  1. Because we like to drive to and from work to our houses with the sense of immersion. Plus the car park is meant to be for staff only, with the odd visitors that stay for 5 minutes, however a lot of people abuse this and leave their cars here for an extended period of time. When they do leave their cars here it's for hours on end making it look cluttered and unrealistic. There are at least 2 parking yards that are within 1 block of the PD that people can use to park the vehicles away from prying eyes. Also, a lot of people don't realize, but it is perfectly legal to park on the side of the road on the curb as long as, 1. You are not in a red zone, and, 2. You are not up on the sidewalk. I understand a lot of people will probably complain about the lack of 'proper' parking about the LSPD when they do come to pay fines or inquire about other legal matters. However this is more about stopping rule-breakers from stealing cars within NCZ's. A lot of PD staff have stated that while they are out on patrol in the middle of an incident, they get a notification that their alarm has been triggered and it can become quite distracting to juggle between a rule-breaker and the criminal in front of you. Furthermore, this is easier to create than to write a 'NCZ script' preventing things such as drawing your gun, lock picking cars, mugging, people, attacking, or vandalism. This combined with the fact that sometimes police will have to draw their weapon within NCZ's in order to detain/arrest a suspect. Okay, may I ask what type of vehicle do you have? Because the value and difficulty to move a stolen car onto another buyer in the real world, compared to what happens in the server with the value of what some cars are and how easy it is to get money from them is like night and day. The other thing is not a lot of people will try to steal a car from an underground parking lot when there are cameras rolling everywhere. Where-as, the NCZ's are meant to be a 'simulated' heavy surveillance zone. However as previously mentioned, players ignore this, and 'surveillance' can only be obtained when there is another person there recording.
  2. Hey guys, So here is my suggestion. We need secure parking for LSPD and LSMD as these are NCZ's, however players still choose to ignore this and are constantly breaking into cars here in an attempt to chop-shop them. This wastes valuable time for not only the Administrators and Moderators, but if there are none available it falls to the LSPD to try to recover these vehicles before being chop-shopped. This would also clear up a lot of parking congestion that occurs at LSPD. There is plenty of parking available to civilians in Legion Square. Where vehicles are fully secure. The Parking at both these locations are intended for staff only. The mechanics for this would be fairly simple to set up, as the mechanics already have something similar setup being /gatemech which opens and closes the front gates to Bayview or the staff parking at LSC. Pictured below is a rough idea of what could be setup. The control for the gates could be /gatelspd and /gatelsmd respectively. I have had multiple members of LSPD/LSMD comment that this is needed. However after talking to a few other people about it, DCC and Weazel News are also asking to have their staff carpark secured. Most of the government jobs (if not all) usually require their staff to be away from their HQ, providing a service to the state. A little peace of mind that your personal vehicle is secure while you are out goes a long way.
  3. Love the MDC fixes, been waiting for those

    Speed camera's

    Good idea but yeah if we put up speed camera at certain points, people will come to realize where they are and slow down or avoid these areas. If anything it should be unmanned mobile speed cameras that stay setup for a limited period of time.
  5. -1 sorry, but I'd rather see more CityBee rental stations before seeing another "Taxi" company.
  6. Date and time (provide timezone): 19/07/2018 4:20pm GMT10+ Character name: Joshua Fellows Issue/bug you are reporting: Upgrades for Semi trucks not functioning (Tested on Phantom). Upgrade to the engine and transmission did not yield a speed increase to both loaded and unloaded driving of cargo) Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Simply spawn a phantom, test max speed on flat terrain, apply mods in stages and retest.
  7. Hey bud, I'm all for Truckers having an increase but rather having change the payouts, you change the delivery method of the payouts. Check out my previous post here: . This would be a better suggestion rather than increasing the payout for rental truckers.
  8. Okay so then make it the crowbar is super difficult to get somehow. Either can only be imported via warehouses or its extremely expensive to buy. Then make it so that the crowbar is a one time use thing so you can't overuse it.
  9. My suggestion would be for criminals having the ability to use a crowbar, purchased from a store, using it on a house doorway and being able to break into a house. They then have to look for the stashspot that is in the interior to loot items from it. A way to counteract this would be to purchase an alarm system for houses as an add on extra. If the alarm is tripped by forced entry then the police are notified via the 911 system. You could even buy a silent alarm upgrade, slightly more expensive. The use of bobby pins could also be a useful implementation for this. In the way that bobby pins take longer to open the door, like trying to pick cars, there is a chance you will fail.
  10. Is this place still for sale? If so where and how much?
  11. Hey there everyone, Jacob Fellows here. Just thought it would be fun to see what else everyone else comes up with for some great scenery photos. I thought I'd show this great shot from the top of Mount Chiliad. Show us what you got!

  12. Just bought a private truck in the hopes to purchase performance upgrades to it. After purchasing lv1 upgrades for Engine and Transmission there appears to be no visible increase in speed
  13. Hi there my suggestion is about when you take jobs at the Truckers HQ it makes the suggestion to "use your own truck or a rental" however at the moment there is no "Rental" fee that gets taken out. My idea is instead of paying a "Rental" fee for the truck up front, when you use your own truck you receive a bonus of X amount of dollars per delivery, like a bonus. I have noticed a bonus already exists for $200/5 deliveries, I think this should stay for those using a private truck as it encourages a new workforce within the server. The "Private Truckers" bonus could be described it in-game such that the Truckers HQ doesn't have to pay for insurance on the truck because the owner already has. Most delivery companies in many countries use this method (in fact I got the idea from working for a pizza delivery company in Australia). I feel like this would work quite well for the in-game economy as I know HeavyFlow import the Hauler, Packer and Phantom in for $65,000 each. I would also like to suggest a rate of $200 per successful delivery as this means the driver has to complete 325 deliveries just to pay for the vehicle without modifying it. Let me know what you think and I can let my fellow truckers know who are also encouraged by the idea of a career in trucking in-game. Kind Regards Varakai (IGN: Jacob Fellows)
  14. Okay, but also when you go to pick up a truck at the HQ it says 'rent' a truck from them. Where does this fee come from? Do you get a higher salary for using your own truck?
  15. Can anyone tell me what is the benefit of owning your own truck to do the trucking jobs? Because apparently the performance mods don't work.
  16. Hi there, Looking to purchase unmodified or as little mods as possible for a Jobuilt Hauler for use in the trucking industry. Preferred to be a Jobuilt Hauler but if you are selling another make and model please feel free to contact me. Jacob on #5213334 or contact me via email ((Forums or discord @Varakai#9973))
