And btw, I don't think people can encounter anything within the square of a big green circle (city)
Actually you can, simply noone will wander there... before your post may be.
Eh, I have the advantage of mercs. So no biggy.
Mich, you cant leave mercs in an encounter, you have to log off to get them to stay.Also, people use car thief alts to search around the fortress and other areas like san fran all the time. you'll see that car go poof really fast if you leave it in those areas.Between myself and my friends we've found at least 8 or more cars within the space of a week or two just by searching the usual spots where people park to trade.In short mich, you plan is fail.-Ulrek-
Only in highly concentrated areas such as gunrunners of course. Places like Den and Vault City etc, it works perfectly fine. Mercs are still useful because you can bring mercs, get done what you need done, come back, and if anyone found car they'll get obliderated.
Unless they lock pick it and leave first, i've found cars at redding, san fran, and my friends have found them at vault city, NCR, hub, and the fortress.Also, Unless you ambush people, those mercs won't save you from campers. and you're paying large amounts of caps for them and risking them while just wandering around.-Ulrek-
