Name: Marvel RP Rank: Idk Suggestion: Bring back the Cold Assault Trooper armor Implementation: Implement either the old snow trooper models that we used to have (I can't find them), or implement some new ones. The pack I'm suggesting doesn't have all our battalions and it's a little big size wise but they are extremely high quality. Maybe we could get permission to edit the base CT version and make designs for the missing battalions! Lore: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Clone_cold_assault_trooper Workshop content if applicable: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2696959980 is a potential option (If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development") If you are asking to add or change a job, fill out the following Add or Change: Change (Any job modification requires all this information) Job: A lot of jobs Slots: N/A Description: N/A Model: There's quite a few (Provide the model string if on server Ex. models/player/synergy/cblake/ls_squad/ls_trp/lstrp.mdl (Get this from the Q menu) Weapons: N/A (If you want a modfication to a weapon/saber you must put the weapon string in the suggestion. Ex. tfa_e5 (Get this from the Q menu)) Other: I personally miss the Cold Assault Trooper armor we had back then and were able to use during events on snow maps or as sealed suits if ever needed on main, etc. I'm not sure why we got rid of them but I would love to see them return at some point even if it's much further down the line after everyone gets their models and what not. The pack I linked above isn't exactly what I'm suggesting but it's an option. I'm fine with even getting the original ones we had but they didn't look amazing tbh. That pack has CT, 501st, 212th, 41st, 327th, 104th, CG, and like all their respective BCMDs. Honestly we could just use the 327th one for like Rancor or DU and 21st is fine as is considering they already have armor suited for cold weather. Here are some pics:

Now I don’t think this is a bad idea and I might be wrong here but isn’t there some pretty bad performance issues on this map when over like 50-60 players. I love the map and think it would actually be really nice for a main server map. Like you said it does have a ton to offer and honestly I would like to see if it’s possible to put the Arquitens cruiser on the new map above the base where operations can do roleplay. That would be sick.

+1 My suggestion sadge Though if this results in DU losing their shields that's one of their few appeals and really they'd just turn into green 501st without the clout. Would not be ideal for them

+1 Bring it back

For the people asking to replace DU with another battalion this is not what the suggestion is about. That wouldn't solve anything. Yeah there might be battalions that could potentially add something new to the server but at the end of the day the core problem is the sheer amount of battalions we currently have not whether one battalion has cooler lore than the other. It's about a core issue with the server because of all these different battalions that causes these cycles where this battalion is doing very well, these 2 battalions are doing alright, these 3 are in meh states, and these 2 are performing very poorly. It's almost always DU in that last category majority of the time. I don't understand why this cycle should be allowed to continue. Less battalions would open up the ability for more battalions to be in better states at the same time rather than some of them constantly struggling until old people come back or High Command steps in. Also Don't respond if you have nothing to add goober

I'm sorry but while some of this may be true it doesn't make a huge difference. People change and the culture of battalions change. Subunits aren't a huge difference either as most subunits are extremely similar setups just different models/names and systems. There are a few that are actually unique like 2ndAC and SO. Every battalion has their difference in structure and trainings but they're extremely miniscule differences that they mean nothing. Also using lore as an argument for DU which has literally none is ironic. DU has participated in one known battle. They add nothing unique from a lore standpoint. As for objectives the only difference there is from a regiment standpoint and only for Spec because Attack and Siege are literally one and the same. Every battalion wants to shine but that is increasingly difficult with our current player pop and the sheer amount of battalions, factions, and groups we have on the server. Without actual in game differences besides models and names there is no real variety. It's really just about fashion at that point. This entire section to me is mind boggling. I can guarantee half of you would not have been in DU without all this commotion. I also do not believe you one bit when you say you and all these other people just love DU so much. If any of you did then how come you weren't in DU prior to all this? Some of you might genuinely want to help the battalion in it's current state but I do not for one second believe any of you outright love DU and see it as your home on the server. I'm not saying all of you are in it for ranks or power but it definitely isn't out of pure love for DU. Doom's Unit gets blindsided every time their BCMDs leave. No offense but y'all can't just keep asking people to be patient constantly for a reoccurring issue.

