Ignore him @Ash - The DOC faction ain't at fault for jack shit of the problems with prison. Kourtney, Kimey, yourself (when you worked there), Steve, Audrey etc.. all do a great job with what little you have to work with. If you wanna like.. colour your hair and have a little fun with things, go for it!

Because Burger Shot was set-up to increase player to player interaction. There was just unfortunately a little bit too much emphasis on making Burger Shot viable that we're forced players to use it a little too much. Also, this is a very interesting signature!

Na, gotta keep the homies together in LS. Too much splitting right now.

Yeah, because like when you rented your super-car to a criminal who continually got into trouble with it over the space of a few days, it got a bit silly impounding and then releasing it over and over. I'm not talking about timed impounds for EVERY car but at the same time if John Smith is using his Issi Sport to felony evade every 24 hours once their license suspension ends, it would make sense to hold it a little longer no?

I mean if you can’t drive for a day anyway, what’s the difference if your car is in the impound for 24 hours?

I cannot agree with the original poster because to be honest with you, we struggle for person-to-person roleplay as it is in the server. As a cop that does regular attend the impound, I can tell you that yes it is the same thing over and over again but it's one of the few opportunities to interact politely with other players, especially criminals, in short because they need something from you. Now as for the Impound itself, like many of the current systems on the server, it is functional but not especially convenient. That goes either for those impounding the vehicles or those getting them out. Even with the wait times, I still wouldn't fuck with the person to person release part. It generates RP between cops and civs as well as allows for extra documentation by PD for our RP purposes. What I think would make the impound better however is; Introducing the Impound MLO that I bought for the server last July. It's located where the current Mors Insurance is and is closer to the centre of the city, walking distance to Parking and by proxy, closer to LSC / LSPD. Add in the Flatbed with the rope and ramp script, rather than the CTRL+X and /towposition system we have right now. Makes towing more convenient and pleasurable for sickos like me that do this stuff. Add driveable health to totalled vehicles on respawn, for a reasonable addition to the release fee. We don't need more broken down cars clogging the Impound. Adding enough engine health to get the car moving again, not but enough to cuck the mechanics. Adding fine pay points for fines to the Impounds. Waiting for a while to be told you can't get your car out as you have tickets must actually suck. People don't interact at LSPD/LSSD when they come to pay their fines. They come in, pay and dip. Ringing the Bell a second time within say 15 minutes will send the impound message in a slightly different colour. This would indicate urgency and that someone has been waiting longer. Waiting 5 minutes for an unimpound isn't unreasonable, waiting 15+ however is kind of shitty. Allow Cops to see how much the impound release fee will be on /viewimpound. Pretty simple really but then least people are not in for any nasty surprises. Increase the Fixed Release Fee on the Issi Sport. Bruh, need I say more? Costs more to get out a BF, if I'm not mistaken brev. Add Timed Impounds Essentially, this would allow for vehicles to be impounded for x amount of hours for more serious offences. Someone persistently using the same vehicle for big crimes would in certain cases lead to vehicles being held for a minimum of x hours. Allow for Player Unimpounds if < 4 Law Enforcement are online This is specifically for the graveyard shift. Being able to get your own car out provided you don't have active charges or tickets if there are not enough cops online. Fuck i'm good.

The flat earth comment is simply to highlight how silly some of these opinions are. The only thing wrong with the Mini MDC is that sometimes the exact number can fluctuate a couple KM/H. That's literally it. Civilians ain't going to drive realistic speeds so why is a mini MDC picking up a car going 200 km/h so unreasonable? People champion for realism when it suits them.

It’s not a thoughtful discussion, it’s crims complaining about cop stuff for the sake of it. You know why the Mini MDC has not been touched since Moses came down off the mountain with the Commandments? Because there is no need.

You operating your vehicles constantly at 200 kmh+ is probably not realistic so if you don’t drive so fast, there isn’t going to be any opportunity for the mini MDC to catch you when it shouldn’t be. After all, we care about realism right?

Some people think the Earth is flat. The Mini MDC is fine.

If it's not broke, please don't fix it.

I can't agree, if you want to join PD, you got to do it with a clean character and keep that character clean for the duration of your time in PD.

While it's understandable that YOU want another chance after YOU made a mistake, you have to consider that there are factions on this server that take themselves seriously and breaking the law seriously. Hiring convicted criminals brings the department into disrepute. I'm not a fan of anything that allows people to break the law, get caught and then end up with lesser consequences without it. I don't want to share a faction with other people that have committed crimes because I like to cling onto what semblance of realism and logic I can. It's unfortunate for your character but it's not unfair. Actions have consequences. We have suspended and kicked people out of the faction for getting a criminal record in PD, we don't play when it comes to that stuff. In my view, it would be nice if some of the other government factions took the same approach but it is what it is.

