Land Mines
I saw on another server a great feature.
When a AI mission spawn, it spawn with random land mines (vehicles land mines) on the mission radius. this way you prevent the lamme bastards that are full of money cause they buy a strider and can do any mission by road killing the AIs. You should prevent this.... the server (EU1) are unbalanced because of this. i saw (have on video) people buying 2 jets (100 millions each) and blow them just for fun...
remove thermals scopes, remove 3rd person crossair, add mines to the missions, forbide building over roads... i guess that it will balance the server.

First of all, I doubt the Jets were legit, either Admins/Devs playing around or duped/glitched money. Please report the names to one of the admins.
The idea with the mines is good, currently it's so easy to make a ton of money because the servers are still filling up and sometimes empty. Maybe it's also possible to disable Vehicle missions if less than 10 people are online, not sure about that though.
Thermal Scopes: I disagree, this is ARMA, everyone has the same chance, even if you don't have a Nightstalker, you can always use laser designators. I personally could run around with IR scopes, but I don't because imho an LRPS is always better.
3rd Person Crosshair, some vehicle guns actually require this, so I don't see the point in disabling it. If you mean disabling third person entirely, a lot of people will look for another server.
It is forbidden to build over roads and I assume Jan/Data will clear out bases blocking roads too much. In my base a truck can simply drive in a straight line on the road without doing magic tricks to pass through. I saw the pics you posted and I hope that base gets destroyed.
I would like to state i have not purchased any jets . i believe those jets were most likely not legitmate
thanks for the answer. the problem with the bases are solved :) nice one admins. The jets are legit cause the airport trader sell them, and someone have money to buy them. i didn't mean remove the 3rd, person just the crossair like in the hardcore mode.
Regarding the thermals, I agree that it should be disabled (totally or thermal scopes; if not possible I would leave Laser Designators and UAV enabled since it has a recon feeling more than anything else) since it would make the server more competitive, nowadays you can simply camp missions, use a thermal scope and snipe.
The mines suggestion, it would make the mission more difficult, not the basic 'hit and run' that it is now. Or make AIs identify vehicles as a threat in order to them to shoot.
I have exposed the jet situation to Jan/Data here at the server. I have all the information necessary to evaluate if what happened was legit or not. I highly doubt it since the behavior I've seen was extremely suspicious. Two jets bought and one destroyed in less than 5 minutes later? It doesn't seem right.
We hope some of the measures will be implemented as it would make the server much more challenging and fun to play in.
I'll add mines to all missions that have AI, just have had alot of thing on my plate right now so it could take a couple of days :D
