With the vast amount of vehicles in GTA V, and with the ability to add more, I think that we should do something a bit different with vehicle dealerships this time around. I'll extrude my idea into bullet points to try and get the idea across clearly. Car dealerships would be owned by players. Will be server owned until players purchase them. Dealerships can be physical places, websites, or a combination of both. Dealership owners will have a minimum and maximum price that they can display a vehicle for. This is so that individual players not selling through a dealership will still be able to undercut dealerships to sell second hand cars to other players. Car sales will be heavily taxed so that money still leaves the server (Required to keep our economy stable as we have money being generated and added to our econmy from other sources). Car dealership owners will only receieve a very small percentage of the actual vehicle sale. Each car dealership will have a maximum number of vehicles that can displayed in their catalog, different for each dealership depending on size/location. It wouldn't be abnormal for a large dealership to display 100+ vehicles with the number of vehicles that we have in gta v. Dealership owners will be able to select (within an IG UI) which vehicles they would like to display in their dealership. This can only be done once per month, but does not need to be changed if the dealership owner doesn't want to. This will be roleplayed as the dealership owner ordering in new vehicles for the next month, and allows players to know that a vehicle that they are looking at will still be available for at least some time. This means that players will need to browse dealerships to find a car that they like. Dealerships would try to sell the top selling cars which would be popular, this would make it so that other more obscure vehicles will become rarer as they wouldn't be seen in dealerships often. With this, it would increase the price for resales on these rarer vehicles for the second-hand market. Players will be able to roleplay with dealership business owners, requesting that the dealership orders in a vehicle they might be looking for (Each dealership would have a different waiting time depending on when they last refreshed their stock), thus creating a competing "order fee" between dealerships. Roleplay as a whole around car dealerships and the second-hand car market will be improved by building our car dealerships and vehicle economy like this.

have a server owned system which sells new vehicles, and implement urs as a second hand dealership that allows players to put their collection on display and sell them. bcs while in theory i like the concept of all vehicles, including the heavily taxed new ones in ur proposal, being sold solely through players im worried that power issues akin to the strawman system would take place and they'd end up being distributed on a friends-first basis

Hell yea, if owners will be able to set their prices and be able to also sell used cars, if they wish to.

This is not too bad, at all. It would add some more realism to it all. And the fact that you have to explore different dealerships and possibly placing an order for the vehicle you really want and then having to actually wait for it to arrive makes every vehicle just a bit more exclusive as you might not have that car in stock with every dealership around. Including truckers would be a nice addition as well. Would be nice to see in the server.

This is our current stance on players without a microphone, which is unfortunately not going to change: As for the usage of VOIP, it has been answered multiple times. We have nerfed ourselves as a faction and continuously look what we can do to maintain that balance. Our goal is providing quality police role-play, while maintaining an effective in-character police department. VOIP is heavily moderated by experienced senior faction members and we do not condone it being overused. We are going to be continuing to moderate it heavily and using it, alongside the Los Santos Sheriff's Department. Both factions have been moderating this for years since 2018, and we continue to do so. I suggest you send a suggestion to Server Management regarding the usage of VOIP in LEO factions, if you really want to see it gone. For returning players who have yet to experience our changes and had bad interactions with our faction, I can only hope that our faction’s role-play standards and changes can make up for the past! We've re-introduced Robbery and Homicide Division. We are also looking into opening forensic positions for players, it depends on the script and how detailed it will be though. @bobster and @lynx should be able to get into more detail about this with you. I suggest that you conduct your own research in regards to the inner workings of American law enforcement agencies. Numerous bodycam videos can show you exactly what you are describing as unrealistic behavior, that being officers calling out the situation and their location immediately upon returning fire, or during the gunfight. Their objective during emergency situations is to call the situation out and get their colleagues to come help them, rather than 'eliminating the threat' solo like Rambo, or 'running away' from an emergency incident with the risk of getting shot in the back. LAPD's Youtube channel may help you out with understanding how these agencies work.

Your primary objective during a gunfight is getting out alive and eliminating the threat before making the radio transmission or pressing the emergency button. Your first reaction must be returning fire or running for safety; not transmitting your callsign, location, description, and other potentially crucial information. Once the threat is eliminated there's no longer a need to utilize TeamSpeak and the scenario continues through official text channels. It's outright unrealistic behavior and should be treated as such.

Let’s just say don’t forget the poker system when you guys lunch the server

That's a pretty solid suggestion, it will totally enhance both the second hand car dealerships and the brand new ones. I like the point of the availability that means that at certain times there won't be new vehicles of certain brand that would totally change the demand and supply of the used ones in the second hand market. I'm totally in favor.
