  1. AFAIK there are no penal codes against carrying a personal firearm while on duty for a government faction. I believe it is up to the discretion of the company as to whether they allow their employees to conceal carry or not. If you are suggesting that government factions (LSC, DCC, etc..) should have a scripted gun as apart of their uniform then I don't think that will ever happen has it doesn't make much RP sense.
  2. The housing market is dictated by supply and demand. Giving you a sole monopoly isnt going to help. Releasing more homes will drive the price down to some degree. I suggest releasing a batch that can only be bought by "first time buyers" (people who do not own a home and/or players up to a certain XP). These homes perhaps could be unsellable for a period of time. Because LS has a finite number of homes there will be a problem eventually when there are none left to release. At this point multi occupancy apartment and condos could fix that issue (tall buildings that can hold 100 apartments).
  3. Date and time (provide timezone): 12April2019, 10:00pm EST Character name: Chuck_Maggiano Issue/bug you are reporting: Some members of DCC are logging more /fduty hours then they have actually worked. Expected behavior: People should be paid the correct amount of hours they have worked Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: In the F4 menu, if you go to Payments and sort by On Duty Hours, you will see the most hours worked at the top and the last page will have the least amount of hours. Random people are showing more On Duty Hours then they have actually worked. One thing I do notice is that it seems the decimal is moved over, giving these people 10x more hours then they worked. In the attached pictures you will see a list of hours worked with randomly high numbers. If you move the decimal over one, then the order is suddenly correct. https://imgur.com/a/wqvSyRi https://imgur.com/a/PTZrOQz
  4. You need to apply like everyone else.
  5. Eclipse is receiving a large number of applications daily so it may take a few days to get to your application. Log into the game to see if it has been reviewed or not.
  6. I think having a Loan Company finance the loan would give equal parts business to both companies. More RP for everyone. We do it now but it's not scripted

    Blackjack

    +1 for scripted black jack. Great money sink for the server.
  8. I would love to see vehicle financing and repo teams. Could be done completely 3rd party via a Loan Company or have the Loan Company underwrite for the dealership. It would take some special scripting and/or government assistance to make it possible.
  9. -1 I don't believe we should limit player's free speech because some people talk rudely. It is not that unrealistic for someone to call someone else a bitch. We even go as far as to let people be racist IC (OOC racism is not tolerated) however if it comes to the point of harassing someone IC with hate speech/racism and they do not stop when told to by a staff member it is then considered a rule break.
  10. I think its NonRP for anyone to think they can roll up to a heavily guarded area and try to murder someone. I'm simply saying the burden for better RP is on the players not the devs/staff to change the rules to allow for a revenge kill in a NCZ.
  11. A criminal who is robbing people, in my opinion, shouldn't be a coward and hide in a NCZ. People who consistently do this are not providing high level/quality RP. Just because you can hide in a NCZ doesn't mean you should. I could just run and gun & "hands up this is rob" all day long and completely play within the rules, but would be providing low level RP.
  12. -1 If you are letting your victim(s) escape to a NCZ then maybe you didn't plan your robbery/attack very well. If the tables turn and the original attacker is being chased by his victim(s) then it sounds like they can't handle a taste of their own medicine.
  13. I've seen refunds for hand to hand loans be drastically reduced because they didn't use the script. If hand to hand loans are refunded the same way as scripted loans from a company, then loan companies are almost obsolete aside from a nice office to RP inside (which you could do at anyone's office because the doors don't lock).
  14. That percentage is whatever the interest rate was. Only the profit is taxed (at least it should be). A company's tax rate shouldn't be based on the owners personal assets. If loan company's had their own separate bank account (like car dealerships) we could have a seperate tax bracket based on how much is in that account. Loan companies by the nature of their business are going to have lots of money to invest with so the brackets would need to be expanded. Right now if you are giving out loans hand to hand your refund will be smaller compared to getting scammed via the loan company script. (Over 50% of your loan amount vs a 15k scam limit deduction). 1. The ability for assets to be directly purchased by the loan company where they will be released either by paying off the loan or seized if never paid back. This wouldn't be automatic but through a command. 2. There is a potential for repossession RP if we had a few more tools. If I could give someone a permanent key to a car and the ability to retrieve from Mors, the loan company could essentially be the rightful owner of the vehicle until the loan is paid. If it goes unpaid then a repo team can be sent out to find the vehicle and change the lock, rendering the client's key useless. 3. The ability to delete a loan would be beneficial as well. I have several loans unpaid in the $20-40k range. I can't submit a refund request for some of these and asking a dev to manually delete is time consuming. 4. The /buzz command, to my knowledge, is only heard by the two parties talking. I can use /buzz and no one can RPly see I'm talking to someone. There should at least be a message that someone is using a pager/buzzer much like sending a text on a phone. 5. This one isn't that important but the ability to refinance a loan would be cool. I use cash penalties if someone is late but if the loan could be refinanced to a higher rate for the unpaid balance this would help automate things and keep it in script. 6. Ability to change the name of the loan company and lock the front door. I dont think the owners name should be on the name plate either but thats not a big deal. 7. A chair for the office desk. There has never been a chair for the owner to sit in at the computer. I am unsure if placing furniture in a loan company is possible since this new update.
  15. @simulatorsnl, Welcome to Eclipse RP. Make sure to connect with us on the official Eclipse RP Discord by using the link found at the top left of this page.
  16. While I like the idea of more jobs and maybe even competition for DCC, as of now there would be nothing stopping an Uber driving from robbing a passenger or using the car to commit other crimes. The vetting process of getting hired and trained for an official faction weeds out most of the criminals.
  17. Downtown Cab Co. strives for a open and fun atmosphere not just with our employees but our customers too. Making small talk and keeping the client entertained is just one aspect of our busy job. Our taxi drivers can be a wealth of knowledge and will be happy to assist you with any question you might have.
  18. Many people apply for employment at Downtown Cab Co. but few are chosen. We select only the best candidates for interviews because safety and professionalism are our focus points. > Chuck Mangione sifts through a pile of applications and carefully reads through them all.

