Stormtrooper HP/Kit Update [ST Part: 2 of 5] [Accepted] [In Progress] [Completed]

[Bear_]

Multiple suggestions for Stormtrooper Corps listed below.
This post is specifically for HP/Armor/Kit changes and has been purposely split from the other posts so SMT can review each post separately. Hopefully this helps when reviewing.

Battalion name (F4 job listing): Storm Troopers (As named on server)
New Battalion Name (F4 job listing): Stormtrooper Corps

Reason for name change:
With Shoretrooper Corps name being changed to reflect what it is currently called, its time to fix the Stormtrooper name as well. I believe little changes like this add a little life to the name and make it look more appealing. 

Job/Class Name: Stormtrooper Heavy
Change name to: Stormtrooper Magmatrooper
Or remain the same. Depends on which model acceptance (Black pauldron or Magmatrooper).

Reason for name change:
The Heavy job has been relatively unused for a long time now and what I am suggesting for it is not a subclass but a rebrand and reskin with the suggestion post to follow. With Shoretrooper Heavy and having Heavies in most other battalions now, having a Stormtrooper Heavy seems a little redundant. Magmatroopers are unique to both lore and ST. The Kit, HP, and Armor will all remain the same. This is just a rebrand. Additionally, newer players would be able to get access to a promotional based job that both looks and sounds cool!

The model changes I have in Part: 3 suggest an option for the Magmatrooper Model or the Black pauldron model. Black pauldron within lore just simply means specialization which could suffice as well. 

Job/Class Name: Stormtrooper Sergeant
Change name to: Stormtrooper NCO

Reason for name change:
Reason for change to not be so specific to one rank within NCO and within lore this job is referred to as an NCO.

Weapon kit: E-11 & E-11 No Scope
Current Loadout: Binoculars (White)

Add: cross_arms_swep

Reason for change (do you think that said weapons is suitable for the job and is fair considering current loadouts of other battalions?):
The singular change above just adds a little bit of RP value to the job and, I believe, should be standard across all NCO jobs.  

Health:
- Current: 300
- New: 300

Armor: 
- Current: 100
- New: 150

Reason for health/armor changes:
Increase of 50 Armor to this job will hopefully add a little bit more survivability for the NCO job. 

Do you believe these changes are fair to the battalion/job role it is responsible for and will benefit the server, if so, why?:
Explanations will be given at the end of the post.

Job/Class Name: Stormtrooper Officer
Change name to: Stormtrooper Captain
^Above pending acceptance of Part 3 post.

Reason for name change:
Reason name change being to more accurately reflect lore in Army ranks. Captain is a rank but also a class of leadership within ST. This is reflected within Shoretrooper Corps and Scout Company. What had been proposed to ST leadership is extended NCO job use with deserving troopers moving up to Stormtrooper Captain. Captains also use the Orange Pauldron.

Weapon kit: E-11, E-11 No Scope, EC-17, DP-23
Current Loadout: Binoculars (White), Cross Arms, Cross Arms (In Front)

Add: E-11T (rw_sw_e11t)
Remove: E-11 (rw_sw_e11)

Reason for change (do you think that said weapons is suitable for the job and is fair considering current loadouts of other battalions?):
The Stormtrooper NCO job was given the E-11T awhile back and I believe the Officer job was overlooked with this update. The E-11T is the stronger variant of the E-11 and shows rank status to the lower ranks. 

Health:
- Current: 350
- New: 350

Armor: 
- Current: 100
- New: 150

Reason for health/armor changes:
Increase of 50 Armor to this job will hopefully add a little bit more survivability for the Officer job. 

Job/Class Name: Stormtrooper Vice Commander

Weapon kit: E-11, E-11 No Scope, EC-17, DP-23, DLT-19,
Current Loadout: Binoculars (White), Cross Arms, Cross Arms (In Front)

Add: E-22 (rw_sw_e22)
Remove: E-11 No Scope (rw_sw_e11_noscope)

Reason for change (do you think that said weapons is suitable for the job and is fair considering current loadouts of other battalions?):
The E-22 is a more capable primary weapon for any trooper, especially for one in a Command position. The VCMDR and CMDR kits are okay and really lack a strong primary besides the DLT-19 or DP-23. The E-22 fills that void. 

Health:
- Current: 450
- New: 450 or 500

Armor: 
- Current: 100
- New: 150 or 200

Reason for health/armor changes:
Increases of HP and Armor to this job will hopefully add a little bit more survivability for the VCMDR job. With weapons being buffed and HP changes across the board, I feel as if these changes are need to keep with the times.

Job/Class Name: Stormtrooper Commander

Weapon kit: E-11, E-11 No Scope, EC-17, DP-23, DLT-19
Current Loadout: Binoculars (White), Cross Arms, Cross Arms (In Front)

Add: E-22 (rw_sw_e22)
Remove: E-11 No Scope (rw_sw_e11_noscope)

Health:

- New: 500 or 550

Armor: 
- Current: 100
- New: 200

Reason for health/armor changes:

Do you believe these changes are fair to the battalion/job role it is responsible for and will benefit the server, if so, why?:

After talking in great detail with both AHC and ST Command, I believe this changes are fair to both the battalion and the server. The Stormtrooper Corps is meant to be the dominant force within Army with a multitude of Corps and Companies branching off from the main body. Very similar to the Shoretrooper Corps and Scout Company. This, as well as, the following posts are moving the Stormtrooper Corps towards that direction. Strengthening ST proper is a necessary step in maintaining activity and growth with ST and their sub-regiments. 

All of these changes have been thoroughly thought through and discussed by ST Command, SHC, AHC, myself, and others. These changes will benefit the battalion, Army, and the server by strengthening their jobs and the battalion as a whole.