This isn't the server for characters to live with long-term consequences, it's more "recover, regroup and go again." - Not a slight on the server, just how it is here. It would be more fitting for the server to have the death penalty than life sentences. Plus, the prison experience is in my opinion, awful, with very little to do and even with a dozen inmates, half of which are alt-tabbed or beating the shit out of one another. It would be more of an OOC punishment to force a player to stay there permanently than an IC one. IF the prison experience improved significantly, then I think it would be a decent idea but ifs and buts were candy and nuts, then we'd all have a merry christmas.

There’s a reason it’s been a long time but welcome back big man

I don't agree with or support the suggestion. I personally feel that if you're evading from a violent crime, I should be able to light you up like a christmas tree if it's controlled, with the thought process being that if you're incapacitated, you cannot hurt anyone else. But that's just me. That said, I'm content with doing laps of the city with you for 20-25 minutes because you know we won't take your tires or PIT you in the city.

The idea behind it was good, but the execution was poor. I don't believe MD was told this was happening, which gave them little to no time to prepare. Subsequently also, with the removal of Central MD, there was no longer a morgue in Los Santos and administrators have to be called to dispose of bodies placed at Pillbox. The reality is, the medical roleplay that people have on this server is limited but I would say 95% of it is medics treating injuries on that scene, not at the hospitals. The hospitals serve not only as vehicle spawn points but also, as locations to heal injured players, something that is at the best of times awkward. In short, medical roleplay on Eclipse isn't something that is going to unite people, no matter what, it's simply a means to an end. That's not anything negative against our medics, they do great with very little but there's no point making changes for an idealist view of what the server is. So, rather than limit things, I recommend the following changes; Sandy Medical and Mount Zonah be reinstated as usable locations once again. Sandy serves the bottom half of Blaine County and Mount Zonah serves the westside of Los Santos. We purchase the MLOs I'll leave down below for these locations, for the price of a Single Issi Sport. Why? Because being able to tailor the world to suit your server is massively underrated. The Zonah MD has more administrative stuff for MD, Sandy is pretty small but it fits the county. We add some peds to the MLOs to make it seem a little more alive when players are not there. We add a Coroner Job location in Los Santos and have body drop offs at the morgues in each of the four hospitals so PD and MD aren't necessarily so dependant on body drop offs and can focus on the living or criminals. We add a couple back alley surgeons to Blaine County and Los Santos for criminals to go to, that are more expensive to get healed at to give them an outlet.

We could perhaps make the tables collision-less so you can find the right spot to sit, but at the same time, you can't sit and eat so maybe it doesn't matter.