  20. Date and time (provide timezone): October 9th, 2018. ~10:30pm EST Character name: Chuck_Mangione Issue/bug you are reporting: I /upgraded my loan company, Schlongberg Sachs and when I was teleported outside like normal, James_Carwyn was also teleported from Tequila-la to the front door. He could even still play slots standing there. He relogged to fix the issue and when he came back all his money was gone. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Video can be PM'd to staff upon request. James was the last person to take a loan from my company.
  21. **Disclaimer** This faction thread is completely Out Of Character (OOC). Absolutely no information gathered here can be used In Character (IC). Downtown Cab Company (DCC) is the exclusive provider of reliable, safe and affordable transportation in Los Santos and the greater surrounding area. We are easily reached at #1111 and are open 24/7, 365 days a year. Look no further than DCC for all your transportation needs. DCC was founded in 1922 by two brothers who moved to Los Santos and found no other cab company in town and many frustrated citizens. After moving several times, DCC landed at 101 Tangerine Street in 1962 and has stayed there ever since. DCC has always been at the forefront of private transportation in Los Santos and remains as one of the most well respected businesses in the city. DCC built its reputation on it's excellent customer service and commitment towards passenger safety. DCC is proud to have been the recipient of two awards in 1992 and 2017 for Most Diverse Workplace by the Better Business Chamber of Los Santos. Future plans include expanding the vehicle fleet and hosting regular city wide events for all to enjoy. DCC has a variety of vehicle options for you to choose from that will satisfy all your needs. Whether its our classic Vapid Stanier taxi, something luxurious like the Super Diamond or an excessively large Dashound, we got you covered! - Vapid Stanier - If you took a cab or got arrested in the 1990s, there's a high chance you ended up in the back of a Vapid Stanier. Discontinued following widespread reports of fuel tanks exploding on impact in rear-end collisions. We have replaced most of our fuel tanks with an expanded 200 liter tank so our drivers can spend more time on the road and less with friends and family. - Brute Rental Shuttle Bus - Live the dream in our shuttle bus! Perfect for transporting groups of senior citizens to retirement homes or fat tourists to all-inclusive hotels. Most the seat belts broken but you need not worry, this bus can't even get over 80 km/h. - Brute Dashound - Is there a more iconic image than a Dashound coach broken down on the side of the road in some armpit of Sandy Shores? Just don't ask to go through Vinewood because this bad boy will not go up hills. No we will not take you to the top of Mount Chiliad in this. Believe us, we've tried. - Enus Super Diamond - Synonymous with style and luxury, the interior of Super Diamond has so much leather and wood, it's like sitting in a library. The historic British car manufacturer was taken over by the Germans in the late 90s, with no hard feelings whatsoever. Arrive in style and impress your friends by blowing your entire paycheck on a ride to the store. - Albany Stretch - Who doesn't want to be driven around in a limousine? Possibly the least practical car for navigating a gridlocked urban metropolis like Los Santos. Equipped will a full mini bar and privacy divider, you won't care if your driver takes you the long way home. DCC is constantly recruiting new members for entry level positions.

Thus, reformed criminals will often hold this role. As a probationary trainee, employees are watched closely by management.

    /Buzzoffice Bug

    Date and time (provide timezone): 8:45pm EST, 09/27/2018 Character name: Chuck Mangione Issue/bug you are reporting: When you use /buzzoffice, you get your message repeated back to you from the buzzer. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: https://imgur.com/a/jaqhAqb
  23. Hello and thank you for reading this Server Suggestion Sometimes a client does not pay back their loan for a variety of reasons such as quitting the server, being perma-banned, or refusing to pay the loan. A Refund Report can be made in certain situations and the loan company can be reimbursed for its initial investment but as of now only the developers can manually remove an active loan from a company. I propose a new command such as /deleteloan which will remove the active loan from the company. This will clear up "space" in the company and will prevent the salary system from auto deducting money from the client and paying towards a loan that was already satisfied via the Refund Request
