Suggestion: Robbing Banks and Jacking Tanks
« on: May 17, 2009, 01:57:01 pm »

Hi!

Jonathan, thanks for investing all the time and effort to improve and expand the game. Its very addicting.

I was just curious if you had any plans to implement a bank heist option. Although this is heading towards GTA waters I think it would be perfect for the setting, given the SLA's history. 

Also, why not hijacking a tank for the Glorious Liberal Leader? Why? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vESIVemfG8

Robbing tanks has been suggested by many others many times, although it's good of you to bring it up so we don't forget. I can't wait for bank robberies to be implemented.

Jacking tanks sounds intresting, if a little far-fetched and unbalanced.

It was once possible to talk to tanks about the issues or to date tanks. Doing so can convince the tank to join up with the LCS. This was removed in a later release, instead placed with an easter egg.

The tank shakes his turret a firm no.

But with the new Military issue, it would make sense if an L+ military, what with low pay and all, would be more willing to defect to the LCS.

Or in the far-flung future easter egg having AI tanks at L+ having a mandatory sympathy algorithm and could join up. Also, though I'm totally in favor of the banks, it start to sounds like text-version GTA with the stealing of tanks. Then again, LCS lets you do some things that are more offensive than GTA.

Robbing banks should be implimented... just a new action site filled with people, security guards and a quick police reponse with a "Bank Vault" item that can be interacted with to dispense money to the LCS.

I mean, young Joseph Stalin's forte' was robbing banks to fund the Soviet Revolution back in the day, why can't the LCS take from the capitalist bastards what they took from AMERICA?

Stealing tanks is a little iffy... you cannot steal a tank and get away with it IRL without a lot of heat... It should be a one-shot deal or something that quickly escalates the focus and violent Conservative responses to the LCS and only a squad of Liberals with a high skill level in a relevant catagory should beable to activate it.


You'd need a new Army Camp action site to support the tank-stealing part... not like winning over a tank crew during a seige with the power of Liberal Rock like in the older versions.

If I ever steal/build a tank, I will not be *chased* by police cruisers. ;)

I know discussions of actual views and issues aren't meant for this board, but you gotta love that video.  Heemeyer may have been a delusional psycho, but you have to respect that he actually went through with that brooding final revenge plan we've all rattling around the dark corners of our minds.  Here's to you Marvin, for living the dream.

Worth noting that he didn't actually kill anyone except himself, and there's significant doubt (as usual) regarding the police statements that he tried to kill anyone else. I noticed that alot of the bureaucrats in my area became a bit more polite for a short time after that attack.

I would too if there had just been a tank in the neighborhood.

Hard to say how that happened.  While I'd speculate he didn't want to kill any people he deemed innocent, it's probably luck that kept the individuals he didn't like alive.

By the way, I'm betting our rank on the CIA watch list just jumped with this topic. ;D
