Denied D-Block Power Balance - New RRT Job Addition

[Slab]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

- Adds the Riot Enforcer job with the following kit. Weapon: M4 Para (the rifle), other RRT loadout items Key Card Level: 3 Requirements: RRT License, Heavy Weapon License, Total Level 50, Combat Level 25 Slots: 1 HP: 250 | Armor: 100

- Adding a 300 second job ban after death.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

- Changes the power imbalance between GenSec and D-Class to be more even
- Adds a new reason to pursue a career in GenSec

- Improving capabilities to counter riots, make effective sweeps, and raid defense

- Gives more of an edge to counter and balance out the fight against the reality bending D-Class

- RRT can take more of an active role with assisting with containment breaches and defending D-Block from anomalies protecting the personnel inside

- Gives more of a purpose for the HWL within GenSec as heavy weapons are prohibited within D-Block.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

- If this class was to perish within D-Block the probability of dropping a more powerful weapon to D-Class

- The job slot would be nearly always filled and not everyone would have a chance at the position

- Gives less of an incentive to riot on D-Class and attempt to escape

- Power imbalance between foundation and other factions

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

- Since the D-Class type blue has been introduced the combative balance between D-Class and GenSec has been tipped greatly. The layout of D-Block is already in the favor of D-Class which has always allowed for the more experienced D-Class to have an edge over GenSec. This will balance out the playing field and allow for a more even fight and defense of D-Block.

- Allowing more people to actually want to play on GenSec, as it stands a lot of people do not wish to play GenSec due to the power imbalance. People feel overwhelmed and feel powerless to the more experienced D-Class combative.

- With the lower numbers of Gensec, it also means less RP for researchers since they can't be served as fast. This addition that will cause an increase in Gensec activity will also allow for more researchers to be served and leading to a more enjoyable RP experience for both our division, research, and the others.

We need this so much. GENSEC has been so imbalanced ever since the addition of the type blue, and this is desperately needed.

+ SUPPORT
-can massivly improve gensec by making people want to activly play in the role rather than leave
-helps against the type blues since gensec usually gets overwhelemed when one spawns
-activly improves RRT with this as now theres more than just the riot officer and riot sergeant

+ Massive Support​

- Gives a new option for GSD player and will bring new players​

- Will greatly help with sweeps​

-Gensec needs help right now, there is constant rioting and the power balance has been in D-class's favor since type blue was addded.
-Allows for gensec to have a fighting chance before having to call in MTF for sweeps

A great addition to give RRT more options and Gensec more strenth.

 

[Ultrash0ck]

SUPORT
-This is gonna be balanced between d class and gensec

+ Would add more interest in the department of General Security
+ Add a strong soldier who would hold similar strength to match the Class D special units (Brute, Scout, Type Blue)
+ Well-made request
Note: This is something that I have wanted to see for awhile now and I feel that this would be a great addition to GSD and the gameplay overall for GSD.

Showcasing yet another reason why RRT > MTF

• This will add the new tool we need to deal with how powerful riots can be now.
• Adds distinction to RRT, cultivating more interest in both licenses.
• Very well written suggestion.
• Will balance out the situation we have with sweeps, likely not needing us to request external department's assistance.

+support
-gensec is greatly under powered compared to d-class currently
-it creates another job for gensec to use almost like another role
-level requirements fit the weapon that comes with the job as if it where mtf
-However im not a big fan of the hp count as thats a little overboard id say keep hp and armour 100

 

["Peasant"]

+Support
-allows RRT to be unique
-People may become more active in the GSD
-Adds a combatant to combat reality benders

 

[Renolk]

Neutral
As the only thing this is going to combat a bit is Reality Benders. It wont do much either, as RRT can already mostly hold D-Block, if needed get MTFs in there as well.
D-Block is already balanced enough id say, other than the reality bending part, as Gensec gets SMGs, that being Mp5, later on, an F90 MBR. RRT gets a KSG. The best weapon a D-Class can get who isnt a reality bender is an UZI on terms of SMGs, and a Deagle on terms of pistols.
D-Class also need a chance to escape, not that GSD hold the place on full lockdown, even when the D-Block itself can only be escaped in 3 ways.

+Support also think itd be cool to replace normal shield with deployable to add more spice to it.

-Reality benders have been a bit of a balance change so this will help
-I feel like it would be fun to have during riots
-seems like a great idea when reality benders are around

W on everything that has been stated however, one issue is the hp is little unnecessary rather 150 and cooldown should be much higher as in 300 seconds if it receives 250 hp

 

[Filip McSpazz]

-support

Bro the reason the type blue was added was because GENSEC have a massive Giga large advantage on D class, adding the type blue narrowed that advantage but y’all still are way way stronger and adding this would just be useless

I agree! Armor is not necessary to be over 100 as it is easily replacedable. 100 armor would be perfect!

-Type Blue D-class is able to wipe out gensec easily
-Also servers as a counter to Scouts and Brutes
