Ein Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 What are you suggesting? The implementation of a squad system, where MTF and C.I. can organize into Squads to better accomplish their objectives. Taking inspiration from HL2RP, CWRP, and Military RP servers, the Squad system would be a new way of bringing tactics and better communication to SCP-RP. MTF/CI members can create squads (typically NCO's or Command), and the squad system will allow players to quick communicate, be alerted to the death of squad-mates, and overall better utilize tactics. Ideally, members of a squad would be able to see each-others locations on the map (through some sort of dot at the players location) which is only visible to fellow squad mates. It would list the members of the squad on the left side of the screen, including their roles (such as Nu-7 CBRN Unit or E-11 Foxtrot Leader), and one player would be designated Squad Leader (and potentially could even designate a squad co-leader if they need it). Squad leaders should also be able to send messages to the entire squad, and squad members should be able to quickly ping locations and make quick communications (perhaps through a radial menu?) How would this change better the server? A hard-coded squad system allows for MTF to coordinate much better, it gives the opportunity for players without mics to make quick callouts using a menu (such as "Area cleared" or maybe "I need back-up!") It's a quicker way to communicate the same issues. It also encourages players to stick together, you can very often find "lone wolves" who will run out on their own ahead of their squad and will basically remain oblivious to everything else, this will encourage NCO's to take a better leadership position in their branches and will more importantly, allow for the use of tactics. It also allows for Command to better coordinate with NCO's and Enlisted. The role of a command member with this squad system should effectively be inter-squad coordination, telling different Squads to do different tasks. This will also make CI/MTF combat more fun. When MTF stick together, large fights with C.I. are incredibly fun, and increased communication and cooperation between branch members will inevitably lead to more of these fights. Are there any disadvantages of making this change to the server? If so, explain. How this would work with branch command, and implementing this with jobs could be a bit confusing. This is definitely something to talk about further. Who would this change mostly benefit? MTF and C.I.

Darby Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 + Support I believe that this would make a good addition to the server, currently the squad system isn't utilized too much by MTF unless people are asked to form up. With this system our NCOs will be able to set up squads with the enlisted and be able to lead patrols and other activities with ease. Although this can be accomplished by our current server systems, this will increase the efficiency of both the leadership and communication of the team. ~ Depending on the addon, it may add outlines or a HUD with squad-members information. This can be useful but may be abused by people in order to find out information through metagame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
