This especially. Coming from an ex-rebel, even we thought it was horrible RP to just get them to transfer it and then let the hostage go. Bad RP and quick cash reward. Boring for the cops and the hostage. Please please please rebels, for now just do this <3

Also, I've been kidnapped twice tonight within an hour of each other. Both times I was killed. Please try to refrain from just executing us :<

I've spoken to a few police about this, and we feel the money you rebels demand is far too high. Which when we get 5 hostage situation a day, can cause quite a problem. 

typically, Officers get ransomed for £1,000,000-£5,000,000

Which is just un-reasonable. So here's my recommendation:

CC - £500,000

CSI/SI - £400,000

CI - £300,000

DI - £200,000

PC/SPC/SGT - £100,000

(CSO/PCSO cannot be take hostage, and are under instructions to disconnect if that happens)

Now I know we all like to negotiate, so I'm proposing that these values, can be increased by up to 100%. So if you get a DI in some fortress with 10 rebels guarding, you've got a good chance of getting that £400,000. And getting away with it. 

If you capture that same DI by yourself, held up in some shack in the middle of no-where alone.... well the odd are against you. So you're looking at that £200,000 mark. But it's still open to negotiations. And it can be less that this limit depending on the situation.

All the money comes straight from Officer pockets. We don't get an endless supply, and new cops will have a extremely limited pool of money. And the lower the amount you ask for, the more likely we are to give it to you, instead of a sending in am Armed TFU squad.

And on a final note, any money that is exchanged for a hostage, has to be done in cash. It's police protocol. And increases RP. Which is what it's about. 

We don't want a repeat of last time, where you could make millions by camping towns and patrol only to steal cops every hour, because it's the easiest way to make money. Because then I imagine, it will get banned again. Which nobody wants. 

So, how does this sound to everyone?

Agree on everything,but the hostage prices. I do like that their tiered by rank and the prices have been high since old police have or had immense amounts of wealth. This is now not the case,so I think we should play around with pricing a bit. You have a better understanding of the police economy since you are one,so if you asked around we could average this out. We don't want this ending up like the bank where people go there to fight and not for the money since gearing up one rebel is typically around 100K. Hostage situations should bring value in RP and money since they are time consuming as we all know quite well and even when resolved peacefully usually end with shooting anyway. I think 2 hours sounds about right for an average situation,so think of time as an investment.

Don't think prices should change much...

Else everyone will go around again kidnapping cops and then, there comes the rule again against kidnappings and you guys get pissed off.

Now if that prices would change, i would do max 1 MIL for CC and descending, more than that is ridiculous.

exactly this. I understand stand some cops have a lot more money than others. But kidnapping should be about the RP, not the money. Otherwise it will revert back to kidnapping ecery cop on sight and ransoming them back, with an initial demand for £1-£5m. 

We've just got hostage taking back, why not try this out for now? After a couple weeks when everyone is happy it's not being abused, maybe we can increase the prices a little bit. 

 
I know it's just been allowed again, but wow, the amount of attempted hostage takes I've have heard/seen..

 
Please everybody calm it down. Otherwise something that is supposed to be fun will be ruined and got rid of or have stricter rules put in place. 

 
It's not a complaint, I'm just surprised that the rebels don't take it a bit more slow :p

I mean, if it is overused it probably will be removed for some extra time.

In KoA we are now trying to limit the amount of people we kidnap. We are aware of the issue with too many hostages. We only did 3 in total so far. So I don't think that we are too big of an issue. We intend to just rob them and take their gear and cars just like old days ;) .

 
People are already starting to use the recommended prices,but their taking the hostage's personal money as well...

May I suggest(Of course with variation of prices due to negotiation and the "double" ceiling Heatproofsean mentioned if the RP is good.)

CC - £1,000,000
CSI - £900,000

SI - £800,000
CI - £700,000
DI - £600,000

SGT - £500,000

SPC - £400,000

PC - £300,000

 
I'm only worth £10k, so stop trying to take me !!! :p :D :D
