The space docker doesn't have any special things besides the noises.
I really want a N. Yankton car though
 
For the tailgater I just set my spawn point to last location and drive to the tennis courts at Vespucci beach. Then I just select "Find New Session" over and over until it spawns.

It definely helps if you have Simeon's list although it's not necessary. The tailgater can also be one of his high priority cars too.
 
Just curious.. Have the car/bike selling glitches been patched.. I have yet to try them out but I desperately want to get an apt.. My guy sleeps in his 2 car garage!

There is a new one since the update. But it will probably be patched this week. Check YouTube for various videos.
 
I somehow stole someones fully modded Z-Type, was in chrome obviously because bad sport people taste.

I was camping outside LSC looking for uninsured modified cars to steal, and the Z-Type came down the road and as he was about to go into LSC I killed him and stole the car. I drove it around for a bit before getting bored and started a mission in it. The car was with me, and while we were all driving to the destination I went past my garage and the door didn't open but I somehow glitched inside by ramming and it actually brought the car into my garage, and it insured it for me as it detected it as a premium car. I couldn't get the glitch to work after that but it made me a bit of cash when selling it using the LSC sell glitch. 231K I got.

I wonder if that guy still has his car, lmao.

You must enjoy BSL. :lol:
 
I truly enjoy survival mode. Especially to restock on ammo for free. Whenever I get low on ammo, I just complete 10 rounds of Survival. Guaranteed to fill all your ammo up for free.

Went from level 68 to 74 over the weekend. Played a wide variety of everything besides deathmatch. Lots of survival, co-op missions, and a fair amount of races. Even completed my very first 8 player co-op mission from Martin!! It is available once you hit level 65. Took 4 attempts with friends and randoms to beat but it was quite epic with 1 second left to spare. 1 second!!

Also found this pic.

I got bored of Survival mode, mainly because it takes so long and if you do it with randoms you have to get lucky you'll get someone who won't run around like Rambo and die in every round after 30 seconds. So I just do races and missions now, although races are getting harder because of all the grinders doing the same two races.
 
Armored trucks seem to be spawning like crazy in free roam. I've only seen it when I'm in a closed friends room, not sure if that makes a difference. I'm guessing this is how R* is handing out our $500k payoff.
The armored cars seem so random. Once minute they spawn like crazy, next minute they hardly ever spawn. They also have not been paying out very well at all. About a week or 2 ago I could get around $20,000 from an armored truck. Now I am lucky if I get $5,000. They also seem to be disappearing quite a bit too. Just as I start to approach one, its gone. Each update seems to get more and more buggy.
 
I can't remember it's name but that level 75 mission for Martin, how annoying are the spawning police helicopters? I was trying to do it with just me and one other guy, one of us took the Cargobob, the other the Buzzard to take out the chopper but it was pointless, as soon as you took three out another two spawned near the Cargobob. After a few minutes we got lucky and somehow lost them but it took three attempts. You can of course land the Cargobob somewhere and commit suicide to lose them but that takes your only life which comes in handy when you get to the location with the crate because guess what, more random spawning enemies whilst you're moving the crate out with the lifter.

Then we finish and I only get 10k for some reason, despite being level 82 at the time. Waste of time. I could have done a couple of races in a third of the time and got more money.

They started spawning for me a couple more times over the weekend and yea, it seems pretty random. It does seem like if the first one pays poorly, the whole batch will. Then again, it was only the very first time I saw this that they paid well, over the weekend they were all under $5k.

That's one of Lester's missions, Martin missions are much better value. Though those ones are not easy and certainly not worth repeating, but I'm surprised you didn't get the full payout.
 
Oh my mistake, I knew it was one of the two. But yeah, it takes so long to lose the cops in the air it certainly isn't worth $10k, not even $20k really considering it's length. You can spend a few minutes losing the cops, then flying to the location. Then you have to take out a few guys at the factory, someone has to get into the lifter, get the crate out, then finally fly it to his lockup. Far too long.

The level 81 mission from Martin was much quicker, similar to the one taking out the jurors/witnesses or whatever they were but both are made easy if someone gets the Buzzard from the hospital. That one I did get the 20k from as expected.

For the payouts in general though I've noticed sometimes the person completing the final part gets the most. I finally got in a group that managed to finish Dry Docking last night, I know for certain I've never finished it before. There was one guy in the boat at the end, the rest of us were in choppers. He got $10k, we all got $5k.

Yeah, the payouts are real weird, I know.

As for good Martin missions - Rooftop Rumble (rank 75) is an easy 25k (1st time) then an easy 12.5k the 2nd time, it beats Base Invaders on speed and ease, but it's just not as fun.

Yeah I've done RR once, pretty simple. Not sure why it's called that though when they're in an underground car park. I'm pretty sure I've done all missions at least once now, some are certainly more fun than others. I never seem to get any good missions given to me either automatically or via requesting them though, they're always the same boring old ones. Also it's weird when you join a random mission and it's high level people doing one of the very first level 3 missions. Baffling why, they're boring and worthless.

Yeah, I know - I wondered the same thing about the name.

I've been getting getting quite lucky with missions - I've had Base Invaders quite a few times lately.

I have seen a few level 100+ people doing Simeon missions, it really baffles me too.

I think that is happening when people select "quick mission" from the phone. I had it happen to me over the weekend. I selected the quick mission option to join randoms and ended up in some very low level missions. But I don't mind. Its still fun playing them IMO. So if you don't get a mission you like you would have to quit back to the free roam then rinse and repeat the process. I think people are just playing whatever they get. Better to play something, then have to repeat the process over and over again. At least we have a LOT of co-op missions to choose from. GTA4 only had 2 online co-op missions. So I am VERY greatful we have all the different co-op missions in GTA5. So far I have written down over 85 different co-op missions!!!! That's insane compared to only 2 in GTA4!

No, I mean the Host was over level 100. The person who started the mission that is, not just someone who joined.
