Fishing is already one of the highest income per hour as a civilian. I am a manager at DCC after 3 months of wrking there and making it up the ranks....and make less than fishing.
Fishing income is fine. Gov jobs need a serious raise.
Variety of fishing, or a bit more exciting experience would be great though.
Um what? Senior Drivers alone make 6k in DCC. He makes $4.7k according to his post.

Since the speed limits are all in incrimants of 10, they could add like L and Arrow Left to reduce the cruise speed by 10 r L and Arrow Right to increase the cruise speed by ten.
Having to do /cruise every time you wanna change is inconvenient.

Well it's a bit of an awkward situation where it's constantly in a same places but we have to forget they are there.
If we get a call about them or stumble across them doing something else then we can destroy them.
I did make a suggestion that might change that

Also, Nice meme.
Can we not say the same for you? If you are PD/Legal you do not have to deal with any of these consequences, you just send their ass in jail, and in an hour you will forget all about them, meanwhile they're the ones who have to sit in there and keep themselves occupied for 5+hours. Little to no RP or interaction from DOC. No daily routine, no nothing.
You are also posting your usual rhetoric. You are not the one that has to keep yourself occupied for 5+hours with nothing to do. You toss their ass in jail, throw away the key and thats where it ends for you. People come on the server to have fun, this is a fucking game. They are not looking to come onto the server to be bored for over 5hours, this is not fun, this is not RP.Might as well just play an entertaining single player game at that point rather than sit in a chair and /afkmath every time it pops up.
>Come home from a day's work
>Forget you got put in jail yesterday before logging off
>Log onto ECRP to relax after work and have fun
>Realize you are in prison and have 5 hours left
>Mine for 10minutes and realize its fucking pointless and boring
>watch youtube/netflix on one screen and afkmath on the other due to the complete lack of RP in prison
>3/5hours completed before logging off to do chores, work, etc.
>Realize you gotta do the same tomorrow
This is the RP i was looking forward to when they announced the increase to prison times
If we are PD/Legal, we have to operate within the law no matter what. You put yourself out there when you decide to be a criminal but it's purely your choice.
You said it yourself, after an hour i've forgot all about you so why is keeping you entertained my problem? I'm not DOC and i'm not a fellow inmate.See, I think people like you and actually probably a number of the criminals in this server are so used to the safety blanket of two hour prison sentences and it's spoilt you. Now that you have actual consequences for your actions, you can't handle it. You want it to be one way, but it's the other way.
This is a game but there are winners and losers. Your aim is to do whatever you want, whenever you want to do it. My aim is to stop you from doing those things if they are illegal. If you avoid prison, you win. If you go to prison, I win.
I can understand that you'd like me to empathise with your situation but what about the miners that get robbed or the people that get murdered? I doubt your thinking about their fun when you're ruining their time on the server. But that's how it goes.
The strong pick on the weak. You only have a problem with that when someone else is the farmer with the shotgun and you're the rabbit.
You want RP in the prison? You and your FeelsChromosomeMan buddies need to be creating it. Don't look to DOC or PD for the answer to your problems, we can't roleplay for you. If the sum of your efforts in jail is watching Netflix and doing the afkmath, then you're the problem, not us.

This seems a reliable, unbiased discussion about the prison times. No doubt the usual suspects will post their rhetoric.
Let's face it, arbitary screenshots or not, you still almost certainly did something to deserve that time.

if script is the issue, just leave the Legal items on the person.
If i leave your radio on someone, they can communicate with the outside world. If I leave a bottle of vodka on someone, they can use that bottle to try and kill somebody. If I leave a fishing rod on someone, that's frankly just ridiculous.
I get it, things can be expensive and it's annoying have to rebuy things but maybe dont carry what you don't need or don't get caught by the police.

Doesn't hurt at all, adds a little extra flavour to things.

It was added but it's for Weazel, as it should be.

The frisk and cuff timers make sense.
The vehicle lock and the eating/drinking timers are AIDS though.

Suggestion: Police need to change the way they impound cars or the NCZ should be removed.
Reason: I recently got arrested while I was in my Comet Retro. The police decided they would be impounding my car.
There were far to many cops for my gang to attempt to break me out but they decided to try and save my car from being impounded.
Instead of calling for a tow truck to take my comet to the impound an officer decided to drive my comet himself. I feel that this is very unrealistic as a standard police officer would not personally drive a criminals car who has just been arrested for having a heavy weapon.
Since PD officer knows that the impound is an NCZ they usually if not always drive at extreme speeds to the impound to prevent any sort of RP of my gang trying to get my car back.
I have experienced this multiple times when I have tried to prevent someones car from being impounded but the cop decides to drive at speeds of 200km+ and drive recklessly on the wrong side of the road etc.
I know if the impound wasn't an NCZ it would be a constant "hands up! release my car now" which is also not very realistic. I am not exactly sure of a way to prevent this from happening while allowing gangs to prevent members cars from being impounded, which is why I have suggested that PD members should have a set protocol when it comes to impounding vehicles.
I would like to have seen the officers call a tow truck and have backup vehicles escorting the car to the impound instead of an officer driving criminals cars to the impound while breaking every road traffic law there is.
So, there were too many cops online for your faction to break you out but stealing back your car is some how a worthwhile endeavour? If we're talking about realistic behaviours, I think we have to acknowledge that's a bit of a double standard.
If we're talking realism, there would be hundreds of police officers in a city this big with special towing units. PD has 125 people and usually about 10 of those on. It's not always practical to go and get a tow-truck. Most times we will use a tow-truck but when an issue is time sensitive or it's a bike for example, we'll take it ourselves.
As for the PD officer driving at excessive speeds, that sounds like the sort of thing that would be an in-character IA report issue, not for a suggestion forum.
I also resent the implication that the PD wants to prevent role-play with anyone, I think that's actually slanderous.
We do have a set protocol when impounding vehicles, thank you very much.
I would like to see you guys not use masks to hide your identities constantly but I doubt that will happen. Think you have to perhaps accept the practicalities of the situation and not make a mountain out of a molehill.
IPPU, we coming for you. You didn't suggest an alternative, 9/10 times it's a towtruck that is responsible for a vehicle getting towed.

