Here are some of the future plans for ImperialRP Hello ImperialRP community, this post is about some of the future plans Beckett, Nimo, and I have discussed since his and Nimo’s return to the server. Moreover, I want to openly apologize for the lack of updates regarding the server, due to the arrival of the holidays and with no other Senior Management at the time, it left me to deal with a lot of extra work I wasn’t prepared for. Map Rotation Update I’m aware a selection of you have been waiting a while now for this to be updated and now I can assure you that it is back in progress. Most of the maps from the old rotation are in the process of being removed (or are already removed) from in-game. Additional maps will be implemented within the next couple days, so be prepared. Maps being added. - Rhen Var - Tropical Jungle - City District - Nar Shaddaa New Donation Items With the extra support in our team, we are returning to scheduling the implementation of new donation items each month. Some of which are planned to be custom made. Main Map, Base Map, and Custom Event Maps Regarding the return of Beckett, one of our main plans will be getting another update for our custom Star Destroyer map! In addition, we have plans on producing another custom semi permanent base map for us to use when we want to utilise occupation events! Lastly we will potentially be working around to getting optimised custom event maps for our GM team to use. Regiment rehauls Other plans Becket and I have discussed involve rehauling some of our regiments to improve their activity and retention of new recruits. We cannot go into much detail at this given time as we are still in the works and further discussions will need to be had. Future new battalions and jobs There are plans on adding one or more regiments, to expand our range of jobs our players would like to RP as. Moreover, we also have plans to do some job changes to our current regiments to improve their overall quality and performance. Server optimisations One of our main goals at the moment is to focus on server optimisations. This has been a goal from day 1 and we are always finding addons/packs for us to optimise, therefore making the server more stable with faster joining times. Suggestions There have been further discussions involving the status of suggestions and we will be making it a priority in SMT where these are reviewed at least weekly. Taking on the feedback of the community and listening to what they want to see on the server.

This post is locked as we will deal with the rest within SMT (as all these reports are handled).

I'm going to leave my two cents on here, as I have watched this report get discredited by invalid points, and at this point I feel it necessary to speak up. I've debated heavily with myself whether or not I was going to comment on this report, but given the circumstances and my own personal ethical and moral beliefs, I have decided to share my opinions on the matter. I'm first going to ask that for any of you that read this comment, to take a second to actually think about what this report means. As far as I can tell, This report is not a personal attack against hotshot nor is it a witch hunt or a scheme to get back at him. To the best of my ability I can interpret this report as a genuine report where the concerned party is worried about the future of ImperialRP. I've read the entirety of this report, multiple times, and read every comment on this post, and I myself (obviously) have more experience than anybody else on this matter. With that being said, I fully agree with the report, and I will explain why. For the sake of the length of this reply, I'm not going to comment on everything, just the things that I find to be the most important. Regarding the Situation with Spectre: I'm not familiar with the reserves part of this complaint, but what I am familiar with is the fact that Spectre was outed as an alt account of a member with 40 warnings, and only received a temporary staff restriction as a punishment. Many many many different SMT members that I have asked about this situation stated that Spectre should have been blacklisted for that. Its been our policy for years that you simply cannot do that, and we've banned countless others for doing the same thing. Why should Spectres situation be any different? I firmly believe that Hotshots decision to keep Spectre and minimally punish him was a direct result of bias, and should have not happened. Regarding the situation with Chico: I read what Hotshot stated about this "Certain ranks don't get access", and that is simply just not true. Hotshot could have given Chico the permission to help him, he just didn't. I have seen this happen countless times where Hotshot has refused help from people who wanted to do more, and for someone who claims to not have any time, he sure does turn down help. I firmly believe that part of the reason there is/was a lack of SMT on ImperialRP is because of this. Regarding Hotshot Promoting River: Even if River was doing his job was JMT, I firmly believe that promotion should have never happened. While sometimes people do "slip" through the cracks, there is absolutely no excuse for that in my eyes. It was so blatantly obvious that river was doing sketchy shit, I myself found out about it in literally minutes. River was not properly vetted for that promotion, and I feel that had Hotshot put in a little more time and asked for others opinions, it wouldn't have happened. Regarding the lack of content/updates: I more than anybody in this community can understand how hard it may be to get out updates sometimes, as I managed a server alone for over 2 years. However, that is not an acceptable excuse in this scenario. The only acceptable excuse that I could accept is Zeus gaming, but for the months that followed after Zeus gaming? That is unacceptable in my opinion. From what I am told hotshot had opportunities to ask for help, but refused them. Not only that, but especially with something as simple as branch updates and job code. I understand Hotshot stated that it was low priority, but the question I ask then is what was high priority at that time? The report states that basically no updates were done for over 2 months, so if that wasn't high priority then what was? Also regarding the lack of a map additions/removals, Hotshot stated that the reporter has no knowledge of the progress on that. I find that frankly to be straight up BS. If there are broken maps on the server, they should be removed as soon as possible, especially if they break the server beyond repair until restart. Not only that, but the lack of map additions as well? How does that have anything to do with the reporter not being able to see the progress of those tasks. Its common knowledge what maps are/aren't on the server, and they havent been updated in months, so that doesnt make sense. Regarding Hotshots responsibilities in Real Life: This is by far the most important rebuttal that Hotshot made, and that others are making in his defense. Nobody in this entire community will fault Hotshot for having a life, having bills to pay, and having shit to take care of. Every single one of us does. That isn't the important part. If Hotshot does not have the time to handle his responsibilities here, then I pose the important question, why would he not resign? If you all are not aware, there was a time in my life where I was in a similar position as Hotshot. I was mostly unavailable, unable to perform updates and duties, and I felt like absolute shit about it. I felt like I was letting my server down, and instead of sticking around for months and months being unavailable, I resigned. That is the mature thing to do. I took an LOA, and when I came back I still found myself unable to perform, and therefore I took it upon myself to leave for the betterment of the server. At this point, this is the thing that bothers me the most. I find it INCREDIBLY disrespectful how Hotshot has continued to let the server go astray while being majorly unavailable to do his tasks. I will never fault somebody for what they have to do in real life. But if Hotshot knows, (and has known for months), that he cannot perform his tasks, he should not still be here. He has a responsibility to the server, and to this community, and if he can no longer perform it due to in real life responsibilities, then this should not be dragged out any longer. Side note, in no way should Hotshot have responded to this report, as I find that incredibly immature and borderline predatory. Thank you for reading, ~Igneous.

