What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
[Okay, this is a long one and I don't use Chat GPT so hang in with me.
So. The SHORT thing is:
Remove inner regiment chemical/item transfer excluding Event items, and items purchased by Vpoints.
Give other factions things foundation doesn't have with trade value.
If you have questions read long form.
Long form:
If we look at real world interactions and negotiations with nations it tends to boil down to "You have Thing, I want Thing, I have Other Thing, I give you Other Thing for Thing."
At this time this is NOT the case for the server. But it should be, how we can do this is very simple but will require work from dev and maybe mappers.
1. Remove inner character item transfer. Meaning if I get class A on Foundation I shouldn't also have it on CI or GOC or civi too if I swap characters. If I have a Freedom on CI I shouldn't have it on Foundation and GOC or civi. This makes chemicals now more valuable across characters and factions.
2. Give GOC, and CI, their own SCP to sample and test on. It doesn't matter if these are existing SCP or new SCP, preferably SCP people like to sample or are encouraged to via chemical mixes OR give them things only they can make and would be able to trade with the other factions, like Guns, Containment Items, Healing Items, or something people would value and want.
3. Give Civilians a use to CI. Make civilians targets to CI, and make it where Civilans are encouraged to exist. Be it they deliver materials to GOC, or they have stuff only they can make and sell to GOC and Foundation. Not spawn like the current guns, make, like we do for cooking or chemicals. If it's spawn shitters will just book it to their faction with the items.
So after all 3 of those are done, materials have value for trading between factions, civilians have something to fear/do, and we have created a standard conflict loop. That being CI is dangerous to civis, and one of GOC's points if existence now exist, being protecting civilians.
Now, GOC asking to sample a SCP can be negotiate. GOC isn't just begging at the doorstep or raiding like CI, they're negotiating, and Foundation wants something from GOC, so they're not just letting them in out of kindness, they're letting them in for future politics.
Now, CI raiding Foundation has a true purpose and goal, not just "lol we're bored let's make shit up to mass breach." (Same vice versa) And has a reason to negotiate with GOC, they also have natural conflict of intrest with GOC, being Civilians being a target of theirs.
Now, Foundation has things to look out for and reason to wonder "Why is this person sampling, let me check them." Not just looking for who's shooting who.
We now have natural conflict and negotiations for materials.]
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
[I don't know.]
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
[Natural RP between factions
Material Value increases
Conflict now has reason beyond high school drama teir crap
Opens doors to new sub regiments in non-combative groups]
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
[People will get mad they can't swap to Foundation, sample a scp, and shit it out on GOC/CI for no reason.
Foundation mad they can't do the same for surface SCPs.
High amount of dev work, some mapper work.]
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
[This server is a combat server with RP undertones right now. 90% of the time you're acting like a fool and waiting for the next raid, or AFK in bunks. Adding some depth beyond "Mmm goc hab BIG gun!" Or "We breach monders!" Or "I shoota da orage, gren, an blu ppl!" Could add a bit of excitement and natural growing lore/conflict we lack. ]
