What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Removes the SCP-500 pills that both MC&D & D-Class Scout spawn with / can spawn. These can be replaced with an alternative, of which I will not specify as that is not the nature of my suggestion. Currently, SCP-500 is a Clearance Level 3/4 SCP item. Despite this, it is widely known about and used by personnel down to CL1. This is because it's easily acquired, contradicting the lore of the object itself (in that the capacity of 500 pills is limited, and irreplicable). And, is possessed freely by D-Class scouts.
My suggestion, simply, is that this item no longer be sold through the medium of MC&D, or provided to D-Class upon spawning. I'd like to see, overall, a focus on bringing secrecy back into the RP atmosphere. It feels now like everyone knows... Everything. And simple things like an SCP being classified to Clearance Level 3 are ignored for the sake of convenience. This isn't to say it's the fault of any players, though. Who wants to amnesticate every CL1 / CL2 personnel who had the item info breached, and or sold to them by an MC&D? That, or the Cadet who innocently weaponed checked a D-Class scout.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
To my knowledge, no.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- A more 'realistic' arsenal for both D-Class and MC&D that does not contradict other content on the server.
- SCP-500 can now be coveted, and used more frequently in RP.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- Someone might try and argue 'balancing'. Sure, but it's easy enough to give D-Class a field kit or such if that's a concern. In terms of MC&D, they need a little more to do, period. But, this could easily be replaced with an alternative item of almost any kind.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Overall, I don't see much of a harm in this. It could cause increased use of SCP-500 in RP, as opposed to a shitty sold item, or one that D-Class spawn with. It might make the scarcity of the item a little more prevalent in RP, too.
