Hello Community,
I have always liked to share my opinions and suggestions to others. So, I am farming for the mechanic right now and I faced some difficulty in finding the designated vehicle (i.e. Vehicles to be scrapped or vehicles to be fixed) as many idle vehicles are nearby making it difficult to find at once.

Yes, after some time you will perfectly know the place as vehicles spawn at same places but for the new players its really difficult to find the vehicles which needs to be fixed or scrapped.
Solution:
Markers such as

above the car or an arrow can make it.
I hope this improve the gameplay and be an ease to the new players as well.

It seems a simple idea, but it helps a lot. I believe it can save lots of time finding abandoned vehicles.  :tick:

yes, I agree, it's a good idea, sometimes there are vehicles in the side streets, it takes a while to find, it wouldn't be bad to add something like the above. Positive  :tick:
If CIT had been created before MTA, MTA would have been a server of CIT.

Ye blips can be useful though  which can highlight the vehicle from other vehicles making it easer to identify.

I believe it is a very helpful Idea but I can see multiple problems with this :

- There are alot of instances where Scrap cars stack on 1 location, it will be a eye sore to see multiple marks when you approach that spot.
- There are instances/location where scrap cars spawn on a location where there is a Static veh side by side with, it does not fully solve this situation.


My suggestion rather is, instead of a Marker on the scrap car I would like to add a red or green GLOW To the cars that could be scrapped, But then the glow will be removed if the car is either Attached to the hook, but the glow will also comeback if it got detached.

Just imagine THIS WORD is the car to scrapped, it should look like this.

Simple and good idea, as all the jobs in the server got a marker on it so it would be fair enough to put a marker for the Mechanic job too.

The main thing here needed is to just highlight the designated vehicle by which a newbie can identify the vehicle to tow. It twice happened to me that there were many cars nearby and I was in search of the scrap car and another mechanic came and took the car while I was even searching. It felt really annoying and fraustrated due to lack of sight of vehicle. The main focus and aim here is to identify the car from distance just like the pizza delivery house gets highlighted from above, this would be better in my case. Feel free to state if you got any other reasons too.

Idk how long you have been doing mechanic job but I believe as time pass on and you get used to being mechanic you will find and understand few things such as
- You can memorize all the spot where scrap cars respawn
- You can see if there is another mechanic going for the scrap car via minimap.

So believe with the situation you said where someone "stole" your scrap car. It can easily be avoided if you've been a mechanic long enough. Besides for newbies, that situation doesnt come by pretty often, does not disrupt the experience as a whole, in fact the little sense of competition it gives actually improves the experience of the Mechanic job

Voting Positive, This idea is simple and sounds great, I think it would be very useful if it was added to the server. I dont think it will have a negative effect.
