What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This Suggestion adds a warfund asset for UNGOC that when used would send a transport aircraft to release amnestics on surface.

The Warfund Cooldown would work similarly to how suit cooldown works with the usage of one putting the others on cooldown
The warfund asset would have 3 options:

Class-A Amnestics : 1 300 000 Warfunds, 40min Cooldown LT+ Auth/Request

Class-B Amnestics : 2 300 000 Warfunds, 60min Cooldown CPT+ Auth/Requst

Class-C Amnestics: 3 300 000 Warfunds, 120min Cooldown CPT+ Auth/Requst

Class-D,E,F and X would not be an option.

The Amnestics would only work on those who are not wearing a gas mask or Hazmat Suit and those who are on the surface or in the courtyard of a faction's base. So for example Site-65,UNGOC Bunker and CI Bunker would not be effected, But Site-65 Courtyard and UNGOC Courtyard would be effected

Has something similar been suggested before?:
No, I haven’t been able to find any other similar suggestions


Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

A More RP accurate and a less annoying way of Mass Surface Infobreachs. You would still need to find the source of the infobreach and and destroy it but it makes it so that you don’t need to spend 20+ min kidnapping and Class-A’ing civilians.

Makes Infobreaches actually fun to deal with because now the goal would be finding the physical source of the infobreach instead of trying to find the parawatch on AMX running on the outskirts of the map


Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Potential abuse for it while in combat, however I think its potential uses in combat are VERY situational and wouldn’t even be very helpful for the majority of the time.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted: As I said in the positives section, it would be a more RP accurate way of dealing with mass surface infobreaches and it creates better RP for a surface infobreach instead of dealing with a parawatch that is just trying to be annoying and troll
 
I vaguely recall this having been requested and denied in the past back when Warfunds were GOC's unique mechanic -I forget the reasoning, but honestly?

Although it would obviously need to be accompanied by a rule that you can't use it to curveball raids ala amnestic grenades. But here's my primary reasoning as for why I think this should be a thing:

Surface infobreaches are seldom done because as things are under certain circumstances, they can get too out of hand and are generally considered hard to deal with. Giving the players a means to autonomously deal with them on a larger scale means that infobreach events & gameplay on the surface can become more viable and allow it to be iterated on and potentially made more interesting through theorycrafting and experimentation.

There was a time back when mass infobreaches were dealt with by just pulling everyone that needed to not be amnesticated aside and then doing smth like @@@ Gas emerges from the vents, you forget the last hour

And we still do that to an extent, but with access to Class A nades and GM assistance, I imagine that you can now just toss a bunch of nades and accomplish it that way. I don't know the specifics of how this specifically is approached these days, but I think having something like this could help to make infobreach RP scenarios & events more approachable.
 
It's better than a system message from staff saying "You forgot the last hour" that is lame, overpowered and overused.
This should be a thing for the foundation too, a method of Actually pumping the air vent system with amnestics instead of a system message.

So long as it doesn't overshadow the use of amnestic Grenades, It should be more expensive than many amnestic grenades but not prohibitively so. +Support
