Voting System

[LukeC1988]

So here is an idea that could prevent trolling or bugs. Maybe add a voting system 

- Vote for server refresh should allow the signals to restart to a correct state but keeping players at their current location or at last known checkpoint. Now just in case AI messes up somewhere this could be really helpful.

- Vote for player cooldown could be useful if we have a "troll". So if someone is screwing with players online, it will put the player in a cooldown mode. So AI will take over the train or despatcher screen for 5 min. If repeated offence, player will be cooled down for longer

- Vote to kick player just like the above but this time remove a toxic player

- Vote for train despawn will allow us to vote for a train to be despawned if the user is trolling or simply ai doing ai stuff

 

Other votes could be useful for restarting just the signals, stuck trains in case of a bug etc. I think this will make the game more playable online once it becomes available to buy.

I agree, I'm guessing you are the Luke I talked to while being in the Lazy LC dispatch.

the idea isnt bad but i can tell you from many MP games that vote players from the server nearly never works ^^

i have some other ideas :

- when a dispatch player try to set the signal back to red but the train comes closer and the distance to the signal is shorter then 500 m the dispatch player get auto kicked and the signal stay at the position it was before like green 🙂

- when the dispatch player find it funny to produce a traffic jam the AI dispatcher jump in after a few min and block the dispatch player from do something till the traffic jam is cleared by the AI

- when the dispatch player try to lead a other player to a sidding track and he cant reach his destination from there ( like you need to go from Lazy La to Lazy Lc but the track leads just to the depot ) the AI say ,,cant set that route no tracks lead back to the route of the train" so he need to send you atleast to a track were the AI can later or a other player lead you were you need to

just that the AI look the players a bit over the shoulder i think that stop many trollers
