Had a little Shikra duel with @Rogmantosh last night, good fun even ghough it ended in a draw

@Travesty The view from my side... i've cut to the last 2 mins

An ambush o the Zeus convoy mission last night, the bridge was set with charges to stop the vehicles but the team decided that they were going to drive around the only choke point, the trigger man had this to say about it. Yes if you look closely that last seemingly random shot was a hit. Nice try guys.

When @Flavi manages to destroy a jet without even taking off... EDIT: To be fair, this is a bug and not @Flavi's fault, but his recent run with crashing aircraft came to mind when I made this

Hey all, As some of you may be aware I have been working hard at work on a few different things with different officers, this post is going to serve as the notice and announcement of those changes. Included will be some key points to remember. Something that I want to put up first is a little description of certain ranks and roles. First up I will speak briefly about the CO's and TL's, and what is expected of them. This will be a very brief description to hopefully help with some confusion going around. Commanding Officer (CO) The CO is in charge of the General Duty officers that are online, entirely. No one can over-rule his decision as he is solely in charge. As the CO you are required to ensure the General Duty officers are working efficiently and appropriately. Team Leader (TL) The Team Leader is in charge of a subdivision at any given time, entirely. No one can over-rule his decision as he is solely in charge. Divisions will include SRT and Detective. As the TL you are required to ensure that your team is following protocol and completing tasks that they perform and assisting general duties when requested (If you deem is appropriate) The CO and TL's MUST co-operate, for all intents and purposes the CO is in higher authority than any of the TL's regardless of rank. However, the CO is expected to listen to and respect the opinion of the TL's. The CO and TL are responsible for their own members only. Moving on to police ranks. The Database has an accurate representation of rank distribution: 1 Commissioner 1 Deputy Commissioner 3 Assistant Commissioners 1 Chief Superintendent 3 Superintendents ? Inspectors Commissioner: Responsible for the entire APD, and works closely with the Deputy. He is responsible for cabinet promotions, Assistant Commissioner to Commissioner (if he steps down). Deputy Commissioner: Works and performs duties on behalf of the Commissioner and the APD, he is responsible for all promotions from Senior Sergeant to Chief Superintendent. Assistant Commissioner: The Assistant Commissioners when we have some, will be working closely with the Deputy Commissioner and Commissioner on releasing updates and changes to the force. There can only be at most, 3 Assistant Commissioners Chief Superintendent: There is only one Chief Superintendent, and he is the highest ranking General Duties officer. The Chief Superintendent is responsible for ensuring the command team and General Duty officers are functioning and working together. The Chief Superintendent is also responsible for punishment and blacklisting. Managing and dealing out punishment including blacklisting, warnings and strikes is the prerogative of the Chief Superintendent, the rest of the command team must be assigned this privilege by the Chief Superintendent only. Superintendent: Superintendents will be in charge of maintaining a single division (SRT, POLAIR, Detective) along with working together to improve the force as a whole. Inspector: Inspectors vary in responsibilities and they are defined by the Chief Superintendent, they can follow one or two of several paths; Administration, Recruitment, Training or Commanding. Administration - Works with the Chief Superintendent and Deputy on improving the protocol and maintaining documents Recruitment - Deals with whitelist applications and ensures ride-along's are performed correctly, also promotes to Constable if permitted. Training - Creates, Edits, and performs training with the assistance of the Chief Superintendent Commanding - Usually a hard role to achieve, an inspector specializing in commanding is usually someone who excels at the role of a CO on general duties or a TL in a division. To start off with the changes, the Polair division has been under some works and should be released with the next server update hopefully by the end of the week. Polair will consist of 3 ranks on the database that allow pilots to use bigger aircraft as they increase. Here is the list: 1 - Hummingbird (Transport, Operations) 2 - Unarmed Hellcat (Transport, Operations, Observation) 2 - Mohawk (Transport) 3 - Blackfish inf + veh (Transport) 3 - Huron (Transport, Orperations) As a QOL change we have changed the default loadout for all officers to add the following: - 5.56mm rifle (Mk20c) - 3 x 5.56mm STANAG - 5 x 5.56mm Knockdown - Police Vest - Carryall olive I have also worked on some balancing of police gear, equipment, vehicles and weaponry. Mostly high-end changes or SRT gear, anyway, here is the list. - Fixed the player tags for level 8 and 9 (Chief Superintendent and Cabinet) - Removed all suppressors from GD - Removed LIM - Removed SPMG - Added Pilot coveralls to Pilots - Added MK200 to SRT member and Chief Superintendent - Added Navid to SRT Specialist - Added Ghosthawk for SRT Specialist (Transport, Operations) - Changed Full ghillie to being only accessible by SRT specialist from Inspector - Changed SRT multi cam to SRT trainee from detective - Changed Spec-ops uniform to SRT member from SRT trainee - Changed Pilot helmet (Gas Mask Grey) to Pilot from Sergeant - Changed Requirements for Nato Berets to Chief Superintendent - Changed Requirements for Colonel Berets to Cabinet - Changed Spec-ops helmet from Chief Inspector to SRT member For a test period to identify how money flows around on the police force I have changed the bounty reward to the following. 10% of total bounty, with a minimum bounty of $20,000 (So you would get 10% of $20,000 which is $2000) Hunters can be purchased instead of just rented, this is because GD will solely be using hunters. Striders have been left in as we are still figuring out how we want to use them. The SRT air store has been changed to require SRT levels to fly instead of pilot levels, however, SRT still must complete the correct training prior to flying. In other news we are still working on detective and the ETA for that is ~ a month currently, look out for more information about it on the forums. Mitch has been put in charge of training and will start working on some course to be completed for officers advancing up the ranks. He will be looking out for those that excel in leadership and work well with others, and will be offering them an opportunity to assist with creating and running the training courses. Depending on how well the training goes there may be more promotions than usual next meeting! I have also been working on re-writing the protocol (SOP as of current) to try and set a clear guide for all officers. the current SOP is a complete mess and doesn't contain information for 90% of your daily duties and what rules you should be following. With the introduction of the new Protocol there will be a grace period for most of the rules on there, allowing some time to adjust. There will also be a lot of changes being made initially as more things I have missed come to light and are added in. I'll keep these to bulk changes mostly and put out update notices, so don't worry about constantly checking the document. I will be updating this post with a link to the protocol when I have finished the core of it. I am more aware of ongoing issues within the force that need to be sorted, and I am hoping that with the release of the protocol some of these issues may resolve themselves. For anything that isn't cleared up or requires immediate attention, please make sure you bring it up with either Wex or myself (Myself if you are not able to talk to Wex) and we will try to help you out. Please do remember that you are all on the same side, and should be working together to better the force. Those that refuse to work with others and overcome differences will be promptly removed. If you do need to get in touch with me, either message me on the website or on teamspeak if you can find me. This thread will remain open for discussion.

