+1 good character deserves good model

I do not see how this update takes away from DS. DS has shields already and numerous jobs for their lore characters, and are working on getting additions for themselves which this suggestion is wholly separate from and does not affect. As a former Mas Amedda I am disappointed you view the Senate Guard as something meant to be insignificant, however I would like to point out that I was not the one to add a ranking structure to it or run it like a battalion. In fact that was present when you were Mas Amedda and had no qualms about it then, even going so far to allow me to have a bill which reworked the existing ranking structure https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q6PxYITodY1XkvPq1Zs1peK_qDRrRyRjhN-TBj2w6k8/edit . Senate, Senate Guard, and DS have always had firm bonds since I joined the Senate nearly a year ago, and have worked together strongly with little issues. With the new DS leadership we have already done a few SIM/trainings/events together and it has gone wonderfully, and we even have a planned meeting with the DS leadership to plan ideas for increasing our relationship. I appreciate the concerns, but this suggestion will not harm the relations but will in fact better them, where DS can be a front line unit for us placing their shields and chasing after assassins, and SG can use these new items to evac a senator away from assassins. I have not seen anything about this from founders or anyone, and it was not a problem when we switched to Helix and SG was made into a job under the citizen character. Furthermore, server suggestions are for the community to give their feedback to the founder and management team to decide if something should be added, which they can always deny if they so choose. Regardless, I thank you for your concerns for the betterment of Senate and would like to see what the rest of the community has to say on the matter.

This guy's leaking staff chat! Anyways yes this does seem like an issue but I'm surprised it hasn't been apparent until now with the types of people that join sometimes.

Name: Keegan RP Rank: Vice Chair Mas Amedda Suggestion: Changes to Senate Guard job Implementation: Bump up their base armor by 50 (meaning that with skill points they would have 150) and give them two stims that they can use on themselves or a Senator. Lore: The Commandos' armor also featured an enlarged left pauldron that was resistant to blaster fire; its primary color was blue, the trademark shade of the entire Senate Guard. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Senate_Commando/Legends#cite_note-COD-3 Workshop content if applicable: N/A CHANGES ARE BOLD AND COLORED GREEN Add or Change: Change Job: Senate Guard Slots: N/A Description: N/A (Not visible anymore? Otherwise leave unchanged) Model: Trooper (models/salty/tc13-NormalSenate.mdl) and Officer (models/salty/tc13-SenateOfficer.mdl) Weapons: DC15A (rw_sw_dc15a_o), DC15S (rw_sw_dc15s), EE3A (rw_sw_ee3a), 2 syringes (rust_syringe) Other: Add 50 armor baseline + max (so that people with max skills spawn with 150 and can get healed up to 150 using armor kits if they take damage). Reasoning: The Senate Guard’s only primary duty on the server is to defend Senators. As such, they should be given the tools necessary to deal with all situations relating to that. Given that some battalions get additional HP, speed, armor, etc. I believe the Senate Guard should get additional armor since it fits the lore of their shoulder pauldron being very blaster resistant, and would also help them absorb a few extra hits when trying to be in-between a combatant and the VIP to get the VIP to escape. Adding the stims would be beneficial in that it would allow them to heal themselves and their VIP, as the Senate Guard on server has always required med training. Note that this would NOT take away from the on-server medics as the stims are limited to only two, and they would be told to only use on members of the Senate/SG. It would be a nice boost to help keep them alive and relocate their VIP without dying on the way.

This is a good idea, but would require that for false arrests that CG/TG/staff release people early if they get arrested again since their timer would be higher, or have a system where unarresting someone lowers their timer by 1 tier. +1

That addon is bad and hardly works. Current shield is better and just needs some development to help improve it when you’re moving with it.

+1 easy change that would be beneficial.

Hm, I do think that some good points are made here from all sides. I would think that a better thing would be to utilize your shields more often. Also, the DP24 is not going to do much against the shotgun or some of the other weaponry available to people willing to fork out the money for it. As someone primarily guarded by SG and DS, I do think some improvement could be made, however most of the time I see attacks from Separatists / NPCs affecting us rather than by BHs. I've heard and seen that the hitbox on your shield is very bad when it is being held by DS until it is placed. Perhaps a better avenue would be to improve the protection offered by the shield when it is being held or when people are moving around with it, which would make the shield something used much more often and taken advantage of both for you guys and if/when DU comes back (until that time, the shield is something totally unique to DS and is a cool draw that I feel is underused). It's shown in the clone wars to be extremely good when being held and offering near total protection to those using it, and I see it being used well during trainings, but I very rarely see it used in events or during normal times due to these lackings. Not going to vote as either way would be a benefit to some extent for you guys, but that is my take on the matter: Rather than add this weapon (which is by most accounts, mine included, a downgrade to the DC15A/S) improve the shield's hitbox and protection which would enable much more RP and tactical combat!

