As a counter to this why not add a mega factory building not owned by players that functions the same way in being broken into and raided then you have to capture a flag or something in it and it rewards weapons and money at the end similar to smug boat, same activity but no salty people losing their hard earned and stored stuff.

Alternate idea, play the server like its actually RP and call the police when you shoot someone, then let the cops deal with them for having illegal weapons. This seems too easily abusable and if anything there should instead be a % chance that you instantly die and cant be revived instead of the ability to always be revived by medics could be based on where you get shot but thats prob too much dev work.

If other things could be done to get more traffic through border I'd prefer that over if being closed more often.

Things like:

Legal runs gathering zones all in Mexico so they have to pass through border to get to the processors for contracts.

Some car dealerships or even a sketchy mod shop that offers illegal car mods down in Mexico maybe Laredo, drug planting only in Mexico territory so they have to actually smuggle it over the border or all drug processors down in Mexico so they have to smuggle the raw goods in and processed goods out, really anything to naturally force player traffic down through the border or encourage the border hopping and smuggle idea further.

why join bortac if you dont want to guard the border ?

 

join patrol if u dont want to sit at border...

Personally I enjoy the border and wish that the server was more active so that we can get more interactions down at it. The people usually complaining currently are regular JTF members who are required to man the border regardless of server population, which harms both regular PD who need more units actually patrolling, to which BP could be locked to the 70.1 district and enforce issuing visas to Mexicans they find as well as putting more prio on CG, really anything to help them out. Personally I have lobbied internally within PD to make it easier for us to open border with less cops so it is manned more often, but without players to come through the border it's rough for many.

Guarding border isnt the issue, and also it has nothing to do with BORTAC as things are much less painful for BORTAC than regular JTF. Most regular JTF have to suffer sitting at border with only 1-2 people crossing in an hour due to the server population. Doesnt really make sense to force people to sit somewhere when the mechanic doesnt function due to server health at the moment, and in turn leads to harming PD growth from the bottom up. 

ANZUSGaming Suggestion Template

Type of Suggestion?: (e.g. server suggestion, server rule suggestion.) Server/Rule

Please explain what the suggestion is about and why you're posting it?: Border/DOC cannot be forcefully manned when the server is under 60 population or what ever is considered low to minimal population. 

Solution on how to make this work?: Border can be opened if people wish to open it when under 60 pop or even lower the number obviously is not the end all be all just whatever would be considered low pop, but it cant be forced by police sops etc.. (only people who willingly wish to go do it when the server is in low pop)

Pros & Cons?:
Pro: Cops are not forced to sit in one spot for hours with little to no civilian traffic coming through due to low numbers
civs can do majors more often in low pop
more cops patrolling during low pop
 

Con: Border will be manned less often when the server isnt in high population

-1 This is an RP server in the end and not Cops Vs Robbers. The goal isnt to have as many gunfights in as short of a time span as possible it's to stop and prevent crime. However +1 to the jail system needs to be changed as in maybe have a reworked DOC that doesnt need to be manned but instead prisoners are kept in jail at a PD or at DOC which you can visit, be broken out of etc.. The lack of interaction for prisoners with anyone through Alcatraz is the real boring part imo.
