Approved Ideas:
Civilian:
Multiple Hawks Lost + Titan interaction changes

APD:
Qulin Smoke to SGT+ for federal events
ONLY for federal events, cannot be used during any means / when the handbook is being superseded.
New Charges
Impeding Traffic
$5,000
Only to be added if a civilian is blocking the flow of traffic (eg roadblock)
Failure to identify
$2,500
Only to be added to suspects who refuse to provide identification resulting in the APD having to conduct a "blood test".
Increase Federal Events cooldown timer
Increased by 5 minutes (on both failure and success)
Qilin (Light) to PO's for federal events
ONLY for federal events, cannot be used during any means / when the handbook is being superseded.
R&R:
House fires extinguished on stats page
Notification for warzone airdrop event
Two notifications before the event begins so medics know not to drop dopecrates in WZ before the event begins
1 notification an hour before and another one 30 minutes before.
This helps medic know when they will begin so to prevent them from breaking rules with dopecrates in an airdrop.
Option to refill taru fuel near an open water source for firefighting
QOL for refilling water on the taru when out far from a hospital but closer to a water source.
Add the ladder to the roadkit for EMT
Denied Ideas:
Civilian:
Warpoint on cop kills when a player's bounty is above 1 Million
1 Warpoint
Does not Streak / Scale with higher bounty
Reason for denial: Would create a new way to farm warpoints during federal events and other activities which is not the intended way to gain warpoints.
Vandal APD Hunter + Strider
Reason for denial: Allowing jr apd to have a route to armor in their garages is less than ideal, and deleting the vehicle if a jr apd seizes it defeats the vandal system
Ability to capture cartels as a Vigilante
Reason for denial: As a vigilante you are supposed to uphold the law not go into a warzone and capture illegal cartels
Vigilante CSAT + Tear Gas
Reason for denial: Balancing and "cancering" concerns
Buffing ALL Illegal / Legal runs on the server
Reason for denial: Many people actually do runs! Both average daily value & average $/hour of gameplay have been on an upward trend. Historically, simply increasing sell prices has not led to more runs robbing content because, for the most part, people do runs to get enough cash, not for the fun. We're open to rebalancing some of the runs that are done too much or not enough, but if the sale price is affected, it needs to work both ways (i.e. slight nerf to something at the top to offset the buff)
APD:
Make roaching federal events against the rules while the event is in the rings
Reason for denial: No shot we make playing the game against the rules, would probably also have the opposite effect as intended,
New Charges
Operating Stolen Vehicle
Stunt Driving
Reason for denial: Vehicle theft already exists and speeding can already be stacked.
Change Advanced rebel Carrier Rig cost from 100k to 250k
Reason for denial: The vest is not that commonly used and with the amounts purchased nothing supports increasing the price by 150%.
All domes in the Federal Reserve to be indestructible
Reason for denial: It takes a significant amount of money relative to the fed cut, is pretty rarely done, and doesn't render it unplayable.
Type 115 back to corporal
Reason for denial: Don't want to put too many fed nerfs in one update, can reconsider for federal events only in the future.
Blackfish/xion hull to half health
Reason for denial: There are already so few blackfishes after the other "recent" nerfs, esp the vehicle variant and the APD has plenty of counters for how many get used.
R&R:
Medic Jetpacks
Reason for denial: Jet packs were explicitly developed for inclusion in Events and will not be in any capacity added to the regular server's gameplay loop due to the large amount of issues that would arise.
