I would like to give my input as one of the bigger cocaine runners on the server. I am worried about what the changes to the cocaine run would do. I fear that it will be another compound O situation in the fact that it is fun for novelty but it is not actually viable as a consistent run which it currently is. You would be turning a somewhat passive run into a much more active run. I do not like the idea of having my run possibly interrupted purely due to RNG due to the APD chance, I think if there was something like the compound O skill check and if you fail it that would be better because that is an actual consequence, but having it as just a random chance to be triggered in my opinion hurts the average players experience. Another issue I have is the smoke trail, if it is a smoke trail like Compound O's then the 3km area goes down extremely quick because Compound O's can be seen insanely far away and makes the search area for both APD and players much smaller and adds much more risk. Not to mention the players themselves, cocaine is currently a run that isn't too lucrative but its trade off is that it is somewhat safer as there isn't much contention in the zones. With these changes I feel it would very much get rid of that because with it being this lucrative, the average player would have much more contention with players, especially when it comes to the larger gangs like Aegis( you are only being used as an example Aegis, please don't murder me or make my life a living hell, thank you and have mercy on me), Aegis has an insane amount of resources like a few of the big gangs near that area. For the average player i fear that this run will become awful because you have more to lose than the run as of now. I am against the APD chance because a run should not potentially be screwed up purely due to chance, this is mostly a skill game, I don't like the idea of the APD finding out where I am just because of RNGesus not liking me at that time. In conclusion, I think there are ways this could be made to work, but I fear that you are making a very consistent and repeatable run, much worse.
