What does this suggestion change/add/remove
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?
Nothing regarding the queue system itself but there are some like this that talk about the votes that have been denied before (this has nothing to do with votes they're fine)
Possible Positives of the suggestion
Possible Negatives of the suggestion
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted?
During times of high CI activity, there are times when they manage to breach 3 SCPs through hacking manually or via giving 035 a foundation hostage host, it can result could result in 6 SCPs out due to breach tools, depending on which SCPs were breached. Then, queue happens and 2 more get out and if they have breach tools, 4 more get out, instant code black, usually nuke, and RP becomes disrupted for a full hour. More common during off hours but still a relatively common occurrence. I've seen many manageable breaches caused by CI to snowball into an instant nuke where almost every HCZ SCP is out due to the breach queue. I think this is a reasonable change since CI usually breaches strong SCPs w/ tools like 8837 which can result in a minimum of 2 strong SCPs out and MTF need time to respond. SCP breaches usually bring all other areas of the site to a grinding halt so I feel a more metered system is justified to keep MTF from getting overwhelmed by bad timing.
- While an SCP is breached, pauses the breach queue to prevent snowballing breaches.
- To compensate, the queue can be knocked down by like 30 minutes (except first after restart) since it would also pause whenever breach queue happens.
- Exceptions to this would be 096 since it can just be dragged out by CI & 035 (and is more of a secondary threat) as well as surface SCPs obviously.

Possible Positives of the suggestion
- No snowballing breaches
- More manageable breaches during times of high CI activity
- No time crunch to recontain SCPs before queue
- Standardized time between breaches
- More time for RP between breaches
- Less nukes
Possible Negatives of the suggestion
- Possible avenue of metagaming silent breaches
- Upset SCP players seeing breach queue paused
- CI breaches have less potential w/o being able to snowball into queue
- More breaches overall (but more in smaller sizes since they won't happen at the same time)
