  1. Hello, Short and simple one here. Faction Fleet Logs (At least for GOV Factions) are basically worthless in their current form. You cannot find results easily, nor can you find them for what should be an entire days worth of logs. What I'm suggesting, is to allow the storage of up to 24 hours of Fleet Logs, regardless of however many logs are entered. This would allow more RP for faction supervisors to properly manage our fleets. Secondly, Add a Search function to the Fleet Logs. This would make it so that you don't need to manually scrub through 24 hours of Fleet Logs just to find out one specific piece of information you're looking for, saving you valuable time and effort! This has been my TED talk, thank you.

  2. Quid Pro Quo - If you want Cops to RP, Criminals must RP in turn. It's tiring when you're expected to RP all the time, and 90% of what you get equates to /me spits on officer, /me resists, or /me kicks officer in balls. The middle one there is actually the most common of which, which as you don't address, is non-RP itself. Using Dice to RP your character is a lazy cop out. You should realistically know the limitations and abilities of your character in relation to a trained Law Enforcement Officer. It works in Dungeons and Dragons because you're playing fantasy characters where modifiers exist to balance and create that niche for your character to prevent you from being a superhuman. This is the whole reason for the Minigame. If you're typing when it comes out, you're likely to miss it. This actually DOES create for more fluid RP because it doesn't require someone to look away from the action, read their chatbox, react and think as to what they'd do, and type their reaction, all before the person who's RPing, powergames and doesn't give the LEO a realistic chance to react. I would implore you to make an LEO character, just to see how things ACTUALLY work, because while yes, making a suggestion is your right, we should all strive to make personally informed suggestions that would aim to improve things, not take us back to the days of /me resists
  3. Careful, You might get replied to with a clown gif for this one! /s I'm of the same mind of NotKempi, and by extension, the Original Post. These are not Quality of Life improvements, they are quality of life retractions. People were finally used to the U menu, and that was scrapped in favor of phone and expanded context menu. What if we moved the game settings and skill levels to the Context Menu. That'd be a good compromise I think. @Bala20 years in the Can I compromised....
  4. But we gave Impounds the same treatment. I think the mechanic shop at the Airport should work the same way as the Impound Lots but on a longer timer. If you don't get a Mechanic down to the Airport within 15 Minutes, You can Auto-Repair your Aircraft. Because as Auxlift said, There are few RP authorized individuals to work on Aircraft, and hedging a bet on one of them being online when you need a helicopter repaired is not realistic until this becomes more common place. This allows the compromise of there being RP should a mechanic be available, but will also allow for gameplay to continue if the hurdle of having one of the few aircraft certified mechanics is too high.
  5. Founded in late April, 2026, The Solution aims to be just that. An end to an issue. Silent, Clean, Professional, Efficient. All words that The Solution aim to embody, both through their work, and their morals. After all, a mess is another problem to solve, what's the point of solving problems if you're going to create more The Solution aims to be the premier go-to organization who can help with any matter of issue. Need a judge removed at a moments notice? Done. Planning to rob a bank but you don't have any competent drivers available? Enjoy our reliable rides while you deal with the Dye packs in the back seat. Need mediation where neutrality can be guaranteed? A meeting space can be agreed upon easily. Though The Solution has no plans to have a concrete location, A favored area of operations is Chumash,, starting from Route 68, all the way down towards Bay City Incline. This is due to the multiple differing avenues of egress if the situation calls for it. As The Solution intends to primarily contract their work They are open to nearly all avenues of criminal activity, though the one thing The Solution will not do, is lay gunfire against Law Enforcement, that is unless of course, the price is high enough to justify the aftermath that follows them. All members of The Solution are NEVER to publicly acknowledge the name of the organization or that they are a part of it. A key factor in being a member of The Solution is possessing the ability to lie. Behind closed doors though, You may only ever identify yourself to a client, nothing more. Lore Stemming from years of working alongside