Possibly an activity that if completed it reduces your sentence? For example while in prison you could be tasked to pick a certain amount of an item (maybe like fake rubbish or something) and for good behaviour (completing the task) you get an amount of time cut off your sentence. We could also have it that you can continuously do the task in prison while serving out your sentence, progressively reducing it. Rather than serving say 30mins you could end up only serving 15mins because you have spent the 15mins actually doing something in prison like picking up rubbish. Let me know what you think, just an idea

Alright so I've posted this in the past but my post request got denied as usual. With the new update in full swing, I still find it ridiculous that there is still absolutely nothing to do in jail. If you're replying with "well don't do rebel things," what else is there to do in the server, like honestly. Other than pick peaches, of which I've done for multiple hours, the majority of things to do on the map are rebel/illegal things. I've been sent to prison for 30 minutes and there's nothing to do but sit afk. And may I remind some people that not all of us are rich, so chopper's or prison escapes aren't an option. There's no logical reasons that I can see to not add something in to counter this issue. If you're asking us to sit and jail and "roleplay" for half an hour, I think you need to re-think your strategies... Anyone agree with this? What do you think that they could add that would be entertaining and viable? I was thinking something like mining that could also give you (reduced) money. At least it would stop the monotony of prison. Lets try and make some idea's that could give admins options for future updates.

Remake Jail and add places you can search for items if you get bolt-cutters (low chance) you will be able to break into the jail locker and start a jail takeover. Once you hit the button to start said takeover you will be equipped with a load out to defend yourself against cops. After you gain your loadout you will be given a timer if you hide or defend yourself until the time runs out you will be tped out to a safe place (random bus stop around the map). ez clap.

How to use the mortar like a professional To place a mortar, have the base backpack on your back and place the tube pack on the ground, then use the scroll menu option on the pack on the ground to build it. To fire without using the arty computer, just use the scope like this. Aim at a target and press F until the diagonal lines are gone. Now we can see there is a value for ELV, which is elevation of the mortar tube, and REL, which is the required elevation to hit the target. Just use page up and down to adjust the elevation until the values are as close as possible. Then fire and you should be right on target i was hitting short, but I adjusted the elevation down a bit and it made me shoot a bit further. You could fire smoke until the spotter reports you are on target, and then fire HE for effect. This will also work with a 155mm as well. But for I&A, we are concentrating on using a mortar. But this is only for LOS shooting. This should help you out if you are wanting to use the mortar and are interested in using it without the arty computer. BTW, this is a real life mortar computer. https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/23-91/ch6.htm

The changes to the FOB needed are quite simple. Some servers I play on have some of these things in them & it seems to work quite well; No need to have tanks spawn here. It's a FOB in a small scale engagement. Instead, have the BOBCAT spawn here to be able to support forward moving heavy vehicles. Once the Medical crate/HEMTT has set up the spawn tickets, they count up on a timer till the hit a designated max points. Once the players spawn there the counter starts back up. No set AA should be here as it would mean that the enemy wont be able to fly most of the time. An intercepting jet is enough. The same can be said of forward arty. It's just not needed & usually OP as all hell. What is often forgotten is that this game is at it's finest when focussed on small scale infantry & light combined arms. On the other public server I play on the fob has the following vehicles: 1x Bobcat 1x Medical HEMTT (Doubles as a troop transport) 1x Vehicle ammo HEMTT 3x Quad bike 4x Hunter/Prowler/Quillin on random respawn, though favoring the Hunter. The main reason we dont have AI running around the FOB is a simple matter of server frames. It struggles enough with the AI out in the field. Now, all that being said, one major difference on that server is that they have FATIGUE on. This means that there are a lot of people who return to the FOB for rearm following a mission, (along with the added call for choppper suport airlifting in supplies). Players can't set up for 4 AO's of ammo in a Bergen & sprint for a month with no consequence. Often choppers will airlift/evac troops to the FOB, the squads would regroup after an AO & head out in vehicles. This can also be a great use of the Vehicle Blackfish, as it can fly several vehicles up to the FOB In preparation for the end of the AO.

Hello, I'm writing this in regards to my strike that I received over 3 months ago. I had just woken up from my sleep and jumped straight onto Arma 3. There were only low ranking cops online, so I immediately took CO and got everyone into order. A hostage situation then arose and I was the only one qualified to negotiate. I set up the officers in positions in case something went wrong and then proceeded to meet face to face. I made a deal with one of the hostage takers that they would give me the hostage immediately if I gave them the name of the house. I was hesitant at first (as I was still waking up) and then proceeded to accept the offer. I roleplayed it out, but as soon as I did they wanted the name of the hostage. That not being part of the deal, I proceeded to stall with the name and then was going to inform them that negotiations would be called off if they did not return the hostage. As I was planning on what to do, the hostage proceeded to give his name to the takers and then I left and called negotiations off. I immediately set up on a hill and ordered my officers to shoot anyone with a weapon, as I the fire fight went on I moved in closer to the hostage to get him out safely. As I got to the house, most of the hostage takers were dead, but the damage had already been done. The hostage takers were given the keys to the house by the civilian and they looted some goods, which were not recovered because we can't loot dead bodies. I managed to get the hostage out safely and proceeded to escort him out of the area. I realized what I had done and regretted it straight away. My argument is that it's against Detective protocol to give house information out, but not against the official GD protocol. I was not in detective at the time and had not read their rules, so I was unaware. I apologized to the civilian, but he wouldn't have any of it. I explained my situation to the ex Commissioner and well, he had the final say. I hope you can understand and will be waiting patiently for a response. Thanks, RagingSniper.

Just off the top of my head perhaps a station where you level up proficiencies but at a slower rate, perhaps half or a third of the standard rates.

Another idea I thought of: with the removal of this fob, make the FOBs in the quadrants last an AO or two longer. Doing this would allow the FOBs be more useful as everyone is in the one area of the map for longer.

@decibel_spl Perhaps a modification to the frequency of AOs spawning near base would be a better alternative? Morning players or those who play during low-population periods of the day are often considerably outgunned by the by AI, and lack the assistance of support roles and pilots. Having an AO situated close enough to base to make the use of an MRAP, IFV or MBT viable during times of low population increases the satisfaction of players and likelihood of a successful objective completion. However, during high-population times I do agree that the objectives need to be pushed further back so as not to nullify the pilot role, and assist in reducing lag. I feel that we should increase the frequency of closer AOs during off-peak times, and remove closer AOs from peak periods where there is upwards of 40 players.

I propose that this fob be removed from the server, along with it any AOs within 4km of the base. Any time there's one that close, piloting almost seems useless as you enter landing procedure as soon as you take off. Not to mention, the amount of resources in a 4km radius puts a significant amount of pressure on the server and frames plummet; compare my dropping to 10 fps from a standard 20+. Any AOs that are undertaken as part of this FOB should be re-located to the appropriate FOB in the quadrant of the map. (E.g. Frini to Forlorn Hope)
