Changing CI R&D from Non-Combative to Combative, or allowing them to participate in CI Raids

[BoltSive]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Changing CI R&D from Non-Combative to Combative, or letting them participate in CI Raids.

I would like this changed since I would like to add a new raid goal which would have something to do with Research, where CI would enter an SCP's chamber and conduct a research study on the anomaly, while the other combative hold the containment chamber. However to balance this, R&D would only be allowed to raid with this specific type of raid goal. For example, if CI were to raid D-Block then R&D wouldn't be allowed to raid.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- This would allow more SCP RP with CI
- More raid goals for CI, that actually benefit them
- More roleplay for the SCP's

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- More fire power within these type of raids
- Maybe mingy behavior on R&D (However this could be combated by a stricter CO team)

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Overall, this suggestion should be accepted because it would allow more RP for CI which many members of the server have been complaining about for a while. This would also give more RP for the SCP's while they wait to breach.

+/- neutral cant R&D already go on raids they just cant fight for example

CI are raiding SCP 860 for example during the raid the R&D cant shoot anyone and must be protected but they can go on that raid such as to sample etc?

As CI COM would like to see this happen as we could squeeze some RP out of regiment but this would have to be monitored to make sure that it wouldn't be abused. We all know that this would never be accepted though.

-Good for RP (CI and SCP's)
-Allows for CI to gain Samples IC (With difficulty)
-R&D only being able to Raid for Specific Reasons means that R&D isn't a Extra Operative Slot
-If allowed to be in Raids they could be Interrogated for Info

When they ruled most of the Passiveish CI Jobs as Non-Combative, it kind of clashes with what CI is. CI by Definition would be an entirely combative wing, including their researchers as their operations frequently take them into a battle with the foundation.

Giving R&D the title of "Combative" allows them to more aggressively aid in Raids for research purposes.

Actually makes sense and can bring some RP to CI

Will make more sense like in lore Every Ci is violent so it will make sense

 

[Jericho]

Chaos Insurgency are not bound by the Foundations CoC or CoE, it would make sense to allow all CI jobs to be combatant.

Balance would not be affected greatly and gives CI more options when it comes to RP, decent suggestion tbh.

Gives CI a chance to do R&D raids and have R&D be able to engage in combat, it'd be expected for them to have some sort of combative abilities.

This could be amazing to have a combative RND as the chemist RND isnt able to sample SCP so it could be cool to have.

Seem's like a cool idea.

They spawn with weapons and are required if CI are doing a sampling raid. This just allows them to fight during it.

Makes CI R&D useful for more then milking Scp's they catch and 8854 and 323.
Also makes it so that CI becomes more rp oriented which is a major issue as they aren't really rp interested.

Having Sample Raids/Stealing SCP's raids will be sick af
