The role uberdriver, while originally was a good idea has been sorely underused because there are just too many roles with the ability to get cars. Pretty much anyone but salesman can get a car and at that they can just ask someone else or even a mechanic for a car. The abundance of cars has made this role almost useless and it is so underplayed that it should be interchanged with another role.

My idea for a role to replace uberdriver is a role that similar to CEO is a mix of two other roles. Right now, the roles that don't get a special donator change are armorsmith, explosives expert, weaponsmith, mechanic, and fisherman. Out of these roles, weaponsmith is clearly the most popular and shouldn't recieve a special mixed role. Mechanic fits into this picture as well, and fisherman really wouldn't add with any other role but chef well, yet chef has a vipchef, vippluschef, mvpchef, and mvppluschef so it shouldn't get its own mixed role.
Merging armorsmith and explosives expert into one role could seem a little overpowered, so we could do something to balance it like making them buy things with an added 20% value added or something to make it fair.
I personally haven't been able to find a great name for this role, maybe Blacksmith or something?

This idea would not only add a new element to RP, it would fix the gap made by the uberdriver role and add a much needed revamp to the lack of usage of the armorsmith and explosives experts roles. Whilst they are used, it is not near as often as other roles such as weaponsmith, builder, or mechanic in the civilian field.

Basically, I think that uber driver is a role that completely serves no purpose at the moment, as the reasons behind that have already been stated by Outspace above, removal of it would be good though I stand with the idea of replacing armorsmith and explosive expert.

If anything we will just remove the role uberdriver

If anything we will just remove the role uberdriver

I think we shouldn't leave a gap tho, removing it completely doesn't add to RP just leaves it how it is since nobody uses it anyways. I think we should add a new role to fill that gap

id say we shoud replace it but not with that

I feel like replacing it would be a better option instead of going thanos on it

I'd say make almost every role unable to buy vehicles and make uber driver a non donator role. This would increase the demand for both uber driver and donator. The roles that'd still be able to buy vehicles:
Kidnappers; Boats
Bandits: Roadstes (not ghosts)
Cops: Cop cars, police launch, police motorcycle, police jeep
Swat: SWAT trucks / Police helis, police motorcycle, police jeep
Fisherman: Boats
Mechanic: Any vehicle
Uber driver: Taxi & Bus
It'd fit more in RP (as irl you can't just spawn in a truck in front of you lmao) and would make vehicles more valuable instead of something you'd buy for scrap
