Clarify Vix Jurisdiction and Enhance Security Equipment
VIX SECURITY SUGGESTIONS
For reference, I have reached the rank of Tactical Response Officer on Vix, so I do have quite a bit of experience with the team. I'll list my suggestions from most important to least
Clarify Vix jurisdiction: At the moment, it's really unclear what actually falls under Vix protection. Obviously the Plaza and Target do, but what about the banks, seeing how we can enter inside the Florence bank after hours? The port and storage area? Donuts? I've seen people say that Vix JD falls on both sides of the spectrum (either that all private property falls under Vix, or that solely plaza and Target do), and I think if the JD for Vix is clearly defined (either in the Disc server or, preferably, in the game) it'll help clear up a lot of confusion, and to ensure that whatever place falls under Vix JD, they're able to actually do things there (like opening the alley gate at Florence bank, opening the Target doors after hours, etc)
Give Vix rifle access: HEAR ME OUT FOR THIS. I think that if someone is willing to sit through the brutal grind to get armed access with Vix, USUALLY they are pretty reliable. I think Vix having access to rifles makes sense from both a gameplay stance and a "lore" stance: I say gameplay mostly for the fact of just how many armed shooters there are in Ventura, and Vix is already at a massive disadvantage due to how few people with Vix are actually armed. From a lore stance, if Vix is responsible for the protection of banks, those are very high-security places, and carrying rifles in those environments is done IRL by private security companies. Whether Vix is able to open carry their rifles is up to you, but I personally think rifles should be stored at all times unless there is a high threat, similar to how LEOs operate. I personally am saying this because I have seen many incidents of barricaded suspects in Subway and rooftop shooters at Florence bank, and a rifle would've been great for those situations
At the very least, if Vix should not get rifles, I would recommend removing the section on "Senior Security Officer (Armed)" that says that rank and beyond get rifle access, as it is misleading and several people in the Disc alone have asked when they get their rifles because of it. I've also been asked about it in game as well
Give the Vix vehicles cruise lights: The rest of the suggestions are merely personal preference for what I think would help out the team. I think static cruise lights for Vix vehicles would be good since it'll help mark the presence of Vix in the area without having to have any flashing lights
Switch the Director of Security and Chief Security Officer ranks in the role selection menu: I think these two ranks have been accidentally flipped, I think it should be the Director as the highest rank and the Chief as the 2nd highest, primarily since it says the Chief is the "Second-highest" while it's at the very top of the hierarchy
