No see it would pull the powergamers out of the woodwork and make it easier for us to catch them. +1

+1,the idea is really nice,but instead of humans in general,you could just make it non-USCM humans,such as: Hostile Survivors,Iron bears,DS, (Maybe PMC?),with that,it would drastically reduce the marines from shooting each other to crit and then being healed by a nearby medic to gain buffs,it will also reward the good marines that survived long enough,other then the marines that die 5 minutes after the first drop.

The Command staff (such as the CO and XO) could have a certain default,unique skill that the marines won't be able to ever have,the CO and XO,both have training to use Spec weapons and are and are not supposed to be experienced fighters (Most COs and XOs just stay in the sulaco until the aliens board),BOs wouldn't have any default abilities,due to their VERY basic weaponry trainment,Also,speaking of training,the admins could add training rooms (firing range will increase your accuracy etc.)
I play Sydney 'Lilly' Wood, the totally not depressed doctor, And the marine Dylan Bell, that probably joined the USCM by accident.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions related to research.

As long as it doesn't nerf the basic marine, I like this quite a lot. +1

The main part of this suggestion I like is the idea that ERT's, Predators and certain human Antagonists may start with a leg up in experience.
This is war, survival is your responsibility.

Bump, I think this suggestion still has merit and would be nice to see.

1+ I like this it's a good way to reward good players, I hope this is considered.
