Boosting Adjustments
In my personal opinion I think Boosting still needs adjustments, most people doing Boosts just highway bomb it and can get the hacks off before police even respond. I would like to see the time in between hacks increase again and add more risk. Right now if you fail a boost/PD seizes it all you lose is GNE but you should also lose reputation in boosting. Failing enough hacks should also kill the engine.

This would be very beneficial, it is very rare in this server that criminals want to give both sides a fun chase, all the boosters do is stick to a straight line on a highway and send it up to Paleto to avoid any interaction with Police, which I understand they want to get away and get the rewards, but people don’t realize it’s an RP server and the entire point is creating fun scenes. If you are getting into a Boost you should be anticipating a fun police chase rather than just highway bombing to avoid any interaction with police and only do it for the loot rather than a fun scene.
Adding extra time in between hacks whether 30s on a minute will provide police enough time to respond considering we already struggle being able to respond to all incidents as we struggle with activity currently.

The highway bombing is a symptom of the system primarily. Needing to maintain 85mph+ in an A boost to be able to do the hack restricts options. Some of the A boosts are not great cars and you have to be able to hold 85mph for 20-30 seconds to give your hacker time to finish. If there was a speed limit reduction to maybe 30mph then highway bombing would be a choice made rather than what feels required to do some of these boosts.
If we want to make boosting harder on the hacking front, there should be some balance on the PD response as well. Pitting boosts is lame and should only be done in very extreme circumstances. The car is the loot so crims will do what they can to keep the chase going and pitting a low/no armour car into a wall and smoking 50% of its engine feels like a forced outcome 5 mins into a chase. Most of the A class boosts arent that crazy, many dont even go faster than 140mph so crims are already at a pretty severe disadvantage if the cops do show up

Leave boosting like it is dont touch it! Boosting have had so much problems in the past. Vehicle not spawning, not giving us the gne when complete the delivery ect. Leave boosting alone.
