We appreciate the feedback around this issue. We will be keeping the timer as is for now.

A concern brought to us by the Cpts is that there is not enough time between federal events. It was suggested we increase the time greatly to allow for several things: - Actually ending the fighting - Collect all suspects and return to an HQ - Process all suspects - To return to Patrol The benefits suggested would be: Allow more time for civilians to fight each other, rather than cops. Bring risk back to running of illegal items as APD would have additional time to patrol these areas. Give more opportunities for spontaneous combat to occur rather than scripted events. suggested downsides: Large groups looking to make money from bank/fed/lockup would have to wait much longer to do so. If your group mate is sent to jail from a federal event, completely eliminates the opportunity to break them of jail. Greatly increasing the time would obviously be a major change to how the server currently functions. And before we make any decision around this we wanted feedback from all sides in the community. Please vote in the poll, and give your thoughts on the topic. (And yes I am aware the federal reserve cool down is currently broken)

Myself, Mitch, and Rogue all were able to be hit by 7.62 while in the drivers seat being fired at the glass. I'm not sure if the Asylum server has a different armor value but def worth looking into.

Don't Disagree. There were ideas that post testing, which would of been cpt only that it might get moved to swat or other ranks. It would have to thoroughly tested before that was to happen though.

As the first sentence states: "Cpts reasons behind their requests" These are their own guidelines/reasons they've proposed for the vehicles use.

Adding some info about the Marid from our testing and the Cpts reasons behind their request: 10 Crew total - 1 Driver, 1 Commander, 8 Passengers. Driver/Command disembark via their respective sides. 8 Passengers all exit at the rear door. 6 Tires - 1.5 Mags of 6.5+ to Destroy wheel, .5 mag of 6.5+ to deflate. Wheels are fairly weak and hitting any obstacle at half speed or greater (IE: chicken wire fence, tree, wall ect.) will break the wheels. Ballistic Info - 7.62 Does not pen armored sides. 7.62 Does pen glass view panels on front and rear of the vehicle 1-2 shots to break glass (These windows are small, front view ports are best shot thru at elevated angle). 1 RPG to front to blow up, 2 RPG rounds to sides/rear to blow up. .50 Cal fully pen's all parts of vehicle. Top speed - 108kph (very slow acceleration) Armor V Armor - When hitting from the side/front panel wheels often are destroyed. Marid is also very top heavy and prone to rolling. Avoid the direct front and all of the rear when ramming. Turret removed (obv) Proposed Cost - $80,000 (Destroy/Chop Value would be $40,000) , Limited to Cpt Rules of engagement - Could only be pulled for Federal Events, This is not a first push vehicle. Would be used after a situation was assessed and determined greater armor is needed in-order to engage. Likely would only see this used at Bank and Prison. Too slow and not maneuverable enough for Lockup or Shipping Robbery. Federal Reserve could have it's uses but would be rarer than Bank/Prison. The Cpts goal for adding this vehicle would be in situations where they are outgunned to be able to actually deliver officers to CQC areas. IE: not getting 1-2 shot out of the current armored vehicles apd has access to. Nickname : The Doom Turtle

Slight wording change to helicopter VDM rules, Note: this has been held by admins for some time, updating the rules to match. Added/Changed: Impeding the flight path of a helicopter with your own helicopter is not allowed. IE: You hover over a helicopter as it is taking off, it rises up and hits you, you are responsible for the VDM. Removed: Impeding the flight path of a helicopter with your own helicopter is not suggested. Lines about intentional contact being vdm regardless of outcome. - (These are covered under impeding the flight path change)

Congrats guys!

Added Clarification on initiation to include texting all cops/medics is not valid initiation: No type of initiation may be done through direct chat, side chat, 911/311, or vehicle via typing. All initiation must be done with your voice or via text message to a specific player. No change to current rule, clarification only.

Added gating vehicles : Closing a gate on a vehicle causing it to explode that results in the death of other players is considered VDM. This rule has been held by admins but was not written before.

Updated/Reworded BH rules - No changes here. It is not intended for you, your gang, or known associates to profit from your bounty as a bounty hunter. This is considered bounty sharing. Profiting from your own bounty will result in money being removed and possible action being taken.

Updated Illegal areas/red zones post : Added: Uranium Mine, Nuclear Power Plant, Evidence Lockup, Cartels Updated: Prison, RV (made it visible) Removed: Skiptracer

Added: Asylum aggression system Red = Dead A player would appear red to you if they have done damage to you or a group mate recently. Players will also turn red for shooting and hitting vehicles you are in. If your gang is at war with another gang members of the rival gang will appear red. If you are in a group with non gang mates the player you are at war with will not appear red to them and you must shoot first before they are allowed to engage. This is now written as the previous post containing the aggression system was deleted from the forums.

Give warning points to you

I'm all for crafting making a comeback and being expanded, There are folks out there that want to be able to craft everything and i'm one of them. However "kajmans" . That's a hard pass. As Henry said we are limited to what we can offer to donors from bohemia. Something as simple as hatchback sports on cop and debit cards spawning in your inventory for donors made heads explode over there, for a 7 year old game. As to unique rewards from the quest system, I'm hopeful that is something that would be included even if its something simple like a shirt skin and then maybe have some bigger rewards towards the end of it.

+1 to Insurance, Air Garages, Vehicle Spawns at boat shops, Labeling BH, Lethals for spar, expansion to crafting, Gas stations robberies, and new money making. -1 Phone calls , Fuck that aids 0 The garage sort idea i like but something tells me that would be rough to code out. Aircraft for civs - Jets would basically just be a money sink trying to think of practical aircraft nothing really comes to mind that we don't already have. VTOL? very few people can actually fly those things.

You bastards shot my hover board down

This change was made due to players hiding in sandbags, un-openable cargo containers , placed objects ect to hold cartel caps and keep the fed active. As to broken walls admins have a directive of use good judgement. IE: someone is in kavala chillin under a broken wall not doing anything just ignore. If we start to see a trend of players taking advantage of this we can revisit this rule.

Burn it to the ground. My response is basically same as Masons. Our understanding is this is to be done very rarely and in extreme circumstances. Also : *This only applies to vehicles that have entered than left the federal reserve. * Should be "then" . On a serious note if this becomes a problem policy can be changed. As to the OP's question of why, going to be blunt. CEO robs the fed multiple times a day, often with overwhelming numbers and armor. The APD has just about all the 'toys' we can give them. There are Dev things that can be done to limit the fed further (Longer cool downs, reduce gold spawned, raise number of cops, worse systems for civs to have to counter ect...) but that would no doubt hamper the smaller, newer groups looking to do a federal reserve robbery. This is why I personally am OK with this policy change, its a way for the APD to combat in this case, CEO without taking dev time and impacting the avg player. I've said it to the Devs and to the Cpts. I hate seeing and making changes because of 1 group but at the end of the day its to try to make some kind of economy balance. *Prepares for the pitch forks*

Does this mean i'm officially Vol? Cause i'm A-OK with that. @Mason Grats on becoming the one who shall not be named.
