I’ll leave the suggestions to the other folks, but one suggestion no one really talks about and it’s one of the three of Criminal Justice: CORRECTIONS.

As a Former Detention Officer of a County Jail in Alabama, it’s time to modernize the Firestone Correction Facility.

  • Add TV screens (yes there’s TV in some cell blocks, but not in individual cells just the living area)

  • PI or Prison Industry, so far the only workforce DOC has it the Kitchen, there should be more working parties like Janitor and Road Crew. These jobs doesn’t need heavy dev support. Another PI is Laundry & Mattress Manufacturing but that will mean building a designated Laundry Room that washes clothing and builds mattress for inmates by inmates. If the PI is successful they can add other manufacturing like License Plates.

With the added gangs update, there’s should be a connection between the Street Gangs and Prison Gangs. It doesn’t have to be “raiding” the Prison but instead the Operation of the INSIDE.

  • Improvised Weapons/Contraband (Shanks)
  • Add phones, the phones on the wall, and whatever inmates say it’s tracking meaning whatever they say the CO can read past text.

With that said it’s now up to Officer safety. If everything is added and there’s more ways of contraband entering the facility there should be Large Scale Searches. K9 Unit operated by SERT (Which ngl it should be renamed to CERT / Corrections Emergency Response Team) that helps sniff out contraband and help respond to calls in Greendale.

Lastly REMOVE THE BAIL SYSTEM.
As someone who sometimes abused the crap out of the Bail System I know what’s up the bail is another revenue service for Firestone to pay off its devs.

I can add some TV’s easily.

Monitored phone system would be cool, would involve some scripting, unsure how labor intensive it would be.

And the expansion of the Inmate Worker system is actually a really good idea, and probably wouldn’t be too difficult! I can see what we can do about this, to give CO’s more options for their inmates to reduce their sentences.

Contraband, I suppose I don’t know any other ways to potentially obtain contraband?

Lastly, I know people don’t like bail, but without it, many of our new players, or even our wealthy players leave after arrest, because they don’t want to wait, so the option being there has shown to be beneficial to keep people in the game.

To stay on the prison topic, the prison break system is extremely flawed -

Idk if this is a department policy or a fed one, but when inmates get a spoon (from doing kitchen duty), they immediately get searched and the spoon is taken away from them.

This makes the prison break system pointless in a way - Inmates should keep their spoons because theres physicslly nothing wrong with the spoon, but their intentions

Its why even wth multiple COs on, people still bail out because whats the point in doing kitchen duty to have a chance at getting a spoon, with it being removed immediately.

Prison breaks over the years has remained do engaging, but is never seen anymore because its literally impossible.

Lastly, it makes the criminal feature “Break prison cuffs” pointless

This is a department policy issue. I mean they could change it so the spoon isn’t considered contraband.

Criminal turfs

The criminal turfs, for its intended purpose (crim vs crim), has not been successful

Its because over the years, crims made the relationship to “not be toxic to other crims”, so when the turfs came out, criminals who were in different, just took turns and shared it to access the turfs

Its because shooting other crims prior this update is “toxic” because all crims are on the same team (civillian), when there are literally 10+ departments/divisions

This update to criminal groups like project sigil, (which has officially shut down yesterday due to the lack of recognition and motivation) doesn’t give them any recognition or appreciation

I get it that beggars cant be choosers, but it is felt like this turf update was added not only for crimVcrim, but just to fill in “a criminal update”

Adding a new LEO vehicle
So the FSP challenger I built with btools could spark more activity on the LEO side. A state patrol agency with such a specialized vehicle would be more realistic. (CSP has a challenger irl.) If this car is added, you could like allow their command to start a competition to see who gets to drive it first on who gets the most logs, and so on. This way, they would be motivated to patrol just for the car. What if you restrict it to spawning one vehicle at a time so it’s more balanced that way like how you did with the breast cancer cars. We’re overwhelmed with the amount of criminals driving supercars that goes faster than us anyway so this might help relieve some of the stress and actually give us a chance to catch them if there are no ASU online.

Bail System
If you want LEOs to play the game again, scrap the bail system. Even though it might be “beneficial” for players to remain in the game, it just wears out the LEOs and make them not play the game when we have to keep arresting the same person over and over.

Gun System
Perhaps take out the tracers for dev testing only, then see if the hitreg gets better. It took me just over two magazines to kill someone at close range with an AR. It’s getting ridiculous.

9

Tracers were removed at the end of 2022 due to lag but re added since the gunlag was reduced by a lot.

tracers doesnt have an impact in hitreg, tracers been a thing since 2017 in v2 and personally gives a better shooting experience.

Im pretty sure when hitreg doesnt register, its because you are too far away from the person your shooting at (it makes the click sound but health isnt reduced), another reason when this isnt the case is likely due to server lag/client lag

Also, purn said this before but the AR isnt supposed to be used at close range at all (nor to be the first gun used), so thats kinda your fault? ARs are supposed to be long range/aka to shoot from a distance. Switch to the g23 for close range.

