I am a firm believer that we need more stuff for CIVs to do. As you can imagine, it's pretty hard to come up with things for them not to get used to because they join factions anyway.
Civ characters are never really main characters, in my opinion. I suppose having a civ faction to rival any faction would be difficult, and nine times out of the ten when we all know a specific civ group is neck deep into drug dealing, they're usually the last thing on the LAPO's mind to go in there and sort it out.
I suppose we could work on more CIV jobs.
- MOP couriers
- Tiny China paid security work
- Private investigators
- Maybe even a black market weapons dealer ( Approval would be needed for this and would be a highly trusted position )
These are all ideas; for any of this to work, it must follow all the rules and fit into the server without posing issues, which I know can be difficult sometimes!
Something which I would love to see is the Kontinental actually being used for something by a hotel chain where people can buy rooms to make drugs or something. Such a big building not being used for anything is a pity.
I also agree that getting first time players into factions, discords, and set up into uniforms can be a long process which they sometimes don't quite understand, so having an option for them to get a little taster of the server doing something else to begin with might assist in keeping some players playing for the long term.
Anyway, I strongly support this idea, but next time, when writing a suggestion, come up with a few ideas so the staff team can see you've genuinely thought about it.
