Improving your career choice as a police officer and getting people involved.

[nOmnomnOm]

In all my time playing as LPI, both in 2013 and now that I lead the faction, I've only run into three people who actually wanted to be arrested. One was actually on LN, one never spoke to me or my son ever again after we arrested him, and one got killed by stray missiles after he surrendered.

It depends i guess on how immersive the player wants to go and at what pace. I do get, however, why people wouldnt want to surrender to an arrest though.
I've heard others as well though say they got a few arrests here and there, and it is more in line imo of an officer trying to take someone in alive rather than shooting and risking getting the guilty party dead.

Arrest RP is interesting, but it's so incredibly complicated to actually conduct that nobody actually wants to do it, especially if their beautiful characters are slaving away for actual, real years in a station like Huntsville that they can't really escape from, since it A) is a space station, B) is staffed by tons of LPI officers, C) is really close to a Navy battleship, D) has a bunch of bounty hunters on it to prevent escapes, and E) isolates prisoners.

What the issue is is that the player A) wouldnt want a criminal record or B) wouldnt want to stay locked up in a prison station that others say is impossible to escape.

But I however would like to challenge that.

You can escape through different ways:
A rogue cop that you bribe and he cleans your records, a lane hacker from the outside, an infiltrator specifically arrested to get you out, bails, supply transport escape etc etc. Hell you can even escape in a coffin i guess?

Lets not just jump to conclusions and say there is no possible way to escape. If done correctly, this could be really fun for BOTH sides that want to RP.

I guess you can say when you get into this situation then it can be like a RP puzzle thing.
If a player wants to opt out of the RP from 2nd thoughts, he should also be given the chance to do so.
