TOPIC: [SSRP] One Big Suggestion List

Police in this game are essentially thief's with better raiding equipment, and there is really no benefit for the common people to have them. So, I thought of a sort of system to make cops actually helpful, it is only an idea but I want to see what others have to say about it. So it goes like this:

1.) Somebody calls the police typing /911 (reason)
2.) Police receive not only the message but a point-marker that shows the location on their screen of where the call was from.
3.) Police arrive at the scene and do what they got to do.

The point markers would only last 60 seconds or so and if somebody else calls during that time, a second point marker is created (perhaps with a different color).

This may be a lot of stress on the developer and is I suppose more of a long term goal or idea, but this will help police actually be able to defend citizens. Because typing something like, "/advert [911] I HAVE BEEN MUGGED" doesn't give a location and is essentially useless. And even if they did, it is VERY hard to actually describe where you are on the map because a lot of people don't know the nicknames for places like: "mansion" or "factory" etc. and these nicknames are not universal as some people have different names for the same place.

SWAT (and possibly SAS) should spawn with a riot shield, which would (obviously) stops bullets from damaging the player.

Rest assured that when equipped, the riot shield will ONLY protect the wielder from FRONTAL damage (meaning when equipped, you'll still be vulnerable from the back and sides). The wielder will also be incapable of having both the riot shield and a weapon equipped at the same time (for obvious reasons).

I believe there is already a short animation between equipping and unequipping the riot shield, preventing players from rushing. If not, I'm sure it can be modified to add a delay between equipping and unequipping it. I believe it can also be modified to lower the player's move speed while it's equipped, which would add a touch of realism and keep it balanced.

If we implement the changes I've listed above, then the only effective way to use the riot shield would be with a partner or group, thus emphasizing teamwork and cooperation between government classes.

Here is a addon that I have tested and it seems to work well.

Currently, I personally find it really hard to describe where I am. Say if I am advertising a shop, it makes it confusing to read:I Think it would be loads easier if someone implemented map names.
For example, I have written this up:It seems to be better, at least for me.

So, after spending a large portion of my time as CP/SAS/SWAT, etc, one thing glaringly stands out to me. You can either be a regular cop, which has little to no benefit, and more constraint, or label yourself as corrupt and run around mostly unchecked, ignore crime, and use all of the cool shit in your vault.

Why in the hell would you NOT label as corrupt? There really IS no downside, and the regular CP can't really do anything about it except for apparently demote. There are several things wrong with this system, I think, but it mainly all stems from the fact that most ignore any sort of voting that pops up due to the fact that they're semi-afk farming printers, want to troll, or just don't give a damn enough to vote.

So, my two suggestions, are to give the "good cops" a chance to fight back against corruption. You wan't to be corrupt? Cool beans. But hide it, just like all real-life example of corrupt law enforcement would. I'd like to propose a tiered arrest system to make CP accountable for corrupt actions. CP themselves will not have the ability to arrest fellow police officers, just like they do now. However, every step above them (SAS, SWAT, etc) have the ability to arrest corrupt officers if they catch them engaging in unlawful activity.

Ex1: Good SAS is running around, and sees a CP carrying illegal weaponry. He confiscates it and jails the officer just like any other criminal.

Ex2: SWAT agent witnesses a SAS officer look the other way during a bank robbery. Into the slammer he goes.

Because, why not?

On other DarkRP servers, I've seen a command under the F4 menu that allows a player to click and roll a number that is displayed into local chat. Ex: "Banker has rolled a 75" This could be VERY beneficial despite the fact that it is a VERY simple factor in gameplay. We could hold internal contests, give discounts for a certain roll as gun dealer, or possibly have a roulette style game show in which the unfortunate player rolling between 40 and 50 gets a bullet to the brain, or arrested! The numbers would go through 0-100.
