Watching the godfather especially when vito is alone in the hospital and in one second dozens of private detectives appeard with tom. My idea is simple, in the 20's the weapons where highly illegal and some mafia family's had private detectives agencies under their payroll, so, when some shit explodes they can call for help without carry about weapons because detectives can carry a gun legally.

So, my idea here is add private detectives, they would be like CAs, you know, getting some drugs maybe the same as CAs for you but they would have better chance of getting some WSs like when detectives intercept messages so they would intercept some WSs when someone sell or buy WSs. they would be more expensive than CAs because they can be used as BGs. and they would last 30 days like CAs.

They would be like this:

Cost: 15 or 20 CDs (should be discussed)
Days until get arrested doing bad things: 30 days
BG counter: 1 BG (they are equivalent as 1 maxed BG)
chance of intercept WSs: 30%
Drug productive: same as CAs
Stealth: 75% (detectives are almost invisible hidding and shit lol)
Defense: same as a fully trained BG.
chance of getting own WSs: same as CAs.

and you would be able to put em off and call them when you want (war times would have better use for them) but they will only last 30 days.

its a simple idea, it would improve the RPG factor and would be more real... i thinks its easy to make, its like a CA but improved :)

The cost is still too high. 10 million for a 30 day BG. The chance of war coming in those 30 days is pretty slim so it would be considered a useless BG. The other features that comes with it are already owned by a CA.

Now if you were to add some of these features that you have mentioned to the already exsisting CA's that could prove useful. Now if your CA could intercept WS's that people send to the Warden that could come in useful.

I think adding the intercept thing and the fact that your agent becomes a BG for the 30 days that he's around would add to the excitment of actually wanting and buying a CA.

So I vote for adding some of these features on to the already exsisting Corrupt Agent.

you are right Vince, CAs being BGs and all that stuff would be amazing.

I don't think anything needs to be added to CAs, and I don't think there's a need for another NPC. This is just an overpriced combination of both with a short shelf life. If you want these features, get a CA, and get a BG. CA's already get WSs, I don't think they should get anymore than they already do.

I guess I always hire the most useless and blind CAs. Mine never catch ANY WSs...

I don't think a CA should act as a BG either. These guys are supposed to be keeping a low profile, being seen in the company of a mobster kinda blows their cove

Have to say im in agreement with Spike here. I dont see the merit in making these changes to the CA and I certainly don't see any merit to the stand alone Idea of the Private Detective/BG thing.
