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.

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.

The vehicles cost nothing that is a terrible excuse. When someone takes a medic hostage the minimum they should be getting is 1 MX with if the negotiating cop is NICE. Theyll end up getting a sting which costs nothing...

Vehicles do cost something after you have to re turbo and buy new vehicles because they get blown up or you need one for a new wave

Is that going to happen within this update? Or are we going to have to bare a month of 30k lethal money?

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.

Exactly how and when was this fixed? Lethal money is slightly more consistent than it used to be, but is not fixed. I have lethaled 1mil+ multiple times and got jack shit :/

Fuck if I know

30k lethals here we come! Well looks like I'll be loading tasers at rebels and warzone cause thats how I'm making more money and that's exactly what every civ on warzone wants

Vehicles cost nothing?  Thanks to federal events I've bought 30 vehicles just to make sure I have enough for each wave and I'm a Patrol Officer.  I couldn't imagine being a Corporal or higher have to spend money on helis(Hummingbird, Orca, Ghosthawk for Sgt) or Seargents buying hunters to attack federal events.  

Hostage situations can be a mixed bag depending on how many prisoners the taker has and what he is asking for.  I mean obviously if they guy wants 500k he isn't getting that he'll totally get something reasonable if there is a high enough rank online to get exactly what he wants. i.e. Guy wants a MK1 taser but there are no Senior APD on.

Lastly I'll say this.  Cops deserve to be compensated the way that they are because of the cancerous and horrible people that they have to deal with on a daily basis.  You know how many times Trident has held up processing for over an our because they come out of the ground like weeds?  Do you know how many times some kid yells that he is recording and that I broke 18 rules and that he is taking my rank?  This is why some cops do the minimum roleplay because they have a civilian that is spouting off random rules trying to get them deranked or banned.  If you want more of an RP experience, maybe civilians should actually make an effort on their end.

If your a corporal+ and cant afford to buy an aircraft, you are terrible with money. Cause the time it takes to get there is a LONG time and talking about the cancerous people, YOU signed up for it you knew what you were getting into if you thought APD was gonna be all sunshine and rainbows you're wrong.

This kinda seems unfair where corporals lethal someone and get dirt crap while that individual has the opportunity to get cleared without paying shit. "Capturing" them is not always an option. On the other hand, I don't see the point of reducing income from arrest by 10%.

So if you're going down the being irresponsible with money route.  Who is to say that someone only plays cop?  example. I'm a cop but I also play in a gang that fights cartels.  I spend my money on loadouts on civ now I have less money.

Put it like this, if I become a cop in real life.  Do I have to buy my loadout, no.  Do I have to buy my car, no.  Do I have to take my personal money into a hostage situation to get someone out of it, no.  Cops are compensated the way there are to offset these costs AND allow the cop to have some bring home money.  

On the cancerous side of things, I acknowledge that.  However, when people go on the forums or send a dispatch immediately after being processed saying how "APD are OP" or "APD doesn't RP".  That pisses me off because they themselves are the reason things didn't go the way they would've liked to after the fact.  If you are going to be cancerous don't question why you had a limited RP experience because you didn't allow it to happen.

What. I guarantee if you were given the option to take a corp test you would take it. You're acting like all corporals are rich, now why would you think that? Cause they have can do heli patrols and have lethals, but helis require money to insure and lethals just got a huge nerf. And if you have ever been a part of or seen the apd you know they crash/blow up helis more than any other faction.

If they crash than its your own fault for crashing. If they blow up in any other fashion as in getting arma'd - report it rammed into - report it.

" APD 911 calls now update locations if another 911 call is made by the same player "

Was this also updated for R&R? Pretty sure it has/had the same problem.

I think lethal should be made to work like arrests, where a higher percent is available for the split when there are more cops around.

APD receive buff after buff after buff since the servers went live and receive a nerf and the sky is falling.  Your income will be lessened obviously but the fraction it costs to be effective on the APD is still by far in your favour when it comes to money.

I know not every situation can be resolved with tasers but god forbid you occasionally try to capture someone.
