I feel it's also a lack of leadership within the Foundation side to be honest. Whilst CI raids come in with strategies and plans on what they are going to achieve that raid it feel that Foundation just have - throw ourselves at CI, then because it's a hold that doesn't work. They then try and switch it up to push with a dimension! Once again doesn't work because CI come prepared with scrantons and cards ect. and I get that it's difficult to push a hold don't get it wrong but we are a research and storage site for many SCPs which have advantageous samples which can take the edge off of CI.Foundation despise chemicals because of the combative edge they give to CI.
I wish we had the goblin samplers which would allow for a lot of samples like 966, tg, 106 ect. to make chems like NHU to help all the MTF regiments at least try and counter the strats CI have been throwing at the foundation for honestly months. It's always the same things on rotation and because they continue to work, there's no reason for CI to change that.
But yeah lacking of getting high value easy chems (such as 008) leads to us not being able to fully fund MTF groups like NU-7 who are meant to be combating our main issue. 1L of 008 blood valued around 15k can allow for someone to make nearly 20L of potent and because Foundation literally own 008 there's an infinite supply for us to take advantage of. I get lore wise WHY we aren't allowing 008 samples as a regular thing but there isn't even really that much you can do with it IC and CI regularly take it without problems.
I feel the chemical system should be more RP related anyway but at the current state at least let us compete against CI with chemicals and allow us to fund the MTF groups fighting them...
