General big suggestion

I find it deeply saddening that ERT is not really a playable job, having no depth whatsoever in RP or lore.

My idea is that you slightly expand the map for a ERT base thats kinda like on a mountain.

Foundation gets a helipad(there might be one already on the roof from what I remember) alongside ERT getting it too, but ERT is the only one with the helicopter spawner NPC because generally speaking map is too small for the public use of helicopters.

So restricting everyone besides ERT from getting a helicopter leaves space for ERT to have more depth and a more engaging experience alongside flying skills instead of it being a stupid plane animation.

(If you were to make the map bigger you could introduce helicopter flying license making it available to the public so none-ERT can also fly helicopters.)

ERT really is the step before a nuke, if it had any permanent part on server it could cause imbalances

I get what you mean, thats why there should be rules bound to them

ERT dont engage with outside threats unless necessary, yknow? So ERT slots would still be a thing or an announcement would be made for them to flag on

Generally speaking ERT stands for Emergency response team, as such they are dispatched to various locations, having a central "Base" doesn't quite make sense, They're (Atleast on the UK server) usually direct reports to O4 command and do not have a set location, taking map constrictions into account (As we are very much constricted on space), adding an ERT base just isn't justifiable given it's temporary nature.

Thats fair, i hear you, but having ERT as such a plane empty role is kinds..disappointing, you get me? My idea was kinda like…an outpost where they rest, gear up, take helicopter, respond to breach.

You can always roleplay that way as GSD or any of the MTF on site!

If you're willing to flesh out the idea, it's always worth applying for GM or just finding one who's willing to give this idea an attempt, I don't know any off hand but I'm sure someone in the GM team might consider this idea
