[Suggestion(s)] Crime, Checkpoint, Big Boss and More!

Dear Planet Coaster Devs,

Another couple suggestions that I thought would be good for planet coaster and seperate it out from themepark and rct titles.


:CRIME:
We all know Crime happens.. I don't think just because a game is about themeparks, coasters, or transportation should be any exception. Nonetheless.. ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) or as I like to call it "videogames cause violence board" Obviously has standards that I think are extremely strict to maintain a E for Everyone rating a couple of those being we can't have anyone shot in the park, stabbed, d, or downright die.. (even though this happens in real parks). there are other ways we can implement crime without losing the "E" rating while maintain a realistic appearance of sorts. Like, People pick-pocketing, employee's stealing merchandise/food/e.t.c. , vandalisiim (marking buildings e.t.c.). these are just a few.. I am sure there are more out there that wouldn't hurt the E Rating while giving more of a feel for the Security to do it's job. I also think a "cute" feature that is realistic is people losing there kids. and, maybe having the security guard escort the child back to the parents. I can't tell you how many times I got lost in a themepark because I wasn't watching my parents and visa versa..

:CHECKPOINT:
EVERY park I ever been too has had a Checkpoint at the entrance. Where they check for Food, Weapons, e.t.c. now in-line with the E for Everyone part above.. lets remove Weapons from the board. I think we should have the ability to Allow or Disallow outside food. and, with each come it's Pro / Con.

--:Allow Food:
People are allowed to bring in there food. with this comes guests having the ability to have picnics inside the park.
--Pro
Food at checkpoints are ignored and let through.
People are Happy and you see people bring in Picnic baskets or (fake) fastfood chains. Like PotatoMash(my take on popeyes)
McDulls (obvious) ChickenFlyer (obvious) or, w.e the developers choose to make the names. People will sit at Picnic tables
inside the park.

--Con
More Trash around Picnic Tables / or general more trash in park
Less likely to spend money for food / drink inside parks.




--:Disallow Food:
Guests still try to sneak in food but get caught and there food gets confiscated.
--Pro
Food gets taken. So, Guests more likely to get Hungry and Purchase Food
Less Garbage and Litter

--Con
Peeps initially unhappy (the ones that brought food and had it confiscated)
Depending on the price of the food still may not purchase food.. unless you have a rich peep



______

Big Boss is YOU. Have a peep unlike in any of the thrillpark, Rollercoaster tycoon, themepark games where it's You. it has your name (obviously entered when you start the game) and let him be trainable i.e: speaking ability, technical ability or influence level, money deals, exclusive marketing(tv, radio, internet, e.t.c.). therefore, when you have a celebrity come into the park your boss peep can raise the parks score with said celebrity by talking to them and showing them around the park with a VIP tour. You can also ride rides through your boss peep and walk around your park from peep level. You can also scold or influence employees with special skills to help a ride, attraction, staff member work better.


______

Weather

Obvious but weather should impact rides being opened or closed and peeps being out.. some should scramble for cover under overhangs, buildings, e.t.c... especially with lightning like pools automatically closing e.t.c. or, if you have it manually have them receive a fine for endangerment if they choose to keep a ride or pool open when its raining or lightning..



_____

Inside of Buildings
One thing i never seen in any of the coaster games is buildings with a inside.. not talking about ones imported by a third party or modder. But, actual legitimate buildings that you can place things inside.. I think it would be awesome to create indoor coaster or a indoor food court that isn't affected by weather like above.. Obviously it would need to be balanced like it costing more or higher maintenance costs e.t.c.


_____

Research tree
No odd research like in any of the previous rollercoaster games.. allow some "research" to be hidden but allow us to unlock some things in a skill tree.. or maybe even perks. i.e: Coasters performing 20% better with level 3 of CoasterPerk or Coasters have 5% chance less of breaking down with the Maintenance perk e.t.c.

Interesting idea. I have no opinion on this issue , but I think this may interest people.

This could really improve the search system from previous games.

I like the idea. +1 [up]

What do you all think?
Two things :

1) Several suggestions in one topic = mess (and it's too long, and boring, for the next time you know [up])
2) Use the search form by keywords before posting. That would be nice [happy]

They're great suggestions AusKee, but threads already exist with some of your ideas. To make sure that the developers see how much we all want them, it's probably best if we all have a single thread for each idea, rather than multiple threads for the same idea.
 
A lot of nice ideas. I think some of them would make for some really cool expansion packs, especially the crime & weather ones.
