Not every useful feature needs its own massive guide. This page covers a handful of systems that are worth knowing about as you get settled into Equinox Roleplay. You’ll find information here about:
  • License reinstatement
  • Job limits
  • The Pause Menu
  • Car Play

Licensing

Lost your driver’s license? Getting it back isn’t automatic. If your license has been revoked or otherwise removed, you’ll need to complete the reinstatement process.

Reinstatement Fee

The mandatory license reinstatement fee is:

$500

To begin the process, speak with any Police Officer. They can help point you toward the appropriate reinstatement process.

License Information


Poor Driving Records

Not every license issue can necessarily be resolved with a simple reinstatement fee. If your character has developed a particularly poor driving record, they may be required to take the matter further.

DOT Petition May Be Required

Characters with a sufficiently poor driving history may be required to file a petition with the Department of Transportation.This process is handled through the Federal Government.
The more trouble your character creates behind the wheel, the harder it may become to simply pay a fee and move on.

Job Limits

You are no longer restricted to choosing only one or two general civilian jobs. Most civilian jobs are open to anyone.

General Civilian Jobs

You can freely work available civilian jobs without being locked into a single career.Some jobs may require specific equipment before you can begin.
For certain work, you’ll need:
  • A Hard Hat from the supermarket
  • An appropriate work outfit
Keep a basic work outfit ready if your character regularly moves between civilian jobs.It saves you from having to rebuild the same look every time you clock in somewhere else.

Whitelist Job Limit

Whitelist jobs work differently from open civilian jobs. You may hold up to:

3 Whitelist Jobs

Whitelist Jobs Are Limited

While general civilian work is broadly accessible, characters are limited to 3 whitelist jobs.
This helps prevent one character from occupying every major whitelisted role at the same time.

Pause Menu

The Pause Menu is more useful than just somewhere to adjust settings. It acts as a central hub for several important server features.
