or have jailtime tick down at a reduced rate while off-line

As a mostly civ player, none of my interactions with LEO are as dramatic as the typical crim, however I've also noticed a serious uptick in PD/SD goading players and taking every opportunity possible to escalate in the past month or two. Not sure if it's just RNG (tiny sample size, after all) but the overall experience has gone from typically fun and RP - heavy (I've ran drag laps with an SD after being pulled over, had another go on video to lie to my wife, etc.) to what is now just dreadful where I can tell the officer is just begging for me to do *something* that can be seen as escalation, and when they see I won't just toss any charge that remotely sticks and go on looking for their next victim. I've also noticed the paragraphs of text some players share in reports; and fact is real life is stranger than fiction and most any behavior seen on an RP server could be explained away as 'realistic'. I'd personally like stricter and clearer rules on LEO interactions, and a stronger emphasis on LEO attitude towards their characters and RP in general.

Looks good!

lots of older vehicles need their gas looked at, hakuchu drag and bifta are the two most notable

You can't reference the real world only when it suits you. Regardless, in most U.S. Agencies (police departments, military, etc.) employees pay for their own uniforms. There are also many departments where the Officer's themselves are responsible for purchasing (and thus own) their own gear. (This isn't even a controversial or rare occurrence; look up some random PD policies/academy charges and you should find this out quickly) Show me a Police department in the US that would swarm the same shit-house ghetto locale for the 3rd shooting that day, day after day, and constantly put its officers in needless risk. Show me a Police department/officer in the US that would roll up into a situation where they are outnumbered? This is an RP server, a break from reality, and the focus should be on balance and fun in lieu of realism. That's why prison sentences are hours and not years. That's why I don't die from malnutrition from eating a diet of 100% tacos and burgers. That's why I have to refuel my car every 5 miles. That's why I can rob the same bank regularly and the bank isn't shut down and/or has no additional measures to enforce security.

Hard to tell which direction the object is in, current implementation is just confusing especially if speeding along and not intimately familiar with the invisible object. Replace the markers with a simple pillar.

Not that I'm privy to all (or even most) ban dates, the time to auction always seems to take a long time, does it not?

LI market is deader than ever; pretty sure it was also paywalled at some point. It's been suggested before but bring back the standard marketplace forum.

Admin/Staff/Report handling is an incredibly difficult job to distribute and apply equally, and overall they do a pretty good job given the guidelines they are given. The issue is that the rulebook is open to interpretation and incomplete, and is not amended due to the results of reports. I've personally been punished after returning from a hiatus for rules that were *not* in the rulebook...how can a player be expected to abide by these? Every single new situation should be added to the rulebook (for example, IC reason for house raid followed by the ten+ examples of valid reasons, and other invalid reasons), and if the reasoning is not present then there is 0 punishment and the rulebook is amended.
