Hours left in /deliver dialog

[vodka]

I was delivering to crankey's sex shop today with no idea how many hours he had left for the lease so I thought of adding hours left (e.g 50/168 or just simply 118h left) below the business capacity line in /deliver dialog. This addition would prevent us from doing useless deliveries up to 1000/1000 for a business that has 1 hour left for the lease.

Simple yet effective!

The disadvantage would be that it'll be easy to hijack businesses from someone when the lease period ends. I can buy crankey's sex shop after his lease period ends before he does, even if he's online only to renew the business.

Adding this feature might be useful tho.
+1 from me!

That makes it better imo. Everyone should be able to lease business they want. Right now most of the best businesses are leased by the same person/gang all the time (/w msk)

The contents of /deliver dialog should be more detailed, I agree. Something else we had discussed a couple of weeks ago is to display how many goods a business has. If we are close to many businesses, we keep selecting all until we find an empty one to deliver at.

"Business Name"

This might be ideal then, I guess.

I agree with both Vodka's and Kostas' ideas. The delivery dialogs could show a lot more info.

Actually, you can see these hours on the website already. Check the page of any gang that has leased businesses. You'll see the "lease period", which shows how long the business has been leased so far.

I plan on adding this for players too at some point.

How else do you think I manage to maintain my businesses at 100% always? I do know that. However, you can't monitor a player's personal businesses from their player page.

I guess this is more than sufficient to monitor a business. Just my opinion tho.

 

[ellie]

I'm not sure other players can actually see that.

They can't and I think it's better that way. I think it's more than enough if it is implemented in-game.

Goods amount and hours left were added in /deliver dialog for the next update.
