Make RIG Units a self defense only class - Denied


Comrade Boekhom

Recommended Posts

Please make sure suggestions are pertinent and relevant! 

What you want to see? -  RIGS made a self defense class

Why should we add it? -  Right now RIGS are allowed to attack ANY hostile they see. They were made to be ESCORTS for research, meaning they should only attack if said research or themselves are being attacked, as of now the class gives Research a free combat class, unlike utility HLPR bots who can only attack in self defense

What are the advantages of having this? -  fairness across branches

Who is it mainly for? - Everyone

RIGs are meant to act like a MTF/GENSEC but not taking over their job of course. They should have the right to shoot and kill on site if it is a hostile. They are meant to do that and not just stand by and just watch a class d walks past taunting them and immediately killing the escorted or the escort.

I'm sorry but show me where it says we can shot any hostile because I don't remember reading that?

A RIG online earlier was claiming you guys were 

Anyways, +support. Research is a non-combat branch and RIG’s should be treated like HLPR bots.

Just to add to my argument about this suggestion

 

RIG are already terrible enough due to the tick rate buff, it is basically a GENSEC officer but with weaker gun and base health and armor. 

We have to remember that RIGs are robots, they are programmed to shoot on site, we have a full set of weapons for a reason. If you are a class D or a CI just running around and came across a RIG, expect to be shot as they are meant to do that, they eliminate threats to keep research and other personnel safe.

I always thought RIG was made to fill the void of security/mtf not being able to escort research. That being said I would think that they would uphold the same properties by eliminating hostiles that might interfere with their escort. Now if RIG Units where just running around without an escort killing things it would be a different story entirely. I am also not opposed to suggestion being accepted as it wouldn't change much.

Rig are instructed to protect researchers and their testing environment.
They should not be going lonewolf; I go over a briefing with each of them to ensure this.

RIGs are not meant to patrol. However if they come across a hostile, they shoot them. RIGs shouldn't be taking the job of a GENSEC or MTF, they are meant to fill the void when GENSEC or MTF are understaffed. 

 

RIGs shouldn't be patrolling, they should be protecting researchers if there's any flag on, they help fill the void and the need for an escort when GENSEC or MTF is understaffed.

RIG unit squash was going lonewolf so you might wanna look into your RIGs going kamikaze.

Let Research Command know if they go lone wolf.

-Support.

If a RIG sees CI while escorting a researcher, he should KOS them. Doing anything other than that could result in the researcher being kidnapped or cuffed. Furthermore, D-Class pose the same danger, they could result in research deaths if they aren't terminated or fear-rped on sight.

This doesn't pertain to this suggestion at all. This is about making them a 'self-defense class', not a 'KOS' class.

CI already do not kill everyone they see unless you call them out or something. Most D-Class do the same, they purposely avoid combat with all Utility and Research so they can not be killed through self-defense. I believe RIG should have the same courtesy, unless CI or D-Class attack you first, or make themselves out to be a threat, like trying to use you as a shield, or shooting above your head or something, then that makes sense, but outright shooting a D-Class who ran past ignoring you should not be KOS. 

I +Support this, in my mind, Gensec and MTF are Military branches who are there to protect the facility and Research are there to Research. It doesn't make sense for a class which does not fall under this Military category to go out of there way to engage an enemy unless through self-defense. This same mindset goes for ACM, I feel like every branch is trying to create their own personal Security-MTF class that does their job for them.  All my opinions however.

-Support, RIG's should be allowed to shoot D-Class/CI on sight during an escort. Lets be fair here, if they dont shoot first, CI/D-Class will.

*Outside of escorts this should not be the case however, if they are not escorting they should follow standard self-defence rules

Not necessarily we’re very lenient with the warnings we give before we shoot non-combatants. For example, I was in a fire fight in the middle of the LCZ and some janitor walks in between us so he can go pick up trash. (I don’t understand why tho). Anyways,  I tried my best not to shoot to be kind/reasonable cuz Jr janitors just want to enjoy themselves.

when I was in research I thought they behaved like normal researchers, self defense or when someone has a gun out near you since you feel “threatened” not like this changes much.

the thing is, this is exactly what happens, almost every single bot i see just sits in a place and guns down ci/d-class with no escorting going on but even on escorts they should only attack if the ESCORTEE or THEMSELVES get attacked, again like HLPR bot

research is not a combat job, job was proposed to the community as a way to take the pain of escorting of MTF. Not a someone pointed out ‘act as mtf when needed’. That is stupid.

I am sick to death of bored RIGS walking around and doing stuff such as: Hunting CI instead of protecting research, using thermals and hunting infils and providing an option of combating ci to research.

Yet again, when people supported this idea it was so that Research could have protection / escorts more often. Not become a combat branch that hints CI.

+/- support. Imo I don't think RIG's should be going "Kamikaze", but if they're escorting researchers they should be able to protect the researcher if they feel threatened. They are escorts after all.  Also doesn't CI shoot RIG's if they have a weapon out?

I'm leaning to +support because yesterday (squash) was in a choke hallways literally doing security's job with no researcher in site (I don't even know if 1 was on). This is not the first time I've seen this happen and sadly my recording software is bugging out so I don't have any video of him doing it. I  think if the RIGS could switch over to like HLPR Bot Alpha's for technical than it would make a little more sense. It's been really good actually with D-class and CI not shooting up the HLPR Bots and i think this shows that D-class and CI aren't shoot first ask questions later type of mentality that I've seen some people suggest.  I'll be fine if this gets enforced more than I wouldn't mind it but if it continues than idk because the RIGS can cripple D-class down a long hallway same with CI.

Jack isn't there a rule against CI shoot utility?

E4 and CCs can still shoot us and HLPR Bots can be hacked and that's also gone down so I think it would be better to maybe move RIGS to self defense unless command can start enforcing the no lone wolf rule.
