This already exists, though with no script support.

[Scrayard Vehicle Bug - Unregistered Vehicle Issue]

My understanding of the previous behaviour was the vehicle got deleted. Player would lose their investment and the vehicle was gone, not taking up any vehicle slots and unable to be retrieved again.

I'm not against the idea, but I'm not sure having an entire faction founded on paperwork is the kind of thrilling gameplay people are looking for.

deeming use in helicopters NonRP. Even most military helicopters utilize LMGs

What weapon do you propose be used from helicopters? The last time this discussion was had, people were angry that rifles were being used and so I resolved to have the marksman rifle be what's used thanks to its precision.

You can see my dilemma here.

[Nerf the marksman rifle.]

What are you proposing, exactly?

[Online MDC]

I'd rather keep it as it is. While convenient for certain forum-based tasks that you don't necessarily need to be in-game for, forcing people to actually be in-game to use it prevents weird edge cases of metagaming.

[Remove the Micro SMG from LEOs loadouts]

I specifically investigated replacing this weapon a little while ago and the problem was that there aren't any weapons to replace it. There weren't any good options for a weapon capable of being fired from a vehicle. If you have suggestions for a weapon that LSPD should use in this role that isn't "take it it away entirely" I would be pleased to take your suggestion under advisement.

[Private labs being completely murdered.]

The problem isn't the public labs, it's the "hands up or die" bozos. If people move away from that mentality and it's no longer tolerated, things will be better. Everyone seems to complain about being robbed or shot at... but the proposed solution isn't to work on getting rid of the robbing/shooting mentality, it's to go back to sitting alone playing inventory management.

There's more than 1 table at these labs... it's entirely possible to share the toys.

[People Should Not Be ICly Responsible for What OOC Corruption Forces Them to Do - Change DM Rule]

What if people simply said "oh shit, someone called the cops, time to leave" instead of "oh shit, someone called the cops, time to start blasting."

[VIP and DOC issues]

I see this as an unintended consequence of the "hurry the fuck up" mentality people have, and officers' rush to get people in jail because they get screamed at if they try to do their due diligence. These mistakes will get made when people are rushing to get things done as quickly as possible, so charges getting added later is all but inevitable. I highly doubt this has been abused intentionally just to make people sit in prison for longer, but if you have direct evidence of that please submit it to PD leadership so it can be looked at.

Having said that, the VIP perk not reducing time from charges placed in this way is obviously an oversight and should get fixed. Having additional charges go over the limit I think is acceptable, because it dissuades people from just killing as many people as possible in prison because "I can't get any more than 5 hours, might as well go on a spree."

Only thing I'd change is make it so there's a small bit of extra health instead of exactly the right amount, otherwise you'll get a situation where a small sneeze will stall the car again.

[Private labs being completely murdered.]

What would happen if two gangs simply said "we'll use these tables, you use those tables" instead of shooting at each other? I was at one of these labs yesterday and there were a bunch of tables there. Who says you can't come to some sort of arrangement? Why is it always "hands or die"?

Maybe a good solution would be to start the jail/prison time as soon as a charge is added.

What would happen if a person is positively identified and escapes, but because they've been identified charges get placed? They might not get caught for a couple hours, making their time in jail zero. Wouldn't make sense.

[RP to hide guns]

I will always advocate for "what you see is what you get."

If others can see the gun, I think it's reasonable they should be able to take action based on that information. They have no idea if you've done whatever RP to hide something that's clearly visible, and it grinds IC interactions to a halt once you start an argument in OOC chat saying it actually isn't visible, people demanding proof, etc. And even if people accept your RP that it isn't visible, suddenly we're in a really awkward situation where the IC interaction has to be voided by non-moderators. It's just really awkward and unfun experience in my mind.

If the developers provide a way to let people hide guns, fine. But it used to be that some guns were actually hidden, which made those guns have a use case: the 50 is powerful but visible, but others were invisible. Each weapon had its pros and cons. I think that was a good gameplay feature, if unintended. But right now I think trying to use /mes and /dos that others can't see until an argument starts OOC isn't the way to go. Use a bag. Major bag alert.

Yeah but if you sell the guns and you RP that it is scratched off... Your license gonna be safe right?

There's no script support for this. Let's say you illegally sell the gun, if the buyer ends up dead and the police find the weapon on their corpse, there's nobody there to tell the police this kind of RP has been done so they'll be able to track the serial number.
