Retired Founder Forseen Posted January 7, 2020 Retired Founder Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Name: Forseen RP Rank: Rancor 1stLT (Suggestion approved by @ Sixta who is BCMD Blitz of Rancor.) Suggestion: Changing and balancing ARC troopers throughout the server. Implementation: Removing the "Clone Minigun" and "Republic Launcher" from all battalion ARC whitelists and all Rancor whitelists except Heavy Ordinance and Alpha ARC. (Leaving in Alpha ARC to give something special for the sub-unit.) Lore: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Advanced_Recon_Commando https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Advanced_Recon_Commando/Legends In these pages (Cannon and Legends) that ARC Troopers used a lot of different weapons, however the minigun and Rocket Launchers were listed as "Special Equipment" and wouldn't need to be used at all times and as listed on the page, "When heavier firepower was required, ARCs donned specialized armor to bear the weight of reciprocating quad blasters, PLX-1 portable missile launchers, or Z-6 rotary blaster cannons." However it's not listed as common equipment. Workshop content if applicable: N/A If you are asking to add or change a job, fill out the following Add or Change: (Any job modification requires all this information) Job: 41st ARC / GC ARC / 91st ARC / 104th ARC / Dash 29 / 212th ARC / 327th ARC / 501st ARC / TC Fives / TC Echo / TC Jesse / 187th ARC / SO ARC / DU ARC / Rancor Heavy Ordnance (Replace Minigun with Z6) / Rancor Medic (Minigun) / Rancor ARC / ST ARC / Regimental Commander Jobs.

Why not just give Heavy Ordnance Z6 instead of mini gun, you could also remove the rocket launcher and just have there special be a Z6. And the only ARC class in Rancor that has the full load out is Heavy ordnance, the rest are nerfed, I would understand to take the mini gun from the Medic though, from the ARF trooper it wouldn't make coming into Rancor the same and the normal rancor trooper wouldn't be as special. And I personally think the rocket trooper is fine with the load out it has. Link to comment

Jagger Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 +1, If you want a mini-gun either be an ARC heavy Ordinance guy or a heavy trooper Insert incredibles meme here: "HEAVY IS HEAVY" Plus ARCs are generally more agile troopers -- I can't see hundreds of ARCs jumping around and doing B-Hops with miniguns anything close to star wars lore.

Tinovious Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) So. From my understanding of the suggestion is that the ARC jobs are going to have a nerf (#NerfRancor) Now, Where as I think it's a very ideal suggestion nerf Rancor as you know, Rancor seems very OP in terms of their loads and such. You guys get a DC-17 that can clap people with ease, I believe. I also think that it is condescending to other battalion ARC's that their respected BCMD's were not spoke about too in terms of this suggestion. In terms of battalion ARC, They get the clone minigun, the westar M-5, Dualies and the rocket launcher. Furthermore, In my eyes. These ARC Troopers may depend on these load outs and kit. Rancor, is of course in charge in training these battalion ARC's Rancor is quite well in charge of that, But these BCMD's, or ARCL's/ARCO's clear the future ARC Trainee's to become fully fledged ARC's of their respected battalions. So! These certain individuals are obviously going to want that sweet kit and be the OP ones of their battalions, Of course they should! They're ARC's! So, In reality I think it's unfair that these BCMD's or ARC's leaders never were spoken too to have changes to their jobs. Maybe what you should do is Nerf Rancor itself; instead of nerfing the Battalion ARC's as Rancor ARC's are significantly more powerful than Ordinary ARC's. Communication is key and it should've been discussed with these battalions instead of throwing the suggestion up. I do wish you luck in this though.

Retired Founder Forseen Posted January 8, 2020 Author Retired Founder Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 I love you and all @Tinovious but I'd have to disagree? Rancor has nothing near as strong as any battalion ARC? The only class in Rancor with the Battalion ARC loadout is the Heavy Ordinance trooper, which means all battalion ARC troopers realistically hold the same capabilities as a Heavy Trooper. Now one thing I agree with that you stated was the fact that the battalion ARC's deserve something a little stronger and that can always be arrange afterwards. Also, I have spoken to Sanchez and Dragon on the fact that this would affect all battalion ARCs as well as Rancor ARCs. I would have said that in the channel we were in earlier but I kept having people talk over me.. Link to comment

Mitchell Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Im 50/50 on this suggestion. Removing the clone minigun is fine, but I feel like a powershift instead of a complete nerf is better IMO. What I suggest is that they remove the clone minigun, and buff the Westar of ARC troopers, Either a Damage or Firerate buff would be good to balance it out some more. Rockets should stay, as in lore the Westar-M5 was able to have an under barrel rocket attachment. We don't have noobtubes on the server but the rocket is a close second. @ ForseenThoughts on this?

