+1 This is definitely something that requires more work to be done though, to better make it fair and balanced but I think it's 100% worth the consideration and lay out the ground work, I can surely say, Public Labs = Red Zone, Poor to negligible RP standards are carried out, Besides if gangs can put their tables freely in their territories it will give them more reason to stay within their turf bounds and not just actively roll public labs while spending bare minimum time at their home turf, Maybe this new system could be introduced in a way that official factions HAVE to place the tables within their turfs, And add limits to the tables they can put or maybe cost to it, Solos can RP with the gangs to cook at their turfs by giving them a cut or an accepted upfront cash in exchange for using the tables, Giving gang members a better use for their turf.

+1 I agree if private labs were as powerful as public lab it would lower the engagement a lot and will bring inflation to the server however, I think considering the state we're in, where it's nearly impossible for a smaller group to make drug money without being loaded with guns or backup is like, 1 in 10 times. I know some people do it successfully still in whatever way they want and criminal roleplay must come with risk but plainly speaking, private drug lab are not free of risk, Maybe restrict it to RV only and the exploding table mechanics also provide another way of interaction and it takes forever to cook drugs. I don't see it as opportunity to stop engaging but rather having more options, The private drug lab in an RV with limited space and the constant need for water could simply not serve as a bigger source but rather allow the smaller groups to have SOME sort of alternative than forming an entire militia just to cook 500 Coke lol.
