CAR PRICES!
« on: September 19, 2010, 08:52:11 am »

I went to buy a roach today and it was 14k! It's rare enough trying to find a FCC then you gotta cough up 14k for a crappy car? There's no point in buying the roach at 14k when you could just save up for a buggy. I suggest lowering the price of a roach to 2.5k + the FCC. It's just cheaper, and will give low level players a chance at getting a cheap car early on if they happen to find a FCC out in the wastes. The roach should be that cheap loner's car for 1 charisma builds and low level chars, since it only fits one. It should be the first thing players buy after getting a tent.

14k for a noobie car is too expensive, and I think everyone can agree that the price needs to be lowered. Car prices shouldn't necessarily go up in cost because of sales its a big pain to bring 20k with you when the car turns out to be 35k by the time you get there. Forcing the player to go back to their bank/tent/base/w.e and get some more caps and do the run all over again with the slow travelling time.

If we keep car prices low the game will have a more Mad Max feel to it, creating highway battles and what not in the wasteland. If cars become more of a basic thing instead of a luxery we will have more happy players and less rage quitters. FUEL should be more expensive then the car! Remember that was the reason there were little running cars in the fallout universe (No fuel) but by the time micro fusion came out and what not, it was too late. Now we have lots of broken cars that can be easily fixed and fuel you have to craft or spend thousands of caps on. But hey! "Atleast cars are everywhere and easy to make from scrap, now I'm just trying to get rid of them!"

You could even increase the amount of buyable cars in game, just copy the roach model, make a few that are faster, hold more in the trunk, fit more people, etc at higher prices.
Starting car prices could be 2.5k - 5k - 8k - 12k- 15k- 20k- 30k - etc

Only fancy luxury battle cars should be more expensive then bases. But I don't think a car should cost more then 100k ever.