^ This kinda goes for other departments like fng, LMG isnt a close range gun but a longer range hence they dont use it face to face (from my expierence against fng)

10

LEOs need to be rewarded. I’m a criminal myself, but from what I’ve seen, there are barely any patrol units playing the game consistently anymore except to meet their quotas on the weekends.

There’s no real reason for patrol officers to actively play the game. Instead of command having exclusive access to the 12-gear cars, I think the most active officers (maybe the top two) from each department each week should be able to spawn them in.

I see patrol units join game then M/A DHS and then leave. There’s a reason DHS wins “Most Active Department” every month, they have the best guns and the best divisions. The game feels like it’s become DHS vs. Criminals.

Regular LEOs have no motivation to pursue cars like the McLaren or F40. Back when I was a cop, I didn’t even bother putting a BOLO on them, it felt pointless. New criminals can now make enough money to buy a Demon or GTR in just 3–4 days. Patrol officers should be able to fairly combat this while keeping things balanced for criminals.

Also, why is committing crimes the only viable way for criminals to make good money? Of course criminals are going to spam robberies when there are just enough LEOs online to rob. Jobs like postal, fishing, burger work, and Rogreens pay peanuts. Postal, for example, makes you drive to one house in Redwood, then Prom, then back to Redwood it’s just not worth it.

Encourage role plays!!!

If @Blastii if up to it she should see if people are role playing and reward with FSD or something unique. LEOs told me that they would do anything for a simple C6 without it being shot up. I mean, they can’t even redirect traffic at a MVA because it just makes them an open target.

I suggest a truck job, just with the box truck is fine. You have to transport stuff across the map and make a fair amount of money. You have to follow laws and stuff.

There should be a one month cooldown of who wins most active, other departments are not motivated if theres only department winning it consistently every month, and it just happens the department thats winning is the one that has the best guns and most to do!

@FedoraMasterB98 This has been suggested before to you so maybe now is a good time to:

I dont wanna keep saying ‘‘clark county’’, but they have this feature already ingame - ofc with a cooldown and requirements (multiple MNG needs to be on) in order for it to work

Having this in v2 will definitely give those on FNG something to do, instead of just sitting at the checkpoint, and crims motivation to try and steal something ‘‘powerful’’, and not just dirty money. FNG just recently got their entire base remade, so perhaps now is a good time to implement it?

Ima recycle this because why not, but let’s bring trucking to v2. I would encourage that you take a look at this for further detail. Forget about the cargo ship stuff because that can be expanded into v3. It’d be neat if we had an industrial district that would contribute to this however with warehouses, lumber yards and all that. Maybe even introduce civilian jobs through all this. We have the vans and we have box trucks but let’s also add semi trucks to v2 as well as a smuggling system as well. Someone mentioned how Clark did this and added a task for with their state police. It would be cool if the state patrol had a similar task for just for this. But anyway, I would look at this suggestion for more detail.

Hello,

For me, V2 needs :

:grinning: / Criminals and citizens need more things to do too, for example: / :grinning:

  • there could be an update to state park with animals for criminals who could resell skins at different prices depending on the animal on the black market.
  • And state bank in prominence is still unfinished, which is a shame because it could offer a new burglary system with a giant safe filled with money.
  • The criminal base could also bring in more people if it offers new things for criminals.
  • add more jobs accessible to citizens such as: cleaning stores by washing the floor (remove waste from the floor, …), more delivery jobs like pizza delivery, hairdresser, cashier, …
  • Make a system so that criminals can steal people’s cars by doing something and car alarms go off when they try to steal a car. (This would add more work for LEO)
  • New cars because we quickly spent our money on all the things on v2 I find, it lacks things where you have to spend your money.
  • a menu called job with all the jobs available to the citizens of firestone and that when you select a job there would be a gps system that would show where the job is located.

:motorcycle: / A new police unit: / :motorcycle:

Many police officers complain that they can’t catch up with criminals who have fast cars, so it would be great to see a new unit open up with motorcycles.

:pizza: / It would be great to see the pizza delivery job added to the game / :pizza:

here are a few ideas for the update:

  • It would be nice if, when we deliver the pizza, we had to ring the doorbell and a person would appear. (like during the Halloween event in 2024).
  • Delivery locations could be in residential areas and apartments.

:oncoming_automobile: / Some vehicles on sale at car dealerships have no picture to represent them / :oncoming_automobile:

it’s a big Problem: :bangbang:
Some vehicles on sale at car dealerships have no picture to represent them. I think it’s a shame because some players don’t really know what kind of car they’re buying. :worried:

:racing_car: / More Vehicles / :racing_car:

  • it would be nice to see new cars in v2, but I don’t think there’s a developer in charge of building cars for v2. Before we still had a few new updates with new cars because there was a lead developer (parrotchattin) who had access to v2 so it would be nice to give car developers the right to work for v2 if they wish from time to time but of course they should continue to work on v3 cars or hire a car developer for v2 only.

