Just adding to the idea of prison crafting - Make it so prisoners can create small drug crafting spots that can be hidden like stash spots.

If you can't unlock the car with a bobby pin, try holding the driver at gunpoint, make him hand over the keys, and off you trot to the chop shop! I know I'd be staking out the gas stations

The massive issue with making the server reliant on script jobs is the massive variance in players online at any one time. If there's a dive in the player base then the economy suffers as a result. These variance issues do not happen in real life. Also no one owns the courier job etc, so if not many people are doing that job due to poor wages, a business owner can't entice more people to do the courier job by raising the wages. The economy will just suffer instead. This sort of thing has been done on other servers, NGRP on SAMP did this and it created issues later down the track. ATM's do rely on the money transporter job - With out money transporters or people depositing money in ATM's they would be empty. I am all for some improvements to the bus driver job - I'd love to see players actually using the bus. Definitely agree there should be bus stops which tell you how far away the next bus is.

I think you should be able to run around as an animal for 15min on death - VOIP & text should be muted. Your animal roleplay for 15min is nothing to do with your character, it's just something to do for 15min. Also hunting wild animals up on Chiliad could be fun, or perhaps the cops having to put down injured animals on the side of the road lol

Fighter jets are whats used to intercept civilian aircraft - This would be the air force on request from air traffic control via the necessary chains of command but for the purpose of the server and it's population it makes sense to have it all in one faction.

Love all of this but 15min for death a bit rough. Maybe a fun 15min limbo game would be good in a different virtual world could be fun. Or...you respawn as an animal for 15min and people can hunt you for meat.

People breaking into cars with bobby pins is all far too common, and somewhat unrealistic when you consider that a person can steal a super car only using a bobby pin. In reality, most modern cars cannot be "hotwired" or stolen without the keys. My suggestion is to create upgradeable security options for vehicles that can be purchased from and installed by mechanics. Key lock (Stock standard) Stock standard security in all vehicles Car can be accessed & started with a bobby pin No alarm Car alarm (Upgrade 1) Car alarm will go off if anyone attempts to break into it Car can be accessed & started with a bobby pin Alarm and immobilizer (Upgrade 2) Car alarm will go off if anyone attempts to break into it Car can be accessed with a bobby pin but cannot be started without the key Car can be started with a laptop inside the car (RPly would bypass the security system) Alarm, GPS and Immobilizer (Upgrade 3) Car alarm will go off if anyone attempts to break into it Car can be accessed with a bobby pin but cannot be started without the key A person can track their car live on the GPS and see it's exact position (similar to /backup blips) Key less entry, GPS, Immobilizer and Alarm (Upgrade 4) Car alarm will go off if anyone attempts to break into it Car CANNOT be accessed with a bobby pin A person can track their car live on the GPS and see it's exact position (similar to /backup blips) Vehicle Keys: Vehicle keys will be an item on a person which can be dropped and given to someone else. Keys will not disappear from your inventory if you die however they can be stolen from you. If you need new keys you will need to go to a mechanic to purchase new keys for your car. If you want to copy your car key you will need to go to a mechanic to have your car key copied. With upgradeable security options players will have a harder time stealing peoples cars, however car jackings and robberies for cars may become more of a common trend particularly those who drive super cars.

Agreed massive plus one! Should also implement some sort of crafting system to manufacture drugs, alcohol and melee weapons

On the first 1 about being able to "help your friends" in a NCZ, a massive no from me. Rationale is this: We don't want those NCZ areas turning into battlegrounds i.e. shooting at cops and cops having to shoot back etc. The idea behind them is that it is a safe place away from that shit. You can run, you can be sneaky and get into a vehicle, no problem with that at all but "helping" your friends usually means shooting at the cops. On the 2nd one, I agree. Confiscating your bag and food isn't on, but that said there really is no storage for personal property and you shouldn't be able to take personal property into prison. Perhaps the script could be amended to have a property storage locker at the prison and PD so that property can be stored with a note attached.

I would actually prefer the car key to be an item you have in your inventory and make players visit a lock smith if they wish to copy their keys or change their locks.

What I had in mind (and I'll link it into the main part of the post) for fighter jet intercepts was something like this:

Yes there is an MDC but doesn't mean you'll be able to access it. These require a user login.

