So I'm just going to start by saying this post is about hopefully making the server better and bring more fun to everyone in the community! all the things i have to say are from what ive heard people talk about OOC and IC

I'm going to start off with the legal jobs and what could be a potential change! currently we have a couple legal jobs for the civs = Mechanic / Binman / Taxi / Trucking / Tow Trucking / Food Delivery / Solicitor / Dealership Work / Fishing / Mining & Smelting / Hunting


Currently been a Binman is the best way for money as we all know! But this is only the best way due to having Friends doing the Job with you! This makes the pay balanced in my eyes due to having to find people to do the Job with!..... But I have heard a lot of gang members complain about this Job and how it has stopped the flow of Drugs in the city and not many people are buying Drugs to sell...

I am not saying that it pays too much or anything like that but me and my group and a lot of other RPUK Players have been talking on Discord about the server and what ideas could maybe change within the server to bring a bit more fun to it!! I still have tonnes of fun on the server and having a laugh with all my mates and try get up to whatever we can! As a group in the Miners&Co Discord we have come up with some ideas for the different jobs and we would like to see what everyone else thinks of these!


Some of the ideas are very simple but could help see more players doing different jobs and not just "Binning"

  • Mechanic Jobs for "NPC's" pay more money... Nothing bad just simply having it so you dont have to rely on the Police or G6 to impound a car for you to earn 7.5k! I have done a fair bit of Tow Trucking and it only pays around £2k/3k! you can get jobs pretty close but it would be nice to maybe have some jobs out in Paleto that would pay more for the distance you have travelled




  • bar work / restaurant "having more people work at shops like burger shot and little restaurant's" make getting food more Roleplay based and not a two second "take me cash" Allowing Players to RP more in depth I know the Bones brothers will have something to say on the smoothies and how it is pretty much what everyone uses for food and drinks!


  • Add dispatches to food delivery = Shop App a very short and simple idea! I'm not too sure on how it would work but it is just an idea!



  • Mining/Smelting - having police patrol the area more and have the PCSO mentality and not expect a shoot out whenever attending here!./ this would help the mining and smelters with getting material's out to the city without having to worry all the time about being robbed! Or have it so material's are a big factor to the city and without steel/ iron etc! cars cant be imported and parts for the cars wont be made so AE/TN can't fit said parts until (X) Amount has been supplied to Nobles or whatever! making it a bigger necessity to the city allowing Mining and smelting to be a main job for the city to run and keep going! this is a big thing for our group! we want to keep going with mining and smelting but the main thing that is stopping us is that we do the same thing everyday and its always the same RP! we make the material's and then sell them to said groups but its very boring RP to repeat! Yes we could try and add some /ME's into the Roleplay to try and push it but sometimes that cant be done! I would like to see some things changed with the city and Mining and Smelting to be a big factor!!! I would like to hear other peoples opinions on this topic!


  • I understand this might be a up and down topic for everyone but its just throwing Ideas out there and seeing who else can add!..... Trucking & Taxi Making/ Food delivery! so if caught with a firearm using said vehicle will ban you from that job completely making criminals make less money for being said "Criminal" = Roger C after a certain amount of time you can appeal the "ban" on said "Job" making it harder for crims to earn money but also adding more roleplay to the courts!! adding this would make it higher risk to be a criminal! This would allow Crims to go back to selling Drugs and making money the illegal way! with this allowing gang members to sell drugs to Civilians / Criminals Keeping the flow of Drugs being sold around the city and gangs making money!



  • Police - Stay the same but allow people to Roleplay with you and not have Firearms turn up ASAP rocky/ making Police more like PCSO's and not having the instant shoot outs... Making it so that Firearms are called in via normal patrol officers and not directly having them turn up!/ or having it so there is a officer assigning said Units to dispatches depending on the call/Text received from NPC/Players!. … Firearms officers should patrol as standard officers and convert into firearms uniform and kit when needed instead of constantly being armed and unnecessary! this allowing them not to be robbed as much and making it harder to grab Firearm officers and not been vending machined!! I know a lot of the Police mains will reply to this bit specifically and id like to hear what you guys would like to see change with the community and not argue! I am here to suggest not bicker like kids!






  • I am not sure on ideas for NHS Fire or G6 but feel free to comment on these!


I haven't being on the server too long! but since November 2023 I have enjoyed every last second of the server and still do. I am always finding new stuff to do but I would like to see some changes one day or even have Dev's talk to us more on what changes or new additions could be coming to the server! and id like to see more people suggesting ideas instead of moaning about how there is nothing to do!! I understand a lot of people have been here for a long time but if you enjoy the server and want to keep it going! say something! help out! I don't know but all I can say is Thanks for all the hard work the Devs do on the server and I hope we see something new and exciting soon



This isn't a dig at the server and I want to make that very clear ! I have so many good laughs on here and the Roleplay is amazing! I hope to see everyone's ideas / suggestions about what I have said!






