Whilst ambitious, the inclusion of the wrap editor shows us that the folks at Stellar Entertainment are willing to push the boundaries, even if they more or less just imported the wrap system from Heat... Therefore, it's not entirely out of the question, surely?
Also, the SCPD have multiple liveries/colour schemes. Don't worry, I'm not saying people should be able to create obscene cop cars or begging for cameo police schemes (though that'd be awesome if you could have Rockport, Palmont, TCB, Federal from TR, Fairhaven, Redview County, Ventura Bay, Fortune Valley, Palm City/Eden Shores etc) I'm just suggesting that players could pick from a selection of pre-made wraps, much like their racer counterparts.
As I detailed, this would likely involve remapping some of the SCPD wraps onto other cars, but again Stellar have already demonstrated their ability to do this. To the best of my knowledge, this would include:
That's pretty much all of them from what I can remember... No need to re-map every single one necessarily, seeing as racers only have four pre-made wrap slots, but as you can see there's clearly ample choice regardless.
In simple terms, cops would get to choose from a selection of four pre-made police schemes as I've listed, just like racers can do. Not too unreasonable, right? Hope you can come round to my way of thinking, but if not, don't worry!
Hmm, I wouldn't be so sure... It's not about jurisdiction or anything, haha. The vast majority of these SCPD schemes are used across the entirety of Seacrest County, irrespective of location generally. For example, I recall one particular single player HP Super/Rapid Deployment event where a Sheriff Z06 and a white/blue HWP Panamera Turbo were both present! Never mind...
Yes, I'm aware it's all set in Seacrest County, but that didn't stop the original Criterion of 2010 from chucking in their bizarre Poliza Gallardo out of the blue either, did it?
The bottom line is, as already detailed, it really wouldn't be too difficult at all and could spice up online lobbies; if only just a little bit. I felt it could be an appropriate compromise between subtle vehicle customization without neglecting core HP genre values, even though I clearly don't understand those. Arguably though, the damage to those roots has already been done by the wrap editor update, if that's what you're concerned about.
Alright, I do understand your cause for concern, and if I'm honest maybe I can sympathise with that viewpoint. For instance, I definitely do NOT want to see stance or camber of any kind, even in the other games to some extent. I'm not that big on customization either, particularly "ricer" style, but I appreciate being able to add a few decals here and there, especially in non-HP genre games.
But what I'm saying is that the damage is already done, it's unlikely that they'll U-turn like that and remove it. What's equally important is that I don't think I can do anything about it, hence me trying to make the best of what we've got. All I can say is that I'm sorry they took this particular decision.
