What server do you play on? Because on ECRP law enforcement do not have access to a Niobe.

Waiting is boring; this is a video game. Criminal roleplayers already have access to unlimited vehicle swaps. I think it's fairly balanced at the moment. In my personal experience, the helicopter is the main thing stopping you from successfully evading, not ground units.

yes, everyone's goal should be to not get caught.

I think the issue as with most things on the server is that there's some people that abuse anything they can; if you reduce prison times too much, people will evade 20 times in a day just to troll around. If we don't mind dropping the realism and leaning into the game and having fun, I'd suggest a more smart reduction: for the first time you get sent in DOC in 7 days, you get 90% of the time reduced. This would mean that if you rarely get arrested, you don't have to spend much time there, but if you want to abuse the reduction, you won't be able to more than once a week.

I don't see why we're bringing skill into this; this is not a competitive shooter, if I want to test my shooting skills with someone I go play valorant not gta v RP.. I think making changes to appease people that go into shootouts with no shoes for "sound" in gta RP is the wrong direction for the server.

I don't know what fights you're looking at, but I just looked at every active player report on the forums, and from those that include shootouts literally all of them was someone on foot and not drive-bying other than the kon report which started the prior suggestion about drive-bying. Whole situation Rooks+Empire backup breach and MG - Clipped GTA V with Medal.tv

drive-bying is fun, this is not a competitive game where everything needs to be balanced to a T

I believe it's fair to mention because a criminal roleplayer in 2025 is CODDLED compared to a criminal roleplayer in 2019, which many people still consider peak of criminal RP on ECRP. Several people were sent to DOC for 19 hour sentences, that they had to carry out. Now you get an 80% reduction from VIP, you get a reduction from pleading guilty, you get a reduction from stamps, you get a reduction from paying your tickets and in the end you serve less than two hours MAX; you can even do your entire sentence offline, with only the last hour being online. Do you understand how big of a difference there is between 19 hours to 1 hour? Even without VIP it's something like 3 if you can pay your fines, 2 of which you can do offline. Licenses used to be suspended for three days, so people ended up in cycles where they'd get their license suspended, drive with a suspended license, and have the suspension renewed for another three days, some people lived for weeks with their licenses suspended. At the same time, the fastest vehicle available to criminal roleplayers was a comet retro which had super car rarity and couldn't just be bought instantly with credits like all of the hardstuck 240 cars we have now in the credit store. The average member of a criminal organization ignores any IC repercussions by holding W as soon as he sees a cop and he'll be out of render distance 100x times over by the time backup arrives. Watch 20secondsoritsfree | Streamable The current criminal experience is akin to a streamer server where there are no real consequences for anything, and the one time a little bit of friction and potential to lose happens, it's an issue? I find this whole thread to be baffling and disconnected from reality.

"would make it so fun to learn in fights," learning recoil patterns has no place on a roleplay server, that is quite literally a csgo/valorant mechanic

The consequences for officers breaking in-character rules are not inconsequential, they are 1000x stronger than whatever consequences criminals with VIP have on this server. The maximum prison sentence is 99 minutes with Royal VIP. An officer that is found to have done the things you are talking about can be suspended for DAYS at a time. When is the last time you went to DOC for days? Punishments for criminal characters have gotten so lax that you can evade and be at impound lot requesting your vehicle back before the cop is done with the paperwork for your arrest and vehicle impound. Don't for one second pretend that criminals have any serious repercussions for being arrested. The fact that you started an entire suggestion thread based off a single interaction in which the officer, who is a player on the server just like you, stated that they forgot a new rule that was implemented during the holiday season is honestly quite silly and not what the server suggestion is for; its meant to be for suggestions that address issues on the server, not settle your personal issues. I believe you should take a few days break from the server because the way you are interacting with it is not healthy for yourself or others.

This is a roleplay server, if you want perfect pvp balance you should play Valorant. If you switched your focus from winning fights to having fun in fights you might not have such thoughts.

its how other games manage their economy, past the realism aspect, its unhealthy for the game economy if people have hundreds if not thousands of guns stored in mint condition forever.

bumping this, only gotten more needed since

my math did not math, disregard.

I agree with this. The whole "supercars being rare" thing is gone. Everyone and their mom has a supercar now, might as well let the few people that couldn't donate get one with in-game cash.

You are the same person that complained in all the threads he could that people with credit vehicles had to buy mods. You weren't worried about inflation or server economy then, but you are now because others are getting better cars than yours? Seems rather disingenuous, and it's usually referred to as "pulling the ladder up after yourself" because after you have already profited from something you now have words of caution about the thing that you yourself profited from.

Hello team There has been a growing desire from the community to equalize LEO and criminal roleplayers, since we are after all all players that simply roleplay a different character. I am all for this endeavor. I propose that the current limitation which prevents LEO players from using their credit vehicles on-duty should be removed. It makes just as much sense for @Clank to use his credit Niobe on-duty as it does for a person roleplaying a gang member from the hood, and they both helped keep the server up with their donation. I think it's very unfair currently how people can be restricted from using their OOC perk that was given to them by the founders just because of what their in-character job. I believe this change will also generate more donations from LEO players that wish to show off their support for the server.

There's tens of thousands of donators, including myself. If you only donated to have in-game advantages, you don't care about keeping the server up. If you did, it doesn't matter how slow your cars are; so either way, you're speaking against your point.

I'd agree with it but a knowledgeable person told you it's impossible to implement reliably. The only other option is to force everyone on enhanced which is still very buggy. I think the best compromise would be to lower the speed cap to 200 or 220, since most people can reach that easily.

if you only bought credit cars so you could do 240, then you are part of the problem.

The only realistic suggestion is to move the server to enhanced. Limiting FPS even if possible is overreaching.

How would this help with gang vs gang fights, since they do not have access to stabilize? They usually /cpr and trunk to MD.

Can you explain how this would work? Would you have a flat chance to die and not go to injured state, or what are you proposing exactly?
