lords8n Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 How about reconsidering this for EMS workers that need a place to park? Running from Courthouse is dangerous and a pain in the ass. Isn't it enough we have to run across that dangerous road to get to our vehicles when we get a call? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Removed Bayview Lodge, Elgin Ave, Lower Pillbox, and Fort Zancudo parking garages" I think that one is gone too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Jones Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 I'm pretty sure the reason those garages were removed, specifically the one near Pillbox to help improve the overall server performance. If it was removed to help the server run better overall I see no reason as to why to add it back. Yes it sucks not having a garage right next to Pillbox to park, but if that was the case with MRPD parking I would remember that the overall server performance for everyone is better than one of the factions having a place to park their cars.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razec Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 From either the Sandy SO or Paleto, our deputies have to run a certain distance to get to their cars. I don't see a massive issue with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a massive issue with that. To be fair, there's significantly less bloodthirsty maniacs speeding 130mph down Alhambra Dr. and Paleto Blvd. looking for juicy prey. Elgin Ave. might as well be a warzone, and I don't see the harm in giving the FD a garage right next to their main "home base," as it were. After all, LSPD has their garage a block away on Sinner St. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yama Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) I honestly don't know the mechanics, does removing the garage optimize server performance that much? I would think having cars sitting around on the streets as rendered entities would be more resource intensive than being stored away, but again, I have no knowledge of the backend. We were told that the parking garages existed for the needs of the apartments and when Integrity Apts was removed, so were the parking garages, which makes sense. Another reason given was that less garages would help tow trucks and taxis, also struggling businesses. I really don't mind either way. I'm proud of my vehicles that I've earned, I'm still going to drive to my work and park them there, even if I don't get to store it safely nearby. I will say however, the first thought in my mind was "Okay, Pillbox is too much of a hassle now, I'm just going to base out of the other hospitals." and I know I'm not alone in that. I'm putting a +1 for a garage near or at Pillbox as suggested. EMS is already struggling with stressed out EMTs and since the Staff are actively looking for ways to get peeps to clock in and reduce stress, why not show a little LSFD love and offer some convenience for convenience sake?

FoxyRainbowz Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 I think it would be handy to have a garage to safely store our vehicles for when we get off duty, but I will say I didn't notice so much jitters near pillbox as I usually did. Though last night pill ox didn't seem as popular as usual. So I guess time will tell. I can say, however that, Any EMS that drive to work, you CAN currently just park in our locked ambulance parking at pillbox, which is safer then leaving it out somewhere, AND you get to just hop in and leave without having to worry about remembering where you parked it or running to a garage to grab it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razec Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 If there was a way to park our personal vehicles in faction garages for later retrieval, I feel like it would solve the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lords8n Posted November 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) I may try putting my vehicle in the Hospital garage and see if it remains through my shift. I think it will because of the constant traffic in the area. This isn't optimal especially when getting off duty for me personally because of the way I work. Here's the scenario for parking in the Hospital garage as I see it... Coming To Work... 1 Arrive at hospital and park my vehicle at lower PB or upper PB. 2 Enter hospital and clock in (optional: do my prep work for my shift). 3 Exit hospital retrieve vehicle and bring into hospital garage 4 Retrieve work vehicle and park or bring to upper PB 5 Do my prep work for shift (if not done in step 2). The main point being I cannot access the hospital garage without clocking in first which means an additional in and out of the hospital. When I leave work it is typically not till I am exhausted or over-stressed so having to perform this in and out dance is worse. For yesterday working two different shifts I just flew out in the hospital, where I will fly in today. I guess this is a sneaky way to get me to do more shifts because that seems to be the affect right now.
