Denied [US/UK] Increase requirements for Combat Medic

[Harold Hawks]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

This suggestion is to change the requirements of becoming a combat medic by needing 20 levels in combat experience as well.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

This would give us more competent combat medics in the secondary field of which they’re already required, and it would make it so that not just anyone who’s gotten their medical license could be given a level 3 keycard and combat personnel duties.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

This suggestion would make it harder for people to become a combat medic, making them rarer to come by. Would also likely be unpopular due to the boons it currently gives.

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

I am aware that the combat medic role already requires 40 levels in combination with other classes, however it is fair to say that it’s easy to get 40 levels through D-Class and combat levels along with the already necessary 10 support levels.
Combat Medics essentially have the same authority as Sergeants in GenSec, but their requirements are easier to fulfill despite having access to medical equipment on-the-go. This is why I recommend the requirements be increased.

Thought this was just added, they changed it to support level 20 & total level 40.

The whole point of combat medic is to still be a medic. They are just armed with a weapon and given the proper authorization to perform combative duties when absolutely needed.

Yknow what I can get behind this at least man. My issue is that as a level 10 support you can choose to either be a normal doctor with an L2 and no combat duties or a combat medic with an L3, armor, guns, the whole shabang. Just something to distinguish it.

lvl 20 support takes ages to get, literally no reason + its locked behind a license

this is something ive been looking i've been looking into personally and sadly theres not much increasing we can do without Devs reworking their level cap system all we can do is make it a regiment or make CM a whitelisted role which frankly isnt going to work either so

I'm not entirely against adding a combat level requirement to it. Though I think 20 combat is a bit much, especially given how had it is to initially grind for 20 support.

Suggestion Denied​

Hi Harold,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.
The Content Team has chosen to deny your suggestion due to the following reasons.

We currently don't see a reason to increase the requirements.
Usually, unprofessionalism is dealt with internally and if we were to put combat 20 as a requirement it would only allow non-RP interactions with people that only want to combat.
Although we are looking into other ways to get combat medics to be more specialized.

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as denied.​
