@Jay I don't know if you fail to realise that speed not only boost the running speed or if you completely didn't mention it for the sake of convenience but speed rather makes the entire game of the person that takes it way faster, making every single of his actions faster ( climbing animations; the time it takes for a grenade to explode; rate of fire; the time it takes for someone to get up after he's got tazed) as a result even if slowed by a shotgun his speed would be almost as fast as a sprinting cop without speed. Now not only that but in 99% of the cases that you do happen to shotgun a criminal with speed he'll fucking mow you down as a result of the increased rate of fire.

Your only hope of arresting a criminal under speed would be for you to literally overwhelm the criminal with more of your cop buddies otherwise it's fucking over.

The points you provided are bad excuses. That or you have no idea how to play as a cop, obviously biased in favor of criminals

It's hard enough to chase a criminal with speed already, this would only make things worse

@Ghost722nd While I agree that refueling cars more often could proove to be be somewhat annoying I do believe that it would also create more gameplay opportunities never seen before. it could also be very fun

The main point I tried to raise with this suggestion is the lack of Civilian activities, let's imagine a completly new scenario, If there was less gas maybe people would use taxis and buses more often, I can see they're barely used nowadays, this again, without almost requiring any new script would require people playing as taxis or buses, giving the civilian a little more "life"

But since the civilian side is as of now barely active let's take a look about what would change for most people gameplay wise, in that case, the cop and criminal sides.

• 
  

  criminals could run out of fuel more often in the middle of a chase and end up getting arrested sooner instead of escaping, I barely saw any criminal run out of fuel while trying to escape the cops, or it could be the cop that run out of fuel.

  
  


• 
  

  With a lack of gas in fuel stations people would relay more on taxi and bus services to get around the map, this would require people playing as these, Yes there are taxis and buses, but again, I barely see any

  
  

I do understand you may not agree with me but seeing people using their car less or just creating a shortage of gas could be fun in a way.

The civilian side, It's great, it has lawyers, priests, taxi drivers, truckers and so on

The problem? As of today I don't think anyone would agree to say it is alive. But don't take my words for granted, let's just see what a typical saes player had to say when asked how he thought the civilian side was going.

Still not convinced? Let's take a look at the current players, right now.

To ease things up we will include both criminals, official gangs, official squads and police into 2 same groups.
At exactly 5:39pm server time on the 18th April there were:

22+43=65 criminals
17+9=26 cops
and 5 civilians

While the criminal side is without a doubt the most active "group" of players on the server, the civilian is barely active at all, not even accounting for 10% of the criminal total players.

I do believe everyone would agree with me that it would be awesome if we could find a way to increase the civilian side activity while also impacting both criminals and cops

Adding more jobs in the civilians would require scripting and programming skills, skills that I unfortunately do not possess.

The solution? A solution that doesn't require any script or programming I wouldn't be able to do anyway.

1 - Increase the fuel consumption of every vehicles ( vehicles with low tank may be given bigger fuel tanks )
2 - Increase the pay of fuel truckers
3 - Increase the price of fuel

Refueling is already part of the server "life", however , I believe that in order to bring a little more "life" to the server and to the civilian side that these changes are necessary

Increasing the fuel consumption of vehicles would force players to both be more careful of their fuel consumption and force them to refuel more often, that would mean gas stations getting empty faster, forcing players to refuel the stations, giving more life to the civilian side while also impacting police and criminal life, who'd need to use gas stations more often.

A civilian refueling his car at the gas pump. A rare sight nowadays

I do understand some of you may oppose the suggestion, however this would be a great opportunity to change all 3 criminal, cop and civilian side gameplay. Let me know what you think.
