Truck Upgrades

[Blackfang321]

Just sort of brainstorming "out loud", but I'd love to see some Truck Upgrades in an upcoming patch. Some random ideas would be:

Additional monitors to watch multiple cameras at once.

Maybe more "shelving" so I can carry an additional item on the truck beyond what I normally would carry (such as an extra crucifix or camera).

A coffee dispenser. I just feel our investigators needs some coffee. They all look so tired and can barely job. Maybe extends sprint "meter" a bit?

A "favorite photo" spot, or maybe even a poster, so each player can save a "favorite photo" and it loads onto the truck as a sort of conversation piece.

I'd love to hear other people's ideas. I know it probably won't happen...the devs have enough on their plate. But it is fun to think about!

About the only possible thing they'd add is a multi-monitor feed for cameras, but then again... I've often only needed to set up one camera - and with the large amount of static cameras in the larger maps... I'd be more inclined to just get the option to cycle the list in either direction; this is something just a simple update can accommodate.

As for the rest - Sprinting is game balance, so coffee is out right away. Shelving has some gameplay balance implications too so probably not happening

Favorite photo though would be a nice addition, but I don't think you need to upgrade for it moreso than make an update to the truck.

Here's the big thing though that makes me think they are not touching the truck though - we LITERALLY just got an upgrade to the sound sensor board, and a functional upgrade to the camera system with the introduction of the tripod tiers. I doubt we need more right now.

And one last thing: we've got proof positive from things like spirit box, crucifix, and video cameras (and more)... that they are willing to give us DOWNGRADED items when it comes to having base level upgrades, so to suggest truck upgrades they might just decide to make this rendition of the truck the best one, and make us work our way back up to it.

TL:DR: two suggestions are not happening as they'd affect game balance, the photo suggestion can just be an update addition, and being able to cycle feeds backwards would be more useful than multiple camera feeds, and would likewise be just a simple update addition. The concept of truck upgrades can be taken both ways, and we could have to work back to where the truck is currently, much like we've had to for some gear items.

Being able to freely sprint outside of ghost hunts would be handy though. It would actually make larger maps viable to play on. As it is next to no one wants to because of how long it takes to carry things to the ghost room from the truck.

And being able to use the truck terminal to skip over the map cameras and toggle just between the player placed ones would be handy.

you're not the first person suggesting truck upgrades, but yes, we kinda need it
