Conric005 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 What are you suggesting? - I am suggesting that the Senior Maintenance job is given a heavily restricted toolgun. To clarify, the toolgun wouldn't have access to most tools like welding and ropes, and will only have access to signs and maybe lights. There would be a limit on the amount of lights and signs that each player can place, maybe 1 sign and 2 lights. The lights can also be replaced with lamps if needed when implementing. How would this change better the server? - This would help maintenance live up to the building aspect of the job, allowing a certain rank of maintenance to advertise their armor stations and general RP builds, and also allow for more visibility, especially when building in 432 for example. Are there any disadvantages of making this change to the server? If so, explain. - The only disadvantages I can see with adding this would be a slight increase in lag on the server, what with the signs and lights/lamps being placed. There is also always the possibility for people playing Senior Maintenance to use this to minge, however seeing as how all players can see who placed what signs/lights, it shouldn't be too hard to moderate and remove any mingy signs. Who would this change mostly benefit? - This would mainly benefit maintenance, however I can also see this change affecting the rare case where gensec/mtf either can't see the armor station or doesn't know where the said armor station is. Please link any workshop content, screenshots, or anything that you think may be helpful to those who view this suggestion - Through the research i've done I haven't able to find any toolgun restricting addon out there, and the ones that might work might be hard to implement without breaking something in the process. Normally I would put this suggestion in the maintenance discord channel only, however I have put it here so that more people who might know if an addon like this exists will have a chance to see it.

styx Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 -/+support I like this idea a lot but i say you are only allowed to spawn signs when you are mp and you can spawn lights and maybe one more sign at Me This can get abused and i don't know if this can fully work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, I'd imagine that maybe we could put in strict punishments for minging with a toolgun like that, maybe a strike or even multiple strikes when stuff like that happens.

Shin Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 See here, if you restrict it to ME, a new Maintenance class would have to be created.

MexicanGuy Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 +Support One of the main reasons I got into maintanence was because I wanted to be able to build things inside the foundation, but to be honest building without a toolgun is difficult. I think that putting lights or signs is unnecessary in a Senior Maitanence job. What can really help would be the precision tool, material.

Chief_ Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 - Support Tool guns are bound to ULX ranks and not jobs. To my knowledge they would need to create a brand new ULX rank for that and then add every single new maintenance member to the ULX rank. Or edit each ULX rank to restrict it to just those things. Its kindoff not needed/unnecessary.

But to possibly give it to command jobs could be possible but of coarse I'd have to ask for SMT approval, can bring it up to em!
