Content Suggestion Give Either F/CI Cartographer The Old E-11 Bio Model (Repost)

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:
To my knowledge, the old E-11 Biohazard model (models/cod_aw_hazmat_player.mdl) is still in the content pack. This suggestion aims to have this currently unused model repurposed for the newer relatively new Cartographer jobs, being either for the Chaos Insurgency OR The Foundation.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Yes! But I was told to repost it since the entire content team has changed since it was last suggested.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
+ Higher Quality Model
+ More Visually Appealing
+ More Theme Appropriate
+ Not Confused With RAISA/Engineers
+ Less Confusion For CI (Looks Combative)


Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- Possible Confusion For Older Players
- Requires S.Admin For Job Config


Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I believe a model change for the cartographer jobs will help bring some activity and subsequently more diverse RP to the research department or incentivising some much needed activity on CI jobs capable of leading/creating Passive RP. Also the model looks cool as hell.

For context, the cartographer CI model ran all the way through frontal to medbay and no one noticed him because it just looked like a normal hazmat suit lol

...Why was this accepted in the past? IIRC the old E-11 biohazard model is from a CoD game, and a big reason for removing the old Combat Medic model was that it's from Payday 2? I agree the model should be changed, but I'm fairly certain there's a desire to move away from just using other games' models haphazardly for regular server content, in the interest of reducing any kind of liability that comes from using another games' assets.

If it's deemed okay to use for the time being, then I guess it's fine...? But IDK.

I'd rather both of the jobs have their own custom models but that doesn't seem likely for a while. We happen to use edited CoD/R6 models for Nu7, E-11 Bio and CI right now though.
