was thinking this week on how a rental system could work, and here is my idea:
all rentals to be done through the auction system so that MA will make income from the system.
there will be a section of the auction that has items for rent, the owner of the item will place the item, duration and rental fee in the entry form when they place the item, and placing the item costs 50 ped.
when someone rents the item, the peds will be transferred to the owner of the item, with a small fee paid to MA, and the clock starts on the rental time.
only items at full TT will be allowed to be put in the auction to be rented.
every 4 hours, the rented item will be returned to full tt by a deduction from the renter's ped card, if they dont have the peds on their card, the item will stop working until its repaired to full tt, and if its not repaired after 24 hours, the item is automatically transferred back to the owner's inventory to be rented again or used by the owner.
the owner always retains full ownership of the item, it is listed as "rented out" in the owners inventory, and "rented" in the renters inventory.
at the end of the rental period, the item will be automatically returned to full TT and transferred back to the owners inventory.
the rented items cannot be traded or TT'd at any time by the renter.
i dont know much about programming, but i dont think something like this would take too much effort by mindark, and would give the owners a way to make peds on their items, and the rest of us to have a chance to use the high end items for a nominal fee, with no chance of the item ever being stolen from the owner.
do you think this kind of system would work?