Yes I know this and I acknowledge it in my suggestion. This cycle has been around even back when the server hit 128 players consistently and it's just not healthy. Why allow this cycle to continue where battalions are just constantly struggling only to have maybe 3 months of the year where they're doing maybe a little okay? The server pop is much lower now and the best solution for this issue is less battalions so that the players aren't spread so thin. I would much prefer to see less battalions where they can have at least 5+ members on each rather than having a ton of battalions where with our numbers some battalions will barely even have one member online. I personally didn't choose DU to be on the chopping block because any of the recent CMD application drama or whatever has been happening. Honestly if it were up to me I would go as far as to remove 2 or 3 battalions because yes there may be variety but what good does variety do if all there is that differentiates battalions are the color of their armor. Yes battalions have their moments but in the time that I have been on the server DU has struggled the most. It takes old heads applying for Doom for the battalion to thrive for maybe 3 months, their term ends, and the battalion goes right back into the gutter. DU is on the rise currently but because High Command is being so hands on with the battalion. None of the people that have recently joined DU would have joined if High Command wasn't involved and there is nothing to guarantee that after High Command steps away from DU that they won't just fall back down again. No other battalion has gotten this treatment and yeah other battalions have gone through similar scenarios of low numbers and inactive members. 21st is the only other example and that was Founder interference for more reasons than just activity and numbers. This is a never ending cycle.

Name: Marvel RP Rank: Private Suggestion: Remove Doom’s Unit Implementation: Deploy Commander Doom and his men to Ringo Vinda in search of that 501st clout Lore: N/A Workshop content if applicable: N/A (If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development") If you are asking to add or change a job, fill out the following Add or Change: Change (Any job modification requires all this information) Job: All Doom’s Unit jobs Slots: 0 Description: N/A Model: N/A (Provide the model string if on server Ex. models/player/synergy/cblake/ls_squad/ls_trp/lstrp.mdl (Get this from the Q menu) Weapons: N/A (If you want a modfication to a weapon/saber you must put the weapon string in the suggestion. Ex. tfa_e5 (Get this from the Q menu)) Other: Obviously this stems from a multitude of reasons. In the opinions of many there are quite a lot of battalions, factions, and groups on the server that split our playerbase very thin as is. Removing a battalion will reallocate a good number of people among all these different groups. Doom’s Unit in its current state is the most logical as it has consistently been the most problematic battalion on the server for a very long time. It’s numbers have always struggled and it’s reputation has never been that great to be completely honest. At best all they add to the server is a little bit of diversity (which we already have a ton) and shields. Battalion diversity right now is really just the paint job of your armor due to there not being any battalion buffs so really we aren’t losing anything major to the server besides shields which can easily be given out to another battalion or a certain job in every battalion like HVO or HVY. CG is definitely a viable choice to receive shields as they already share them with DU a little. All in all removing Doom’s Unit might be the best option. I’ve talked with quite a few people regarding this subject and I have personally been an advocate for removing a battalion or two for a long time now. I truly believe more battalions would be better off if there were less battalions to stretch our playbase thin. On the last remove DU post which was handled poorly I did come to DU’s defense in a way but mainly because of how bad the suggestion was taken care of. For a long time now DU hasn’t been extremely popular with the community and I can’t even count how many times I have been involved in conversations where DU is talked down upon and someone almost always brings up “Why not just remove it”. Ultimately in the end I do agree with most of these people. However a very good argument is that 21st was on the chopping block and they got a second chance. This is very true but being completely honest I don’t think it entirely worked. I do believe it helped wash away their very terrible mindsets however the battalion itself still can barely keep good numbers and their activity is all over the place. At the end of the day I don’t think the 21st wipe solved anything besides getting rid of some deep scars on the battalion. There are still just too many battalions on the server and of these two battalions I believe DU has always struggled more than 21st making it the logical choice. Also removing a battalion will open up the opportunity to potentially replace it later on in the future with something new. Synergy hasn’t had a new battalion in a very long time and adding something new and fresh can really be a good thing. Heck it doesn’t even need to be another clone battalion. We could look at another faction or something along the lines. Though this would obviously be talked about way down the line if removing one battalion proved to improve the other battalions with numbers and activity. DU Is again the logical choice because they have very few numbers when compared to the rest of the battalions. They’re at an all time low and it would be best to do it now rather than allowing someone else to go in and give it their all, only for the battalion to die again and lead us right back here. Currently DU is on the rise again due to the assistance of High Command stepping in and taking the reins however DU has gotten back on it’s feet in the past only to be knocked down again extremely easily. A lot of these people joining are typically joining because they can gain something from this whole ordeal whether it be rank or power. As soon as High Command leaves the battalion to focus on their other responsibilities I guarantee the battalion will not last long. Even if maybe the first BCMD after HC steps away does decently the next one can easily do very poorly and the community will just grab their pitchforks again and call for their removal. The recent events should not be used as an argument as to why DU should not be removed. It is honestly too late at this point and a repeat of what happened to 21st will not solve anything either. Finally the main reason I have come to the conclusion that this might be the best course of action is I have actually thought about going in and helping DU. Maybe even apply for BCMD but I think the community has honestly already decided that DU just isn’t worth it. I feel like anyone could come in and save the battalion but if the next BCMD or the next one after that fails to deliver on the community’s high expectations we’ll just be back at square one and everyone will be hoping for it’s removal once again. Which is extremely likely at this rate. I know that every battalion goes through their phases where they’re active and thriving or they’re inactive and struggling but the reason this happens is because of the amount of different battalions and factions we have. This will never be solved unless we start trimming some of the fat. Also this suggestion by no means is to offend anyone in DU, past or present. I know a lot of people have put a ton of blood, sweat, and tears into that battalion but honestly it’s a never ending cycle at this point. I don’t believe it is healthy to continue to allow battalions to constantly go through these phases where they’re either doing decent/meh to really bad. Please do not flame DU or it's members in the comments below and be courteous. Put yourself in their shoes. I am open to any debates on this topic either here on the forums, discord, and TS.

