Head MP

Post by mirkoloio » 09 Feb 2017, 14:07

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): A new role to control the MPs. Much like a head of Security. Has additional authority.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): It would give us another role to enjoy and RP with. Would make controlling the MPs easier if they have an Officer. Also takes workload off of the Commander and Executive Officer

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): It'd work similar to a HoS on normal servers. Give them a bit better armor, or just the same with a bit of a different sprite. More access and a higher rank to command the MPs around. Also whitelist it, please.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): You could just copy the MP occupation and change the needed things. Saves the workload of making an entirely new one.

Considering the level of power MP's hold, and the fact that they get bored and abuse that power and hide behind marine law to cover for their abuse, a whitelisted HoS-esque job would be great.

Problem is that I don't think the whitelist will help since we have people in the CO whitelist who act purposefully incompetent, and a HoS type MP acting purposefully incompetent would truly undermine the purpose of such a job.

Lets not. MPs work under Marine Law and Marine Law only, when most of the people that can cause trouble are on a mission and off the ship, all you have to do is patrol. Insubordination could also be treated as a mutiny since this is essentially a Command role. The last thing I need is being told to let an SL go because the Marines need him, or being threatened with a demotion for insulting them.

You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

Whenever I have a XO(Before CO WL) or whenever I am XO... I act as a Lead of the Military Polices. A Commanding officer can always lead the Military Polices..

See it like this, what ship doesn't have a Chief of Security? I mean, it would give an additional role to fill, another chance for even more of the rather rarely seen RP. Also it would keep the MPs controlled when they go haywire again and decide they're above the law. Because once an MP starts with their taser, you're pretty much done for, if hit. Then only the gods ((staff)) can help you.
