tracking device

<< < (2/4) > >>

Reginmund:
so you craft or buy the device and if you activate it (or its is automatically turned on after installation) then you have 7 days to search for it if somebody has managed to take your key/lockpick it successfully in an encounter.

Whats to stop anybody from, if successful, being able to interact with the device (high science and repair + supertoolkit?) and changing the frequency? or is this fixed based on what freq you request from vendor you buy it at (T-ray and others??) or what you set in the first place. Next question will be that if you make it yourself what's stopping you from using the same frequency as another vehicle out there with one of these attached?

wezu:
It's good, but I'd make a small change. You'd craft a emiter and a reciver. Using one on the other will make them both use the same frequency and that's the only way to tune the thing.
Nobody would use it if there is a chance that some random guy will find your car, tent and base just by scaning all radio chanels and typing a command.

Haterade:
agreed with wezu, i think it would be nice to craft both emitter and receiver by one click in crafting menu (yup, so that their compatibility wont get f...d) with alloys/el parts, etc.

Vindict:
I think you guys are right.

the chance of someone using the same frequency is very small, but still I wouldn't like to risk my car and base. so there should be a transmitter and a reciever, and each crafted or bought pair should have a unique frequency so it's safe.

also, the thing with putting small energy cells is also not so good. it would be too much annoying to not only refuel the car, but also the transmitter.


I'll change the first post so it's clear


and thanks for your feedback. any more suggestions/opinions?

igooor:
this is a wasterland, not a high tech laboratory - tracking device sounds weird especially when you look on that rusty cars you want to track.
But instead I think it is a good idea to make cars in the game - numbered. So if someone have stolen your car and you occasionally meet a car in the game - you will be able by using info tool (this will write to chatbox the number of the car) to know exactly that this is your former car. This could be linked to real life situation that car's engines and some other parts of cars has unique numbers. And in real life you will always know your car for some specific features, especially when this is a rusty, 100 years old car.
So maybe if you are strong enough, and people who have stolen your car know it, they will be afraid to drive on it and will sell them. So this will bring some interesting aspect to the game.
So suggest public unique numbers for cars.
