All people that react to the post will be listed down and added to a list.

Follow this thread to be notified of any updates to Invade & Annex. If you have any Suggestions feel free to post them here. To report a bug, post here. The server has been updated to Quiksilver's newly released Apex Framework. This is the same framework that the Tanoa server has been using. Currently the Altis server is set to run Classic AOs. Sector Control AOs, like those on Tanoa, will be trialled sometime this week. Note that to reduce the mission size, Area 51 is currently missing most of the usual textures. The previous skins along with some cool new ones will be readded when any major bugs/issues are fixed and all changes are fully implemented. There are many new features and improvements compared to the previous version. Things you are most likely to notice include: Improved performance New and improved AOs More than just HQ and Radiotower! Enemy mortar pits and helicopters actually attack players New and improved Side missions Improved AI Small popup missions such as Arrest HVT, Medevac, Prisoner evac Intense Kavala/Georgetown urban AOs New CAS/fighter pilot system If you join as a Fighter Pilot, you will have 3 aircraft per restart. You will be given better Aircraft depending on how high your Transport score is. This scales through the week. Players need at least 2 hours total playtime on the server (either Tanoa or Altis) to access a Pilot slot. Vehicle activation system New medical system Fast roping New Y32 skin for the unarmed regularly spawning one The official feature list is as follows: Should also be noted that a few familiar things may have been changed back to how they were a while ago or are missing altogether. These are mostly minor things, so they will be addressed later on.

Name: Mr Miller [Miller Martinez] Callsign: K15W Rank: Senior Constable Training Completed By: Josh Why do you deserve a promotion? (50 Words min) I believe i deserve this promotion because though my time on General duties has decreased a lot I Believe that i have the experience and knowledge to take a further step in the cop force and because a Sergeant. Because of my long time experience on the server and as a cop i have seen it go through hard and easy times and i have been lucky enough to say i've been through it, because of this i have taken note of higher ranks and how they act and show there experience and skill leading the cop force so i know how to act and how not to act. I by far understand that my record of disciplinary actions will have a large take in my application but i believe that i have changed and if i become a sergeant i will know that the higher up still believe in me and i can try harder and show that i can make a difference in the force and its officers.

As you guys would probably already know I have been coming up with some ideas for a new police checkpoint within Sydney city limits on this post. A lot of feedback was given back and opinions told on this thread, after taking inspirations from Google Images I came up with this, there is a poll to vote about it at the top of this thread and also let me know your thoughts and any feedback below. If you vote "No" please let me know why below.

I think the green military 'bunker' thing, should be removed. To me it looks a little out of place, but if there are no other alternatives, then its a +1 from me.

I definitely think that's the right sort of idea, we could have customs signs down the road perhaps warning of the checkpoint (not sure if that's possible but i'm sure it is, we have custom uniforms and stuff?) We would need to do multiple versions of that specific idea to find one that would look the best and also function the best but that is the sort of idea I am thinking about. Also, when there are no police online civilians can just have the gates open and go through without having to go through a 100 metre long military checkpoint lmao. That is a great location too, just on the edge of the city meaning police can monitor the entry and exit to syd. It is also not a claustrophobic checkpoint allowing people to move around.

Time to stock up on my Role-Play-Gun-7s

Name: d0nk Callsign: [K29W] Date of Disciplinary Action: When I left SRT so early November. What Disciplinary Action was placed against you: Blacklisted from SRT Who were you Disciplined by: Wex? Reason for Disciplinary Action against you: Joined and left too many times. Why the appeal should be accepted: I'm sick of rebel honestly, and I'm not having any fun within that side of the game anymore. I want to be unblacklisted from SRT to prove that I can stay loyal to the Cop Force and show that I am a good officer. I miss being in SRT as I believe it is a good training for teamwork and leadership within the cop force and real life. I enjoy being in SRT and if given one more chance I don't see myself leaving again, I will stay loyal and not just leave back to my gang like I always do. All I ask is for one more chance as I believe that a blacklist for joining and leaving 3 times over the course of 12 months is a bit ridiculous. So all I ask for is one more chance, thank you for reading. Any other information: No

(50 Words min) I am a dedicated officer of the APD, I am on most days and spend a lot of time on the server. I am doing my best to suggest things and have shown that I am passionate on making the force better. I have shown I am a good commanding officer and feel like if I am a sergeant I can help others improve and make the communications/flow of the force a lot better.

