Server Name:
All servers (server 1 extra ideas)
Suggestion Title:
Police update (Creating More Reasons To Be Cop) and giving police more options to role-play.
Giving the prison guard more abilities because as of currently the prison guard has the exact same gear as normal police making a prison guard rather pointless right as now.
How would it benefit the server:
As this is a role-play server (Although we don't feel as it it much) it still is. I think that by adding more options to role-play will make the current (and new comers) to the server stay longer as the job Police will become more immersive allowing people to role-play and enjoy being Police rather than just a massive wave of cops when a nuke appears.
Potential Issues/Exploits:
-People may create an f1 saying they saw someone as a cop participating in criminal activities but this can be solved by the staff member checking the logs to see what actual job they are.
(If you can think of any other issues let me know and i will update this thread)
-Swat leader can place the shield down to prop block.
-Prison guard could impound random cars. (this can be dealt with by putting a rule to disallow this and staff can take car of it)
Additional notes:
PRISON GUARD
-The 'Prison Guard' will have either another item in their inventory (Like handcuffs) that will allow them to cuff arrested prisoners and take them to the interrogation room. This will work by giving the prisoner the ability to cooperate and the prisoner will be released (if the prison guard has found the information given by the prisoner useful) and the next time they get sent to prison their sentence time will be reduced from 120 seconds to 80 seconds as a thanks.
-The prison guard could also be able to impound cars. This could be for cars that police see being attempted broken into or people who are wanted and it is there car. Although the prison guard won't be able to go out to look for them they will be able to take cars that other police have gathered and then impound them (place a 'lock' on them) and the lock can only be taken of from the prison guard or be pick-locked. The impounded car can have a fee ( EG. 5k). Once impounded the owner will not be able to spawn any cars in again until it is taken out of the impound. (This will take away the factor of people ordering their car in again once already taken from the police which has happened to me a lot before i was staff)
CROOKED POLICE
-Their will also be 2 new options of jobs (Just like you get to choose the skin of the gangster job) you will be able to choose between 'Crooked Prison Guard' and 'Crooked Police'. These will be able to either release prisoners as they wish without reason or even participate in criminal activity. However there will only be one open slot per job. If a normal police sees this happening they can be arrested (once this happens they will be 'fired' and their job will be set to citizen. (Im not sure if this will be able to code so this flows naturally)
-THE 'CROOKED POLICE' WON'T APPEAR IN THE TAB MENU INSTEAD IT WILL JUST APPEAR WITH THE OTHER JOB THEY ARE SO 'CROOKED PRISON GUARD' WILL APPEAR AS 'PRISON GUARD'
-The Prison on Server 1 will also gain another room which would be a 'gas chamber' and this will add role-play as if the death penalty exists in Zarp. This will be implemented in Zarp if a criminal gets arrested with a fine above $50,000 and they will get a choice to either pay the fine or get sent to the 'chamber'. This will be done by them 'spawning' in a different 'cell' and the gas will be released either once the prison guard presses a button or after 30 seconds the gas will be released automatically. This will give a chance for the crooked prison guard to release the prisoner illegally.
VIP SWAT
The swat leader for VIP could also have a item called 'Portable Shield' which is similar to the riot shield that we currently have as of now. Except once out in the players hand it will not protect the player until it is placed down. Once placed down it will b able to completely cover the player if they are crouched. However if the shield is shot too much the shield will be broken but if it is picked up before it shatters you can place it back down but with the existing damage done to the shield. This will only be available to the swat leader to reduce the risks of multiple shields being placed to prop block or be abused.
The swat sniper job can have have an item which looks like the goggles for the orbital strike but instead of being a weapon it will mark a waypoint for all police. This will allow the job to be more immersive as it will be able to scout from a distance telling the police where to go/raid if there are illegals near by while they cover from behind etc.
Other:
If you Think of any other ideas that can be implemented into giving more options available for the police jobs let me know and i will add them here.
SamP- Perhaps there should be a penalty for being caught as a "CROOKED PRISON GUARD" if you are aiding criminals, maybe just a Higher fine on arrest. A cash reward for releasing criminals would also give incentive to RP the job correctly. Also a slightly different skin so it is easier to tell the difference.
