Speedy Delivery Idea - Guitar Guy - 03-21-2023
As we all know the basic starter level jobs pay little and don't affect many parts of the server, but what if they did?
For example, instead of speedy delivery selecting a location, bringing a box to it, and typing a command to get rid of it, what if what they brought and where they brought it mattered. Lets say a speedy delivery driver selects a hotdog package and loads it into the truck. They could then drive to a highlighted hot dog stand and resupply the hot dog stand. They get some money for making the delivery and the hot dog stand now has more hot dogs in it. This would mean that hotdog stands and vendors that factions have can run out of items until they are restocked, (There could be a counter next to the item to signify how many are left) either from buying the shipment at the UPS NPCs and doing it yourself or getting speedy delivery to deliver a shipment for you.
Problems:
-No Speedy Delivery being on kills this (A fix could be allowing factions to restock the stuff themselves through UPS NPCs and having a slow rate of items regenerating to make it where every vendor is not out of stuff)
-Speedy Delivery not being able to spawn their vehicle kills this (Allowing them to still deliver packages without a car is a possible fix)
Possible Cool Things:
-Hot dog stands running out can force more people to actually go into a restaurant and get a meal compared to buying 3 hotdogs and getting full hunger
-Factions can bribe a Speedy Delivery driver to only make stops at their business. This opens another opportunity for an entry job into a faction besides the traditional ones
-The basis of resupplying business and hotdog stands adds a level of realism
In conclusion there are probably some problems I missed adding, the ones I put just came to mind. If implemented right this could be cool and add some more avenues for RP but I do think it would take some work to get the systems right and practical.

+1 this would be much more interesting for the newbie jobs! As of now, when I am asked by new players what to do, I never suggest the delivery service, it's always just "Go find a restaurant to work at". It would be nice for some diversity, and to have higher profits in the service so that it isn't pointless to do as a citizen.
