While Delta-42 was a real character, the proper way about going to use said character has not been made. As of now, Patrick will not longer be "Delta-42" regardless of the permission between Boss & the Regimental. Both of whom do not even have the authority to make such a call. Should the desire for Delta-42 be great, someone will need to have a meeting with a Director about either the approval of a named character meaning that the name "Delta-42" would be allowed for use but have no job to it. (Similar as to the NULL Jedi who use the Knight Job but are a named character) OR A Server Suggestion to add in the job and it will be up to the Community to decide if the name, lore, loadout, payrate and everything else involved in the job is fair. ----- To add to this, Patrick will revert back to a CT PVT due to resigning from his previous Battalion but his previous rank of SFC will stand and be transferable to whichever Battalion he wishes to go to. For any further inquiries, feel free to contact me through TeamSpeak.

-1 You have 126 available characters, use them wisely.

This is the same map we tried before, there's something about it that causes people to randomly crash or not even be able to join the server.

Meanwhile has two entire paragraphs as a signature.

I'm just generally curious where the favoritism argument is coming from in regards to the High Council, because if it were true I'd go as far as push for a Council wipe if I were a player.

As far as I know we don't have a developer for something like this so this seems highly unlikely. Maybe Maxwell but he's already busy with the game mode and chatbox system.

CoC here we come. I doubt this will be possible, would require editing D3A and thus potentially breaking it.

+1 if it doesn't create substaintial lag or crash the server.

-1 It's the exact same as a normal trooper because it is a normal trooper, just a Torrent Company one. What's special about it? It's right there in the name, that it's in Torrent Company; thus exclusive. Just because the tryouts are hard doesn't mean you should get more stuff for it - considering tryouts can change, that would mean this change would have to correlate to it. You want something, buy it from the perm store.

Guess that's why RC's heads were so big.

More expensive. 5,000-10,000. Even then I still feel it's cheap. There needs to be a balance that will truly make people question if it's worth buying the rockets or not. Thinking "I'll buy them anyways" shouldn't be an option unless you got money to waste. If you are okay with dying with the rockets you purchased, it's too cheap. Grenades? No. That's 250 bullets you're able to shoot non-stop. If you've managed to empty out the whole clip you've exhausted all your resourfces and need to plan ahead. If it's not a 1-life I'm sure you can respawn with ease to get the clip back, otherwise - it's a prototype, maybe we don't have that ammo readily available? No.

So, it most likely will be required to be handed out by the Gamemaster as they will have to take this into account for events due to the minor lag it adds. The more people are around the person making the cover the more lag it will create as the ghosted preview is visible to anyone around that person. The cool part is that we can make our on fortifications by just swapping the model in the code, such as if we find walls or barricades that are in the style of Star Wars we can use those instead of sandbags and etc. I'd say +1 based on what the extent of the lag is. And of course event server only.

More textscreens on the server, more props, more lag. When it gets to a severe situation then maybe we'll waste another half FPS on a textscreen up there. Until then it's just a regular server rule. As it stands, during DEFCON 6 or any ordinary situation, you may not be on top of ATC. You are to be at ease, doing your regular duty and that in no way would require you to be on top of ATC (unless you make a meme excuse to try and play against the rules). When outside of such DEFCON and either during a combat situation or with a good reason, you may get up there for strategical purposes such as getting a good line of sight with a sniper because that is utilizing your envinorment - but also realize you are making the ATC a more focused target if enemies become aware that's where they are being attacked from. So, just like cloaking, saber ignition, firing, etc, is not allowed on DEFCON 6 neither is being on top of ATC. Once you're in a combat situation, then it's strategical advantage.

The option to add a file was removed for security purposes so I doubt it will be added back.

@Alfa

He is the first of his class, 1041th.

In my opinion I would prefer they add stuff all battalions can enjoy rather than add a new battalion and split the community further. By stuff I mean instead of models & battalion taking up space, it could be new vehicles, weapons, add-ons, etc. 187th had their time and it indeed was glorious and lasted a good bit, but part of wanting the battalion back is simply nostalgia.

-1 You're comparing how things were in the begining to now. Midway through the Founders stated they want to push the server into a more lore-friendly state and have countless times said 187th wouldn't come back due to their lack of lore.

"no point in changing the name to Shadow Company" Stealth Operations and Shadow Troopers are two different things. Due to the lack of lore for Shadow Troopers, things were put into the Battalion to flush it out more. Shadow Troopers "BCMD" was Director of Republic Intelligence Armand Isard. The original goal of Shadow Troopers was espionage, in & out stealth operations. Eventually it evolved into a more of assassination/stealth attack division as the war progressed. Stealth Operations were specifically trained for stealth piloting/flying. They are not Shadow Troopers in any form, but due to the similarity between the two Blackout was made the SO BCMD just so there is an actual BCMD. What needs to be realized is that the two are mixed due to lack of lore to flush the Battalion out, but if sticking to the most accurate lore be the choice then you are Shadow Troopers and would need to pick a name that represents it. If you were to be Sealth Operations then say bye to all your jobs and all you would have is Pilots, generally speaking. I will +1 if you suggest changing to Shadow Company or anything that revolves around Shadow [Synonym for Battalion/Divison].

So then what's the point of this suggestion?

Shadow Clone Troopers are a thing and are basically what SO is. Blackout, Jet & Spark are Stealth Operators which I believe actually deals with either flying or overseeing stealth operations, hence their very Pilot-Like armor, whilst not actually being in the battlefield. Shadow Troopers were their own division so there was no actual label to them, it could be called Shadow Company to amend that. 73rd Shadow Battalion is 100% fanon - http://swfanon.wikia.com/wiki/73rd_Shadow_Battalion Whilst Shadow Troopers are real, there do not actually fall into a Battalion or unit, they are a division.

Why not Shadow Company?

"Regardless of damage."

Assassin blades have been a big no since the start of Synergy, regardless of damage.

-1 We don't need another Squad.
