The crafting will come probably Friday of this week. Just had some stuff we had to figure out that was a bit more complicated than originally thought.

Whoever suggested this clearly doesn't play enough cop. The amount of times that there is a situation that can't be resolved with tasers is higher than the number of times they're abused on groups that could be peaceably taken down with non-lethal means. The civilian population gets buffs to every aspect every month, god forbid we get some too. Other than that its a great patch just sad to see dumb shit like this.

I've played more cop than you.

 

Anyway to school you here, the lethal cap was raised to 600k from 200k because lethals were bugged and barely ever paid out. That has been solved for a while now, so it's back to where it was originally intended to be. But go ahead and talk about how you somehow "Deserved" the raise for literally no other reason beyond "I just want more money." I'd expect more than a kneejerk response from a corporal.

The only reason it was raised back in the day from 200,000 was because actually getting the money from lethals was so inconsistent. Getting lethal money is more consistent now. We also want to deter the use of lethals.

You didn't care to mention in your notes how you literally FUCKED salvaging in the ass???

Get rid of the purple marker requirement, please. As soon as you can. The 12 meter under the surface requirement was good enough. 

Why would you do this??????

I don't care about the prices. You screwed us over half of the previously available shipwreck sites.  

Perhaps it was overlooked when the changelog was written, but salvaging made up a ridiculously large chunk of the income from Civilian. It was far and above the best risk vs reward run. Way too strong and deserved the changes.

Well can we get them to not cut between all the cops in the area then cause thats like 50k from a lethal unless you are the only/last cop alive... like if im pushing a tower with 6 other cops thats kinda aids like as a corporal who uses fed's to pay for insurance and shit this is really aids not sure if you could force it to split to only me and someone else or something like that but just does not seem. 

Lets say you are fighting a fed against trident and they all have 600k bounties give or take you have 5 other cops slamming with you. You push up get a lethal previously this would have given you each 100k okay how bout with this change now you are getting 33k if you get 5 lethals(Usually you get less or get people who have already been lethaled) during a fed all at max price which i most people are you are getting 150k where you were previously getting roughly 500k a very significant drop especially my main problem with how sudden of a drop it is. Like cop is no means about the money but really hurts to see this like now if I get tased but lethal 1 before being restrained or something with other cops around I mght not even have enough to rebuy my loadout you want to talk about getting buffing illegal well making it the primary source of income for corporals who can pull the vehicles that quickly and efficiently search them does not seem like its going to be that great.

 The APD isn't for making money neither is it to kill civilians. This is why they did this to reduce the use of lethals in all and any situations.

I understand the motives behind this decision but you have to remember many if not all of the people who are active lethals in the APD primarily only play Cop or play civ in a more administrative role. And all these orcas and shit have a cost associated with them

If they primarily play cop they dont even need a lot of money then. As the APD dont lose anything unless kidnapped and if your not a dumb cop you'll never get kidnapped.

I can think of many times when cops need money.  To buy vehicles for patrols, when someone takes a Medic hostage and wants something, and when buying more magazines/y inventory.  I'm not saying I would spend as much money if I were on civ fighting a cartel or doing federal events but there still is a cost associated to playing.
