Generally if something is doing bad you're supposed to help it out, not just remove it omegalol. Especially something thats supposed to be RP focused. I dont really have a say because im retired from the community and all, but its a -1 from me. I get that base ops has been inactive and all, but this is just another step away from the serious RP we moved to. But hey, whatever.
Edit: also, just to add on, forcing a whole battalion to be training robots is obviously going to kill its popularity, along with the community labeling them button ops. If I had more free time, id come back to try and help it out. A new system was also proposed very recently that would add additions to Base Ops concerning encounters, which could easily boost popularity. @Chambers
Look. If the server doesnt want base ops, fine. Go ahead and make them an event job, and relegate things to your command and all that. Just know that the people that have been trying with base ops have made quite a few attempts, and are frequently beat on the head by higher command that they "arent doing enough". This is a battalion that is almost entirely centered around RP. We're not even allowed to go into combat 99% of the time. Similar to senators, we do our best, but there isnt going to be quantifiable evidence unless you started rummaging through chat logs. The server is meant to be fun, does it really impact the community at all having base ops in the first place? What does "bloat" even matter? How will this improve the community in any way? This seems pretty ill advised.