Don't really have much to say, I couldn't really keep up in GL anymore, it got more boring and I started to get burned out, it was mainly the same situation as it was in Security. It was fun and I thank everyone who had been a good friend along this trip If I had met you most likely you were a person I enjoyed talking to you. Sorry for not doing the mentions bit just wanted to keep this short.

+support licked my toes

DENIED We agree that the HUD needs an update, however, we didn't think these HUDs would suit our Star Wars Roleplay theme. *SMT reserves the right to reverse this decision at any time, even after the suggested contents addition to the server*

You have to get it this time! I believe in you!

Mr. never gets PD. o7

+Support You say that certain ranks don't get this privileges yet Emoo was given access to Gitlab for these updates. I was extremely excited and motivated to work alongside you, however, I was turned away at almost every point. My opinions as a HoS didn't matter to you at all. I was your only SMT member and I tried my best to assist you, but due to me not getting any of these privilege's that other HoS had, I couldn't do anything to help with updates. I was the HGM (Event Team Lead) and JMT of the time when I suggested a multitude of updates that would better assist event quality. The updates would include - New map rotation. - Different tools. All of which you said would be in soon, and yet even after I retired from being HoS they have not been implemented into the server. On the note of how slow updates are implemented, your response time was horrendous. I do understand timezone differences, however, when there is something that is important, and I don't get a response, it is hard to do my job as the HoS, especially with no other SMT. There is always excuses, you say you don't have management so you can't do something but you're not attempting to fix this situation. Almost everything that requires a swift response to, you delay, and you delay it heavily. Just because the shock documents were replaced due to copies made by high command does not mean that there should be public documents still tied to GL with mein kampf translated. High command members pinged you on several occasions in attempt to revert these documents that STILL haven't been fixed. In terms of the new SMT being chosen, I was never consulted with despite being the HoS, I would've liked if my opinion was considered in the slightest. "This isn't really Hotshot fault, whenever someone is moved up to SMT it is talked between almost all of the SMT team and Zeeptin." - Emoo There is a huge issue within management and it must be rectified before the hit in both management, RP, and player count continues. If you are going to be + or - supporting this topic, please read ALL of the points that are made. Don't take one point that you disagree on and disregard the entirety of the report because of it. There have been many faults that have been shown here, many that are inexcusable. For those of you who are viewing this topic and yet are too scared to comment on it, don't be. You will not be punished in any way for speaking your mind and how you feel.

Boom! Life comes at you fast, doesn't it? One minute, I'm on Site-05 messin' around with SCPs and D-Class. The next, I'm on Site-50, messin' around with weapons of mass destruction and unstable nuclear component. Damn, where did that time go? I remember being just a humble Junior Researcher in 2020, didn't know anything about SCP lore or how the server worked, and I was completely lost. Had it not been for the friendly faces and even friendlier teachers, I probably wouldn't have stayed. Crazy to think that was now two years ago. I was shocked at how amazing this place is, and there is truly no other place like it. Alas, time catches up with us all, and it is now my time to say that goodbye.
