i knew there would be one! How about they put a tick box where you can mark the warrant as inactive, introducing a responsibility for SIB to monitor them, or only show warrants from the past week! Sorted!

Having been the victim of a raid or two I see a few issues with the current system, obviously I don't advocate for their removal as they have a time and a place when the justification is right. So once a warehouse location becomes known IC, that location is essentially completely burnt. We have had many instances of being followed from a "suspected gun shipment" where we lose the cops, but they stalk out these locations gathering "intel" instead. Once this location is burnt, raided or known as a gang affiliated asset, any time we lose the cops subsequently, they are camped. So the next option is to have something in someone else's name, invalidating the whole turf/warehouse system, which I guess is fine, can be raided all the same but you are just invalidating the whole turf/warehouse system which seems like an issue to me, there is also no nice IC way to handle this sort of thing and people realistically leave the server all the time. This is also limited by the fact that properties are sparse and commonly brought up by those richest on the server. Buying a warehouse and making it a faction property is hard, considering a lot of these assets are brought up, probably owned and unused, leaving not many rp sound or logical places for us to own a warehouse. Having previously asked the cartel players for assistance in obtaining different warehouses and being told a flat NO, leaves obtaining other warehouses tricky. Otherwise this seems like it would be the most reasonable way to get around it if we could sell or trade the turf controlled warehouses and there were more options for these locations. Alongside the warehouse issues my criminal experience had also recently involved the following (in my opinion): Reports denied from on scene + involved admins dismissing reports immediately with the explanation of "its IC" Subjected to witch hunts because the cops/admins don't find what they expect to Ruleplayed (rammed by cops off of bikes or hit to be prevented getting onto a bike / blocked off in the city whilst I'm doing 160 to stall me then held at gunpoint to abuse they can subject me to fear rp or circled for 20mins until they can find a reason to disturb /search us) Mocked ic and ooc for submitting IA reports even though they get upheld 75% of the time Noticed shadow changes to drug tables to make them blow up more often when unwatered Had our life invader page taken down (presumably by an admin?) when it shouldn't have been Our attempts at legal endeavours wont be supported by people in legal factions due to affiliation, even if this affiliation is not direct Me and other members of the faction have been pmed about great crim rp and constantly trying to think outside the box of "shoot them" as a faction but being focused icly + pressured to the point I don't want to login due to how oppressive the legal factions can be with all of their benefits, then add on top some of the script limitations of the server playing a contributing factor, there seems little way back from the precipice of being a known criminal, operating from known illegal locations, as part of a known criminal organisation, which is now an issue when we will be pressured constantly (even though rply there should be more cars on the road and other stuff to do) some of these attacks have certainly seemed personal and focused and in some cases are still being discussed between CFM and LFM. Whenever I am pulled over I will always and forever be treated with criminal prejudice only forcing further escalation to the point where me and others will just lose all of our assets and leave the server. Don't get me wrong I understand that this comes with the territory but at some point this prejudice needs to reset or as the OP here suggest changes need to be made so we can at least hold out for a reasonable amount of time by being given a few more options. My RP with cops now consists of "cant talk to you sorry this might hurt my career" which when there are 200 people around makes it an oppressive experience being on the server which I have no way back from, even when I will have compliments on the rp from those involved in the unique or light-hearted displays we try to put on as a faction (though don't get me wrong I personally have also been unpleasant my fair share too). This is where I agree with the OP that the criminal experience is lacking and a overall negative experience, certainly with many members of the faction I am a part of getting to breaking point. We are very much in a damned if we do (shoot cops, provide this type of rp, investigations raids etc) and damned if we don't position (do nothing but the bare minimum to survive as a criminal faction, which currently consists of being treated like we are shooting at cops anyway and being icly toxic, which is driving players away because that is not what we are doing) which is exacerbated because of the script / server economy limitations. So only option is to use a rented car (from a player because the scrapyard vehicles flag up fishy) , go to a rented property in different clothes when doing anything, which realistically someone from a cop faction can just sit and watch me do 24/7 at some point anyway, from 400meters away with a sniper scope. This is how it has been for many years and every avenue available to a criminal is well known and hashed out by the legal factions. This to me is the worst part of it all because it is very hard to innovate when nothing new has been added. TLDR A good change for me would be "scrapyard" type apartments where you can rent them for a week/month for 50k or something, you turn up at tinsel or any of the apartment complexes and rent a room in cash for stashing, then this is not affected by how difficult it is to get a house on the server and you have an (albeit expensive) option to hide something not in your name. This is then not at least tied to you and wouldn't be a part of a raid where all your registered properties are attacked. Perhaps make the space limited so you cant wedge 50 guns in there, but at least distribute some assets. Fix scrapyard cars to 1) not be the worst cars on the server and 2) not flag as "unregistered" or whatever they currently do, immediately arousing suspicion. Add some more criminal only warehouses but limit the amount of warehouses a faction can have, they would still be subject to the same rules ie make rp sence to own etc, but allow some freedom for gangs to make more sensible choices, which seems to be every cop main opinion in this thread. Some element of these locations being treated like labs, areas of "high criminal activity" but once raided the IC knowledge of affiliation becomes void, given the limited options we have as criminals. Maybe a combination so if a warehouse is unused by a faction for 3 months it loses its "known affiliation" As someone part of a faction that does its best to teach , supply and nurture new criminals whilst providing unique and funny RP opportunities for everyone else, it is saddening to see the opinion that there are no issues with the current system(s) and I hope that outlining some of my experience can bring some light to those that don't spend the same time and effort as I and others in my faction do to create roleplay even when its becoming increasingly hard to do so.

