K-Vin's Question on Build Perms Change

[K-Vin]

Question: Why are players no longer allowed to ask for temp perms for the sake of building?

Comments/Concerns: I’ve always been a big fan of building dupes, and sims to be able to host and make unique situations and events for my squads and I have no issue with building outside of the server for the majority of this but there is a problem with that. 

1. The most important one. There is no addon list, and many items are not available on the community workshop to be able to work with them outside of the server.
2. Props and physics work very differently on a server than in single player, and without testing the builds and props in game you may end up making things a laggy mess. 
3. We do not have access to the map on the workshop meaning that building within the confines of the sim rooms or build areas is not possible without guessing, and some sims utilize the entire room. 

I am of the strong mindset that if this change was made due to the mistakes or or misuse of a few, then that is an unfair punishment of all others that have respected the permissions and utilize it regularly. I think the thing that should change is the strict enforcement and oversight of these permissions and simply blacklisting those who are unwilling to cooperate. It was a frustrating thing to encounter when the change was suddenly made without notice.

I totally understand your concern on this matter, and I appreciate your desire to build to help your battalion.  However, it is set up in this way to reward our players who have shown repeated dedication to the staff team and have earned those perms. If we were to give out SA perms to everyone who requests it for building purposes it would lessen the achievement our SA's have worked for. As always I encourage anyone who has the drive for building to apply for staff.

 

If you have any further questions on the matter feel free to DM me and we can have a discussion on the matter.
