Server Suggestion Allow RC truck colour to be customised

[SamSN]

Suggestion Title: Allow RC truck colour to be customised
Suggestion Description: At the moment the RC truck is always white which is quite boring, it would be nice to see some variation on this

I could see this working three different ways:

• When spawning the roadcrew truck you are given a colour selector similar to unmarked police cars, this could be for technician+ with apprentices having only the white truck
• Each rank has it's own preset colour, this would also make an RC worker's rank more identifiable for other players wanting tyre patches etc, of course this is less fun for the RC worker.
• Maybe somewhere inbetween?; Apprentice has white, Technician has red similar to the old truck and Management officer can select his own colour

Why should this be added?:

• Add variety from the standard white RC truck
• Potentially makes different ranks of RC worker more identifiable

What negatives could this have?:

• Roadcrew workers driving around in bright pink or green RC trucks

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Not necessarily a problem but just a QoL feature that might make roadcrew slightly more enjoyable.

Although having sparkly pink road crew trucks would be visually stunning, it might make the server look a bit less serious. I do really like the idea of unlocking set colours as you rank up though, similar to the way you can change the colour of Firefighter trucks. This would also allow people to recognise Roadcrew ranks better as right now the only way to recognise their rank is if they have a black hat.

This was posted on the update log of when the new truck was added, no idea why the skin didn't get fixed/implemented but it seems like the best answer to make the truck less bland.

That's a fair point, I ammended my original suggestion slightly to recommend having the option available only to management officers so that the potential for mingery is kept to a minimum.

Having this livery added would definitely be very cool, although it could work alongside this suggestion as the colour is still able to be changed - Of course it would clash pretty badly with near-black colours.

It would still be nice to see some sort of color variation even with the livery, even if just the three different rank-dependant options I mentioned in the original suggestion.
