I think that based on prior player interaction with the script, we need to operate with the assumption that people will use it to their advantage, if possible. The main suggestion says no limit; that would get out of control very very quickly. I can see having a third non-government faction slot, for sure, but I am strongly against removing limits entirely.

-1 I think that the perks that come with being in an official factions are relatively strong, and they are there because of the RP that comes with it. I do not believe that it would be realistic for someone to wake up, go to a mechanic shop, start working on cars, just for an hour later to put on their judge robes adjudicate a case, then go to central MD, clock in as a paramedic only to end the day by watching inmates at DOC. This is what alts are for. One character should not be able to do everything, and you can very well argue its unrealistic.

You can not do a clean PIT as you see them in real-life because of game mechanics. The other car will continue to steer forward because the car doesn't lose as much traction as it does in real-life when pushed sideways. This in addition to desync caused by ping, low fps and a ton of networking issues because it's a mod of a console port. There are many issues with using hard roadblocks, and some players even said that using roadblocks is unrealistic (https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/topic/49333-hold-leo-factions-to-the-same-risk-reward-non-rp-standards-that-criminals-are-held-to/?do=findComment&comment=257751). Another large issue with your suggestion is that cars routinely slow down in real-life because the driver does not want to die, which is something that is not true in the context of the game, people regularly try to force their own death in order to get away from an arrest. They will happy hold W non-stop for a pursuit, zooming 240 km/h through 30 intersections. Even "high speed" pursuits in real life have large stretches in which the person being pursued slows down drastically, opening windows for pits. Until people are held to a more realistic driving standard in general, holding one faction unilaterally to a disproportionate standard seems excessive. Until spike strips are fixed (bug reported here: https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/topic/56923-spike-strips-11-bug-update/ ) adding restrictions to pursuit protocol is unrealistic.

@Nyter

thread looks good. good luck!

I ship it

The biggest difference with IRL is that you can not tackle someone in GTA. If someone is running on foot, the only way to stop them is either tasing them, or ramming them with a car. People also do not run out of breath in GTA, and can run forever. Until you add a tackle system, I do not think you can add a limit to taser usage and not make it incredibly powerful to run on foot from law enforcement.

Removed comments which were not constructive. If you have issues with the way the faction is representing themselves on any ECRP platform, please submit a complaint with faction management or contact the leader(s) of the faction privately.

Let's not. Thread archived.

I think a good amount of people did it in the past, however, that doesn't make it great or something to aspire towards. At one point WCA was robbing people at gas stations, but if I supported the public robbery rule, you would find that a good argument against it? You can support a better standard, even if you were part of the problem, because you want (or should want) things to improve, and not stay the same forever. I think if we're moving forward towards more realistic RP, and advocate for it (such as what you self-identified as), a gang banger with a bodycamera and a sharp pen makes absolutely no sense.

To be fair, it does seem to be a bit questionable to be wearing a bodycamera as a gang member. I think you would struggle to find a career criminal in the hood going around with a bodycamera on his person. If anything, they'd be shot for it. It's mainly cops and civilians that wear them. I'm not against people having to do some extra work if they wish to wear them, except when it makes sense to be provided by an employer (including DCC, Weazel, etc)

Negative comments removed. If you have any issues with the way the faction is conducting itself, contact faction management or faction leadership privately. This is not the place for it. Any further posts of the kind will result in forum and/or in-game punishments.

Just like every gang discord has at least one OOC voice channel? It's a non-issue, as long as metagaming does not happen.

Date and time (provide timezone): 15/JAN/2020 0700 UTC Character name: Jason Steel (spike strip) & Cyrus Carver (driver) Issue/bug you are reporting: Spike strips do not do anything since 1.1 Expected behavior: The tires of the vehicle should become deflated Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: https://streamable.com/10m1rn Place down spike strip Drive over spike strip Prior to 1.1, this only happened if the spike strips were placed outside of streaming distance. Now it happens regardless of them being placed well within streaming distance. old bug report thread: https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/topic/51371-spike-strips-not-working-outside-of-streaming-range/ Vehicle license plate number*: N/A - does not work against any vehicle

They still do not work.

Yes. Do /stats before and after. I do /paytoll as a cop and do not pay anything.

Looks very unique. Excited to see how it unfolds in-game. Good luck!

My biggest issue with alias is the misuse of the command. I find that if you meet someone reasonably, i.e. hey I'm Jason Steel, you're John Doe, that's fine to /alias. The issue for me arises when during a robbery, someone aliases rob1, rob2, kos3, etc. I'd consider making /alias tied to /license, or require approval similar to /frisk. Obviously if you introduced yourself to someone, you will be able to /aliasapprove or whatever, but it should help stop random alias abuse.

And the server has been around for three years. Let's not pretend the Drag was a rare sight. Triads were posting pictures with 25 drags a year ago now. It was (and probably still is) the most common motorbike on the server, simply because of its performance and ability to lose people in chases.

The look have stayed the same. You can still enjoy the looks and the RP aspect of it.

If you bought the drag because you liked it or for RP reasons, nothing changed. Things only changed if you bought the drag because it was OP.

I would love to see fines that scale on your income, similar to the tax system. Shows that it's possible and some of the groundwork is already done. Say something like a $500 base + % of net worth. Obviously percentage would be higher on stuff like murder and much lower on reckless operation.