BURGER SHOT PLUS With the inclusion of the Burger Shot MLO and the assigned job, it's allowed players to interact with other players in a way we haven't had previously in ECLIPSE. While in it's current state, it's a good idea, with some extra changes, it can be even better. Some of these proposals, you will find in my thread. I haven't seen any other threads about Burger Shot so I apologise if there is an overlap, but let's get started. I'm a huge fan of attention to detail. The player to player aspect of this is great, NEW UNIFORM With the upcoming clothing update, it's going to allow us to create and/or add custom clothing to the server with a freedom we didn't previously have. Accurate and High Quality uniforms help with player immersion which is incredibly important on an RP server. I've created a uniform that resembles the burger shot ped from GTA V. Burger Shot polo top, plain dark blue pants and some sneakers, with some gloves for hygienic reasons. I've also include a side by side with the ped for reference. Not exactly alike, but influenced by for sure. Look the part, be the part. NEW FOODS AND RECIPES Currently we're able to some recipes but I would like to see maybe a few extra ones thrown in for good measure. Added Items Chicken Meat Onion Milk Chocolate Recipes Cheeseburger - Bread, Lettuce, Tomato, Cheese, Cooked Cow Meat Cheeseburger Meal - Cheeseburger, Fries, Soda Hamburger - Bread, Lettuce, Tomato, Cooked Cow Meat. (Cooker) Hamburger Meal - Hamburger, Fries, Soda Chicken Burger - Bread, Lettuce, Cooked Chicken Meat. (Cooker) Chicken Burger Meal - Chicken Burger, Fries, Soda Chicken Wrap - Bread, Lettuce, Tomato, Cooked Chicken Meat (Cooker) Beef Burrito - Bread, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Cooked Cow Meat (Cooker) Chicken Nuggets - Chicken (Fried) Onion Rings - Onion (Fried) Vanilla Ice Cream - Milk (Frozen) Chocolate Ice Cream - Milk, Chocolate (Frozen) Milkshake - Milk (Drink Machine) NEW MEAT DROP-OFF POINT In addition to the butcher drop-off for the hunting, hunters would be to sell their chicken and cow meat at the Burger Shot for an increased drop price than they would get wnormally at the butchers. NEW SEPERATE FRIDGES FOR THE ITEMS INSTEAD OF DRAWERS In addition to the butcher drop-off for the hunting, hunters would be to sell their chicken and cow meat at the Burger Shot for an increased drop price than they would get wnormally at the butchers. Navigating the different drawers is sometimes problematic, particularly as players are sometimes in the same spot. There is also no telling what is in what fridge until you open it, so my suggestion here is to separate the drawers into fridges instead. Objects can also be added behind the glass below, to show what is there easily. Left Storage - Chocolate, Milk, Cheese. Middle Storage - Bread, Lettuce, Chicken, Cow Meat Right Storage - Tomato, Potato, Onion NEW ADD THE READY MADE FOOD TO THE FOOD SHELVES FOR EASY ACCESS FROM THE FRONT COUNTER When you use the preparation area to create whatever the recipe is, when the food is cooked, it would spawn the item on the food shelf depending on the side, ready to be picked up by the front desk, for easy access. NEW CLEANING SIDE ACTIVITY Currently, when it's quiet, besides the cooking, there is not much to do inside the interior but to wait. Also, if there are multiple people working at the time, you only really need one to cook and one to take orders. I'm proposing that periodically, there is a spawn of a piece of restaurant trash inside the Burger Shot interior somewhere. It might be a cup or a tray or a packet of cigarettes on the floor, but it would require cleaning up. You would get a small bonus for each piece of trash you clean up, but also, there would be a bonus for those on duty, how clean Burger Shot is will affect your passive income. Right now you get like $500 per in-game hour. But with my proposal this would perpetuate up or down between $350-$650 depending on how clean the restaurant is. NEW COUNTER BELL Working in the kitchen, when you're alone, sometimes you don't hear a customer come in and if you are in a UI, you won't see their text either. Having a bell that can be pressed, say every three minutes that will sound a little audio reminder would be nice. ALLOW BURGER SHOT SUPPLY DESTRUCTION OR AUTO REMOVAL GOING OFF DUTY There is no distinction in your inventory right now between a Customer's Burger or your burger, as well as you cannot get rid of the burger shot spawned items, without going back to the fridge and putting the stuff back. This is pretty inconvenient if you forget, because then you have to go back to Burger Shot, go on duty to access the fridge, drop the stuff and go back off shift. Either having the option to destroy the item or have them remove themselves from your inventory when you go off duty would help. NEW PROPS It just adds to the variety of what players can be holding in their hands when eating and they look really good. NEW INTERIOR MLO I have previously brought this up a couple of times, but I cannot stress how much better I think this interior is than the one we currently have. The current one is ported over from GTA IV which had a complete different aesthetic to GTA V, which is why things are quite drab. In addition to a more vibrant colour scheme, the MLO comes with an office, a break room and also, a locker room. The locker room would be the ideal place to go on duty. The office would allow for expansion if it was a business at a later date. It's an interior that I'd personally want to visit and an interior I wouldn't mind working in. For $25, it's an absolute steal!

-1 for a number of reasons but essentially, the weapons we get are not ours, they are spawned by the server.

I think the vast majority of the people banned deserved it and it’s for the betterment of the server/community that they aren’t here anymore. There are individuals that deserve a second chance but a lot of people that do not, bans are case by case. blanket unban does not work. It’s like instead of flushing the toilet, you take the water out and pour it back in again. Just put a little bleach down and hit the flush.

The bringing back rulebreakers card gets used on every role-play server as a last resort and the reason that it's a last resort is that the community it's used in usually folds soon after. It's not unbanning those that have fucked up, it's making those that play here and within the rules feel like this is their community, come rain or sunshine. Building the server and the rules on their backs. As for the player count, to be honest with you, there was a global pandemic. People had nothing to do but sit home and play video games so of course the population was high. I fucking hated when we had 500-600 people on the server and you know why? Because it was chaos, the amount of rulebreakers and poor roleplayers that were running around was awful. There is only a very small collection of servers that can maintain a high standard and a high player count. For us, I think the support staff were overwhelmed with apps and the standard got away from them. I agree with your last point and I think it's extremely counter productive when people are almost talking about a completely different server to the one we actual play. Community could use a real momentum shift and get everything pointing in the same direction, because at times we're all over the place. We need a strong, uniting figure to decide what Eclipse is actually supposed to be but I just don't see that.

-1. Been in the PD faction for three years, not going to be dictated to by server rules when I'm allowed to join a situation for role-play within it. I don't try and tell you how many friends you can play with.
