Requiem

I like the concept of this, but as an RP server, it adds nothing for RP opportunities between players. There should be some tie in for RP opportunities other than just trading the crypto for this to make sense.

This is already an existing suggestion

While giving crims more things to do is great, -1 on this one. No one would ever use vending machines if they could just get robbed, making them dead content.

Probably for balance and roleplay purposes. This is an RP server, not Need for Speed. -1 to making vehicles faster than they already are.

+1 Giving more RP capabilities for medical RP sounds great.

There is already a clothing update almost finished that will add a bunch of new clothes and customization options for characters!

+1 There are some dealerships in particular where half the vehicle can't be seen and you can't properly move the camera. Would be a nice QOL update to fix this.

+/- 1 While I like the suggestion if it were used properly, half the time the roadworkers don't seem to care about the RP of the situation and they are just there to grind for cash. They just park their vehicles in the middle of the road and run to setup as many barricades as possible. If it were used properly, this would be a +1 from me.

Agreed with Ash. This isn't worth dev time and honestly, with as buggy and terrible as the islands have been, they should just be removed from even having construction done on them to begin with at this point.

+1 Seems like an easy and reasonable request.

Afaik, GTA 5, and any other game, doesn't have the capability to modify the sound level of only specific outputs for voip like this. Its just simply overall voip volume. I don't think your request is, or will ever be, possible unfortunately. I would agree if it was possible, and it would be a nice feature.

Nice thought, but this wouldn't work because every time any LEO gives a crim anything but the minimum time, there will be complaints, regardless of RP quality.

Really cool idea and good effort on the presentation. Overall, I would still say -1 I think. As cool as it is, I would rather see dev time focused on other things and there are better RP opps that could be put into the server.

I personally never see this happen. The only time PD is allowed to take tires is when the person being chased is running people over, shooting at them, or leading cops into ambushes to be shot. Even then, shooting is only authorized if a supervisor gives permission to do so. If someone is shooting for no reason, it would be a breach of IC and OOC rules. IC, its a breach of dept policy and they should be IA reported. OOC, it would potentially be a breach of DM rights. A high speed vehicle is only allowed to be deployed if the person being chased is using a high speed vehicle. We have a specific list of vehicles that high speed is allowed to be deployed for, and if its not on that list, LEOs can't use it. Also, high speed car is limited to only one per chase. Bike is limited to only 2. And usually, if we are in a joint chase with SD for example in the city, PD will not deploy high speed vehicles if SD already has them out in use. (Both due to protocol and for fairness) Also, a high speed car is to be used on a car chase. Bikes are not supposed to be used on a car chase for the safety of the officers ICly and per dept policy.

Agreed with all the suggestions above. 1) Give coroners an app on the phone, so people know it exists, just like DCC for example. 2) Give LSEMS the capability to do the coroners job ONLY when no coroners are on duty. This would work similar to the current /stabalize command for LEOs. When no MD are on shift, LEOs are allowed to use the /stabalize command with the script. Just do the same for coroner commands in the script after the system has checked to see if any coroners are on duty. 3) Spawn random bodies for coroners to pickup, preferably at the incident job sites so it makes more sense!

No disrespect, but this sounds like a skill issue. You would be suprised to see the number of chases PD loses and how many get away. Some days, PD catches less than half of the people that evade easily. If you haven't been able to evade a single time, then you are either need some practice driving, or need to change up your tactics. As far as your comment on the traffic stops, I can assure you that the majority of the traffic stops PD does are without backup. The primary reason you probably never have a traffic stop without backup showing up is because you evade constantly or are gang affiliated. Most officers call for backup for a reason, not just arbitrarily. More often than not, that reason is because the person is either dangerous, or 9 times out of 10, they evade from us, and we know it.

To start, sounds like the proper job to some extent is being done based on this statement. Crims SHOULD try to avoid cops and be worried about getting arrested. Would be unrealistic if they weren't. For your prison time recommendation: As stated above by Bala, it doesn't matter how much time you have in prison, its probably gonna be a shit experience. Changing the time isnt gonna help that. Need to attack this at the root cause of the issue, which the staff team/devs have admitted is an issue and have agreed to make changes and renovate the prison at some point. Chargestacking: There are already rules against this for LEO's. Both IC via the Penal code and internal policies, and OOC via server rules, and again faction policies. There are certain charges we are allowed to add multiple times ONLY if its what actually happened. But as Jett said above, LEOs are never allowed to just add charges for no reason. But we have the court system for that now. Also IA for PD can be used IC and OOC if any specific officer is doing anything corrupt such as this. As for helicopter patrols: I have 150+ hours as a pilot for PD and I can safely say that no one flys over labs and calls out people there for no reason. We have rules in place, for both ground units and air units, that we are not allowed to camp labs or go to them for no reason. LEOs are only allowed to go to labs if we have a reason to, such as a 911 call was placed for that location or we hear gunshots coming from there, or chase someone into one. After the situation concludes, LEOs are required to ICly "forget" the location is a lab until our next encounter with it as well. TL;DR - pretty much everything you mentioned already is enforced and has rules around it.

