What does this suggestion change/add/remove
simply just needs to restructure the D-Class job a bit. By possibly adding more things to do in D-Block and/or making things that require GSD or other jobs to interact inside of D-Block frequently. I can give ideas on suggestions but I figured it would be easier for the devs to decide what’s feasible. Also maybe a slight rule change so researchers can keep a flow of test going just even 30% more then what they are.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?
did not see others

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
more RP for D-Class as well as encouraging more people to stay in D-Class or atleast play it a bit

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
more work to add dev side?

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
D-Class is important to the SCPRP economy. Without D-Class it’s just not the same. Currently there’s just not enough to entice people to play D-Class

Maybe leadership just needs to be reviewed but there should be no reason 90% of a D-class time is spent waiting in line then another 8% running around collecting scrap and 1-2% actually doing something else. How many times I’ve been in a code 5 as a researcher and told no to testing even with no breach close to lcz. it makes the rule to continue testing feel useless in the first place.

Respectfully this suggestion will need more specifics and better detail otherwise there's a likely chance of denial. Its not that people necessarily disagree with the sentiment, however the suggestion just proposes an issue, while not mentioning any potential solutions
I understand I’ll try and explain more concise

Give some ideas. This isn't really a fleshed out suggestion. Devs get a lot of their material from us, the players.
A lacking suggestion is very likely to be denied.
 
How new to D-Class are you?

This is all coming from someone who mained D-Class for two months btw.

You can do some pretty crazy things with D-Class outside of testing and sampling, but it's not gonna happen in a day. It took me months to become a real trustee and get up to devious shit. Just having the white suit doesn't cut it, You need to have the reputation.
Most of it is larp and acting. If you play D-Class like Call of Duty and just kill Gensec 24/7 you aren't gonna be able to do shit. Be smart, Be whiley, Disrupt Gensec not just by killing them. Become Trustee, Not just with the suit but with your reputation. Look into the work permit program, that's how most huge D-Class mains get their ins with the foundation. I've been places D-Class can only DREAM of being simply by not being a dick and playing both sides.
 
I mean its true that D-Class gameplay loop is boring, you hop on, get on testing line, if researchers are active, you get to do things, if not... well you can try to farm scrap. Sometimes CI comes by and gives you weapons.

For new players thats it, when you have more experience you can try to aim for either good karma or bad karma RP, join the dclass work program and starting big riots with GM assistance, RP as Type Blue (if they dont instantly blow your head off)...

Also some important thing, a lot of people that play Garrys Mod are not familiar with RP gameplay, and can be really boring for them, thats okay, not everyone likes roleplay, roleplay needs more commitment to be entertaining

If you are in the latter, try to get more experience, both ingame and as a RP player, with time you will get ideas about what to do, you can ask in OOC if you dont get any
 
I do think there is a valid point being made here, in that D-CLASS can feel very repetitive, especially for newer players. However, I think the suggestion is far too broad to really be assessed.

At the moment, you identify a problem rather than proposing a solution.

Suggestions generally need something concrete that can actually be discussed. Whether that's new D-Block activities, additional work programs, changes to trustee progression, or mechanics that encourage more interaction between D-Class and Foundation personnel.

I also think the point regarding testing during Code 5s is somewhat separate from the rest of the suggestion. If researchers are actually unnecessarily refusing to test despite there being no immediate threat, that's more of a leadership or policy enforcement issue than a development one.

I don't disagree that D-Class could benefit from improvements, but I think this suggestion would be much stronger if it included a few specific ideas for how those improvements could be achieved. That gives both leadership and the developers something real to discuss, rather than asking them to come up with the solution themselves.

Ironically the Dclass loop fits so well for a prison system and not a game. If your well known and have the reputation your going to get that respect by both foundation and other dclass. If your a nobody your getting obliterated and forgotten about as well the trust isn't there

New D-Class do need more stuff in D-block because the gameplay loop for new dclass gets stale very quickly here's a few suggestions from my end (US standpoint with 0 experience from UK)
INSIDE D-BLOCK
Give benefits to the non medium suits (I believe this was already suggested and approved)
More activities/ways to earn scrap make the quest giver useful instead of a 1 time free RDM pass maybe even give more than just scrap f you complete the harder jobs (insert fishing minigame joke here)
New Events Different D-block related events events instead of A magical gun crate appears in the back of dblock go riot!
Improvements to all the basic Dclass Roles
Class D janitor: Make it more difficult to acquire to prevent new players just using it to prop block
Dclass brutes: The job ban timer should be reduced and Increase the slots to 4-5 as 3 is not enough for both normal dclass and work permits
D-class Scouts Requirement should be lowered from 50% achievements Slots should be increased to 4-5 as 3 is not enough for both normal dclass and work permits
Normal D-Class: I have no idea if this is possible but i think once you hit dclass level 20 or something you should unlock fists on the base dclass
OUTSIDE D-BLOCK
More reasons to test. With the new SCP Maintenance System being implemented soonish Id like to see D-class used more on non sampling related activities even if it is just Distract the SCP while the techie fixes the broken part
Bigger Incentive to escape 1200 XP for the nigh impossible task of escaping is ROUGH I can see why most D-class dont try to escape XP should not be the only reward for escaping most people can get that by just getting a 914 disguise or rioting for a hour

these are just some ideas I threw out there feel free to take a look or dont!
