Shop Robberies ( more for owners )

[T6Hey]

Can the cooldown on shop robberies get looked at please, shop owners in the quieter locations like myself get targeted more for obvious reasons, Since Monday my shop has been robbed 13 time's which has cost me 130k
( 65k Per till ) in that small window, I don't even turnover 130k in a month I just don't see the balance.


Suggestion 1 - Reduce cost from 5k to 1k to fix tills

Suggestion 2 - Only allow 1 robbery per shop per storm

Suggestion 3 - Unsure on cooldown time but say its 1hr make it 6 hrs?


Pros - Will stop people targeting the same shops and could create more RP avenues as they need to target places closer into the city ( as police and G6 its usually the same shops over and over again )


Neg - Dev work
RP Robbers wont like a couple of these suggestions

I don't know how the police works in terms of departments - but I've had a lot of run in's with the "Rural Police something or other" lately who tend to respond to Sandy/Grapeseed/Paleto pretty swiftly, which has been great to see.

Is it a case of you have to get permission as a police officer to police outside of the city area - or is it a case of some people just don't want to? As if it is the latter, I would say thats a RP issue and should be taken up in character with the police themselves.

When there is not realistically enough police of G6 around to man the demand of shop robberies, I believe a fix should either be free, or people are simply not able to rob the tills - I also agree with overall reducing the cost of the fix when they are about, £1000 seems reasonable.

To add to @Samuel Shire's suggestion with radius's and what not - why not just have the front doors of the store go into a 'lockdown' for a set amount of time? Forcing people to be inside the shop, giving them no option than to commit. Lockdown should end after say 300 seconds* and if the police have turned up - you face the music, if they haven't you're quids in.


* Could this be an upgrade shop owners could buy? Making their lockdown bigger by purchasing a better security system?

I'll take the automated ceiling mounted turrets upgrade for £1m

+1 on this especially when certain groups are hitting tills over and over again being right outside city hall is like candy to a baby. I agree that tax should cover till repairs or it should be reduced in some way or maybe if police or G6 repair tills it doesn't cost the business? I'm down for robbing RP but when we turn up as G6 or as the business owner all they do is hop in their car and drive off with no communication 80% of the time. I had 18 till hits in 48 hours when i logged on yesterday.

i don't "own" any shops so to speak, but i do possess some due to CoC, so i guess it's still somewhat relevant

i get that feeling lol, think back when i had a good amount of shops in my name that were robbable i probably logged on with 80 or so dispatches from g6 on average about it.

Suggestion 1 - Reduce cost from 5k to 1k to fix tills

i am unsure if this has already been suggested(or even if i have) i've not re-read the suggestion, but could "just"(i say with no coding knowledge) base it on your profit at the end of the month and do like x% of it, so it follows with your income, so you don't get as shafted

yeah that’s another good option, so nothing charged until end of the month and then charged a % on what you have earned for repairs for the month. Might be a bit more dev work on that option I’d assume.
