Justice & Reputation

Update 0.5.5 is here, and it's one of the bigger updates in a while, four new or reworked systems go live at once, plus a ton of building progress and bug fixes.

The biggest piece is the new Justice System 🧑‍⚖️. You now have Quick Court for fast hearings, a Court Scheduling system for bigger cases, and a Team system for lawyers and prosecutors. Judges also get a Mobile Terminal, letting them work on the go instead of being tied to a fixed device. RP around law and order finally has the foundation it needed.

Alongside that, we've expanded the Reputation System 📈. There are now more ways to gain or lose reputation, shop prices react to your standing, and if you want to work as a lawyer or police officer, you'll need a clean reputation — fall too low, and those career paths are closed off.

IceGP Racing is also finished now: races now have a hard time limit (max 600 seconds, or 40 seconds after the first player crosses the finish line), solo races are now 1 lap instead of 3, and there are more boat types to choose from. You also can no longer start a new race while a server restart is in progress 🏎️.

On the building side, the city keeps growing: the tutorial area at spawn is finished, all buildings around spawn are complete, Ermesinde got new buildings and pedestrian lanes, and in Sampaio the new stadium is slowly taking shape, plus a lot of buildings there got decorated 🏙️.

And a couple of economy changes worth noting: dying now only costs you 50% instead of 100% of your pocket money, and insurance now saves 85% instead of 100% 💰.
