Makes more money but uses more coolant and battery.

I don't know if props stay for a while after the player disconnects. If props do stay, entities should last the same time as the props last after the player disconnects.

60 seconds usually isn't enough to get everything especially if the base owner was killed right at the entrance of their base. 
 

Suggestion: Improve the lean job by changing the lean perks

How will this improve the quality of Aether?:

Currently, the level up perks for lean affect the chance for lean cups to not consume lean. However, this ends up being extremely annoying instead of helpful, as lean crates only hold 10 lean anyway, leaving extra lean cups are left behind.  

One lean barrel can produce 10 lean with boost, with the crate only holding 10 lean. The extra lean cups you gain will just be left on the floor, meaning subsequent lean you make will still leave extra lean cups behind. You can only pick up a lean crate when it is full of 10 lean. This means that the extra lean cups are UNABLE TO BE SOLD until you get a total of 10 extra lean cups. Any player who has experience making lean can understand the frustration of the one or more cups left behind. The extra lean cups that are made doesn't even bolster your income to any significant degree to make it worth the frustration of making lean.

Change the lean perk from a percent chance of a cup not consuming lean to a percent chance of doubling the lean you pick up from a crate.

A percentage of doubling lean from a crate will only have benefits to the user, putting the perk in line with bitcoin and meth perks. The bitcoin perk advantages the user by having a percent chance to void all bitcoin upgrade cost. The meth perk advantages the user by having a percent chance to producing more meth. Lean on the other hand annoys the user by having a percent chance to make another lean cup. The difference between the meth perk and the current lean perk is that you don't need to store the meth in a box of 10, meaning the extra meth made can be just picked up. As stated above, a lean barrel with lean boost produces 10 lean cups, which stores into a box that can only contain 10 lean. This means that any extra lean you get can not be stored, subsequently picked up and sold.

For people who deem that a percent chance to double the lean picked up from a crate to be to powerful, the extra lean you pick up doesn't need to be double. Currently at level 110 the perk you receive is "Leanest and Cleanest", with the perk giving "Your lean cups have a 5% chance not to consume Lean from the Lean Barrel." This could be changed to "Collecting Lean Crates have a 5% chance to collect an extra Lean." This proposed perk will have the exact same output as the current perk, while removing the frustration the current perk brings. The proposed perk will also allow the extra lean to be sold without waiting for a total of 10 extra lean like the current perk requires. 

In summery, the current lean perks frustrate the user more than it benefits. Changing the lean perk to only benefit the user like the meth and bitcoin perks will improve the lean job as a whole.

Exact same thing happens when you equip multiple of the same guns from either your inventory, unbox or from the floor. 

Suggestion: Allow command /buyfuel for job of bitcoin farmer.

How will this improve the quality of Aether?: Quality of life change for bitcoin farmers, removing the absolute need to open the f4 menu every time refilling is required. The command of /buyfuel does not work, with attempting the command as a bitcoin farmer leading to a message stating "not correct job for /buyfuel". Currently unknown if other job items, for instance refill jars, also have a command and if the command is allowed. The change is not urgent, just a "would be nice to have".

General Questions

How can you contribute to Aether?:

As I am in a differing timezone from most players on this server, I can handle situations that normally won't have many people on to handle.
 I go into staff situations with the mindset that the respondent is ALWAYS innocent until proven guilty. If there is no evidence either from logs or from video/screenshot proof, I do not give any form of punishment. If the players in the staff situation are just arguing back and forth with no evidence, I will explain that I am unable to act until evidence is received. 
I am lenient to players who are cooperative in a staff situation. If they understand that they have done something wrong, and are willing to own up about their action, they will be met with lenient punishments if allowed. 
Have you read the rules fully, understand and feel comfortable enforcing them as correctly as possible?:

Yes, I am confident that I fully understand and is competent in enforcing the rules. 
Are you willing to listen to any Staff member guide you as a Staff, even if you feel you don't need to?:

I am willing to listen to any feedback to improve myself as a staff member, and as a person in general. 
Are you certain you will be able to staff for several hours a week?:

I am certain I will have the ability to staff for several hours a week. 

DarkRP Rule Questions

Raids can last how long?:

Raids can last 10 minutes from raid initiation.. 
What initiates a raid?:

A raid is initiated by an advert or the first attempt at any type of breach.
If the owner of the base is standing outside on their base entrances sidewalk as you're about to raid but haven't announced a raid yet, can you kill them?:

You are unable to kill the base owner without adverting that you are raiding. Once you have adverted a raid, you can kill the base owner if they are within interfering distance. 
List all default Laws of The Land: 
The default laws of the land are: raiding, theft and kidnapping are illegal; inflicting harm onto others is illegal unless in self-defence; printers, large bitcoin racks, drugs and explosives are illegal; shooting in public is illegal; any KOS/AOS need a 10-second warning before enforcing; laws must be enforced with AOS unless the officer’s life is in danger.
How many bases can you own per party?: 
A party can only own one base. 
A player is refusing to co-operate with you in a staff sit, how do you handle the non-cooperative player?: 
As there are multiple different ways a player can refuse to cooperate in a staff situation, I am only going to explain a few. However, after warning to cooperate they continue to be uncooperative, their punishment will not be met with any leniency or if allowed, a harsher punishment.
If the player is mic spamming or chat spamming:
They will be warned to stop. If they continue, they will be gagged/muted. Possible additional punishment added.
If the player is kill binding/running away from the sit:
They will be warned to stop. If they continue, they will be brought and frozen.  Possible additional punishment added.
If the player harms another player of staff in the sit:
They will be frozen, with additional punishment added. (A/RDM in Sit)
Can you punish a player for intentionally ruining others time, even if they say it's out of fun?: 
You can punish a player for intentionally ruining another player’s time, even if they say it is out of fun. This is extremely similar to the argument of ‘if a joke isn’t funny, is it still a joke?’ If the other player makes a sit about the instigator, and it is found that the instigator did not break any rules, then I will warn the instigator that continuing to ruin the other player’s time may result in a harassment punishment. However, if the instigator has a previous history of ruining others time for their own enjoyment, they will be punished instead of warned. 
Give an example of a Staff abusing their powers and how you would handle it: 
Deleting/moving props from base to raid. This situation is clearly intentional from the staff member abusing their powers. I would confront them, and send evidence to higher-ups. If they continue to abuse their power even after confronting them, I would just collect and send evidence to higher-ups to handle. 
A player is excessively RDMing, how would you intervene/stop them from continuing and what punishment would you give?:
If a player is excessively RDMing, they will be frozen to stop them from continuing to affect other players. I will teleport the player into a staff sit and ask for their reason and explain why they can not RDM. I am of the opinion that everyone should be given a chance to learn from their mistakes, even if they do not want to. I will then check the amount killed or if they had intended to kill more (which if they are excessively RDMing,  will be the case) and punish accordingly, checking and adding punishment if they have a previous punishment/s.
A Mayor enabled a lockdown without reason and is refusing to turn it off, how do you resolve this?: 
I will resolve this by teleporting the mayor into a sit, explaining that a reason is needed to have a lockdown, and is currently required to disable the lockdown. If they do not agree I would demote the player from the mayor job.

Extra Comments:

 I have half a year of staffing experience on Gmod, however, this experience will not translate directly between servers. I am open to any criticism and suggestions on this application, while I am in a staff position and even if I am not accepted into a staff position. 

On the forums, I usually abstain from posting my opinion, as I fear my opinion may be incorrect or my affect another user's opinion.

I love reading ban appeals for some odd reason. I don't know why.
