This whole parking thing...

I haven't played LFS for nearly 2 years. When I did play, I was a CLC regular and I'd spend hours playing. I liked to park up with friends and enjoy the views that Fern Bay has. Also when I'd need to AFK for a bit, I could park somewhere off the road and not have to worry about anything except maybe a flying UF1 attacking me whilst I was gone.

Last week I started playing LFS again since I have the ability to play it again. So straight to the CLC server I went! :P But imagine my horror when I found out the only safe place to park is the police station! What happened, CLC? I understand you want people to drive instead of parking everywhere being AFK, but the whole !steal thing has ruined the fun of having multiple car parks on the map when only one is actually safe. If I want to park up and talk to friends, I have to go to the police station or keep moving my car every 5 minutes so I don't come up as a target for someone to steal from. The need to park up when your clutch is overheating can go without being said.

I also feel bad for Pass Me, who is always parked up in the police station watching over us and constantly has people bumping into him when they're trying to park, myself included. Sorry Pass Me!

Other than that, I love all the new features and I'm glad CLC is still around after so long! It's great to be back and cruising! :thumbup:

Pic related, good times.

You know, mister 1.4i driver ^^, even if there is the PD nowadays, there are still lots of time where ppl park on the road, even on the regular players, because of someone ringing the bell, someone calling, and there are still some !steal / attacking scenes :)

I'm totally down with this suggestion. Having a second car park -or more- could come in handy, especially on the longer tracks like Fern Bay.

well on longer tracks this is a problem as lack of objects plus it would defeat the object of the steal command

I totally disagree with those wanting more or bigger Police Stations/AFK-areas..

Think of parking outside the AFK-area as parking ur car without locking it :) I dont mind losing the 100-600€ that people can steal from me, its part of the game. The game being CLC with all its rules and players ofc. Also, to earn 1.000€ aint that hard now when we have tickets, courier AND the bonus hour..

Sure, i know im one of the biggest AFK'ers (Pass me being the biggest :wink: ) tho if there aint a parking spot available when i need to park, i just park outside and take the consequences :)