Thank you for reading!:)​

To start a change with this you would first need to change the meta on everyone lives on smoothies, grab 10 smoothies and your set for a while, I wish it would change honestly I hate the smoothies meta, i checked I have sold 2k smoothies in the last week and somewhere ordered 3k from the Wearhouse, maybe the Devs can add diabetes 🤔 , the unfortunate thing is nobody really wants to have to stop off in a restaurant and sit down for a meal and RP it, when up n atom opened sure people did because it was a new place, but now people just want to run in grab and go

I once trialed a food is 20% cheaper if you dine in nobody cared

Tho I am hopefully the food update that was mentioned a while back brings some nice change to the meta

i would also like to throw in,
for mining
add a way to mine with a little less efford (buy or craft a drill,buy or craft a specified drill bit use the circle minigame once and than just continue useing just E to mine
rather the drill bit / drill can brake if u crank up of how many matierals u wanna get)
if you are to low with ur mining level u cant mine certian things with your low level.

For smelting,
rather add a portable smelter with lower max count of how many u can smelt that can be deployed like a sacret box or some tables,
if thats a no no add smelting places at certian gangs to smelt there under their protection.

For hunting
id have 2 approches about this.
i have been haveing to many points on my hunting license and i have seen multiple others haveing that problem too, i cant get leather anywhere and my gang are a bunch of lazy bums.
Illigal hunting:
craft bbguns that u can stun animals with and skin them while they are stunned we have a billion springs from panning get them to use plus a shit ton of plastic and u have a bb gun bb bullets can be made out of plastic to
if needed put the damge down so it does to humans zero damage aswell of the stun effect since it is not a tazer.

Legal job that doesnt require to activeley hunting but u rather buy idk some cows and skin them in the chicken factory
or there are cows and pigs all over the town make a palce to use the cow lure them into the narrow fences and stun and skin them there


but all in all +1
 
So I have read through this suggestion a couple of times just to make sure I am not missing bits and I agree that it would be nice to change up some of the civ Jobs
In relation to towing, I agree that NPC cars should pay more to make it worthwhile but it would also be nice if when you got the higher mechanic levels you have access to a vehicle that could be used to tow large vehicles such as trucks this would save having to "BOB" vehicles and could have a higher fee say £15k for a Police job and maybe £10,000 for a NPC

Hunting I like the idea of illegal hunting would give more work for the rangers and the rural crime team in the police but it would be nice to see levels for hunting and the higher level the more you would get from animals and also adjusting what different animals give so a dear will give more meat but a lion or rabbit could give more fir. it would also be nice to cook the meat for food.

With regards to your comments in relation to mining and the police visiting the mine, I believe this is what the rural crime team is for however its having people who want to do it I like to go by the Mines when I'm just patrolling around and have been seen there a few times.

My opinion about the comment you made about firearm officers I disagree that they should be normal officers and then have to go back to the station if needed or need calling up by other officers and believe that it would be impracticable usually if you need firearms officers you need them now not in 10mins when they have returned tot he station and kitted up . It would be very boring for firearms officers then and would reduce activity and lead to gangs having the run of the place because firearms officers wouldn't be about. What I do think is a good solution is rifles being kept in weapon safes until responding to a firearms situation. The issue then becomes however that firearms are far more prominent in Los Santos the Mainland UK and the risk of individual possession and trying to use guns on people is much higher.

Finally, I will comment on the PCSO part of this. I have been on the server for over 3 years now all of that time in the Police. This has been tried multiples times with things such as the neighbourhoods team, to some extent rural crime and it unfortunately doesn't work. you will have one or two people with the drive to do it but once they move on then it falls apart because there just isn't the interest there.

I honestly agree with you but I think the only way anything would ever change is if the devs just do it and that's it! if it makes the server better in the long run why not just do it???? Its a serious RP server and I think it could bring some good RP to the city! imagine burger shot arguing with the kraken... idk but would be cool to see it change! maybe have certain foods you have in a row allow you to not be as hungry for 10 mins longer?? I'm not sure what but would be cool

I agree with the Mining bit but the smelting bit would be very OP I feel like and put some people at an advantage! I could be wrong but I see where you're coming from!

I would love to see Illegal Hunting in the city! When I was a ranger I had a lot of people ask for a hunting license on the side but couldn't due to the no corruption rule for rangers
having other animals to hunt would be cool! having local farms chase you etc! but not hunting just for Leather meet and fur would be a good addition to the server!

it wouldn't work the way you want it to, unfortunately it seems most people have a rather easy time to get guns(which is a bit eh, but not for this suggestion) firearms have to be proactive, otherwise response people are gonna be undermanned easily, the police follows the server meta AKA, when/if the amount of guns on the server become lower so will the amount of firearms you see aswell, just how it works.

as for dispatching, already possible, no one does it, how would you propose to make this enjoyable and make people do it?