I do not believe that utility items such as this should be made a permanent weapon, let alone for that much. That would just take something that’s meant to add RP for a battalion, subunit, or specialization that any newer player could acquire and have fun with and lock it behind a paywall that most people would never get close to reaching. There’s already enough on the server for 99% of the “whales” to purchase.

Bug Type (Server:): Spawns (CWRP) Severity level (Low - Medium - High): Low Evidence (if you can): Myself and other Senators have noticed it quite often in the past few weeks. Description of the bug: Randomly spawning in the Navy bunks rather than Senate bunks or Mas Amedda's office. Has been happening since switch to Helix. How can we recreate it: Use a Senator job for a while and you'll notice it.

-1 Change the boarding rules so that you can be carried up in a LAAT rather than try to grapple from ground level up to a ship up in the sky. Not only are you hurting your own battalion with that rule but you’re hurting SUP server-wide with that. Something like this would be way better suited for ARF server-wide (if there was no performance issues) so they can climb the rocks on the map rather than getting added just for your subunit.

In that case if those glass areas would not cut it, then I am not terribly sure on what else could be done as I am not really a mapper nor staff so I can't really get good up-to-date images of the map to really inspect in that sense. Are there some things currently on the map that are brushes that could be converted into props? For the citadel, I think the barricades and towers could be made into props if they were not already, which would probably lower the number of brushes needed by a lot. If the Community has any feedback on areas that could be shrunk or simplified in terms of geometry that could be helpful as well!

Well I am unsure how much is needed to be removed, but I think that some of the decorative areas that are only visible through glass (such as below the bunks area) could be removed. The second sector could be downsized a bit, with some of the areas being made to be more open by removing trees and rocks. Remove some trees on the main layer of the map as well. Also, I believe there are two dueling arenas (not sure), but if so one could be removed since I doubt there'd often be two going on at a time. I could think of others but I'm unsure how many brushes are really needed and how many this would get back. If more is needed, please let me know so I can put some more thought into it.

-1 for the same reasons this was denied: It also is way faster than 1hp/sec.

Name: Keegan RP Rank: Vice Chair Mas Amedda Suggestion: Add the Citadel Challenge SIM room to the map. Implementation: Rip the old citadel from the Synergy Venator (it is better than the Anaxes one, and if we ever start using that Venator again the dupes can be reused between maps) and fit it in an empty area of the map and put a teleporter to it. Otherwise, if it fits, try to place it next to the other sim rooms in one of these two locations: Add door in the green room and have the entrance there. Add a door here with a hall going back and to the left with the Citadel there. Lore: Citadel Challenge | Wookieepedia | Fandom Workshop content if applicable: Require Development (If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development")

So, I was waiting for this one. You did a lot of damage on the server, and did hurt my reputation a lot. When you alted into the Senate as Henry Dick, I was one of the people present at the selection, and then you become 41st HVO twice under me, both times blowing up a debrief. While this was really upsetting to me in terms of breaching my trust, and I heard that High Staff was investigating me for this, in the end I've come to kind of accept it and realize that the things you did to me are things that I can get over and live with. Before you blew up debrief, you were extremely productive as a member of the Senate and 41st. I had literally promoted you seconds before the incident. After your alting in December as you mentioned, you reached out to me a bit after regarding how you wanted to appeal and come back to the server. This was somewhat surprising to me, as I had figured you would just keep alting until HVO was eventually disbanded in its entirety due to repeated issues. After a lot of discussion, as well as playing some Battlefront across a few days with you to help facilitate it and reminisce on old times from when we were in 501st back in early 2022, I've heard your side of this situation and kinda understand why you did some of these things, and kept coming back. You've explained these things in your post, so I won't go too much in detail on them, but honestly the only real issues I see with allowing you back right now are the things you sent in Discord. As people mentioned already, slurs and inappropriate messages can really hurt people. However, at this point that damage is done. Making an appeal like this would be useless to you if you intended to keep doing that, as you could've just kept alting in game and Discord if you wanted to do so. Making an appeal would be a waste of time if you didn't intend to discontinue these actions (which you have as far as I can tell), and as such I think you are genuine here. All the screenshots and stuff I see is things from before his last alting, which is when he is saying he stopped everything. I'm going to +1 this as I know you are young, and although you were influenced by people around you, you accept your actions as your own and have reached out to dozens of people on the server to apologize and make this right, even trying to do so when you saw people from here on other communities. I think you deserve a chance here on the server, and would likely receive a similar watchlist status as other people who have returned, which would really limit the extent of damage that could be done (if you did do something, which as I said I don't believe you will).

