I've never really understood the reason as to why car speakers are items, It would just make more sense to press a keybind and have a little custom UI pop up, and have every car come pre installed with a "car speaker" and remove the current car speaker item. Its expensive, its heavy and makes no sense to have it in your glovebox.

This is a rule suggestion

Hello Mr Martin Okay, so i do agree with everything you said at face value. However if we break down your reasoning can you not see why this is a problem? "With my experience in PD I can tell you that not every snitch is for money, there is so much more than money when being a CI. I don't see how being a CI shows play to win mentality. If you want to limit the chances of being snitched on there are countless ways to do this ICly" Lets take this part of what you said, "not every snitch is for money" although this may be true this is almost always the case and there is no moderation on an OOC level to stop crims from doing this. They could make up any random reason to start selling freqs, giving away stash locations, giving away cook spots ect ect. The list could go on forever, and I know for a fact the C.I's don't get any other RP besides a transaction with the detective they are snitching too. My main point is that these people are simply doing it for money 90% of the time and never really have true motive for doing so. Why is this allowed??? Its simply unbalanced and unfair to us crims that work hard and have to grind for our money. PD and SD move pay cheque to pay cheque and even if there are a few corrupt cops, 9 times out of 10 you dont even know it. There are many more negatives to crims having snitches than there are for cops, we truly feel the repercussions day in, day out. Im not saying snitch RP should removed, I just think some moderation needs to be put in place in order to maintain the balance and integrity of the server. Correct me if I'm wrong samuel but you do not play crim, however put yourself in the shoes of someone like me who is just trying to have fun and interact with people on the server, I'm not on a salary, nor am i on any kind of wage that keeps my character floating. Then I decide I want to go and make money, Im a criminal so of course there should be risks and there are many. Thats because its balanced and makes sense. I do a house robbery, i may get caught, I go and cook drugs, I run the risk of being robbed or killed, I hit banks and stores, I run the risk of being arrested. All these things have something in common and that is the fact that I have entered this RP and am ready for the potential outcome. However, when my gang freq is comped, there is a non negligible chance that we will be beat. Why? because we have some guy, sometimes more than one, who is actively giving away our gangs freqs. I would like to reiterate that I would not be upset by this If the person in question had valid motive and reasoning however this is never the case, therefore people join gangs, snitch, make money and go on about their day. To touch on what you said here "As a gang you should aim to have trusted members and not just anyone who can hold a gun at a lab. There are multiple gangs where there will be no snitches and there are other gangs where people even up to high command will snitch to you. How a gang operates and treats its own people affects this a lot" Of course we aim to have trusted members, just like LEO's aim to have trusted employees. The difference is, is that we are forced to siphon through the barrel of shit in order to find a diamond. Whereas if you find a shit, you simply ban them from the server or punish them because they are breaching OOC corruption. The way criminal RP is setup on this server forces us to max out our faction, we need numbers to survive because of how the turf system works. We have two options 1. We act like Milestone rouges and are cool with every gang on the server, or 2. We have large groups of people and hold down locations in order for us to suply our guys. This makes it dfficult to filter out the bad from the good. However if there were OOC corruption rules in place for C.Is the process of finding a snitch would amazing and actually provide good RP. As an example of how flawed the current system is, theoretically you could have a new flight in your gang, just like PD can, and they can snitch on everything you do with ZERO repercussions. If we kill them, they are NLR'd and they move onto another gang, if we dont kill them, they are labeled a snitch for all of two weeks and they back in another gang. You see the problem here??? There isnt enough integrity amongst crims to uphold that level of RP and stick their word and to stop recruiting snitches. I know of at least 10 snitches that are still in gangs to this even though it is well known they have snitched in the past. Overall, the concept of C.I's is incredible, in actual fact the system is unbalanced and flawed.

I have a topic I have been discussing with a few people on the server, Legals and Crims so I wanted to bring this forward and pose a new idea to this current system. So recently as a criminal on this server I have seen an influx of C.I's (Confidential Informants) or just criminals who have been obtaining gang freqs and giving them to PD and SD in return for money. The people who decide to become crims gain zero RP out of this at all, they simply gain money and that's it, this is clearly a problem and breeds a play to win mentality, I feel as though this sytem is massively flawed and needs a rework to help balance out the clear issues. I think crim factions should have similar OOC corruption rules to legal factions, the same way that having 12 Corrupt cops in PD or SD affects thier RP, having 12 C.I's affects ours too. Its getting to the point where no matter what we do we get beat, labs get shut down, we go to prison for 3 hours and this cycle is repeated day in, day out. I know a lot of people will say its down to our recruitment but I disagree. If you are in SD or PD put yourselves in our shoes. Imagine everytime you log onto the game there is a chance that your entire freq is beat all day and all the potential ways to make money are basically shut down. It limits our RP and is very unbalanced. I really do think the rule needs to be changed and you should have to have valid reasoning and motive to become a C.I besides just gaining money and having protection from raids. All of this is a clear play to win mentality which is something that is so deeply frowned upon within this server.