I honestly think if it was re-located it would have to take sometime for everyone to remember to slow down near the Checkpoint as people such as Public slots / people that are new to the server would just crash and die . If the Checkpoint was relocated into inside of City limits it would just cause everyone to drive around it instead of actually going through it. Recently as I have been involved with some temporary Checkpoints , they are honestly not that good , for a couple of reasons , even though the APD does advise the Medics through the dispatch , not all but some Medics decide to speed around where the Checkpont is set up causing them to die as well as their vehicle to explode killing anybody in the 10 metre vicinity. I would finally like to give some big credit towards Zorgain for his great concept for a new Police Checkpoint. One thing I wouldn't mind seeing put into this concept is perhaps a parking space of some sort for a Chase car for anyone driving around or avoiding the Checkpoint . Thanks for reading .

No there's not, I was struggling to find space for it.

Love the simplicity, is there external parking on the south side? would be needed for pursuits

Can confirm I did not blacklist you, all I said was you should play civilian before cop to make yourself familiar with the game.

Sweet as, this is pretty much what I had in mind. It's simple, unobtrusive and allows for evasion. Only issue I really see with it is the top part, the part that provides shade (ifyaknowwhatimean.) I wonder if there is an alternative for that as I feel like if it were all black it would look more professional or if there are other props that can replace that top part. There may not be as we can only use vanilla arma assets but this is still awesome and is both realistic and practical. Thumbs up

this looks amazing

Moving the checkpoint inside city limits who is going to take the checkpoint over now?

The Giveaway will be drawn in 7 Days!

Didn't even know they had moved weed proc thought they only moved drug dealer so yeah I get where you're coming from. However, I still believe my initial points remain that there should be the possibility of checkpoint evasion and capture, i'm sure you agree with me there. We're the police not the military so we do not need 10 meter high walls around our checkpoint and it should be simple more or less how they are in real life.

There are back roads from Agios, where weed is located, down to the dealer and processor. Players know that there is a risk to illegal activities, to me it seems like you're saying let the civilians just do runs because they're new? If I were to not have tags and pretend I was new then I could get free roam of weed? There is a risk/reward system with weed, people won't do the drug if they don't want to risk losing everything.

The majority of people who do weed runs are new players because it's the safest drug run imo and those are the people who are going to be affected by this new change the most. I guess they will learn quickly about the back streets to enter neri but what's to say that there won't be cops set up or patrolling those roads? People join daily and want to do illegal runs and all i'm saying is we need to think about the impact this new change will have on those players. I mean honestly I don't really care about it too much and I even agree with the proposed change however I believe we need to think about how it would feel to join just a server and survive being decced and shot at weed field to then get busted on the main road into sydney. I only play cop so like I said doesn't affect me negatively however we need to think about the impact on the community and especially new players.

When police enforce new operations or target new areas. Criminals don't ask for help from the 'gods' (well, some probably do), but my point is, instead they adapt. If PC1 actually becomes a feared place (i doubt it will), rebels and the like can simply avoid it. Relocating/Redesigning PC1 will only help the server.

Personally, my opinion on the matter is that checkpoint 1 does need a redesign, however some factors that pezza forgot to add from a server point of view. How much protection does it provide for the occupying faction? (From a 360 view) Second how much stuff is there to place? (Will this cause players to drop significant frames) And lastly what effect will this have on new players, will it seem as an inconvience or something that they have to worry about? Thanks guys

PLUS 1 deserves a promotion so Sargent
