I gotta say, i really like most of the ideas you presented Frontline. Especially the way that there should only be a set amount of gangs, one to each section of the station. Reminds me a bit of that CTF mode that nobody uses anymore, but I think it would be a huge improvement on the way that people put lockers out now. I'd like to see every member of a gang have access to the room that the locker spawns in, but I think that would be difficult to do.
I think I'm a bit torn on your suggestion for peaceful goals. Leaving the examples you provided alone, I think it presents an interesting development. It would change being a gangmember from being a pseudo-revolutionary to being more like a "real" gang member. The only problem is that doing such things would take away some of the joy that is brought out of being an antagonist (that is to be able to do whatever the fuck you want). So I'm unsure of how it would go over, not being given a greenlight to start killing other gangs just for joining a gang would change the mode substantially.
I think that idea about the HoS being able to select a mole to infiltrate the gangs just seems like its trying to copy that one time we played Reservoir Dogs. There's nothing wrong with that, but I don't think it would fit into gang mode. Mostly because you'd only be able to infiltrate one single gang, you can't have 4 officers all infiltrate each gang and nobody walking around as a redshirt obviously. So it's a gamble which gang the mole would join as it would also be kind of dull for the mole. They wouldn't be able to kill any of the gangmembers for no reason like that dirty traitor Mr. Black did, they would mostly just have to watch the gang they infiltrated beat on other gangs and then what? Call security to break up the fight? Arrest them himself? I can't see a viable purpose for allowing sec to join a gang as a mole.
