Trucker radio channel on discord

[Merr Khan]

I would like to see a trucker discord channel for any and all truckers driving the roads. I for one would love to use this RP tool that is at our disposal. 

Also i call dibs on the call sign "Rubber Ducky". 

[Hugh Mungus]

great idea!

[Ricky Ticky]

I feel Tow Truck drivers should have their own radio channel that when clocked in, should be on as to coordinate calls and even have police or ems join that channel if they do need to speak with tow operators. Also, i kind of feel tow truck drivers should/could have their own faction similar to police/ems and maybe even have their own set of sop's or what not. however i dont want it to be a whitelisted job, unless it is getting abused by people too much. i mean i know it's new so lets see what happens. if you need someone to take lead of that faction if it ever becomes one, id be more than happy to fill that role.

This could be useful for taxi drivers as well, always feel a bit guilty when about 5 taxis arrive and they are all new players trying to make a buck.

Yes please, Tow truck and a Taxi channel aswel.

Having a designated channel would be cool, having a faction, i dont really see it going anywhere. The SOP's would be extremely short, and would just be common sense in my opinion.  They do one specific job, and its kinda hard to mess that up. I doubt they'll be able to do anything terrible that would disrupt the server, but if they do, it will most likely lead to a ban.

The channels would be cool, the only issue i see with it is people not wanting to join while doing this jobs because they're in a discord with their friends already.

I was thinking about suggesting adding trucker radio communications for server one and two in discord.

[George Cahill]

Okay, why would truckers need radio communication? Also make friends with them then you are more than free to make your own discord server evolving around Badlands for those truckers.

[LoganStreet]

I just figured it would bring a bit more RP. But I understand now.

[DanielBos]

This has already been requested, please look at old topics before making a new one. 

 

 is just some of the previous ones. I hope this helps

I agree with: Truck Radio S1 , Truck Radio S2, Taxi Radio S1, Taxi Radio S2,  Road service (mechanics and tow) S1, Road service (mechanics and tow) S2.  S from server or C from city. Mainly so people can tell and understand why there are two.

The reason I see for them is because even the jobs aren't white listed, doesn't mean  that they need to be done as freelance. Truck drivers even if they work for different companies use radio to give heads up about road conditions and more. Taxi can use it to coordinate and the same goes for Road service.   None needs to be obligated to join the channel but sure would help out and encourage more RP and interactions.

Tip for when using a radio channel of the suggested kind: unless it's just 2 in the channel or so, keep the banter low, since the other people in the channel might be in a area with people around. But in a situation that it's just 3 truckers and both are 'solo' on the road, sure using the radio for chit-chat ICly, it's a great way to RP and build up the characters further and make connections.

I don't agree with this. Lately there are way too many earpieces in town and RP is going away from the city voice into talks into the ear pieces, even with people around that are not in it. Makes no sense to have so many people around 'talking in their heads' as it's happening.  Many of us sure belong to many discords but my advice is try to use them less and focus more on interacting trough the city and official channels.

Hi so I was wondering can tow Truck Drivers have there own Channel in discord for On duty or no? To communicate at all if theres more then one of us in the city or so. Or is it first come first serve.

I believe you can use the Public 1 and 2 for being able to communicate with other tow truck drivers. Not sure if the higher ups have other plans for it at this stage.

Please search for existing topics before making a new one 

 

[ImVexal]

As Daniels said search prior to posting. Answering your question... This idea was thrown out of the window a while back when merr asked. You can improvise and create your own discord server though and use it like that or donate and use the donor channels.

Okay um I didnt know he made one a long time ago before I thought of it and was on the city/Badlandsrp server so sorry. Just was a thought but I got attacked hard by many seems like. It was only a thought sorry sorry again.

[Matt Kenshaw (33963)]

I would love this idea.  I was on the server for several hours last night as a tow truck driver.  When you have 2-3 tows around, and the calls come in, it is very hard to coordinate in-game with who has what call.   Aside from texting the other drivers, which is what I was doing, I would love to see some sort of "dispatch" type system setup for tows.  That way you know what tow is heading to what call, it could be a lot less confusing that way.

like many people suggested, you can just hop into one of the public voice channels, maybe update your discord nickname with a "TOW" tag and there you go. Or you can create a Tow Club on the forum, maybe even make a dedicated discord server for it and share the invite with the club

[Matt Kenshaw (33963)]

Yeah, not a bad idea Anton.  I will look into that and see if we can get the tows together on the Discord!  I like the idea of adding the tag as well.

[Serpico]

You can use the public or member channels. No need for more voice channels.
