Solo lobbies from day one, please!

I don't want to wait five years to enjoy my own radio station in peace. Flash FM and Emotion 98.3 deserve my full attention, not some griefer on an Oppressor Mk III ruining the needle drop. The first game finally got it right with invite-only sell missions, but why did it take so long? Let me build my empire while vibing to Self Control without a loading screen back to the clouds. Public lobbies are for chaos, sure, but my mood is curated. Day one solo progression means I can actually hear the new soundtrack instead of explosions drowning out the bassline. Rockstar, don't make me beg for the vibe again!

Bro I'm trying to set ride height on a drift missile and some rando on a flying bike yeets my shop. Solo lobbies let you actually TEST camber without some clown ruining the alignment check. Give me Flash FM bumping in a quiet garage. No jets no chaos. Just me and the wrench.

I get the garage vibe. From an enforcement standpoint though, public lobbies are a nightmare for testing police AI. You can't evaluate pursuit pathing or wanted escalation when some player T-bones your unit mid-intercept.

Day one solo lobbies matter for patrol work too. I need a controlled environment. I want to see how Leonida Highway Patrol handles a PIT at sixty without some griefer spawning a tank on the roadblock. Let me test loadouts, backup response times, and air unit coordination in peace.

Public servers can keep the chaos. Just give me an invite-only session where I can actually study the new wanted system.

That might be the only way to tell if a wallbreach is consistent or just server lag from thirty players. I'm curious if Leonida's water physics have odd collision boundaries you can't spot in chaos. It's possible their netcode actually needs player density to stay stable. Has anyone tested if solo instances load geometry differently?

day one solo lobbies are basically required if you actually care about RP server culture. you need that quiet space to workshop a build before you ever step into public. ive spent hours on legacy servers getting the fit, voice vibe, and starter cash flow right, only to have some rando on a flying bike delete the whole session.

in leonida i want to test how lucia and jasons animations feel for my own character without thirty players spawning tanks on the car meet. let me figure out if my grassrivers mechanic backstory actually works with the emotes and garage layouts before i commit to a whitelist app.
