Realistically police or districts mostly have to supply there own equipment or get an allowance for equipment. The balance is off but you need both aspects to make the server good. I have to agree there should be a budget added to the force. Being able to do RP to scriptly refill body armor and get new vehicles is a bit strong. Being able to do RP and take a weapon out with no repercussions of losing it is a bit strong. Calling high end bikes, sports cars, and a helicopter for a traffic stop evasion is not realistic, being able to track someone’s phone with out a active investigation or warrant is not realistic. In criminal RP you risk everything at all times, it’s harder to make money (we don’t make 16k an hour) and we have to jump through hoops to get heavy weapons and armor, even getting that there is risk, then we get to the cost as a criminal character to take out let’s say an AK and body armor your looking at a potential over 100k risk just driving down the street you can lose that to a police officer that wants to pull you out of the car for a speeding ticket because you have gang affiliated colors on, there is no risk for a police officer to rush a 2v5 and it makes hero cop mentality’s. Police should have to pay for equipment, it would fix a lot of the issues the server has. After the update making money for criminals is harder unless in a big group. Cooking drugs is a minimum over 1 million investment, you can’t cook in apartments anymore and businesses and properties are extremely expensive, tables have a chance to explode you get raided and you lose everything but the property. Chopping cars is now an investment and you need multiple people, chop locations are easy to find. Freelance work is not good money. You need to work hours to make any substantial amount. We need an update soon! More ways to make money, or a serious revamp in the cost of items, and property’s. Something needs to change!
