Greetings CIT community, to fully comprehend this suggestion, kindly read the complete post and all of its contents.
As the title implies, I am suggesting the addition of a DM arena in LS. The proposed location is quite far from the original LS map, as I will explain in more detail in this post. The new DM arena will include an Ammunation shop, a Food shop, and a respawn zone, similar to the one we have in LV but with improvements. However, before presenting the map of the DM arena, I would like to address some potential questions that may arise.
Why do we need LS DM Arena:
Despite the existence of LV DM arena, the introduction of level 10 in CIT has made it impossible to switch sides for duels with members of the opposing team. This has limited players' ability to practice and duel with each other freely, and the current /duel feature is inadequate for practice sessions or duels in a free environment. Therefore, an LS DM arena would be a necessary addition to the game. While some may argue that cops can practice in Law Farm and criminals can play at EPR or WPR, these options have limitations, such as Law Farm being exclusive to law players and drugs not working there. Moreover, criminals must become gangsters or wanted to practice with the opposing team, and trolls often interrupt duels and practice sessions. An LS DM arena would offer a free and safe environment for players to practice and duel, including level 10 groups who can play without changing their job. Additionally, this would help to reduce fights at prison releases that often affect newbies who are unable to leave the spawn due to spawn campers. Overall, an LS DM arena would enhance the gameplay experience by providing players with a new and improved environment for practice and duels.
What are the differences between the LS DM arena and LV?
The LS DM arena shares similarities with LV in terms of the limited map and respawning feature. However, the gameplay style in LS is slower compared to LV. Essentially, it is an island designated solely for DM arena use. The existing LV DM arena script can be utilized with modifications to reflect LS gameplay style, including game speed and LS binds. All professions inside the DM arena will have the ability to engage in combat with each other.
Where is it located?
The DM arena is situated on an island that is quite distant from the main city. However, a teleportation (TP) marker will be available at the beach between FFH and USNS base, as demonstrated in the video below. This marker enables players to instantly warp to the DM arena island. Alternatively, players can also reach the island using boats or aircraft. Another option is to use a Rapid transportation marker to reach the DM arena.

Is there a protected area within the DM arena?
Certainly, there exists a protected zone that is indicated in the following screenshot. It is equipped with a food vendor, ammunition, and a teleportation marker.

What is the method for appearing on the DM Island at this specific location?
By utilizing the marker located near the beach, you can teleport to the protected area of the DM arena as depicted in the screenshot. If desired, an additional rapid transportation marker could be installed for even greater convenience.

Will there be multiple respawn points on the map?
Yes, just like in the LV DM arena, there will be several respawn points throughout the map. These points will be spread out across the map, which can be viewed in the accompanying video. The number of respawn points will ultimately be determined by the developer, but I believe 5-6 respawn points would suffice.

Since the island exists in the main dimension, @Farhan-Khan and I mapped it using the em panel, the map is in /emsaves.
If you have any queries about this proposal, don't hesitate to ask.
