Lab rotation change.

[Hubie]

              Hello, I firstly want to say this is NOT a Crim v Cop thread nor a Crim v Crim thread. This is just my honest opinion on the current system. I think there should be a few minor tweaks to how it works.

- Currently, 5 labs are open at a time, if PD raid the lab, it will most likely get shut, and a new one opens overtime (roughly 12 hours). 

- I think this system should be slightly changed. I think 5 labs should open and shut after a certain amount of time. (3 days for example.) Could even reduce the time for a new one to open.

- I think the command used to shut labs should be removed from PD/SD as well. (Unless the time would get shortened for a new one to open)

- Labs get beat so often and there is rarely more than 1 good one open at a time. Once the good one closes you then must wait HOURS for a new one to open. 

- Now for people who play at different time zones. If an EU gang gets a lab shut down later in the day, by the time an NA player gets on, a new lab still would not be open.

- I honestly don't know the best solution; but something needs to change.

Nice suggestion Hubie - after some time has passed, although I do like some of the lab locations, I do prefer the old labs that were always open.

I mean the biggest issue is, a certain gang (we all know who) are getting them shutdown the day they open and they do it so consistently it's almost like it's in their lore as a gang to do so. 

Would be a good idea to just instantly open a new one when one gets shut down.

+1 I also think there should be more then 5 labs open at once. There are so many labs that are not even worth cooking at and when there is only 5 open at time and most of the time there are only 2 even worth cooking. I think labs should have a tier system or something to only allow a certain amount of good/bad labs open at once or just increasing the amount open.

+1 - sadly ive made 4 different lab threads and none of them go anywhere - even made a tier suggestion that would allow 2 of the best labs to always be open for the larger gangs to fight over

I think the time before a new lab opens should just be significantly shortened. Would be the easiest first thing to try.

 

(as someone who is probably a 60% LEO to 40% crim player I think maybe it should just be an hour then the next lab opens if not less)
