So on flood I noticed that the free props (which sometimes are needed) have went missing? There is only 2 free props when there should be more than 5. Plus the 2 arent really usefull. PLEASE OH LORD I AM POOR AND NEED THEM BACK.
Old players could abuse free props to make infinite money because just by getting to surface with free props you're just making free money no matter what happens, all the damage you did was just a bonus and it screwed people over who put time and money into their boats. Think about this: you get a free boat and can use all explosives on the most expensive boat to make so much money you don't know what to do with it. It's nice for new players but there's a rework coming with the welfare system to make to not so broken and it won't be as overpowered as it was before. tl;dr veterans used old props to do damage and make money, no punish for it like if you did 2 snowman heads and 1 beer case, economy gets fucked harder.
It isn't guaranteed that the welfare system going to be added back any time soon, but it'd be pretty nice if it does. The welfare system was perfect but needed a bit of changes here and there. Just like what the others have said, free props just breaks the economy even more which is something we (I) don't want. If you're struggling, A) look for a team B) create some cheap boat and mow everybody down to gain some cash C) you beg people for money. I'll consider adding a free prop or two back in the mean time until the system gets implemented back.
Can I just say something really quickly? If there's no welfare or free props, what happens if a player runs out of money? They have to leave the server? We should probably have some form of way to climb out when you're sitting at 0 income so players don't have to piggyback off someone to get a start again.
