So a normal, realistic response? I have been back on the server this side of 2 months. responded to dozens of bank robbery calls and do you want to know how many still had the robbers there when we arrived? 2. A majority of the time those alarms trip and the robbers immediately leave. Those 2 times we arrived and the robbers were actually there? They got away 1 of those 2 times. Now knowing this, a standard, realistic response to a robbery would be all available units would respond. What happens if there isn't a helicopter available? What then. Do we switch to another contingency? How many of these plans do we need to memorize? Do I need another one if we find a dozen bikes outside? What if its a single clown car? You cannot expect people here to memorize dozens of contingencies to a situation when this isn't their job, nor are they getting paid for it. The policies in place to combat unrealistic RP I feel are sufficient enough. Yes this is a game, and some people treat it as such. But you cannot expect to play this as a game and have other have to treat it like a job. For every 3 hours I patrol I have to spend an hour writing up fake paperwork. While yes, I don't have to, I want to get that promotion quickly. I already spend 10-12 hours a day working my real job and attending college full time. You cannot expect those of us with a life and kids to spend more hours in a game learning dozens of contingencies plans for each situation, spending hours practicing those contingencies, then sitting around when we see a 911 call about a bank robbery because we are unsure whether or not a helicopter is available to check out the area, or whether there are already 3 units on scene. Or even being the first unit scouting out the bank to inform dispatch if its real or not, just to get blasted by 7 dudes rocking AKs. Proportional response only works in real life, where people ACTUALLY care about their lives, not fear of retribution through an admin punishment.

So, this is mainly a question for myself but I guess I can ask for everyone. Properties Marked by admins. Who do we talk to about buying them? Inquiring about them? What if I have an idea for a property, but I don't want to advertise that idea to the world, since it requires some Dev team help for it. Where do we even begin inquiring about any of these?

Working on figuring out the next steps for this!

Just a heads up for everyone, I am going to be redoing the visuals for this, as I have learned a few things since I made them originally. If anyone has suggestions or ideas I would love to hear them!

If the fuel efficiency is taken away I personally would see no reason to get VIP other than to support the server. I probably would no longer use VIP as its the main reason I have it for. Not sure how everyone else feels about it but I can't be alone.

open RAGEMP, go to settings and ensure you have your razer siren set as your default device. Also go to your sound settings and ensure you have your Razer set as your default mic. Disable ALL OTHER recording devices.

We're Back! Its time to take this business into overdrive!

+1. I am always down for clarification of rules.

Mechanics have the ability to utilize flatbed in the performance of their duties. However at this time the flatbed does not work as intended. I am under the impression it's being worked on although I could be wrong.

Im suggesting a normal wooden door. Not blastproof/metal doors. That is what breaching charges are for.

They did it improperly. Google a Masterkey sometime. That combined with some breaching rounds will punch right through. Unless you mean something like padlock, in which case a simple boot will pop it open.

I'm not even going to start in on this. However statistically we end up calling off a pursuit more than we are able to finish a pursuit. Especially if we do not have a helicopter. Yes the boosted crown vic can go 200km/h+. However that is only in a straight line. Take a slight left turn? Good luck see you at Pillbox. Over the last 2 weeks I responded to 39 chases. Of those we only managed to successfully capture 11 individuals. Of those 11 individuals only 3 were in sports/supers and all 3 of those were covered by a Police Helicopter and ran out of fuel. An example from last night. We were chasing a Drag down the highway. We barely had visual and were about to call it when the driver of said drag took a hard right to go off-road. Up a nearly 80 degree slope which none of us could follow. I'm not understanding how this cannot be classed as Non-RP when you see Jeeps rarely make it up cliffs like that. As stated before I would happily not follow a vehicle off-road, for fear of breaking Non-RP. However, the current state of the server requires that I at least make the attempt as an overwhelming majority of pursuits end up going off-road.

+1 from me and tbh I absolutely would be happy not to follow a vehicle off road. My first few chases that led offroad I broke off and followed the road because I thought it WAS non rp to drive the crown Victoria offroad. I dont speak for everyone but I would love this rule for the simple fact or realism. I'll take my truck off road because that's what it's for, but my wife car? Fuck no

+1. Make a huge Marine Update to include several suggestions mentioned in the last few weeks, Fishing, criminal activities, Maritime divisions. We need it all!

@Higgan0 the above should get it fixed. Also run streamlabs as admin

Give me a few minutes and I will tell you what I did. EDIT: So I have Streamlabs OBS set to Game capture. It took me awhile to finally get it right but you'll need to follow this. Click the + symbol on sources. Select Game Capture as your source. Select the bar at the bottom to create a new source. Game Capture. Mode = Capture specific Window Window = [GTA5.exe] RAGE Multiplayer. Window Match = Match Title, otherwise find same executable. Checkmark "Capture Cursor" and "Use anticheat compatibility hook" Ensure you have RAGEMP loading into the server to set the right .exe and ensure your game is in windowed. Not fullscreen, not borderless. It needs to be in windowed.

+1 love all this. However theres already an Impound in Paleto. Maybe Sandy?

Lol. Thats why I suggested both, either an LSPD maritime division or for more accuracy, the Coast Gurad

With the re-release of boats and the introduction of Islands, I would like to table a suggestion. *Drum Roll* The addition of offshore crime. Hear me out. As an example of a way to conduct this, Illegal Turtle Fishing. You can go to certain areas of the sea in order to hunt turtles to sell inland. Then it would need to be transported by vehicle somewhere on the map to be sold, maybe multiple moving areas kind of like drug labs. I feel it would start to spread out, and diversify, the amount of crime that is committed on the server at any given moment, as well as adding a new aspect, without being too overbearing or overpowered. Naturally this would lead to needing an LE force for the sea. Enter in! *Drum Roll* The Coast Guard. It wouldn't need to be massive. But the addition of a Coast Guard faction, or even a maritime division of LSPD would enable people who wish to get off land a way to enforce and patrol the ocean. The ability to conduct water safety inspections and drug/turtle interdiction would add a new element of RP to the server and allow us to use even more of the map.

To add on to this, the addition of maybe a used car sales lot at certain locations around the city. Business can be run and the building can store X amount of vehicles. They can bring the vehicles out for prospective clients and even purchase vehicles from people to add to their current stock. I can elaborate more but just something I thought of, spur of the moment.

+1

+1. +1 for excellent breakdown as well. Most people are like. Insert this now!. Love the explanation.

+1. Being able to change a charge to lessen the time for good RP would be amazing.

Thanks for the clarification. In this case I can see it working but would need an addition to the IC and OOC rules on it.

"Stimuli that 100% of residents experience". I believe it has to do with Stimuli, not the disorder that affects 100%
