed but wanted to open a suggestion anyway from a CIV pov.
It’s no secret that civilians on Legacy have very little to do because the server is catered more towards crims when it comes to activities to make money. Mining, Hunting and Diving are the top three for civs who are not using a Life Invader job too. It’s come to my attention not only from my own experience on the server, but from other civ’s that when you’re locked to a WL job such as Mechanic you are limited on the activities to do throughout the day. I understand jobs such as Waste Collector, Trucking and Delivery are a source of income, but they could and should be “activities” at this point in the server.
Not sure how this could be possible, but if those three jobs I just explained could have a clock in and clock out system and their depots, allowing people with WL jobs (Minus PD , EMS and DOC- as someone said they should be excluded when this was discussed in the past) to do these activities alongside their main job.
Primarily this is not to be used as a source of income, but to create RP and give civilians things to do other than the three grindy, boring and overran activities that everyone does daily. Mechanics especially do not make as much money as people think with the price of materials, and since civilians are limited to only diving due to chop being a criminal activity, it’s very rarely profitable.
Reason
Civilian RP is stale, and when I’ve been doing it for 2/3 years - when at one point Diving was really the only other activity we could do as a mechanic, it dries out easily. Hunting and Mining are okay, but you rarely get the interaction as you would running trash for example. All these activities could also provide group interaction.
I think this would be great! Specially as mechanic been able to do some tracking or trash runs without loosing your WL job.
Gives more variety to legal citizens on their day to day as well.
There is quite a few activities that you can do as a legal person, just you have to RP to figure them out. You are not supposed to have 2 jobs, also doesn't quite make too much sense.
Generally i'm not really a big fan of this idea. Rather i would want to add new legal activities not locked to jobs than have people do multiple jobs.
I think Trash/Delivery should be all-anyone jobs. Delivery places like Amazon do hire people off the streets to work part time and deliver packages. Trash would be the harder one to argue as it wouldn't make sense but it's one of those things that is the lowest starter tier job. Only thing is a few illegal "crim" starter items start from trash so it's a bit weird for civs.
