What is this?

With Rockstar doing their largest update ever, we have an entire island off the south-east coast to play with. I'm proposing that we incorporate the island into our server, both with modifications to existing systems and also, adding exclusive script additions to the island to add a new element. This is primarily with criminal role-players in mind, although there is stuff for civilians to do there. With it being it's own island it does also open up a different avenue for law enforcement participation as well.

So what could we do?

Hunting

  • On Cayo Perico, there would be several animal spawns. There would be Boars and Deer, as well as rats, pigeons and rabbits. The meat from Boar and Deer would pay out more money, as those animals are specific to the island.
  • In addition, during the night time on Cayo Perico, there would a very small chance of the infamous Perico Panther spawning. Selling this animal would give you a very good pay-out. You should proceed with caution though, as melee assaults on the panther or simply getting too close while it's alive may cause it to attack (scriptly).

Travel

  • Adding in the Island would increase the usefulness of boats, as personal transport between the island and the mainland.
  • This is especially helpful given the improvement in sync in 1.1.
  • In addition to this, you would be able to organise travel (a teleport) from Los Santos International and Sandy Shores Airfield to Cayo Perico's Airfield and back, with flights leaving every half in-game hour (00/30). If you miss your "flight", you'll have hitch a ride in a boat.

Aviation / Piloting / Flying License

  • The idea here would be that there would be certain characters that would be qualified to operate commercial aircraft, under strict operating procedures.
  • These aircraft would be the Velum, Velum 5 Seater, the Maverick and the SuperVolito.
  • They would have to apply and purchase for a Pilot's License, through City Hall and undergo training for use of these aircraft.
    Think a similar process to the gun licensing but with training and such.
  • Similar to all the tow-trucks having CB Radio, each operational pilot be it commercial, MD, PD, SD would have access to the air traffic control radio where they would have to state what area of the map they are currently operating in.
  • They could fly between the Los Santos International Airport, the Sandy Shores Airfield and the Roberto Airfield in Cayo Perico.
  • They would however not be permitted to fly over populated areas of the city or below 1200 ft. This is in part due to people disconnecting mid-flight and also, the emergency service helicopters operate at a lower altitude.
  • They would also lose their license if they knowingly helped criminals evade police, so there would need to be regulations and ID checks and such.

Additional Boats

  • There would be additional boats available from the oceanic dealerships.
  • Jetmax, Tropic, Longfin and Tug.
  • The Tug would be like the Mule of the Sea with a large storage.

Island Vehicles

  • Every character would get a single vehicle slot for an Island vehicle, for free.
  • Cayo Perico would have a rental shop of cheap, select cars that are suitable for travelling on the island and as they are limited to the island, they would have twice the fuel capacity of regular LS vehicles.
  • You can return your rental vehicle to the rental place for your deposit back. If you do not return the vehicle or it gets broken, you lose your deposit.

Island Chop Shop

  • With the increase in the use of boats, there would be the facility to be able to steal a boat and chop it for $$$.

Island Drug Labs

  • There would be two drug labs scripted on the island for use, that allow the character to create Cocaine, Ecstacy and Mephedrone.
  • All the items needed to create the drugs would be provided on the island, similar to how the drug labs worked.
  • They would be sellable to the NPCs by anyone in the city for $$$.

Freelance Sailing Job

  • With a new purpose for boats, you would be also able to use boats to deliver fictional cargo from Los Santos Docks to various different seaside locations, not just Cayo Perico but also, other locations in Los Santos such as Paleto, Catfish etc..  for $$$.
  • You would be able to buy your own boat out-right or rent a boat for a fee.
  • When you take a new delivery, you can specify the distance and the legality of the cargo. The longer distance a job is and the more illegal, the more money but each delivery will require a certain type of boat.

Criminal Faction Import

  • There would also be additional faction drop locations added to Cayo Perico Island.

Freelance Tropical Fish Catching

  • If you fish on the shoreline of Cayo Perico, you might end up with a regular fish normally found in Los Santos or you might end up with a Tropical Fish.
  • These fish are slightly heavier than their Los Santos cousins, but they will pay out more when selling them off.

Freelance Shrimping Job

  • The state of San Andreas (north/south/east/west and the Island of Cayo Perico is surrounded by water and in those waters, located at sea are troupes of Shrimp.
  • If you use a boat in these areas surrounding the islands, you can fill your boat up with shrimp and sell those off.

Law Enforcement Involvement

  • There is no Police Station on the island and it is off-shore. The island is very much out of sight.
  • That being said, with the criminal attention the island might have along with the shipping and the drops, there might be some room there for law enforcement to run some boat patrols. 
  • As it is not Los Santos or Blaine County, there could perhaps be the opportunity for there to be a shared jurisdiction here as it's technically, international waters.

Communications

  • As the island is isolated, you could only use your radio or phone in certain areas of the island, where it would make sense to do so so like the areas like the Airfield, the Compound etc.. due to the poor signals.
  • This would add a new element of danger when using the island as you wouldn't have accessible backup at the flip of a switch.

Freelance Coca Plant Picking

  • There is a giant field on Cayo Perico of coca plants.
  • The idea here would be that coca plants would grow in the fields and you'd have to pick them.
  • Plant growth could be sped up by adding water and fertiliser, which are available on the farm.
  • Once you couldn't carry anymore, you'd take them to the NPC in the field and sell them for profit.

Passive Roleplay

  • In addition to the nefarious uses for the island, there are some nice areas for wedding roleplay, as well as romantic getaways and picturesque places for screenshots for fashion.

Food, Drink and Entertainment

  • Similar to the painkiller system at MD, players would be able to buy exclusive food and drink at the Cayo Perico tiki bar to replenish their health.
    This would create a social hub around the bar.
  • Like the toll booth system in Paleto, a player would be able to take over as the bar's DJ and use the bar's speaker systems to play music through (when the speakers work).
  • The bar area itself would be an NCZ, but the rest of the island would not.

In conclusion

Obviously there is quite a lot in this suggestion and people will have different view-points on it. I just feel that we've been given this extra location to use and we should milk it for all it's got.
The way I see this, it's not for law enforcement really. It's for both established criminals and low-life criminals looking to get their foot in the door.

Back in the SAMP days on a RP server I played on. There was a part of the map, Terra Robada that was a seperate nation. Had it's own government, laws, police, army. Could do that with the new islands, totally different country than LS