So starting with the Mechanic/Tow trucking driving Job! I'm glad you can agree it is a fun Job to do when there is a load of "Player Jobs" getting 7.5k every 10 mins or so! Having a more in-depth Level base would be nice! having only select people able to Tow 8+ tonne vehicles etc! but also not having to rely on Police to impound cars to earn decent money!

When I was a ranger I only ever dealt with Rural Crime when asking for PNC checks! I didn't see them much! so would be cool to see them more frequently along side the rangers stopping illegal hunters etc! +1 for the idea of said animals giving more of an item! but with that maybe the spawn rates change if the Devs can do that!

I knew the Firearm suggestion would be a up and down topic but if it is something that the police would like to do I'm sure it can be done with the amount of police there is!. even when we had Car check point near Pillbox that was some fun and made the RP a good laugh! it was posted all over tweedle and wasn't hard to miss due to Pillbox being a high player based area!!! All ill say is it would be nice to see the police have a bit of fun with the civs and try let the RP be longer and if a gun fight does happen make it last and not a push push push type situation!! I think it would make players want to engage with police more if the rp lasted longer and wasn't a straight up Mexican stand off etc! BTW I'm not saying its like that all the time!!! just throwing ideas out there! ( going off what have seen & heard)
 
The majority of this suggestion rely on mentality changes from the playerbase, for example in regards to Firearms turning up to calls, the cops tend to operate on a near irl system, to restrict a certain unit within the faction because of the unit they're in frankly seems unfair and anti-roleplay, just because they're Firearms it doesn't mean they don't know how to Roleplay, gunfights are generally started by an opposing faction and cops use their guns defensively (this is ofc generally speaking, there are situations that take place that require cops to shoot first but they are incredibly rare)

Yes it would be nice to shake jobs up and probably allow for a wider RP opportunity but the current mentality of the general playerbase must change first, that applies to all players from all RP backgrounds as well, cops, crims, civs etc, the grinder mentality needs to go as does the frag mentality, those using 3rd party crosshairs for example show a frag mentality, those that grind and don't RP with anyone except NPC's, that needs to stop.

There are a few underlying issues within the cops I can't doubt that at all and won't, but Roleplay is being prioritised, or at least attempting to be, the issue is despite the progress within a single faction other gangs/factions/groups/civs need to follow suit as well.

I won't + or - this suggestion purely because it's controversial and doesn't really highlight anything directly.

Add dispatches to food delivery = Shop App a very short and simple idea! I'm not too sure on how it would work but it is just an idea! - This is already a thing (Phone>Favourites)
 
+1 for many of the suggestions in the original post here. Particularly regarding Civ jobs and putting things in place to make criminal activities more attractive vs just running bins all day.

Another idea to throw in here is some additions to the trucking job, specifically to pick up orders from Paleto/Sandy for delivery around the city itself. An example of this could be wood deliveries from paleto to the south, and metal/mineral deliveries from Sandy to other areas of the city. This would provide those that enjoy the trucking job opportunity to make a bit more cash by not wasting return journeys from the long jobs they pick up in the city that take them out that way.

This is already a thing, When I did the refresh of the delivery job this went in at the same time
 
Nice suggestions,

I've read through all the replies some constructive the others not so much.

I agree with Tow trucking, If it isn't joe scrub! people just ain't doing them type of jobs, I think when it comes to collecting a "Player car" You shouldn't be able to deliver the car unless the owner is present resulting a possible tip for the driver but also add to the roleplay thus paying more for the interaction.

I agree with fishing, the other day i remembered about fishing grabbed my boat and a load of bait & packed it in after two cast's at the spot.

I believe Mining/smelting is a funny one as done right it can be a very good money earner as you know, BUT steel is far to heavy. It's just not efficient enough for new solo miners.

With the police is a catch 22, If they took your suggestions into action you'd have 90% of gang members just pointing guns at them & telling them to fuck off so they could carry on with anything they liked. I kind of like the idea of you fuck around & you definitely will find out.
Avions suggestion has a clean edge though, having the bigger firearms locked away in the car safe's ready in case things get heavy. Also a risk assessment when on scene may be a good option I know when officers see a panic they all show up on smoke. Some times they don't need every unit to attend.

Unfortunately with the way bins is, people are able to meet new people all the time thus making it easier to make contacts. Very very easy for new players to join and do bins for a week with strangers, become friends & by the end of the week they've got a selection of automatic rifles at hand, when i first came to the server I didn't even know what a marksman was for a good 6 months.

Overall +1
