Content Suggestion Create a New Civilian Class "Engineer"

[Author]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This would add a new Job to surface to allow civilians access to the Repair Torch since Civilians now have access to a new assortment of vehicles like Police cars and Ambulances.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
No.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Increases the optional for RP on surface
- Allows for more realism as civilians wouldn't go to a militia, Military base or a UN outpost for a simple car repair

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- I cant think of any.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
With the new Vehicle update that has hit the servers i seems right that now with a new assortment of vehicles that civilians are going to need repairs tools as even hitting a tree can damage your vehicle now and furthermore with the adding of CI/GOC and Foundation vehicles the weaponry fights on surface are going to reach a new high and civilians are going to loose vehicles left and right.

Civs should have the ability to repair cars themselves. A mechanic job would be a good way to do this.

I was actually going to suggest something similar to this but you beat me to it. Possibly not an engineer, but a mechanic role instead like somebody else has also stated.

Their own separate building in pinewood could also be nice where civilians drive their vehicle to the mechanic.

A job that has access to the repair torch and repair tool would be good on surface. Just something to make sure that broken doors, broken vehicles, etc. can actually be dealt with. Maybe a VIP job with 1/2 slots.

I think this is a really solid idea, and it could actually have a pretty positive impact on the surface. With the new LVS features, and allows for more map expansion concepts too like adding a proper garage or similar areas. There’s definitely potential here if it’s developed the right way.

Mechanic Roleplay could be awesome, or we could also make one that gives both the Vehicle Repair tool and the regular Repair Tool for doors and the such.
The amount of times an anomaly breaks to surface and civies have to call GOC just to repair their doors.

I do worry however this job will go unused, you almost never see gun dealers on for example unless there is someone needing guns.

Why would people use this mechanic over their own faction’s? If this is mainly for civilians I don’t think there is enough cases for use.
