By the way, you guys think car damage and heat should stick between raids? If so, we need a new skill as well - Mechanics/Tuning/Whatever which allows the liberal to repair and customize Liberal vehicles. But first things first - the chases.

That would be cool, I'd like all the bullet-holes and blood stains to detract from resell value... Perhaps you even get strange looks from the car salesman!

[Jonathan S. Fox]

I do think damage/heat should carry forward.

One LONG wanted feature (goes back to Toady's notes) is the ability to get pulled over. Specifically, the ability to get pulled over by abusive Gang Unit cops and beat up for doing nothing.

Just like in the beginning of GTA: San Andreas.

Except this time it's a group of armed terrorists!

And on another note, what'cha guys think of truly liberal vehicles like bicycles and electric cars?

[EuchreJack]

They should be included, and driving SUVs in an Elite Liberal society should be a crime, punishable by immediate confiscation of the offending vehicle.

But the priority is cool car combat.

You know what I think this calls for? Oh yeah, that's right, I'm making another one. New Issue Crucibilification is go!

Car Usage
C+: Car companies receive tax breaks for producing gigantic gas-guzzling cars in the interest of being "100% American".
C: High-MPG cars dominate the market, quickly draining the world's oil reserves.
M: Hybrid cars are popular, but token government support leaves them only a minority.
L: Hybrid and Electric cars dominate the market, and full-gas car users are heavily taxed.
L+: By law, only full-electric cars can be bought, sold, or used. Gasoline is illegal.

Moving conservative will be an act to "Liberate the Car Industry".
Moving liberal will be an act to "Ensure Societal Sustainability".

Now, for effects. First, I suggest the addition of Hummers to the game, because of how much the H1 can be seen as a symbol of Arch-Conservatives. Now, at C+ it becomes easier to find trucks, Hummers, Sportscars, Police Cruisers, and SUV's on car stealing missions, and their car dealer price decreases. At C the same is true, but lessened. In addition, a hybrid bug and only a hybrid bug becomes available, which is extremely rare and expensive. At M, the prices of all cars are, well, moderate. There are hybrid versions of all but the conservative cars, and an electric bug. At L, the full gas cars vanish except for the conservative cars, which now have hybrid versions as well (except the Hummer). All cars except the conservative cars now have electric versions. At L+, all hybrid and gas cars vanish off of the market, and the conservative cars (except the Hummer) finally get electric versions. Non-electric cars become illegal to possess. Molotovs can no longer be bought, as they require gasoline.

At Car Usage L+, Free Speech C+, the firemen use electric flamethrowers.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

At Car Usage L+, Free Speech C+, the firemen use electric nuclear flamethrowers.

[Angel Of Death]

At Car Usage L+, Free Speech C+, Nuclear Power C+ the firemen use electric nuclear flamethrowers.

[Soadreqm]

How about nuclear cars?

[Funk]

nuclear cars there a C+ thing, maybe link it to nuclear power i.e. nuclear-powered car are commen place.
