to understand why this was put in place you'd have to be around from before speed caps were a thing, people who had higher FPS, better performing pcs were able to make vehicles faster. People were abusing this by lowering settings get maximum frames making vehicles faster, a 300k rapid GT was able to out run a helicopters and various other vehicles at 400k KM/H per our. The cars arent mean to go this fast in gta 5 there's traffic. For example, you as a criminal got robbed and you tried to chase the person in a car like a rapid gt, there'd be pretty much no chance. However i think its different now with the introduction of toll booths on both main highways so people cant really cotiniously cruise at bugatti veyron speed anymore. Even i found myself buying vehicles that could go these speeds just to keep up.

I mean the whole idea of ALL criminals using the black market to buy drugs and stuff is kinda hollywood, people buy drugs and guns on snapchat now a days, usually through a mutal friend whom they know IRL, the gangs who ACTUALLY use the blackweb supply the streets with the guns and drugs and it cerculates. regular people arent using the black web, they hit their plug up on instagram or snapchat or something. I believe this is already happening on eclipse, if you know have contacts within an official gang then you can get guns and circulate throughout the streets so regular criminals can get them. On lifeinvader, just like instagram and snapchat, it's against the TOS on these social media platforms to sell these kind of stuff, but people do it anyway, they just have to be smart with it, use coded words and hidden locations, if they get caught, then that's on them.

-1 not everything HAS to be realistic, at the end of the day this is a video game.

Just avoid the traffic camera like any person with a stolen vehicle would do IRL

I do understand it is unrealistic on frustrating, but it's not as black and white as you make it seem. When you speed through a speeding camera IRL you don't just get a text immediately informing you you have a fine, it can be quite a while before you receive that fine, during that time you'd have reported your car stolen and you wouldn't have even gotten the ticket in the first place. And talking about realism, have you seen the quality of actual traffic cameras? There's no way it would be possible to accurately identify a person sitting behind a vehicle. Also when driving a stolen car it would make sense you'd purposely take shortcuts to avoid any camera whats so ever. When someone steals your car they dont drive on the main roads they drive on the backroads to be avoid being spotted BY traffic cameras. BASICALLY what im saying is just AVOID the cameras! Drive through vinewood, drive on the dirt road instead of through paleto!!! Don't go to the pier in a stolen vehicle avoid the bank its literally on one of the biggest streets.

I agree, I think this is what people tend to hate to admit when bringing up cop chases, the likely hood that you are escaping in real life is singificantly low compared to here, you have traffic cameras at every intersection live news helicopters, local people calling in and everything. We shouldn't be expecting to easily escape from the police. It is in fact much more difficult to escape from the cops in real life. Cops pulling over known criminals with a more than ordinary amount of force is completley realistic and I believe it would be a measure that IRL cops would do, for example they are pulling over a known felon convicted of assaulting a police officer they will not carry out the traffic stop alone and would likely call back up. The problem is that everyone's view of what is realistic is different based on their own environment IRL.

I agree somewhat. There salary being reset to 0 seems to be a bit of an over kill, working 40 hours just to loose it all to some guy in a warrener would be insanely frustrating. Maybe a small medical fee for dying? or a small amount detucted from your over all salary when you die with certain weapons within your posession?

I agree, I personally don't mind the jail times, for me it comes down to having stuff to do in prison. As a result of nothing being there to do, some people just idle it out, whilst other go on and attempt to start roleplay, this is not always good, as 90% of the time their idea of starting roleplay is by punching someone minding there business to death.

Ah yes, I remember the days, during war, refueling alone gave you an adrenaline rush cus you knew that any moment someone could peak out of the bushes or someone from the opposing gang could pull up, not everyone favored this but I always loved the thrill, like we always have we found ways to live through this and often never refueled alone, because you knew at anytime things could go south. Good days, lovely post as usual Bala AKA MLK for us crims.

Been loving the posts, keep it up! -Tommy

Been a on and off hunter since joining eclipse in 2019, this is likely just an issue with how things work on Rage and would likely remain a side effect of hunting.

Would be good if these worked throughout the city as a matter of fact, this way criminals could RP sending anonymous phone calls to one another using the payphone system to carry out illegal drugs deals/illegal sales over all. Insert a certain amount of cash for a certain amount of minutes to seconds. +1 from me!

Absolutely speechless to the amount of effort you put into this, massive +1 and i hope at least some of this is implemented in the near future.
