Here’s the problem CTRG just does not fit into asylum at the current moment. Just for a little context me a Ahmed had a conversation regarding this on cop yesterday so I’m gonna state some of those points here. Ahmed’s point is to add content to the server and create balance. So first I’m gonna hit on the content part, by adding this, only a very small subset of the community actually get access to this content and it would take an extreme amount of development, testing and texturing stuff to get this faction up in running not counting all of the SOPs that have to be made, access to whitelisting and so on. Simply put it’s just not a thing worth for devs to spend time developing atm IMO. 
 
Now regarding balance, as some people stated above everything is pretty balanced as it is. If gangs need more people they will just group up and fight as that already happens, if cops need help then they ping SWAT certified and higher ups and they get on 99% of the time. There is already enough balance with things like the ghost hawk that rarely gets used but is still there in extreme situations and with the power that captains have to hand out Mk 1s if needed. So far as balancing this won’t accomplish anything.
Now my biggest concern that I brought up yesterday was that everyone is gonna complain that it’s just crimson in CTRG. This 100% would be a problem cannot lie to you. If you look at any server that CTRG is on it becomes a friend circle of all the best players and that is exactly what would happen here. This would turn into a complete nightmare for the community and I think would actually start pushing gangs and cops off the server. All and all I just simply don’t think CTRG has any spot in our community there is already plenty of balance atm. I think it would be more useful for the community for devs to spend time on other suggestions that creates content for a wider range of community members.

Yappington sr. Over here Jesus man

The payout of all tiers of shipments are too low. You are putting more than just jail/ticket at risk like every other event. Ifrits are almost required in order to win even the small one and if you lose you lose more than 150k. Not only that but the shipment is hard to do compared to other events. I love the event because its something unique but I think it needs a better payout due to the risk 

you been spending too much time at the hookah lounge again Ahmed?

no
we have enough unnecessarily whitelisted factions (1)
just make a group, or get on cop

>magic whitelist faction that switches from cop to rebel depending on pop

That's literally what Crimson already does
Here's the whitelist application section btw: 
 

It just sounds like a gang that can act with impunity.

If you can shoot out civ in a frits then you can shoot a cop in the frit.

How do I disable recoil like you?

Its pretty easy to enforce a bit of basic faction rules. We just give the admins the ability to blacklist from the slot like we can for cops. One click and it doesn't matter what rank they are or if their whitelisted. They can't play that faction but arn't banned from the server.

As for the vehicles/"Abuse" of medic. My opinion has always been who cares?
If a civ group wants to take a MK out of the fight for cheaper armor and faster revives let em. I think its perfectly ok to roleplay a corrupt medic. The only thing is we obviously need a way for cops to RPly punish it. Either by sending them to jail or some sort of "Revoke medics license" like bounty hunter.

As someone that was a Lt in the APD I’m surprised you’d even consider posting this..

To be honest I'm not completely against making the faction public again to some degree. I think the issue has to due with regulating medics on the server.
If it is completely public, there is no way you can enforce any type of faction specific rules. This means that medics will be swarming cartels, be personal medics for gangs/APD, and be held to zero professional/RP standards. I assume that most would say who cares, but then after they kill someone at a cartel that keeps getting revived multiple times without a cooldown, they're opinion might change.
Another issue is the vehicles currently available to the AFD. How will the armored vehicles be regulated? Will they be removed entirely? Or are we going to give every medic hunters and striders and let them run loose?
The public medic days were a lot of fun, but its easy to forget the amount of VDM that took place with dirt cheap vans and helicopters. A solution could be to make the vehicles just as expensive as civ, but this makes it difficult for new players to make a profit on medic.
It's easy to dismiss the AFD as useless when you spend all of your time on the server fighting cartels or doing federal events. What about the newer and less competitive players who have much more frequent interaction with medics? The new players who get fucked over making money are very often saved by a medic who, if the faction were unwhitelisted, would not come to revive them.
I recommend either adding a couple public slots with limited equipment for new players to try it out, or relaxing some restrictions on medics being at cartels/federal events to make them more involved with the cops vs. robbers dynamic.