Criminal organizations, and from attempting to bring order to what was otherwise Chaos, Frank Haswell had come out of retirement. Intent on trying on final time to engage in a line of work he never commonly saw: Contracts He laid the framework for what was to come. A small organization whose members can all intimately trust one another without question. These folks are split further into one of 3 groups: Drivers Individuals within the organization whose main proficiency is driving and evading from unwanted heat. Be it Law Enforcement, or Gangs Procurement & Distribution Individuals who are keenly skilled at acquiring goods, people, or any other thing one could want. Additionally, these people are adept at selling to the highest bidder, for many the same items procured. Eliminators Those who are skilled are satisfying contracts in regards to the taking of another life. Eliminators get their hands the dirtiest, but are the most likely to be well equipped by the organization, specifically so they can fulfill their role And lastly, to oversee those who are within The Solution, you have: Governing Committee Jacks of all trades so to speak, The Governing Committee rules on policy changes, jobs to accept, scheduling, and approving members who wish to join. That being said, they're also the ones who ensure that those who are to be removed from The Solution, don't take any information with them. One may imagine how that is achieved and would likely be correct. From within these 4 Groups, Members of the Solution may be given more responsibility depending on their tenure and performance whilst a member of the Organization, however, not every job is meant for the newest, or inversely, the most experienced. There will be ways to differentiate ones tenure and skill if you're a member of The Solution, but none outside of the organization will be privy to that information. Goals It is the goal of The Solution to become a leading force in actions taken that have no determinable trails. However, more noticeable goals will include: 1. Achieving Independence from those who would seek to influence our actions by being able to function without them 2. Own Legitimate businesses where we're able to clean our cash flow through. 3. Create a space where opposing gangs can meet without fear of ambush or intervention from third party elements. 4. Influence State policy throuh individuals posing as Legal members of society, whilst still contributing to The Solution's contracts Modus Operandi As an organization that doesn't seek to stand out, quite the opposite in fact, Vehicle choices are up to the discretion of the individual member, However, those within the Governing Committee are expected to drive classy vehicles. Vehicles such as the Deity, Paragon (S or R), Any of the Schafter Models, Cavalcades, or other similar Luxury vehicles. As for weaponry, Some jobs may require longer range engagements, some may require closer range. All the same though, one thing that remains constant, will be our mandatory use of Suppressors. Drawing attention to oneself is never a desired outcome, and Suppressors do a fine job in assisting with that. There is however, a single exception: Revolvers Reliability when another of your weapons fails trumps attention. Heat cools off, what doesn't, is reputation. For that reason, The preferred armaments of The Solution are as follows: Melee Weapons: Brass Knuckles or Knives Sidearms: Any kind of Revolver SMG : Micro SMG or Combat PDW Long Guns: Assault Rifles, and when the situation presents itself where their use is advantageous, Marksman Rifles (( OOC Rules )) Members of the Solution must not have a PVP mindset. Things such as Clapping, Rolling Labs, or Mid-City Gunfights are not the aim of a faction who wishes to remain unknown to the legal public. Absolutely no Toxicity. If you're going to say something in OOC chat, re-think it's tone before sending it. Strive to uphold an excellent standard of Roleplay. If you feel like the other person you're roleplaying with isn't to your standard, don't degrade your own RP in turn. If inter-faction OOC Drama happens, inform the faction leader before it spirals out of control so that it may be resolved peacefully

  6. I wholeheartedly agree with Pazz. The cycle is Hype the community up for an update. Hype dies. String em along with teasers to maintain player retention, drop the update (Usually Late) and then abandon the feature, causing burnout and lack of faith in the dev team. Either fix the shit you release (kindly) or stop milking us to pay for your Avocado toast. Real life situations hit, but when this is a consistent excuse for features being late, you get a boy who cried wolf situation. Your pay pigs WILL eventually get tired as well, Or they'll just ask you to give them a bulldozer in exchange for 100 Euros.... That's probably more realistic.