Having spent some time within the legal factions, I believe it would be sensible to change it so the "warrant" section of the MDC so that it does not display only online players. Both police factions have paperwork sections for warrant reports, it seems easy to accidentally meta / trace those with active warrants considering you know they are online, combined with the fact that when tracing a mobile phone you get feedback as to whether or not the person is online aswell. I have personally seen someone who has not been around for months, login and have their home stalked within an hour of their return whilst their phone was off the whole time, changing the above should add some difficulty and depth to those investigating wanted fugitives.

It is my understanding that the message when someone's phone is attempted to be traced, the message is different based if they are offline as opposed to having their phone off. In the same way /vpm used to be abusable to find out someone's name, or if they are online, can the messages for tracing a phone be made the same so that is it not abusable. This would follow the change that people used to be able to call to see if you were online or not, which was amended to ring no matter what.

Is it possible to adjust the lost slamvan? I purchased and was surprised that you cannot store body inside like you can the normal slamvan / it only holds 150 storage. It also seems to be a completely different performance profile to the ordinary slamvan but I believe that cant be adjusted. thanks

Hello and thank you for your kind consideration of my suggestion, my logic was that the items sit around using up resources when a relatively simple solution could be added to induce cleanup for both 1) just something else to do and 2) reduce some wasted items that just sit around. It could obviously be expanded to litter outside of DOC perhaps, coffee cups etc ..

i see empty soda cans everywhere, maybe make a place where they can be deposited for money, maybe down by garbage ?

as per the above. Add switchblades to be used to gutting / opening cash packs etc

it isnt, because people are receiving errors from rageMP (after you crash) to downgrade drivers to may30th for a more stable experience, plus there are posts about it on the RAGEMP support forum. I have downgraded but can c0 like 9 times in a row every 14 minutes (current record) then be fine for 4 hours. Seems were pending a fix from NVidia or rage.

same, its pretty sporadic. Ill crash 5 times over, reboot my pc and it will sometimes stop but maybe thats placebo. Seems to be wide spread but no fix. Plenty of people have reported this.

the safes in the houses are so ass. any change to them would be a W. Screw it just make it a 200 check minigame or as slow as a toolbox, the current system sucks.

+1

Please sort phone messages logically ie put the newest received at the top if possible within the script i presume its not as it seems such an obvious thing but still. Also timestamps on messages maybe?

damn that sucks to hear, i do think its so close to being decent. So its basically just based on how they rank them ?

As the title says, i feel like the price and performance of this car shows it is obviously way out of balance. Personally having brought and driven one, i think it would be an excellent car if the top speed was increased slightly. The car is approximately 505k new, with 60-70k of upgrades, and tops out at about 185. 190 over bumps. Forcing the resale value to plummet to circa 400k. I think with a slight adjustment this car would feel a huge amount better to drive and come closer in line with the other vehicles that typically lose just the modification value upon purchase. Not sure the information required to backup such a request, but i feel like the disparity between performance and price is worth a look at. thanks

+1 i dont like the idea of having to split your characters out to facilitate the two lives, obviously with serious consequences if you do get caught doing anything and a long time with no felonies before you can bring it before a judge.

+1 or have them be removed if you get your license suspended another way ie a crime.

I brought a larger internal safe ($20000!) expecting it to have greater capacity than the usual 'safe door' which is $1000 but was surprised they have the same capacity. Could this be increased slightly to reflect the obvious increase in size (and space taken inside of an apartment) and its cost thanks

+1, i dont see the reason to have such a barrier to entry of a vent which costs more than a shipment of tables.
