What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Give the Department of Research a “senior CL3” role, much like ISD/DEA have with Investigators and Senior Agents, that is a CL3 role which you can get an ingame whitelist for which does not need a forum application. This role would sit in-between Senior Researcher and Executive Researcher in the Chain of Command.The only name I could really come up with was Specialist Researcher.
The new CoC would become:
Director of Research (CL4 forum application)
Executive Researcher (CL4 forum application)
Specialist Researcher (CL3.5 ingame whitelist)
Sr, CL2, Jr. (CL3,2,1 levels)
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Not to my knowledge.Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Gives a better ranking structure to RSD
- Lets RSD Command give certain people more responsibility and authority without instantly making them CL4
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- Dev time
- Job bloat possibly
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Currently, the Department of Research has quite a lot of very talented and trustworthy seniors who get grouped in with all the… less worthy seniors. Due to Sr. Researcher being the highest rank you can get in RSD without becoming a CL4, you end up getting every single player who isnt an Exec or DoR grouped up into a massive pool of seniors.Letting RSD Command promote people internally to Specialist Researcher would signify that this person is trusted and allowed to do more. The exact procedures and extra permissions would be decided on by RSD Command, of course.
