Content Suggestion Just Give 012 To CI 4Head

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:

Consider relocating 012 to CI Base. The relocation would be accompanied by a GM event wherein CI basically heist 012, establishing that they now have it. This would have to be a consideration done following the upcoming CI Base rework - How to handle the existing map geometry in Foundation's LCZ and how to set up a new containment in CI Base for 012 map-wise. This also may allow some optimisation of the map in multiple aspects all things depending, however that is larger in scope than this suggestion.

Alternatively, consider making it less of a "permanent" inanimate map fixture, and more something unfixed that can be stolen by CI and held in their base until retrieved via trade or recovery raid, similar to other stealable SCPs - Although even though this would make it more flexible and enable involvement of GOC, this may be a more undesirable option as this adds more map, more stuff in terms of entities, etc.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:

There is a currently active suggestion to remove 012 altogether. This is an alternative suggestion that puts forward the idea of instead relocating it.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

  • + Basically, CI's very own SCP that it fits them to have? Potentially increasing use of 012

  • + Substantially less abuse of 012 by Foundation

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

  • - Considerable development time, Content & Map-wise, potentially an infeasibly high amount depending on approach

  • - If simply relocated (cut out of F base and moved to CI with some texture changes), would basically leave a blank featureless space in LCZ

  • - Less SCPs for RSD to interact with

  • - GOC: 😑

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

General consensus is that 012 is largely underused and doesn't particularly do much, however people are split on the idea of it being removed. I propose giving it to CI as an alternative option that, while it may not have the same benefits as outright removing it, it does mean that it will still get use - And potentially even more use than it has right now? I would wager that CI already use 012 more than F do anyway, so why not just give it to them? ...Aside from the fact that that'd probably be a very large undertaking for not really any tangible result.