+1 I agree with some of the other comments that there are larger issues affecting crims on the server that need to be resolved, but as can be seen over the last year or two, those issues clearly won't be resolved immediately. In the mean time, ICA's (bandaids) need to be used to correct the problems, this being a good start while the PCA is established eventually.

Replace buffalo with Buffalo STX....easy. Buffalo is garbage and the STX makes more RP sense, and its bullet proof, which makes more sense for Metro SWAT to have.

-1 While the idea is neat, I don't think this adds anything of real value to the server and there is a massive list of other things I would much rather the devs focus on before something like this.

+1

-1 we don't need anymore bulletproof vehicles in the server. While it would promote good RP for the design and mechanic work, it would promote very poor RP for shootouts and situations involving the bulletproof vehicles in use. There is already an open suggestion/discussion on it, but I think the current bulletproof vehicles (buffalo STX and patriot milspec) should not be allowed in civilian hands as it is. It makes no realistic sense.

I can give my input as a member of LSPD. For part 1: I think everything the SD members here have added is sufficient. Script wise on this server, LEO's have very few proper investigative tools to use to actually investigate a situation properly and follow up on it. I would be more willing/inclined to agree with your suggestion if LEO's had the capability to talk with witnesses, get more video footage, get more fingerprints off of items, etc. As it stands, the best anyone can do currently is use the limited CCTV footage available and do /me & /do investigative RP with the criminal. While I think it would be great to RP the streets and highways as populated, no one in the server actually does if we are all honest about it. And it would be unrealistic in the current server state to try and force anyone to act otherwise. For Part 2: I both agree and disagree with you. Again, my SD colleagues are correct and the policies for PD are similar if not the same. I think everyone should put more effort into RPing their injuries better following a crash. I can't speak for everyone else, but I personally RP injuries in a bad crash or vehicle flip, and I just did this yesterday actually, where I was randomly driving down the road while on patrol and another vehicle struck my police cruiser with my K9 unit inside and I RP'd injures and called MD and had them come look me over and treat my wounds and even did some RP injuries for my dog that was inside and performed treatment on the dog also. I think both criminals and LEO's should be held to a better standard of RP when it comes to crashes and should RP injuries properly. As for the cruiser itself, if a cruiser flips, most often the occupants are stuck having to wait until the pursuit is done most often to get a ride back somewhere. I think it would be nice to see everyone drive a bit more realistically, but I don't think the state of the server is going to change in that regard sadly. As for your comment on the kevlar, officer's should never just use faction loadout by a cruiser unless those items would ICly be in the cruiser. So if the officer did some RP and actually was able to take extra kevlar from the police precinct and did the RP of putting it in their cruiser, they would be able to change it out, but should do all the RP of doing so and only be able to change it if they had the extra with them. The same goes for weapons and other equipment. All officers are required to get their faction items from the precinct armory and bring it with them and cannot just go to the cruiser and pull random stuff from thin air. If they are do this, it would be a breach of faction rules and likely server rules for NRP. Additionally, they should RP changing the kevlar properly, such as RP taking off the old and putting on the new and doing it at a time that makes sense. They should not do this mid gunfight or from the drivers seat for example. They should properly go to the trunk of the vehicle if that's where they have it stored and RP appropriately.

I like the ideas a lot but the monetary impact on crims would make things worse in many regards. We also have an issue in the current economy where there are some players who have millions in the bank and would continue to use expensive vehicles for petty crime regardless, and others with no money in the bank that this would negatively impact too severely. I agree that it would be great if there was something in place for LEOs to not have to feel pressured to win the pursuit as you say, but currently, if someone successfully evades, there are no real investigation capabilities in place to prove who actually evaded, so they just get away for free. I would love to have pursuits that were more realistic where it was a viable option for LEOs to drop the pursuit for safety reasons with a viable investigation option after, or for everyone to driver more realistically. On a side note, while the scout is flexible due to its handling and on-road/off-road driving capability, its speed is booty. Any meta crim vehicle easily out paces it and it quickly becomes worthless in most pursuits.
