[Suggestion] Vehicle Despawn

    I'm sure something like this has been suggested before but whatever.

    How about if the timer didn't count down if you are within a particular distance of your vehicle? That way as long as you park it relatively nearby you don't have to babysit it if it isn't in any danger. Hopping in the drivers seat for a half second to keep your ride from despawning is a hassle when it only has a 5 minute timer.

    I agree with your suggestion, and I'm sure it got buried.

    I do not understand why they feel they need to despawn vehicles at all, but if they really feel the need, the timers need to be very high. I think the timer should only be running if the vehicle is inside the Warpgate where you can't blow it up to get it out of the way. There's currently no timer on turrets, and people leave those all over hell's half acre, so why the problem with vehicles?

    Last time I checked, my vehicle didn't despawn in my driveway before I went to work the next day.

    You should repost this in the Suggestions forum.