Edit - This faction could be a division of the new government faction Federal Aviation Administration The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of San Andreas is a national authority with powers to regulate, investigate and enforce all aspects of civil aviation. Major Functions Issuing, suspending, or revoking pilot licences All persons flying in San Andreas must be the holder of an FAA approved pilots licence or be under instruction of a pilot who holds an instructor rating on their pilots licence. A person can obtain a pilots licence by completing flight training (either through a private flying school or directly through the FAA) and then completing a pilots exam and practical flying test with an FAA examiner. If a person passes their pilots exam and practical flying test they will be issued with a pilots licence. Regulate, monitor and manage air space The FAA is the sole regulator of civil aviation within San Andreas and is responsible for managing, regulating and monitoring San Andreas air space. The FAA produces readily accessible publications for pilots including air space charts, weather information and temporary air space restrictions. Provide air traffic control services to San Andreas All air traffic control services (ATC) are provided by FAA air traffic controllers. Air traffic controllers undergo specialist training and provide ATC services within controlled air space. ATC services can also be provided to persons outside of controlled air space on pilot request. Respond to and investigate aviation incidents All aviation incidents are responded to and investigated by the FAA. This can range from minor breaches such as air space violations, through to air crash investigations, and up to air defense response. Air defense response is provided by the Surveillance and Response Group (SRG). SRG operatives are military trained pilots and have access to fighter jet aircraft On occasion SRG operatives will conduct aerial patrols in these aircraft to ensure the safety of San Andreas Air Space. Should an emergency situation arise where an aircraft is likely to endanger the lives of people SRG operatives will mobilize and intercept that aircraft. They will attempt by all means to negotiate a safe and peaceful outcome however they have the authority to if necessary disable that aircraft using deadly force. Prosecuting offenders The FAA is responsible for holding offenders to account for any breaches of aviation law. Penalties for offenders may range from formal warnings, fines, licence suspensions, and imprisonment. Divisions Licensing and Regulations Department Responsible for issuing, suspending, and revoking pilot licences Produce publications for pilots relating to civil aviation (including air space maps, restrictions, weather information) Prosecuting offenders violating aviation law Surveillance and Response Group (SRG) Monitor radars and identify unidentified flying objects Respond to air security incidents Air Traffic Control Services Provide Air Traffic Control services to all aircraft in San Andreas (( Out of character )) Lets bring aviation roleplay to Eclipse RP. With aviation must come regulation and enforcement, and that is precisely what the FAA will do. People must apply for and get a pilots licence from the FAA to be able to fly. If people are found flying unlicensed or breaching aviation law the FAA will issue charges. FAA will create all documents relating to aviation rules, air space etc. FAA SRG operatives will have access to fighter jets but strict conditions and roleplay standards will be imposed. Players flying air craft will need to set their radio to the ATC frequency and take instructions from air traffic controllers. Refusing to do so is a serious offence and will likely result in pilots licences being revoked, criminal charges and depending on the circumstances if serious enough may result in a figher jet being scrambled to intercept. Whilst this post does not go into elaborate detail if this idea is approved in concept I will develop this much further to be a full working model. (( Fighter Jets Intercepting Aircraft - How will it look? )) Fighter jet intercepts for aircraft won't be an excuse to shoot down aircraft. It will be a series of procedures and defined escalation process, with the ultimate escalation and last resort being to shoot the plane down. It will be similar to this video here:

-1 to all your suggestions sorry bud, my reasoning is this. Whitelist - What is the new whitelist system? I don't think it stops us from getting new players, we seem to be doing fine. A good white list prevents assholes coming to the server to troll hack and so forth. I've not come across any hackers and very rarely have I ever seen a player go around on a DM spree. Proof is in the pudding on this one, I vote the whitelist stays. The bit you mention about VOIP chat being limiting, it's really not. I've got an alt character that I act a different accent with. Yes it takes time to get the accent right, but it's fun learning to do it and playing someone else. You are only limited in your ability to act, if you can pick up an Irish accent then you should be fine to roleplay your Irish gangster. Some actors can't play every role, i.e. you couldn't have Samuel L Jackson playing as Harry Potter (although that could be hilarious). As for the no crime zones yes technically they restrict roleplay but they maintain a fair and realistic atmosphere. Realistic as in you don't have people "raiding" a police station or trashing the bank or robbing people after games of poker. This is a game after all and we want it to be fair fun and realistic. There is a balance between maintaining a fun realistic roleplay atmosphere and freedom to roleplay and I think Eclipse RP has it just right.

I would love to go out on a boat with a group of friends and go fish for BIG fish Fishing could become a social pass time that has the potential to bring in good money. Alternating fishing zones could have different types of fish, some small crappy ones, others massive highly valuable ones. People would be encouraged to go explore fishing areas in boats to find the best area to fish. Piracy could also be a good avenue for roleplay with pirates looking to rob people for their fish. Fishing limits could also be introduced with the cops going out on boats looking for people "overfishing"

I definitely think the teleport back to prison thing needs to be removed. DOC should be able to bring up a list of prisoners online and be expected to keep a check on each single prisoner. This gives prisoners an opportunity to roleplay escape. If a prisoner dies (NLR) then it makes sense they should respawn in the prison hospital.

+1 supported Perhaps retitle the suggestion to "Toggle Clothes"

Players can host a go kart match and set the following parameters: Wager Password (for private matches) Laps

As much as I like first person for certain situations the best thing about Grand Theft Auto is the customisation of your character and car. If things were in first person you don't get to enjoy looking at your character unless you walk past a mirror. Its a big no from me -1

In a nutshell flying should be kept respectable and not for "quick lets run to the airport and get in a plane to get away from the cops"

If we have planes then we need some licensing and enforcement to go with it. Police can't be expected to enforce rules relating to aviation. I might have a better idea: Federal Aviation Administration Faction: Responsible for: 1) Issuing / Suspending / Revoking pilot licences. Rather than a scripted pilots test people should have to apply for a pilots licence and do a pilots exam with a real person. This way it creates immersion and reinforces good roleplay with aviation. 2) Investigation and prosecution of persons breaching aviation law. This may involve ticketing, charging, arresting, suspending or revoking pilot licenses. 3) Responding to incidents of aircraft flying unlawfully with authority if deemed necessary to protect public safety to use lethal force to bring down an aircraft. (Yes this means fighter jets but obviously strict criteria would apply to ensure good roleplay). 4) Providing air traffic control services to all of San Andreas 5) Creating aviation regulations such as airspace categorisation, no fly zones etc.

Agreed - People don't just go ramboing prisons..even in shithole countries. Not realistic at all. Prison riots are very realistic. Prisoners finding crafty ways to escape is also realistic, but raiding prisons is not. I don't even think admin approval should allow prison raids because its just too unrealistic, should just be banned full stop.

My thoughts exactly. Gotta balance realism with ease to play. A big -1

+1 Good little feature. Only issue is that if a persons car is stolen and a person deliberately racks up fines to grief the owner. Not too sure how we could get around that. Would be cool if the server could actually take photos of speeders and have them accessible via the UCP. Also an idea - Make it so speed cameras can be destroyed. That would bring about some cool roleplay for cops catching people out for vandalism