:deciduous_tree: / DPW update ideas / :deciduous_tree:

Update to attract more people to DPW:

When we work for DPW we don’t have much interaction to do we only have two interactions available collecting trash and cleaning roads, most of the time we have to rp. So it would be nice to see some updates for DPW.

Here are a few ideas:

  • Make a cleaning system on buildings for DPW, such as removing graffiti from buildings and cleaning dirty windows.
  • Add a sewer truck and make a system where we have to clean the sewers. Sewer covers would be all over the map. Clogged sewers would be indicated by green smoke, indicating that the sewers needed to be unclogged.
  • make a system where we click on dead trees with a chainsaw and they are replaced by healthy ones.

For these ideas, a call system could be set up like for DOT when they have an outage. DPW calls could be marked in pink.

Don’t forget to support if you like the ideas :smile:

Make recognized nations purely DoS-controlled.

The founders controlling recognized nations and states is not only unrealistic, but takes away from the literal purpose of the Department of State when there’s one active recognized foreign body.

Drawback on founder control as a whole.

Establish a State Election Commission to oversee gubernatorial elections!

“this is a department policy issue”

fed this is literally the reason you exist. you are the founder. if you (or path) can step in to remove census questions, or make application failure reasons public information (it generally already was but for the sake of argument), you can step in to save activity by directing a small change in department policy.

  1. Maybe do what Clark does and add semi-trucks in game. Maybe give everyone the ability to buy a box truck but make loggers, tankers, and those mineral trailers business purchasable only. Maybe we can even do the same with construction vehicles. (I know semis are coming to V3 but)
  2. Add the ability to purchase a house or apartment and once you purchase it you will get it furnished. (Nothing crazy just some wall decor and basic furniture)
  3. Make it against the rules to shoot up an RP scene like any public event, traffic stop, investigation, and vehicle crash if you are not apart of it. (Like you can still shoot up if you get pulled over but you can’t be a third party and pull up next to them and shoot it)
  4. If V3 gets cancelled maybe add the train and airport to V2 and redesign the landscape of V2 to look like the more modern one.
  5. Maybe to make it easier for SCFD and DOH add a Mass Casualty Vehicle and give it to SCMS because SCFD has it all already. And while we’re on the topic of DOH. I think it would be better if the SCMS has their own building and make put it up in Greendale or Prom to help response times with SCFD coming all the way from Arbor or Hillview.

My opinion mostly just depends on the status of V3. Personally, I understand why everyone is frustrated with V3s progress but personally I really like the layout and design of V3 over V2. Or maybe it’s just I’ve gotten so bored of the V3 layout already.

Hello, gere are my suggestions on how to make V2 more enjoyable:

  1. Do away with the Hub
    Although V2 is front and center within the hub, make it easier to join game instead of having 5 different games to join and confuse the new guys on which is the actual game to join. I would personally like to see how many people are in a server and if there is multiple servers running before I join a game. It’s just 1 more step that confuses the new guys and probably hurts the amount of new members that join our State.

  2. Add player list to the game
    This allows for civs to see if there are actually LEOs/SCFD/DoH on. The benefit of this would be that criminals and civilians will be able to know who’s in game so that they know if they should even call for help or reset (boosting RP!). For example, if there is no SCFD in game, no civ knows that- SCFD just never shows up to their call. Yes, pager exists but it would be nice to know before wasting your time.

  3. Make becoming a cop quicker & a bit less work
    Get rid of tier exams. Make 1 final exam. Tier sessions 1 hour max (Tier 1 introduction, Tier 2 Courts, Tier 3 Traffic Stops, Tier 4 High Risk Situations). Post has gotten too complicated within the past 5 years and no one wants to go through it anymore. All I have to say is, when I joined POST in V1, I was joined a tier 1 asking “what is POST” and shortly after I was a cop and I actually knew shit. Hell I wrote my hand wrote POST notes down on a notepad.

  4. Modernize V2
    If V3 is not coming out anytime soon, you might as well make what we know better. Add Roblox terrain, actual trees that you can’t drive through, street signs that you can’t drive through, lighting, car’s that break if you smash into a wall, etc.

  5. Allow for Jail time to be served while not in game
    I think that if you are arrested, you should be able to leave game and join back 15 minutes later to no longer being in jail. Having to be in game while serving your sentence on ROBLOX is not fun. For example, if I am a new player and i get arrested, 9/10 times i’m leaving the game out of anger and because I don’t want to sit in a prison. Well, right now when that new player leaves and then rejoins 2 days later, they’re still in prison with 14:59 on their timer which then leads to them leaving again. Although it’s not fun RP for corrections (I know, I was Warden), I think it will be beneficial to retaining new players and overall gameplay for criminals.

As a longstanding member of this community going back to December of 2016 when I graduated POST (Class 12) and became an LEO, there is a special place in my heart for this community. I want to see if strive again. So please, please take what I’ve said and what the other community members have said and really consider it all. I am not a 12 year old running Department of Corrections anymore- I probably shouldn’t even be on this game anymore, but here I am trying to fight for what my childhood consisted of.

Please make V2 enjoyable again. Thank you.
