Content Suggestion D-Block Rework

Content Suggestions will be reviewed by Content Team weekly, please allow time as not everything can be reviewed at once.
What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

This changes D-Block, in it's entirety, to something fresh and a little more beneficial to the Security Department. D-Block has been the same since I have played in 2022 with the slight changes of how rooms in the area work along with a door and the ventz train system.

This suggestion proposes we uproot the current layout of D-Block and remake it into something new, which can still fit with layout of the map externally: such as the train and entrance/exits of D-Block.

D-Block feels more like a cave you struggle to live inside of rather than a sophisticated jail for the most powerful organisation on earth. I suggest that the D-Class part of D-Block gets revamped and maybe changed in shape to accommodate more or a change in the shape of the cells area; a new colour scheme to the walls, especially showers which needs a rework to look nicer or just slightly different, and maybe rework the main plateau to be more efficiently shaped.

As for the Security side of D-Block, space is the main issue, it needs to be effectively pushed from the entrance towards the D-Class part to give security some more space and the walls be made into walls instead of this cave feel. To top this off I think catwalk, watchtower and the airlock could do with a rework to make it harder for D class to break out but once they reach these checkpoints they're easier to hold. At the moment people playing GSD die on and off constantly whenever they go into these extra zones whereas this would make this death more preventable but maintaining these POIs become very important as if D class took over it would be hard to take these back which should hopefully balance it.


Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Probably but I couldn't find any recent ones

PossiblePositives of the suggestion (At least 2):
1) New players have a more enjoyable experience, especially those who like D-Class and Security from these changes
2) Changes the gameplay loop in a good way to encourage roleplay on a minor level by making combat in what is supposed to be a prison section harder
3) makes combat more interesting and could lead to better negotiation scenarios due to these POIs being better to hold

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
1) Changes a significant and core aspect of the server
2) It's OG, people like that but change is sometimes necessary

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

D-Block could do with a change ultimately, this may be different and new and even difficult to interpret and do, but D-Block deserves a proper overhaul not just some minor changes it's been the same pretty much since 2022.

Addendum: If anyone has anything they'd like to add to this suggestion to help flesh it out I would really appreciate please feel free to DM me on discord and I'll add it in :)

D block is one of the most if not the most important areas on the server as for most new players this will be their first experience of the server.
It's also a core part of the server as GSD is the entry level combat job most people choose to go into. In my time on the server since 2023 the only change I've seen is a door being added and a kitchen being taken away.

Does this do anything to help the roleplay loop? Probably not.

A lot of focus is put on GOIs for what seems like semi frequent reworks and updates, even lobby and garage had a full rework while d block has had none. GOIs are not an entry level role, especially for roles like GOC most people will never go in to.

I don't know if a rework is in the making as a previous response suggested but it is very needed, changes to inner d block to make gameplay more interesting (Add some toilets for Crow), maybe tasks or jobs other than collecting scrap? Especially now we have the capability to add a crafting system. A bigger and more efficient system would be useful with a most streamlined medical and testing line, maybe an actual area for researchers to stand so they don't get gunned down by d class getting cycled? I think with a bit of consultation with players who main GSD daily and have for years d block can be brought in line with the advancement of the rest of the server