  7. peak rage bait. Well done my friend.

  9. I say they should do it just to spite you at this point
  10. I'm not sure how you equate your guns from over a year ago that you personally don't give a damn for, and that are bugged if you haven't had to repair them, to that of a player who is constantly playing, losing guns, and who's actively participating to the criminal environment who has a personal time investment that they have to grind up for each time to get new ones. You do a 50 cook, you get 1 kit, but that feedback cycle is vicious because in order to safely do a 50 cook, you need to have guns. In order to have guns, you need to have money, in order to get money, you need to do crime, in order to safely do crime, you need guns. See where this goes? I took a a 5 - 6 month break from ECRP, (November 2024 to April 2025). In that time, the decay feature was added and all the guns I had stashed went to red and needed repairing. So either you're spreading misinformation, or it's a bug that's benefited you. Your change discourages about 25% of the point of Criminality. Let's play this by the numbers with something that's commonplace, and not a "Well they should...." Because that's not the reality we live in. A large chunk of being a Criminal involves Guns - Buying, Selling, and Using them. Use Gun for robbing Bank Use Gun for robbing Store Use gun to defend yourself Use gun as income (selling guns!) Use gun to rob others! There's a SINGLE criminal activity that does not have the use of guns deeply entrenched in it's execution, and that's house robberies. Now, let's add BBEG (Big Bad Evil Gang!) into the equation. They're a big gang with people who primarly PVP and don't want to be friends with anybody! They do all of the other activities as a side hustle, but while doing so, they're more kitted up than SWAT are! You want to be able to have at least a chance of retaining your stuff, So you arm up! and let's say, you manage to beat back BBEG but you had to be brought to Pillbox. Your reward? You get to keep your other stuff you were defending, but you effectively lose the things you were using. And thus, that cycle from before begins playing out again where you need to buy a kit, and to recoup the cost of the kit, you need to cook, and you get pushed, so you need to defend, and while defending you get hurt and etc etc. This is a very real reality for MAJORITY of the criminal playerbase, I mean no disrespect when I say this dude, but you're disconnected from the Criminal side of ECRP, especially when you make a suggestion like this without viewing first hand (not second hand as a response to criminals being criminals as PD often are) the current criminal climate. I implore you, restart Black Mafia or join a gang again, Go through the cycles in a more recent light, then re-evaluate these kinds of suggestions People will ALWAYS clown on you because of who you are on this server, but at least they won't be clowning on you because you made a tone deaf suggestion without more recently experiencing the side of the server you wish to influence. This statement itself is evidence enough of how tone-deaf you are and only serves to highlight the possibility of you rage-baiting. Cops don't pay for their guns and thus don't have time invested in their characters in that manner. That's not to say LEO players don't invest time into their characters ( I myself am an LEO player as well, My XP on both characters is roughly even) but it's a different kind of investment that isn't so easily lost by the actions of another player, which is why the possibility of losing something even though you haven't done anything to lose it is a bad suggestion.
  11. I don't agree with this. Guns already decay during the course of a shootout enough, What you're doing is punishing players for not being good at the game and being able to survive their brush with death, be it by arrest or rescue by allies. On a server where it's already a blow to die with guns on you, why make surviving also a blow?
  12. I agree with this post. Never Forget Jan 13th 2024
  13. Thank you Carter, very cool. Section 1.5 especially very applicable!
  14. This reeks of Pay to Win Mentality. Now because you have to invest IC time and money into your vehicles, you're angry? Even though the previous IC cost was given back to you to reinvest into your vehicle? If you don't want to deal with the bill of 20 cars, Simply don't. Nobody is forcing you to upgrade your cars. Upgrade the one or two you use the most and go on with things, Unless you mean to tell me you actively use all 20 vehicles every day plus the other cars you might have bought using IC cash....
  15. Credit Apartments, Slots, Skins, Animation sets. The Credit store is your oyster my friend
