Improved Gang Systems and Features #302

Suggestion Description

A new and improved advanced gang system for the server.

Reason

Currently with the state of gang roleplay, it is taking a turn for its worst. With all the recent and many gang disbandments, this leaves the server with not much roleplay for gangs to produce to one another, as well as in a respectful manner, many people can agree that the gang scene is very very stale and has been for a while. Currently, gangs have no reasons to interact with each other, fight each other, etc. Weapons systems, and turf standards have already been set for most gangs therefore this leaves any group with nothing to work for within the server. My suggestion is to sort of leave any ideas people can create in order for gangs to become more active around the server as they are quite essential to have. Although it is not original, a suggestion I can come up with includes turf sprays. Not only will groups be able to claim their turf with sprays but may wish to expand if necessary. Gangs may contest for certain areas with sprays that may intervene with other gangs, however obviously the group wishing to expand may have a solid reason to do so and not just because they would like more room of turf. Turf sprays can also help balance the current economy as you could set the price for a spray can to be bought from the ranges of $250-300k. A device to view all the current turfs could be used through the laptop with a certain gang USB or something along the lines of that. Each member of a gang can also be placed on the software of the laptop, this can include their information so gun plugs can reach out from there avoiding the whole discord RP with the current gun plug. Additionally, a map can be showcased on the laptop software that presents the whole map of the city with each of the gangs’ turfs. 1 spray could represent a certain size of a circle. With this system, this allows gangs to stay on top of their shit to make sure any trouble they get caught up in doesn’t lead to other gangs taking their turf or claiming their sprays. To also add, make the system have a function where in order to claim an area already sprayed from another gang, there must be a process of wiping the spray down which can take a while, then having a process of spraying the spray where needed. Have it so whatever gang spray is being wiped, that gang is notified about it via phone notification or whatever as long as they are connected with the app on the laptop via gang USB. Although this suggestion may sound very GP > RP, this still opens more opportunities for gangs to be around, and I think overall it is a very clean system as long as it is ran and monitored highly and well. An alternative suggestion I can also lead too is scrapping the entire Gunplug as a whole, and to have certain gangs run certain benches. For example, Triads or Seadogs running a weapon bench, FSM running a malicious USB bench, a certain SS gang or MC running a thermite bench, etc. The opportunities are endless.

Additional context

Feel free to leave other suggestions attatched or even improvised features on what i’ve suggested. I just morally believe that the current gang scene within the server is super stale and could use some new systems and features. (:

Point 1. Gang RP has felt really stale for the longest time, but I can’t fault the gangs for it. Most of the ones who try something unique and creative have to kind of fall into a certain system just to survive. With gangs spinning over the smallest and dumbest reasons it’s always felt really GP heavy. The issue with the spray system is eventually the biggest gangs control 80% of the city and no new crews can pop up. Echo has gangs in very close proximity in good relations with each other and this artificially adds a reason for them to beef. I would love to see gangs have the ability to provide minor things to the crime scene, even if it’s just pistols/Hacking devices/ATM hacking devices rather then all the NPCS but solely if the gangs had the ability and didn’t have to rely on an outside force.

Point 2. gun plug as a whole and always felt yucky to me

@Lane2G i understand point 1 and completely agree, however I believe that with the “little things” that gangs spin over, those are not valid enough to be able to claim sprays from other gangs in my opinion and should be considered LQRP. I think a mentionable counter to your point regarding top gangs claiming 80% of the map, a feature could be implemented where cops are able to wipe these sprays as well and they can have up to the whole force defending them from any attacks from gangs. I also believe that people must take into consideration that gangs won’t be around the city 24/7 or at least “deep” 24/7, making it easier at certain times to claim your area back where regardless if the opposing gang is notified, they lack force to attempt a counter.
