Also, instead of nerfing, how about a boost to car mechanics, and train mechanics. Don't let every single person in the wasteland be able to see your spot when ever you enter an encounter. Be hidden if you drive a car with good oudoorsman. Make buying those expensive cars actually worth the money.Maybe the pathfinder perks could help hide your car from every single wastelander out there, or as an addition to "Scout" or "Explorer". Maybe add "Cautious Nature" to allow your vehicle to be hidden better if needed.
An easy suggestion which would make car far more usefull: when you have an encounter with your car, only you and your party can see the location on the WM, and not everyone. Like that, you gonna be able to park your car near a town without have it lockpicked in the 10 min, and can still get it back when you die in encounter.
This game is based on campaigns and battles.you want to travel safely, your opponents want to rob you, and come home by car.the game can not do without meetings and encounters.
You totally missed the point of the suggestion. Noone said you could avoid encounter and noone will have any chance to find your car. It will be like radio signals, with only the driver and his party who see the location, and not all the fucking wasteland like now.
i totally want this suggestion to be in game, cars would be much more worth that way, i remember i owned a car and i never used it, just because of being afraid that someone gonna rob me. especially those evil lockpickers.and i disagree with suggestion of Scout, finding cars, unless you have to go through Exact same coordination where car is dropped and the chance is 50%
