Make SMG AP rounds and other "contraband" ammo available without being hacked.

[Daman453]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): The ammo that is available after being hacked should be in the list before hand

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): MP's will arrest you for having AP SMG ammo because you have to hack the vender. Because you only get like, 2-3 mags of AP ammo from hacking it, it isn't a massive buff and the 4 venders would give the max of 8 mags of SMG ammo. For one squad.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): MP's can't arrest if you have SMG AP ammo, no hassles

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

its stupid that the vending machines have illegal things stocked in the first place. its also stupid that something as innocuous as ap ammo for one gun is illegal while the vendors shit out tons of ap for the main rifle

[Mook476]

This sounds reasonable as I would assume marine vendors would automatically come with AP SMG ammo, and I would also assume it's not illegal since it comes from the vendor that directly supplies marines. This is not a huge buff it would just ease up the process either way marines will get their AP ammo. +1

[Bronimin]

I have always viewed it as engineers fixing the vendor to dispense the ammo that it should have already been dispensing.

That contraband debacle last round was dumb as fuck +1

[ExGame]

I personally consider MPs that arrest marines based on situations like this to just be shitters, it's just bending the Marine Law in a way that allows you to fuck over a marine's round or even their whole squad if a important key member gets arrested without breaking the rules aka. "I do it because I can and don't care what others think".

I personally would prefer Marine Law to be written in a way so MPs can only apply it to help the actual round/mission progress and can't interpret it in a way that does the opposite.

But anyway, I support this.

[Enceri]

+1 I personally wondered why it was illegal to get the AP rounds for the various types of weaponry the USCMC employs.

[misto]

if rifle ap gets to be legal there no reason the rest aint +1 +1 +1 +1

[Tidomann]

Combine this with the organization and colour change suggestion

+1

[driecg36]

Definite +1 for me. It makes no sense for specific ammo to be COMPLETELY locked off without the machine being illegally tampered with. The items themselves aren't even questionable, and why would ARMAT lock off a segment of the supplies they've already made and sold to the marines? Makes no sense ICly, and is an annoyance OOCly.

[Troika]

Another good idea to handle this would be to update the rules such to disallow MPs hassling Marines who arn't actively doing anything wrong.

[Cupcakes_n_Hacksaws]

+1 why would SMG AP be contraband when rifle AP is already available. Feels like SMG users are getting shafted compared to rifle users

[Bmc777]

There's no reason to add the contraband items to regular vending. If anything we'd just take away the contraband items entirely. They're just there for the fluff of hacking a vendor and getting something for it, not because marines are meant to have those items all the time. Denied.