I personally am not well informed on the whole situation involving Dinaric's ban but outside of the memes I hear about it what he did was extremely dumb. You sound pretty sincere and I can't personally hold any grudges. I am willing to give you a second chance. If you get one don't fuck up. +1

I like these ideas +1 to literally any of them ngl

Mans pulled out the receipt sheesh. To be fair every battalion goes through their phases, hell even 501st has been in tough spots and they got all that clout. Look at 21st they were in a really bad spot in both activity and mentality and they got a second chance. Why can't DU?

This. This I agree with however how did we decide that DU should be the group that deserves the chopping block? I'm fairly certain there are other battalions currently that are in a similar if not worse state than DU. Why DU over them? I mean as it stands DU is one of the few battalions on the server that still have a battalion buff. That being shields. Now that isn't crazy or anything but it is certainly unique. Where would shields go if DU wasn't here? (Obviously 501st since you know they were in that one episode too with shields duh) Me personally it's because their ugly af but that's not a valid argument.... unless?

I mean he put it in server suggestions and it's actually quite astounding how many people talk about removing DU. I wouldn't be surprised if this was real or not.

This is a very poor suggestion for such a large change. This is removing an entire battalion from the server and you provide no pros or cons as to why the battalion should be removed. How does the server benefit from removing DU? This was an extremely rude way to go about trying to remove a group from the server, even worse than the two times I tried to remove Naval. I'd like to see some actual effort put into the suggestion besides what appears to be pent up baby rage about a battalion you dislike. I mean don't get me wrong I'm not a big DU fan but you could have gone about this in a much better way than saying: I would prefer it if a suggestion like this was taken much more seriously that way it could open up an actual debate on whether or not this should even be considered or not.

I am a certified forums gremlin

+1 mans was just being goofy. Not that big of a deal

Why not have both models tho? Rancor Pilot does it that way and I think it's a win win for people who want to be all pilot like or people who want to be just support on the ground. +1 if it's what the battalion wants then ig

+1 I don’t miss seeing colored people tbh but it did have its perks

They used to be on main. I imagine they were taken off for a reason but if they can be brought back with no issues then +1

Little +1

The clone mini gun I can sorta get behind but not the DC-15x. I can see one or other. What you are suggesting isn’t you asking to trade one thing for another but rather you are asking for more in return. Not only that but this creates a whole new load out on the server that doesn't really make sense. Like a sniper and a mini gun is an extremely strange combo. Idk I personally can’t really get behind the current suggestion

+1 I would much prefer this over hearing an actual person named Massiff Billy making dog noises themselves Though I am concerned about the feature to right click and freeze nearby players? Would probably have to be tweaked a bit.
