High-Pop: More Prep Equipment.

[TopHatPenguin]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Generally during high pop the squad prep rooms will completely run out of gear mid round leaving the late joins to use the marine prep general vendors of which can't dispense squad affiliated headsets which then leads to some big issues with squad cohesion. In light of this It would be great if the prep rooms had more gear so that even late joins can enjoy a brief time actively in the squad before being maimed by the hordes. Gear referring to gloves, helmets, armour, jumpsuits, boots etc. Granted you can get gear from the Prep marine vendors, however it doesn't come with squad specific gloves or a squad specific headset.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Late joins won't be effectively left out of the squads and have to loot dead comrades or SSD's for a squad affiliated headset, as well as that there would be a higher abundance of gear in the squad prep rooms as well.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Add more gear into the squad prep areas, can be tied to the need for a prep re-design which is an accepted suggestion already.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Mapping.

but this is already a thing, in higher pop rounds the dispensers have higher amounts of equipment, same with the RO attachment vendor.
Perhaps a dispenser for squad radio encryption keys in each squads prep section?

Perhaps it'll be simpler to make it so that swiping your ID on the Prep Racks when trying to get a headset/gloves will vend what is appropriate to your squad. +1 I guess.

It's not just for the headsets it's also for more marine gear in the Squad preps overall, as well as to go hand in hand with the redesign of prep. I'll clarify it in the post, give me a mo.

A quick edit also being that in my mind it would solve a big issue by skipping the middle man need to go get a encryption key from either command or the Ro(For example most of the time they are going to be busy during a round dealing with the marines on the ground who are shouting for supplies and an OB to be fired.) and just instead have more squad headsets in the prep rooms.

I think he means more SQUAD SPECIFIC items, like headsets.

might have to tweak the balanced on it, I find myself always not having enough ammo on highpop.

[Snypehunter007]

Yes, I agree with this one. Too often are the ahelps about "no more uniforms" or "no more (insert squad here) headsets"

Yes please, the player base is continually expanding I imagine so this issue will only get worse as time goes on.

This is partially already in now, as there are loads of marine basic equipment in the prep vendors, the only equipment that is missing is the squad headsets and squad gloves.

Maybe we could remove that basic equipment from the prep vendors and add a new vendor to each squad room that dispenses the squad specific items (the ones you get from marines closets).