Tommy Bean Tommy Bean grew up in the harsh streets of London, England, It was rough and rugged with very little opportunity. His father, a proud black man, was tied up into in the life of a street gang, selling drugs and running with dangerous people. Tommy's dad was a larger than life figure to him Tommy looked up to him and wanted to follow his every move, despite his lifestyle Tommy’s father was a man of morals and stood for the right things, he always had his family's best interests at heart he was full of charisma and almost had a sense of invincibility. This was never going to last with the life that he so regretfully chose to lead. One day Tommy’s father woke and went on his daily routine, woke up, went to the shops to get the daily needs of a small family of three, then of course went to make his money. He had a small drug deal just down the road from the house where he was fatally shot. Tommy’s dad was set up, robbed and unfortunately killed that day. Tommy's mother fought a long, painful battle with cancer, Tommy had already slipped into the same lifestyle his father had led. He was young, angry, and without direction. He had inherited his father’s street smarts, but lacked the guidance that might’ve kept him from making the same mistakes. He knew what he was doing was wrong, he knew it would only lead to him ending up where he began, however with the mental struggles Tommy had developed which coincided with his mother having terminal cancer made it almost impossible for him to get away. A year after his fathers passing, Tommy’s mother lost her battle to cancer, at the age of 37, leaving him with very little escape. Tommy, now 19 years of age has nowhere to live and very little people to fall back on. Tommy always felt like he was living in the shadow of his father, walking the same dark and treacherous road he had once walked for all those years, he couldn’t outrun it. Tommy however was gifted, he was too smart to fall victim to the same fate, but too caught up to escape it. After many years of bouncing from sofa to sofa, hostel to hostel, room to room he finally had made enough money to make a change, Tommy did well in school and was most certainly capable of becoming something more, just not in the streets of London. Tommy packed up the little belongings he had and began searching for the cheapest flight out of the country, to the land of opportunity, America. Specifically Los Santos. He had big plans, massive aspirations and of course a dream.

Though sometimes true, its not the case most of the time. For example, theres a house for sale on Diddion drive rn. From the outside its a huge mansion, yet inside its the shitty house that i believe wade has from story mode.

Hello, Mr Bean here coming at you with a new game suggestion. This is very short and very simple; however, it would make a huge difference to people like myself who like to design/decorate their properties. The current pool of property interiors is, for lack of a better word, awful. I would like to see either a blank canvas similar to how business properties work, allowing us the creative freedom to build and design our very own house or just some nicer/custom MLO's, ICly i would love to buy a new house however it just does not feel right spending 2.5m+ on a beautiful mansion, just for it to have a crack den interior. I'm sure there is a way to get some nice custom MLO's and add them into the existing properties. Right now, I've been searching around Vinewood looking for houses, I'll see a house that suits my preference almost to a T, however it has this disgusting interior from the GTA story mode. This is by no means me trashing the server or discrediting what it is you guys do. I just feel as though this change would benefit everyone. Thanks

I do agree, this would actually be the only downside in my opinion. However i think the idea of making the process of cooking longer and make it so you have to maintain your cook would be an easy fix. However if you are a faction and you cook in your own territory you would have benifits of faster cook times. Risk vs Reward.

I will use my previous point to respond, what about the countless music bots for discord that primarily use Spotify? In actual fact it is YouTube that attempt to stop it.

I understand your point, however I don’t really see an issue here. Discord bots are my example, you grab the link directly from Spotify and begin playing any song ad free. In fact, it was YouTube that had an attempt to stop this, not Spotify. I do not see this being an issue.

Soo, I'm going to keep this very short as there isnt much to say. I would love to be able to use spotify links to use the in-game speakers/car speakers, just because i very rarely have chrome open and also some people (like me) play on bad PCs and sometimes it causes issues having to use youtube for links lol. Let me know what you think.

I agree, have a co pilot who has to control the spotlight manually. Leaning towards more of a skill full approach, rather than having a lock on with no effort at all.

Hello, I’ve had this idea for a while now so hear me out. I’m not sure if there is already a suggestion for this so if there is. Please Archive and direct me to it so I can have my 2 cents. I believe you should be able to view and access your bag while it is on your back, so you would equip it like any item of clothing. You hit “I” and you have an extra little UI for “bag storage” My reasons for this as follows: So A. IRL if you had a duffle bag, you’d be able to quickly and promptly put it to your side and access it with very little effort. And B. This will help with the very common issue of “Ninja looting”, due to the very clunky nature of of dropping accessing and then picking back up the bag. You may find yourself in very sticky situations where you may miss the E prompt or accidentally hit “carry” instead of “pickup” and all of a sudden your bag with whatever was inside has been stolen. I would like to reiterate that my main point is the fact it’s unreasonable and also unrealistic to have to drop a duffle bag to access it. Let me know what you think. One more thing I would like to touch on, is adding different styles of bags, not just for the looks but potentially some extra functionality. If you have a duffle bag and it’s full, it should slow you down. Add another a bag like the /panims bag that Ash just mentioned. Adding some variety to an already pretty basic feature adds to the server in many ways.

Soo I’ve had this thought for a while and tbh, I’m not sure why the current bag system is the way it is. I believe you shouldn’t have to drop your entire bag on the floor in order to access it. There should be extra UI where you “equip” your bag just like any other item of clothing. Considering this is a duffle bag and you would easily be able to move the bag from your back to your side in order to access it IRl, I’m not sure why this isn’t a thing here Implementing this would also help negate the issue of “ninja looting” which I believe shows a complete lack of RP understanding. Placing your bag and just hoping someone doesn’t come and swoop it out of nowhere when realistically you should never have to drop it in the first place. In addition to this, potentially adding more than style of bag, not just in terms of look, but also functionality. (Sizes shapes ect.)

Keep this shit going, after playing other servers with this feature. I see no issue in terms of functionality and strength. I feel as long as players do not abuse and use it to break rules. It will add soo much to the experience when in those situations. Being able to take a tire as the driver of the vehicle is not OP either, it’s the consequences of the evader.
