Correct me if I am wrong as I have not played on this server in a long time, but just by viewing the forums and getting in some gameplay today I feel that the server needs to work on some balancing?
For a start viewing the donator perks
You have the mk200 set at £50,000, whilst the TRG21 is at £100,00 is there a reason for this? or was it just random pricing.
TRG-21 5.56mm Caliber, 30 round clip
mk200 6.5mm Caliber, 200 round clip
If I was to pick between those 2 guns, I would definately go for the mk200 as it is hell of a lot cheaper, and it mows down vehicles/helicopters and its very effective at close range, whereas the TRG has a smaller caliber and slightly more effective at longer range and imo with that price tag I'd be suprise If I see people rolling around with it.. I would buy the katiba over the TRG if I had to pick as it is an overall better rifle having a £50k cheaper price tag.
Having the TRG21 costing more than the mk200 and the mk18 is absurd, as it is in no way superior to both of them.
Vehicles
Hummingbird ~ £20,000 This sounds awfully cheap, don't you think? You say that this is a RP server, but if the hummingbird is only £10k more than the hatchback sport, I'd take the hummingbird.. how are people suppose to interact if they spend more time in the air then on the ground?
I havn't had the chance to view the means of how people gather illegal/legal material, however by looking at the Stock exchange graphs, it seems like the Mohawk would be in favour due to its large unit space and the ability to get accross the map safely.
Now... In real life you wouldn't see helicopters transferring goods unless delivering militiary cargo.. you MAINLY see VANS/TRUCKS/LORRIES delivering goods on a daily basis.
I would propose a balance to see the use of Truck boxers / Zamaks / HEMMTs more often, ater all being stationed on the ground rather in the air will allow the purposes for Roleplay.
This balance can come in many forms.. I will construct an example below.
Offroad
Cost: 30k
Weight: 150
Truck Boxer
Cost: 100k
Weight: 300
Zamak
Cost: 190k
Covered: 240k
Weight: 450 Covered: 600
Hemmt
Cost: 350k
BOX: 450k
Weight: 800 BOX: 1000
Orca
Cost: 1.4mill
Weight: 200
Mohawk
Cost: 2.5mill
Weight: 400
This sort of balance will make the HEMMT the preferred money making vehicle for the more organised/rich gangs, whereas the Offroads, Zamaks and Truck Boxers will be much more in favour for the "Lone rangers" and not so money fortunate people. This makes the HEMMTs more desirable to steal over the other vehicles due to its price and possible chop shop sale? So it would be kind of cool to see new players using truck boxers more often and leaving the HEMMTs to the big gangs, SMALL VEHICLE SMALL RISK, BIG VEHICLE LARGE RISK BIG PAY... however price changes of the materials will need to be altered to balance out the large unit spaces.
This would also see the Mohawk and Orcas being used mainly as "Spotters/transport" rather than being used to gather material.
Please correct me If I have totally got it wrong with how the majority of the server/gangs use to collect materials, and please post your opinions if you feel like any balance changes needs to occur.