Lads, As we all know I've been in the commissioners office this past week. Working on the cop force is my number one goal. We have started to put together SRT team again and our air units (Polair). Over the next week we will start to run drills and get us all working as a team for fed and the big raids. I have noted a few things that will be changing and I miss the good old days. So fuck it lets bring back the old days... What am I changing to bring back old straya? Big guns shops... I have gone around asking street pricing of current big guns so yes they will still be expensive. It wont be open 24/7 tho aiming for a population cap before u can open it. Moving a bank out of Sydney Moving court out as it was chaos the other night Jets Shop Cop force training Events (by myself I will do 1 a week) Staff I will be spending some time retraining the staff. There will be a set day that we go over player interaction. How to use there guide correctly as its a guide and more as a correct judgement call. This will have less people to the help desk over small issue. Over the next month I will be relooking suggestions to see if it will all fit in... I am also looking for some suggestions on events and if your dedicated to running them. Cheers LuckyB33f

The jet coming in looked awesome

Never give up! Never surrender! The last tempest survived till the end!

start the first vid at about 3:04 and the second straight away if you want to watch the fight at the same time

We see a lot of talk here about the guns not being to street value, yet no one has really made any suggestions to what street value is. Looking at the economy of StrayaGaming Altis Life, there is a total of $8,916,824,486.00 in the economy. Now, there has been a total of 13,992 unique players on the server. If we do some basic math here, we find that each player holds an average of $637,280 per player. So, taking into account that there are players who join the server and then leave almost instantly, or players who have had account wipes etc. So, lets take another sample of the average players account. For example, I will take 10 random players, add their bank accounts together and we'll see an average amount of money from there. From these ten samples, I got a total of $122,116,438 So, the average amount of money from these 10 samples is 12.2 million. So is a cost of 3-4million for a Lynx or Navid really that unrealistic. Yes. its a quarter of the average for those 10 peoples cash, but that just speaks as to the rarity of the firearm. They are not meant to be easily obtained for almost any person to be able to get easily. Its a high risk item with great reward if used properly.

How much fuel, because at the moment we get about 5 minutes of flight time before we have to find a gas station or land and refuel. It should be at least 30 minutes up in the air.