+1 makes sense to have Warthog included in getting a jetpack

Bug Type (Server:): Main - Quests Severity level (Low - Medium - High): Low Evidence (if you can): (Also reported to be an issue on Lux Bonteri job) Description of the bug: People on Senate jobs can do the BH quests which they should not be able to do. How can we recreate it: Switch to a Senator job and go to the BH quest person.

+1 makes it easier to turbolaser debriefs

Yup. This need not be an issue if battalions find other fun and more creative ways to reward people who put in good time and effort. Battalions rush people up the enlisted ranks to get them up to NCO, which sets a standard of being promoted quickly. Slow the rate of promotion and set the expectation that it might take a while to get promoted, but it is a much bigger deal to go up each rank. Add things that troopers gain the opportunity to do at each rank, e.g., only be able to join a specialization at SPC and join a subunit at SGT. Add responsibilities for each rank of NCO or Officer to make them more separate, and ensure people fully understand those responsibilities and can do them reliably before moving them up. Give a lot more responsibilities to SGM, WO, and LT to make them something that has good meaning, and then have battalions ensure their CPTs and MAJs are doing their jobs. Take those higher up officers out of positions like HVYL or MEDL and give those positions to the lower ranks, as that is a great opportunity for advancement and satisfaction without necessarily moving them up in regular rank. Add REGO and subunit XO positions for those Officers. Utilize the ability to have trainer leads such as NEGL. Subunit, specialization, and other types of promos can be done in DB now, so use them to the best of your ability to give people room to advance without being forced to rush them up the rank structure! -1

To add on to what I said earlier: There's no reason most of the permaweapons need be exclusive to the permaweapon shop. It's a permaweapon so you get it on whatever job you choose to play on! Just because the weapon would be on a different job doesn't mean the permaweapon is useless. Having a shotgun or a sniper as a Heavy would still be of great benefit, and guess what! If you're trying to play ARF and already have some kind of sniper, it's either still an upgrade, or we could just bring back a temporary 100% sale when this change occurs so you can sell your sniper to get something more useful on that job! Locking half the weapons available exclusively behind a paywall limits the server so much in terms of what is possible! Sure, some things could stay exclusive, but I think a lot of these weapons could be reevaluated on if they should only be for people who grind out the server, or if newer players should get an opportunity to use them and eventually consider buying them when they switch to a different job! Now, this need not be a major change with all the weapons, but I think at least making some of these items available to things like subunits would be beneficial and something to consider by the server leadership.

@MazenCan your 1000th post be dedicated to me

I kinda figured this was coming eventually, but I didn't expect it yet. Before you got banned, I always say you as a pretty funny guy who took some things too far, seeking for laughs from an audience who didn't really tell you what you were doing wasn't that funny or wrong. You wronged a lot of people, myself included. Around the time of your ban, you were a bit of a dick to me, but in the time since then you have reached out to me, and we've come to talk a bit. You explained the situation with Royan to me and how it affected you. That's definitely a scary situation, and I'm not sure how I'd react in that situation either. In the several years before you were banned, you didn't cause much trouble from what I have heard, and it's really a culmination of a few bad weeks on the server that lead to all these problems. You were a productive Council Member, probably the best Jedi Diplomat we have ever had in the Senate, and a good member of the 41st. The whole Jedi Discord incident and doc leak was so sudden, and I don't really feel like it's fair to judge you based on that occurrence, especially when you just got waived to be able to appeal. If you were unbanned, you obviously would not be trusted with a lot of power to be able to leak any documents or cause damage to Discords for a LONG time, potentially permanently. This is something that should be considered by everyone, as it leads me to believe this is truly a genuine appeal. Who would take the time to make an appeal, wait all that time, then just do the same thing over again, knowing they are being watched closely? It wouldn't make sense for the time commitment versus just alting on the server and reaching those high up positions without a mic. Everyone deserves a second chance, and this apology feels genuine and thought out to me. +1

+1 This would be a net win for the server

+1 literally no reason not to.
