Police vs Navy

[Lemon]

As Markam offered, I would give police a ship for intercepting. Something like police version of Armoured Transport but with 375 or 400 cruise speed and 'police' skin, if possible to find a unified one for all the houses. With the CD you mentioned, police may become really good for hunting for smugglers. Probably, may be a good idea to allow indies limit dock as well but for smaller time.

Many cool and good posts here, thanks for the input team.

I want to give police IDs some cool new toys.

For example, a quick easy one is a CD you can only mount if you have a police ID, that has a longer range than the existing ones, giving it some extra utility to chase that smuggler who has gotten just out of your 3k train CD range, while not really affecting its pvp performance. Obviously not a magic "now we have five official police factions" button, just something nice you can use while playing police.

Another cool toy would be a command to lock jumpgates, similar to nodock.

What would you give the police?

how about a "scrambler" command that will make you invisible in the player list for X time
All it will show is that some cop is logged somewhere
but hide name+location+level


I really like your thinking btw - at this stage of the game limiting other IDs just shouldn't be an option. but buffing unplayed ones - definitely a good direction.


Speaking of which - how about a cheap police only CLD and overpowered and/or cheap scanner

CLD could be in-built into police CM like nomad one is. And secret services could have a cheap cloak as well.

Honestly it does get quite boring to see only official players use unique little toys. and smuggling is rarely a challenge nowadays. Something like this would be lovely as i miss the feeling of having adrenaline running up my back not knowing where the person is. And frankly, I'm outright tired of being scanned by warships instead of snubs. Something new would be great. I want the " OH **** " Feeling again.

Police only OF having police perks like nodock is just straight up outdated and dumb. There is ONE OF police faction.
Like I said, Liberty is fine, Kalh, Kage, Darkwind are doing a great job.

But for every other house all these perks (nodock + block JH with longer CD, shorter duration) just HAVE to go to indies for police to be played again.
