with the new phone i have a few apps in mind to add.
you can rearrange your phone apps and could make add app folders if more apps come to the phone
- eBay: where people can sell their cars without having their messages surrounded by twitter spam
- Instagram: people can post photos of what they're doing and what they've seen
- yelp: people can review restaurants or PDM/SSS service
- text group chats: get a group of friends into a private text channel or do totally illegal planning
- whitelisted jobs/business: could get an app that has notifications for when they are open, closed, on duty, or unavailable


other server suggestions:
- turn Benny's into a functioning auto shop with wide body kits for cars that actually give you offset wheels to look good, could have custom liveries as well.
if you have any question msg me on disc Lynx#7169

None of those were really bad ideas tbh

so after looking online if the server were to ever do something with bennys this is what they should add
https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/jdm-rims-pack
 
The rims unfortunately were added at one time, however, they had embedded 4k textures in them that we were unable to remove due to files being locked.
The rest we will look into, however, we have a lot on our plate with new content about to hit. Keep an eye out.

Thanks for reply, I'm super excited for new content to the server keep up the good work dev team.
 
I think our server should add a street racing script so that you can do lap races instead of the point A to point B that is in the city currently. The way it is in other servers is that its an app on the phone and there is tons of different races around the map/city, and all you do is go up to it and use the app to start a race. This would make more fun for cops who I know like pursuits and it gives more for criminals to do. This can be a way to make money by betting on yourself to win the race. I thin this help both sides of crims and cops because cops enjoy to chase criminals and it gives crims much more to do besides robbing banks all day.

Also I think the way car health is done in the city needs to be changed. I think that body health should be what breaks first and then engine health after that. This is how Nopixel does it and I think it adds more use for body repair kits instead of everyone using both body and engine repair kits. This would also give Rp to SSS who can sell regular repair kits at higher prices than before, since they are much more useful. When your body health breaks, all your tires pop and you need to use a regular repair kit. if you crash multiple times then the body health can break down and you would need to use an advanced repair kit. I think the overall number of crashes it takes to break a car should go way up, so that when you hit a stop sign you car doesn't decide to die on the spot, and only will with serious damage.

Alongside this the car inventory HUD should be changed to how house inventory is and regular inventory too. this makes it easier to navigate the inventory and lets you drop items for other player or if you want to dispose of something. If the car inventory is changed I think that Nos cans should be added to the city. These should not be easy to obtain and for racers only for the most part. I think no super or hyper car should be able to use Nos for obvious reasons and mist of those engines are not easily accessible and really don't get tuned after factory work. I think all JDM, muscle and most Sedans or SUVs should allow Nos, but some obvious car would be a no just cause of realism. Ex, you are not gonna Nos a range rover or a Tahoe but you might a BMW or Audi. This gives police more rp since they can arrest people who are using Nos and makes it more valuable if it can get taken. New laws can be made about Nos can too. I know that this server already had tuner chips and tuner computers, but I think it should be added again. I think all cars could have a lowered stock/upgraded speed and that they should have a slightly higher top speed with the right tune. This means if you want to make your car go as fast as possible you might have to lose on braking or it will take lots of time to tune your car perfectly. This makes criminals be smarter about what they drive and makes them take time to tune the car to what they want. This would also be useful to local cars which might be used more for robberies if you can tune them faster so they can compete. You could add harnesses to car to ensure the most protection and fix the thing where if your passenger you fall out of the car randomly if your seatbelt isn't on.

Add a wheel pack to the city that are compatible with wide body cars. This is more realistic and they could even cost more money that the regular ones since they are special. This help cars to look cooler and to be more realistic with a wider tire selection.

I think if some of these things are added there will be much more for criminals to do in the city and new ways for them to make money. This adds room for cops also who could make new laws to fit these new rules.

I agree with 90% of the ideas in this post.

Personally i have also wanted a racing script for a while, however i have hosted LAP races in the past and they worked perfectly fine without a script, I understand it would be nice to have but in my opinion it is not needed and betting could also be done with the way the server is currently set up

With the inventory things I agree 100% inventory's should be changed to the housing system and if possible more icons should be added to this.

The idea of Nos, again i like the idea however with Gta's driving scripts it wouldnt work too well if it was a mod however in game vehicles such as the Lectro use their own version of Nos that is charged by breaking, if this could be modified and put into a nos item for temporary use it may work, however it may bring out more bad situations than good

Wheel and tire pack - YES
 
I like the idea of NOS and tuner chips but you'd have to slow the existing cars down.

Currently since it's fairly easy to acquire vehicles that do 200+mph adding nos and tuner chips would make the constant speeding and people getting upset over speeding worse. From the police side of view from the chat we all had last night in the meeting this would create a complete nightmare for the police. Why stop for the police when I can simply hit NOS and fly down the highway at 240mph+?

With the economy being the way it is, everyone has a supercar. I think this is one of the biggest issues with the city and why the police get upset. We don't need MORE speed, we need more balance and a different meta entirely when it comes to vehicles. I don't mean take peoples cars for breaking speed limits but adding benefits to using different vehicles for different situations. With a different inventory system the weight in cars can be adjusted per car. Your two door coupe may not be able to carry anything compared to you full sized SUV and a supercar can carry a few kilos but nothing more. Items also carry their own weights. You may have 20 slots in the inventory that are free but a max capacity of 20kg and a bag of fertilizer could be 20kg making it able to store one item regardless of how many slots there are.

The way Racing is done on nopixel is actually really cool (yes it's all illegal racing) they actually have leagues set up that you earn rep. points in. you get X amount of points for participating and bonus points for winning. They use racing rep points to get perks like... the illegal mods for your vehicles are cheaper and this mechanics shop because they sponsor the league or you can buy tuner chips/nos etc. This adds a lot more RP for police and people who like racing. There are MULTIPLE shops that run leagues and whatnot. There is also a app on the phone for setting the races up that allows everyone to see the map (with checkpoints that are recorded) to prevent any sort of cheating. ****THIS SHOULD ALSO BE DONE IC AND VERY UNDERGROUND!!!! not advertised on twitter etc. Should start small and grow with time as more people find out about it IN CHARACTER.

The issue I see currently is that the community is too small to do these things. We do not have a big enough police force, tying all the officers up for one race prevents other things in the city from happening. we do not have enough civilians, having 90% of the city show up to a race because there's nothing else going on is great, but the other 10% are left driving around wondering what they are supposed to do. We do not have enough businesses, we don't have enough places that can sponsor illegal racing leagues. SSS has contracts with the PD and throw sanctioned, legal events. We just don't have the population to have a need for multiple mechanic shops etc.
 
I agree with all things here and I think that if they change the way car health work, then street racing will fell so much better and you wont be wiping out due to a stop sign or street pole. Also if they add a script it help make races fair with checkpoints and GPS systems of the route/lap.

I like the idea of changing the way inventory works because if feels really outdated and annoying to use. If they add tuner chips to the city if would be cool to mess with braking force and make your car speed and handling what you like, not what your given and Nos could be cool to add if it is done right, every car is determined yes or no to Nos before it is added and we don't have Ageras with Nos blasting it down the highway.

I think police would enjoy getting to try and stop street races and police chase's are always fun. The idea of a wheels packs is really cool to me and would really help with cars that have widebody options.
