Buff ALL cars.

[Cyrus Raven]

This suggestion was thought up while reading the bellow thread which is now locked. 

I ask that anyone participating in this thread avoid insults as the other did, especially considering it is an entirely different yet related suggestion!

Essentially, my idea is to increase the general speed limit of almost every vehicle, specifically newer vehicles and sports vehicles that would realistically be able to achieve higher speeds than 200km/h. 

My reasoning behind this suggestion is to focus less on (not take away) the influence of the money spent on a vehicle and FPS, making it so that what dictates whether someone escapes from an enemy is largely based on driving skill and not whether someone has a better PC and FPS or a more expensive car. I shouldn't be passing most super cars I meet on the highway with my slamvan. However, this change should also realistically give an advantage to anyone who owns a super or a expensive sports car. 

What I imagine is cops winning a situation based on their driving skill and not on an exclusive buff. Same goes for criminals, I want to see more tactics from PD/SD to stop you guys, I think this can be a real option if they have vehicles that go at decent speeds (unfortunately this probably has to be higher than IRL speeds, but not enough to win every situation, due to the fact that most people on the server own sports cars and a good number of criminals own supers.). Keeping up should be the goal and then actually catching criminals should be based on tactics and very good driving. 

This also means that the use of personal vehicles or drags would no longer be needed. You would have the crown vic which is a mix of handling and top speed for every day use, you would have the buffalo which would have lower top speed but better handling and breaking (for inner city chases), you would have the interceptor which is specifically used by TED to combat super cars and higher end sports cars, and finally you would have the police bike, which should be modified to have good acceleration and decent top speed (making it harder to control at higher speeds).


How would this be achieved, well it would probably be done with developer support. 

In conclusion:
 

• Increase overall speed limit for most vehicles (specifically supers and sports cars)
• A higher speed for all vehicles makes crashing a lot more likely and shifts the focus on being a good driver and not just simply owning a expensive vehicle.
• Supers should be slightly faster than most sports cars, whether PD/SD/GOV make an IC adjustment to combat crims using this is up to them.
• Hopefully gets rid of the FPS game engine bug. This is obviously unintended by rockstar, but probably hard/impossible to fix in current state.
• Might open up possibilities in the future for having tuner vehicles, essentially meaning that any car if replaced with a good engine etc... can have a high-speed (but that's even assuming this suggestion gets accepted

 

This is straight off the top of my head, let me know if you have stuff to add or any constructive critiques. If you disagree and like how it works right now that's fine too.

Should be the case. I am not entirely sure if the FPS issue scales up if cars get a buff (so if the base speed for comet is 220 and people with good FPS can go 300, will the buff make it so the base speed is 300 and people with good FPS go 380 or will it mean that everyone, including those with good FPS, are capped at 300). It all depends on this. 

If it turns out that higher FPS will still give people unfair advantages then a speed cap might have to be put in place.