We've got the DCC and for the most part, I think it works. There aren't always enough fares for 2-3 people as is, so adding more transport possibilities isn't a good idea to me right now.

I guess trying to solve it through IC means isn't really working because we can't watch the Farm and the Mine and this and that 24/7.
It's also not practical to make the farm a no-crime zone.I think an ideal compromise would be making the wheat player specific. You could still do your job, but you could still be robbed of your other items.
Then it becomes about having stuff on you when you are working, not about them stealing your work.

I don't want to presume to know how you choose to play but sometimes it seems like people think they have this protection bubble around them and in reality, if you are alone and/or unarmed you're going to be a target for those in groups and/or armed. That's just human nature, the strong preys on the weak and so forth.
You can't really escape it completely but if you keep your wits about you then you are less likely to get caught slipping. Carry a gun, keep surveying your surroundings. Paul's Farm, the Mine and the Foundry are all pretty secluded or far out locations so it makes sense it would happen there.

Doing what you suggested wouldn't necessarily stop you from being pulled over. -1

Fair enough for taking a stand and not just complaining about it, I think there is probably room to joke with people when sensitive subjects come up with friends because not everyone finds the same things offensive but obviously if it's a complete stranger then it's different.
Best of luck.

Didn't really know you much apart from my Punishment appeal but reading what you put was rough man, sorry you had to even go through something like that. Hope your mother is doing a lot better, that's some heroic shit right there.

Someone went to prison today for 27 hours. They weren't gang affiliated, they were not a murderer or an armed robber, they recklessly drove a lot. The cops didn't apply those charges, the server did but because of the amount of charges they amassed decided they were getting that amount. So, when stuff like that happens, even on a rare occasion, to me it exposes a massive flaw in this change.
It genuinely seems like the big picture gets ignored. PD and Gang relations are on a knife edge at the best of times but you have the perfect insight into just how bad it is in this thread. Gangs don't fight each other and they have even less incentive to do so now because if they get caught and naturally in a gang war, it's gunna make noise and cops will see, it's going to result in hefty prison sentences. For what? The gangs aren't gaining anything, they either maintain the peaceful status quo or they lose out. How's that good for encouraging Gang RP?
We're cats and dogs at the end of the day but there has to be some respect and understanding between at least the leaders of each faction or it splinters the community.
This change is the equivalent of not being able to get enough salt out of the salt pot, so you unscrew the top and pour it out.It should of been increased to a more reasonable number like 5/6 hours then see how things go from there. Baby steps, not a long jump.
Personally, I'm not comfortable sending someone to prison for more than six hours so if it's solely up to me and they roleplay, i'm gunna be asking admins to set less time whenever possible. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar and I feel like it's important PD is seen as being reasonable and fair, else we can't really expect the same from the crims can we.

Issue/bug you are reporting: You can see /dep radio chat when you are in PD and another faction, even if you aren't tuned into the PD frequency.
Expected behavior: I believe that you should not be able to see the department radio if you aren't on duty as a Cop, Medic or Corrections.
Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: You cannot talk but you can see it. If you're off duty, you shouldn't be able to and it's separate from being in the PD radio channel so you cant toggle it.

Occasions as in once in a blue moon.
If someone is facing eight hours in prison if he surrenders, but eighteen for shooting at all the cops arresting him, he would reasonably surrender. Adding a hard cap will give him permission to do whatever he wishes when he reaches the cap, as there will be no further punishment, only the possibly of reward (if he dies in the shootout).
I think in trying to adjust the balance, they've just completely swung it the wrong way and if I were a criminal, it's perhaps not going to motivate me to commit crime smarter which seems to be the point, it's going to demotivate me to play, especially if I'm stuck in prison for 10 hours.
It's about balance, yes punish those that commit the crimes but then we're reliant on criminals for our activity in PD as well and it's been weird the past couple weeks because there are periods where we've had 250-300 people on the server and barely any 911 calls. I'm not sure that a 10 hour prison sentence helps that.
I'm also not sure that it encourages the gangs to fight each other instead of baiting cops and robbing civilians either because they know it's an easy catch. I'm not sure that people are as accepting OOC to go to prison. I'm not sure that people won't do everything they possible can to death roleplay or to loophole out of going to prison.
A new player comes to the server and is speeding around in a vehicle, getting Reckless Operation charges but he's unaware of the consequence of this like a normal player would be. He gets 4 of those charges and when he gets caught, he goes to prison for three hours for driving fast around the city. He thinks it's just tickets. We then have to remove his license, he get an extra fine on top. If that was you, would you stay?
It's like a lot of these changes whether it's the GPS or the prison cap or the hunger/water or the recoil or the cross hair removal is for a server we don't have.

+1 - Maybe they were going for more realism but it's GTAV, not DayZ. Everyone has access to a smart phone, it's not unreasonable to have a Map App on it.

I mean you'd have to work pretty much every single minute, where as DCC, you only need to be on duty and by your vehicle to get paid.
