After viewing the recent "Orange DLC" I've been interested in proposing a small amount of slots for a civilian faction for the server.
Their role would be:
- Clearing mines (I.e mines on the server don't despawn until defused)
- Reviving dead players
- Repairing vehicles
- Delivering non-lethal supplies (Smoke grenades, medkits, repair kits, faks etc.)
These actions are rewarded with points that can be seen on the ingame leaderboards and the standard Arma leaderboards.
I am proposing 5 slots to be accessible to white listed members of the community (Can be changed, just my idea). The roles include:
- IDAP Coordinator (Basically a squad leader)
- IDAP Medic, access to medical delivery drone
- IDAP Defuser, access to new mine clearing drone
- IDAP Repairman, access to general supply delivery drone
- IDAP Pilot, flies IDAP branded mohawk
Obviously this new faction comes under the civilian side, therefore necessary class and vehicle restrictions should take place, ground rules are as follows.
- No rifles, launchers, sidearms (Except for flare pistol) or lethal grenades. Following rules for non-lethals
- No entry into armed vehicles
On the other hand these restrictions are balanced with these bonuses:
- Access to the IDAP ambulance (Acts as a taru medical pod with 20 or so revive tickets)
- Access to new drones
- Not being a target of the AI, due to their civilian status
- Access to construction unifroms and IDAP uniforms
Also considering that these players will be a different side to blufor, tags will not appear for blufor players. Meaning that if someone kills an IDAP member it will not show as a team kill, however I believe that some sort of punishment should be in place to punish those attacking civilians, a possibility could be a player being sent to Gitmo for a couple minutes if the IDAP player deems it as careless or purposeful (Like the robocop system in place).
Any opinions are welcome for a possible introduction.
EDIT: Vehicles for these slots should include:
- IDAP Ambulance
- Offroad repair (Service)
- IDAP Mohawk
- Appropriate UAV's
