Remove Research class until update.

Post by Whistle » 05 Aug 2016, 10:12

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Remove the playable class of researcher.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Research has fallen into a crevasse within Cm and until the update comes out their use is limited and despite being within the rules, there is debate about banning the one or two options the class can do, see: "Ban research grenades from use on the sulaco."

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): No more newbies joining and asking, "What's the point," In researcher class.
No more nades that wipe out an entire xeno team, no possible way for sully Sci camping.
Removes needless salt and more admin enforcement which cannot be fully guaranteed which causes salt anyway.

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

Code, remove class.

-1, researcher is a good addition to crew, after all we need someone to print circuits/parts and drink tea. Pretty sure OP was one of those aliens researcher raped in last round.

Aliens have boiler that can crit 2-3 marines from one good acid spit, and he can fire those spits without preparing special items (grenades.) and frequent enough.
Researcher is fine as last resort, when marines are overhelmed and sieged.

-1 Researcher, if played by a good player, can really help out the medical staff, both through laser scalpels/chem sprayers, and through helping with cloning. They can also help the marines through grenades, which are basically the boiler's aod attack. Also, they can promote roleplay with the CL, while either cutting up aliens or asking for their resources to analyze.

It's the next update, so I think this is outdated. Locking.
