I'll try to deal with my brother about 3DSM.
Dunno how he feels about it.
I'll see.
As for the Heli, the stop-random-encounters you've mentionned was the very fact I was thinking 'bout.
I mean, sometimes people want to rush out distances without beeing annoyed with random encounters.
In many times I was on a rush to a hospital or to finish an ending-time quest quickly before it fails. And many times I was stopped by a 5 or 6 guys ambush that killed my suffering man or lead me to a time gap which was deadly for me.
I know that we could set the random time encounter in the userconfig/Bluesunmod.ini but I thought of a middle solution : setting the random time encounter to a "normal" value AND having a solution in case of desperate need for saving/winnig time in-game directly.
Effectively, this idea is a solution to "cheat" the random encounters but maybe the heli could be modified in order to balanced well that "positive" aspect ? Dunno what, a very little trunk or a very low HP or both ones for example .
Something that makes the player think twice before using it.
After that, I'm not trying to put you in my way of thoughts
. But I was thinking it was nice to give you my point of view.
And if this hasn't convinced you, that's not grave.
That is nearly your whole work I'm discussing.
So I respect that you're the one who decides.
Thanks
Nat
