This is probably the closest I'll get to a feedback/Q&A thread without clogging up application threads.

@nexus & @Rondal

About the cop equipment situation, which is in terms of offensive equipment 1 gun & 1 box of ammo (no ammo stored in gun)

I've gotten the impression that rebels can bring whatever they can carry, which I can presume will probably be more than cops are allowed to bring.

I am an Overwatch/Union player though, I do not know the equipment situation of rebels but seeing as they have been relatively unimpeded in terms of gathering and crafting equipment since the beginning of C8 without any ammo/gun sink (ergo Cops v. rebels or events) that I do believe they've got more firepower than 1 gun and 1 box of ammo p.p. (roughly). Not to mention these guns aren't limited to USP-M, USP-T, Mp5 or Mp7 and in rare cases can be AKs.

I am not asking you to let cops bring whatever they can carry, since that would clearly put us into an advantageous position. If however it could be re-looked at for conditions such as you can fill X weapon with rounds and bring 1 box spare or something like that would already be a majour feeling of ease.

If however, I am writing all this and it turns out you've got the plan to have cops receive limited ammo drops or something every so often. Then you can ignore all this. Just something that was on my mind.

There are plans to alleviate any ammunition scarcities either side might face, but I'll talk it over with @nexus and look at a compromise considering that opening ability to fight.

Thanks, will be greatly appreciated.

If you have an actual argument you want my opinion on that doesn't involve "Well I've been wronged, so I'm going to wrong them" then I'll bother to respond. We all want this event to be fun, I am certain it will be managed appropriately and that both cops, rebels and citizens will have a fun experience no matter the decision made.

i think rebels will get the chance to finally use all the cool repurposed rebel tech that got added a while back and never used

you'll all have a standard cache of ammo, grenades and a few other things just like the folks who applies for rebel bases will.
it's intentional so we can do balancing once we've gathered all the numbers of applicants.

In Vladivostok, Russia, the wastelands now created in the wake of the destruction are becoming habitable once more. A land ripe for the taking in the shadow of the benefactors, all sides rush to make a name for themselves, reclaim this tainted earth. For what reason? Only the highest authorities know.

All the while, the ground stirs as the masses embark for the ruined land, on promises of fortune, sanctuary, or whatever fuels their need.

Vladivostok's calling, answer at your own risk.

______________________________________________________________

F A C T I O N S

The Volunteer Corps

Comprised of Civil Protection units, loyalist subsidiaries, and unassuming citizenry, the volunteer corps are the first line of reclamation in the area, operating under directives to reclaim and seize the area. Additional subsidiary corps such as combat medics, engineers are also present as cohorts to the main civil protectorate.

The Resistance Forces

Scattered allegiances, the resistance forces are a culmination of efforts to repel Union expansion into the region, coupled with refugees of surrounding areas. The resistance forces make up one of the primary roadblocks to the occupation of the region, having rooted a firm foothold in the area.

Rondal?

Wasn't his name Ronald?

Did they make a typo on the banner, and now he changed his name?

that I do believe they've got more firepower than 1 gun and 1 box of ammo p.p.

My character from the start of helix who started as an independent crafter, and later on joined the railway (about i'd say one year as a crafter) only recently obtained 1 mp7 and 80 bullets. That's all the firepower I have obtained -- one year in.

Just to put some perspective on the rebel-gear situation idk. There are a lot more TAG-unit cops than there are 1-year old rebels who've survived and obtained firepower.
