Yacht Heist Rework

Problem:

The current method of doing the heist is way too easy. 

It can be done alone and in simple terms its just a 18-20k cash injection every 12 hours for whoever logs out on the boat prior to reset.

Police is also not being alerted.

Proposed Solution:

Variable timer from reset to gave many people the opportunity to do it. 

The loot table for the boat itself can be changed provide more valuable things like decryption keys or weapons (nothing automatic) Smith & Wesson, DB Shotguns.

Police should be immediately alerted at the start of the hack and it should be a top priority for them. I'm not saying that police have to be clocked on to start the heist. I am suggesting that they do get the alert just like the armoured truck.

If the police alert is implemented alongside the variable timer consider changing the cash reward to be slightly higher because it will be high risk/high reward or no risk/high reward depending on luck.

A potential argument against this increase in cash reward is that people will just check to see if police are around prior to starting the heist. However, with the variable timer and more people wanting the increased cash reward more added risk of running into a second crew also trying to do the heist. The cash reward I personally feel balanced with the added risk is a range between 28-30k.

If anything requires PD to be online it seems like this should?  I like the idea of randomizing the timer so it can't be camped while increasing risk & reward both.  This is a higher-tier crime & people should have to plan for it and the higher stakes that come with the bigger payoff.
