Police panic buttons.

[L1L]

One thing that needs to be considered is the human reaction time according to the IMHC is around 0.25 seconds for visual stimulus (https://www.ihmc.us/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/2021-03-Reaction-Time-2.pdf)

I appreciate the effort in looking up data like this, however, the test you've provided is based on the subject knowing that something will happen in an environment without ''disturbance'' ei, optimal conditions. I'd have to argue that the research article you've provided is not applicable in this instance, in my opinion, it would be better to compare this with something like driving where you'll be able to find that the average detection+reaction time is closer to 1-2 seconds.

Another variable worth considering with a suggestion like this as well is that it could result in fewer police players choosing to press their panic knowing that it will place them in the downed state hoping that backup will arrive quick enough for them to be saved (This tactic IMO is NVL).

I see you mentioning the state of rp as well, I feel like it's not relevant to this discussion.
Saying that sometimes you receive poor RP and therefore need a tool that is so powerful that it makes it incredibly difficult to even attempt such RP with you sounds like prejudice towards the criminal player base, if such is the case I think it's best to bring that up somewhere else.

Ill be honest with my straight opinion.

I feel like it is pretty balanced atm. If you plan it well you can usually get it even if they do panic. Ive seen multiple even after panic they have been taken before any unit arrives because someone has been staking waiting for perfect moment. All these of people doing x y z like seatbelt need reporting or something for exploiting game mechanics. But otherwise it works pretty well. Its not as overpowered its just unfavourable odds

I do see your point in relation to the research article provided and I do agree that it is an ideal situation however most officers who have bee around awhile know the signs that something is about to happen and are thus somewhat prepared for it and thus ready for something to occur and are more alert ot the potential threat. Newer officers not so much.

I further agree with your point about wanting to press the panic in the hope of being downed should in my opinion be seen as NLR however that is for wiser heads than mine to decide.

My comments about the roleplay I apologise for you are right however I was simply rebutting or attempting to rebut at least comments made by another member.

Thank you for taking the time to make this suggestion.

Unfortunately, I am going to be rejecting this suggestion for the following reason(s):

• A lot of time has passed since this suggestion was made, and the server has changed a lot since then, so feedback from the current player base would be ideal.

Rejection does not always mean we would not consider the idea in future, so if you or anyone else disagrees and believes this would be a good idea, please feel free to make a new suggestion to gauge further community feedback.
