During my time here on Convoy Trucking, you will always see the arguement "Cops Who Weigh Are Noobs". Lets face the facts. They're not noobs, its called you got caught. That's not my arguement/suggestion. In fact, you got caught for a mission that would pay you the same amount as if you were in a convoy with some one; however, you're not in a convoy, you got caught and you lost some money.
My Suggestion:
Increase the amount of money given when overloaded.
Why?:
Simple. Why overload when i can just join a convoy and get damn near the same amount, or the same amount. Being overloaded should be unique (There is a score for it. Whether or not it affects main score or not.) It should be fun, and risky. There should be more of an advantage being overloaded then in a convoy.
All i suggest is that there be a SMALL..SLIGHT increase in the percentage given while being overloaded. As currently, i can just join a convoy and get the same amount and be safe. I want a challenge and i think the server would like more of one too, and increasing the amount will make more cops weigh, and make more people over load ( They make a tiny bit more )
Tell me what you think.
Should there be a slight increase with the money while overloading?
Bangor.
Please, just +1 or -1, do not create fights. If you have an idea, please add on. Do not rip apart anyone for there idea. This is a free world, and server, and people have the right to their own opinion
:trainsguy:
BIG +1
and btw i think u get even more in convoy than /overload.
Yeah not 100% but i know, its not worth overloading, because the payout is just as good as convoying. But remember i'm not saying. lets over load and get 100k...maybe like 1-3k more.. Something small. Just so it makes you say:
"Hmm..Maybe ill overload this"
Not
"Hm..I can overload..but i can make just as much as convoying..and no cops.."
-1! remove overloading possiblity to avoid weighting, and all will be happy!!!
Overloading, is one of the most important factors of Trucking. This is a trucking server, it belongs here. Just got to either avoid cops or take the long way, like in real life.
He's not saying complete do away with overloading, he's saying just make it worth more to overload.
I always disliked the fact that overloading in convoy got removed.
It was one of the unique things here in CT.
Well yes +1

Wait.. it was removed?..
Yeeeeeeeeees +1
1
Yup +1 :D
Just a few questions Bangor
Would it be that the convoy leader overloads and affects the whole convoy ?
If one person of the convoy or the leader of the convoy gets caught does that mean the whole convoy will be caught and fined ?
I am leaning towards yes but I will just want your answers on how you will think it will work.
He is not trying to bring back overload to convoys....
He wants the reward for overload to be raised so its worth doing it

Well either way, it makes perfect sense:)
It has been special in the past and should be special again. It makes CT unique:)
If you overload you complete the mission quicker than in convoy. It's up to you, if you don't think it's worth it, don't overload.
+1 :not_bad: :OK: :not_bad:

Yeah but, not many people over load anymore. As in its becoming pointless. Why overload, get caught..and lose money when i can just convoy? There should be some thrill. Like WOW if i over load this i can make a little bit more. But Oh no, have to watch out for cops!
It makes it a little more exciting, and will bring some attention back to overloading trucks.

+1 Nice idea.

If the payoff was too big, players will pay their cop friends to escort them.

Simple solution to this: a bigger penalty for getting caught overloaded.

cops have no reason to escort single truckers in the first place. They are only allowed to escort securicar drivers and catch suspects and collect the fines. So if there was a cop escorting it would get noticed quickly and he would be punished.
/overload was epic back then, but it died since it was disabled for convoys due to Lindsey if im correct.
Overloading gave trucking that extra feeling, and as always stated: If you dont want to get caught, dont overload at all.
what Konali said :P
A big +1
My +1!
+1
Overload is pointless now ;)
