    On #1: Adding mechoffer 3

    It would be helpful to have a server-side check against the frequent Non-RP interactions roadside mechanics have: Arrive on scene, see flipped car, RP the hook (even though you can't hook onto a flipped car), ram the car to flip it, customer hops in (usually because desync means only 1 person can see the car upright), customer drives off (with car still RPly hooked to the tow), now PM the driver and inform them its a non-rp, hope they come back to continue, then you can do a roadside repair and charge them. 

    Essentially, towing a car damages it, so roadside repairs as a way to make money is fine. However, the lack of a mechoffer 3 means non-RP evasion and trying to get free flips happen too often. 

    On #3: A chink in otherwise impervious armor

    LSC doesn't have a problem as large as this fence issue, but the lack of a gate on the staircase means people can easily lockpick bikes from the upstairs employee parking, drive them down the stairs and speed off. 

    The vehicle suggestions all seem very good, especially eliminating the useless utility trucks. Choppers are probably a stretch, but brainstorming solutions to the problem of stuck cars (to avoid needing admins) is a great move!

    Agree with the spirit of the proposal. Assuming that spirit  is to add more fun and diverse RP for prisoners and DOC.

    A few problems stand out to me with the proposal, but the overarching theme is simply that making prison break more easily accessible will not enhance RP at the prison.

    Problem 1: Black market "store" is not realistic and difficult to balance.  Prisoners won't have much if any cash on them, and certainly not bank cards or account info. 

    Problem 2: Overstretches DOC beyond a reasonable capacity. Needing guards stationed  at more places than currently required/encouraged, would require a massive increase in hiring. 

    Problem 3: It would make transport, intake, and processing of convicts take far longer. If the prison is on lock-down more often, people will see large delays as they wait in the back of cop cars for the prison to be secure. 

    Prison break policy might need adjusting, but I don't think that the OP presents the best solution to our collective craving for enhanced RP in prison. 

    Alternative solutions exist!

    Solution: Fun recreational activities, e.g. sports or games or music, that DOC and (well-behaved) inmates could compete in against each other or enjoy together.

    Look at the market place threads for these types of advertisements. This is the one for real estate: https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/forum/20-real-estate/

    Thanks for the quick reply. And yes I'm aware of the real estate forum, the imbalance of [buy] vs [sell] can be seen there, too.

     

    But perhaps more importantly, the RP issue of having so many people driving nice cars, having money, but sleeping in the parking lot together. 
     

    There should seemingly be some sort of basic living apartment available to people. 

  4. Are there any plans to open up more houses / apartments?

    Have driven around searching, tapped connections, weazel news pinged, forum posted and PM'd etc and the consensus seems to be there is just a very low supply of for-sale houses and tons of people want to buy property. 

    Perhaps this is just the snapshot state of the market and the pendulum will swing back, but it is rough to have money and be stuck living out of the parking lot 🙂 

    Suggestion: Auction off more property, open up an apartment building or two, or other solutions welcome
