Takes about 6 hits already with half the sousse on the server these days

Good Evening!

Tonight marks the end of this summers Community Staff/SAHA recruitment.

First off, we would like to thank everyone who expressed any interest in the advertised roles.

Whilst we'd love to accept lots more of you, unfortunately we can only choose a select few. If you were overlooked this time around, don't be disheartened and remember that there is always next time as we constantly require new staff to help us out as people move up in roles or move on with their lives.

Speaking of new roles, lets take the chance to say a massive congratulations to our new SAES probies which are there to fill the the small hole left in clan member activity as few have moved on.

Congratulations to @MrSolrac @Yoko @Durby @Versace @Velo. Soon enough you'll be able to bother them all for your donation requests!

Onto the recruitment results, lets welcome the following new Community Staff members to fill the void left by the above promotions.

Congratulations to @hessan210 @Strong @Curny @PaiN500 @Hotfire @niceez

And lets welcome the following individuals into the SAHA team:

Congratulations to @Sou @Bisollini @Anas_ @xBlue @Yannick

In addition to the recruitment results this evening, we also had a good number of events ingame!

Our first event was a bring the tractor to The White House. After a huge amount of conflict, the tractor eventually arrived at the destination after an hour!
Congratulations to @Aprix for winning. Enjoy you 20m and 10 donation points!

Our second event was a kill @Brophy event through his protection and 50,000 hp!
Congratulations to @Juby for taking away 15 donation points!

Our third side event was guess the recruitment results via the form advertised ingame.
Congratulations to @Anas_ for taking away 10 mil. He guessed a total of 8/9 individuals correctly. Sadly nobody guessed 9/9!

We'll be looking to do a few more of these events on a more regular basis so keep an eye out for those!

Have a good one!
~SAES Team

Weapon storing has also been patched for none Trainees.

Stinger fix also pushed.

Thanks for spotting.

@General said in Police Team Balance Changes!:

@Kain What about PC members getting stars? can we make them not get stars while spawned as a non-PC cop?

Or should Sheriff be kept for PC, deputy sheriff for public spawn, and sergeant for SAPD?

I think it's a simpler, and good idea if we, PC members don't get stars in these spawns.

Police Detective has been added to all counties and I would recommend choosing that for now.

If this is something, more people want then feel free to suggest it

Was about to suggest it, radio must be locked to PC/Squads only or it's gonna be a mess.

Weapons aswell can be stored in disks so it might be abused.

And setting speedtraps, barriers and stingers should be either locked to specific spawn or just PC .. prefer if just PC imo.

and ye PC can get wanted if spawned as non-PC spawn.

Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback.

I would like to try and keep the radio as is, any abuse of the radio will lead to mutes.
More communication is always better.

Speedtrap we would like to keep public as this is under utilised currently.

Barriers/Stingers will remain locked to PC. (A fix will be be pushed to stingers).

Getting wanted on a non-PC spawn is also an intended feature.

Good Evening!

It's no secret that the police team has been made largely redundant for quite a while now with very little people spawned aside from the odd new player and eager squad recruit.

We have deduced that one of the primary reasons for this is the lack in variety due to a large quantity of the spawns being "locked" behind the ProCops qualification.

Consequently, the SAPD team have put together a number of changes in an attempt to both increase the variety and motivation in playing as a police team member which is more appealing to both new players and non-squad players alike.

These changes primarily feature increasing the availability of the previously locked ProCops spawns while also trying to maintain the value that holding a ProCops qualification once held.
