Larger Merc ERT Sizes

[Trench007]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

Make the size of the merc ERT larger (to 10+ size). Creating a more useful and fun ERT experience.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

• Allows more players to play at once, both good and bad
  Since mercs are terrible, they need to compensate with their large numbers
  Could add some RP elements, like merc captains ordering suicide charges (even though mercs don't want to risk their skin usually)

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

The ERT chance for mercs will stay the same, just the number of mercs changes. I think this will greatly improve the late round experience, because mercs often replace more fun and useful ERTs. Now, they will serve some purpose with their large numbers. Which, is either acting as a giant meat shield for marines or distracting the xenos (same thing basically).

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

Send out multiple ERT shuttles from different directions to the Alaymer, splitting numbers roughly even.

Not a bad idea, what could really go wrong? +1

I was one of the ghosts discussing this in deadchat.

+1 to this, gotta balance those ERTs am I right?

While I literally hate not getting into an ERT, they're SUPPOSE To not affect the round. It's suppose to be either Drifters in space seeing the distress and coming into investigate. They aren't suppose to affect the round unless it's called in by admins, the lowest ERT number is 3, that's a little I know. That's the way it's suppose to be, maybe it should be adjusted for how many can get in by admins only, but not the permanent amount.