ARCs aren't necessarily supposed to masters of CQC, far range marksmanship, and heavy demolitions all together at the same time, but what they do have, the ARCs are supposed to be really good at. So, with removal of the Chaingun being a strong possibility, a counter-buff for the Westar encourages ARCs to focus on marksmanship as their strong point. As for Rocket underbarrels, tbh I feel there aren't enough rockets on jobs on the server, considering they are the only way to do damage to frigates besides turrets and vehicles, not to mention destruction of pods or barricades. 2 Report The guy who got drunk and pretended to be a vacuum for an hour Link to comment

In short Remove the Chaingun keep the rockets, because it seems like you didn't even evaluate how the batt ARC were using these weapons and i hope that makes sense Forseen. Link to comment

Striker Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Strong -1 from me for the battalion ARC portion. (For RANCOR +1 I guess? I'm not in RANCOR and quite frankly I don't really care y'all can do as you wish) ARC training is a tough training to get. It takes time not to mention it is on a very strict schedule. This is not a training that you complete in a day (there have even been people I have even known to take upwards of a month completing their ARC). Then you take that fact along with battalion ARC already taking a pretty big hit from RANCOR slots wise (a reduction from 10 to 6 slots), and I'd say ARC is balanced as it is at it's current state. If this suggestion were to pass it would literally mean the actual death of battalion ARC. Period. What is the point of working to actually do ARC training at that point? You have to take a training which for some takes a while, fight with 6 others for a slot, and on TOP of that the job is worthless?? Like come on, its a tad bit ridiculous to be honest. The job would no longer be appealing in the slightest. While in RANCOR there are unlimited slots, you get to be an actual job specialization as an ARC (Medic, engineer, etc.), and you have an elite company based around ARC as a direct step up from standard ARC. I'd say if it takes any longer than a single day of training for any job, the payout better be good. And in this case, the payout would literally be, sorry to say, garbage.

Dubz Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 -1 While I understand that a big part of this is to help Optimize the ARC Jobs, something that does indeed need an Optimization, it takes away far more than it gives, and it causes Rancor to have a less Optimized Weapon-set than it currently does. The issue of Miniguns and Rocket Launchers being on a Recon Battalion is an Issue many have had, for a very long time. Not to mention, the Initial post doesn't bring up Rocket Troopers within Rancor, despite a change like this severely affecting Rocket Troopers. My Disagreement with the change, isn't a disagreement over the Jobs changing, but, rather what would be changing with it. I'd argue that Classes like the Rancor Medic, and your Standard ARC Trooper, as well as Battalion Equivalents work well with the Minigun. While it's not by any means Realistic, or Lore friendly, both are hard in Gmod, and removing something because Lucas said so has been an issue most have had with Star Wars for ages at this point, and it's not an issue SR should likely need to deal with as well. As strange as it is, The Mingun works well in most situations, and, ARC's are likely some of the best people to handle a Dangerous weapon. The Rocket Launcher is a lot harder to argue for, however it's often a big draw in for a lot of people. As a 212th Commander on another Server, I can tell you how much of a fan a lot of people can be over a Big Fuck off Gun as Explosive as a Rocket Launcher, even with it still needing a Buff. If it became a situation where the CY constantly had Rockets flying every time a Muni flew over Anaxes it would be different. Where it's at currently, I respect your opinions, however I don't think we should take away the Three fun shots, only a handful of Jobs get to have. I also Respect the Imitative. Link to comment
Dax Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 So hear me out on this, underbarrel grenade launcher for ARC trooper westar m5. Obviously it would need development in a few areas (if its even possible) it would ideally have a unique model to reflect the fact that it has an underbarrel GL, and as far as how it would work, hopefully someone smarter than me can figure that out. I know the functionality for grenade launchers exist within gmod, with the MP7s alternate fire mode being a grenade launcher. My thought was we could cycle through the fire modes on the westar using E+R, however I dont know how that would work. Regardless development aside i think this could be an addition to the original suggestion, instead of just removing the rocket launcher we replace it with this hypothetical new weapon. either way, balance, lore, all that aside... grenade launchers are bad ass.

Or just make it a separate weapon like RC have the Anti-Armor Attachment for their DC-17M (Sadly its a rocket launcher when it should be a grenade launcher) i am literally captain tukk Link to comment

justuscloud5 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 I agree with Egg, Vex and Drayyen I think this is a small brain move and pushes people away from ARC if anything ot would push people towards ARF or support. All ARCs would have a westar while ARF/support would have a republic sniper and a launcher, then on top of that you could find a replacement in the westar with the E11D or DL-44 and be very very good and possible outclass ARCs.

Inosuke Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 +1 for removing rocket launcher -1 for removing clone minigun i could care a less about the rocket, however the minigun is what kinda makes us BAT ARCs special (or atleast a part of it). Link to comment
Merrill Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Changing to -1 for everything as well. I had not realized before that literally no one had been talked to about this idea. The guy who got drunk and pretended to be a vacuum for an hour Link to comment
