Trashtalk(reasons why we need these suggestions), you can skip this part:
Let's face it, the uniqueness of this server lies in the concept of
a president that has to be protected but how many times have you actually seen a president surviving? How many times do you think that the map changes because a president survived whole 14 minutes? Rare, and that too when a regular player becomes president(nsa map).
The thing is, killing president is too easy when compared to actually protecting him(in most of the cases). Secondly, some player that has just connected for the first time will most probably pick either president/vice or security class. And just in case it is a newbie who picked president , we can rarely find any regular protecting him as security(not even the ones who talk about playing the gamemode). Bam, now we have a weak president with a super weak security. I have been playing as security and tbh it is lot more fun than killing president. And it is good to see that more of our regular players have started to pick security class. Protecting is indeed harder than killing president but tbh it is a lot more fun too.
In this thread I will keep adding suggestions for the president survival and would like to discuss them with others. If you have any other suggestions related to this, kindly reply here and I will add it to the main post.
Already suggested:A. Separate spawn for vice (to avoid confusion caused by yellow name tag, team jacking, and both presi/vice sitting in same vehicle)
https://planbserver.com/forum/index.php?topic=1790.0B. A key that can be pressed by the president to call for urgent backup, an announcement on screen of all the members of protecting class.
https://planbserver.com/forum/index.php?topic=1848.0Others:1. Whenever a person picks security class , a brief msg about their duty to be displayed on the screen (right below the hud, below that "time remaining" text). Just copy paste what is mentioned in /duty
A similar thing for president and vice president because most of them are too dumb to even realise that they have to keep themselves safe and not run away without securities.
2. An anti jacking system also for the
driver of president. Just like how a security gets slapped for jacking president, the one jacking some president's driver should be slapped. On an average president wastes around 15 seconds in this mess caused by team jacking . As a result , president either leaves the spawn too late or just leave without enough securities.
3. Add more slots for security class. I don't know how exactly the team balancing thing works but I'd surely like to have less of those "this class isn't available" for non vip players. Add more slots! Maybe reduce a few from cop class.
4. A +15 armour(only the white bar, NOT the red health bar) for a security that gets a kill near president (including civs because of the civs are isis that kill president). Now this might be hard to script but i think it will surely encourage securities to kill enemies near president and not just watch him getting banged.
The area should be big enough to like cover whole baseball stadium if the president is standing in the centre of it. That i think should be the prefect radius. The radius of area around president can be discussed/decided by staff.
5. Better cars/bikes at president spawn. Yes, i know how the ptp has themed things (ak 47 for terros, m4 for cops , nrg for terros, police bike for cops, fbi ranchers for security) but there are still few better additions/replacement that we can make.
-> 1-2 pcj 600 bikes at president spawn. Fbi ranchers are easy targets for snipers/spas db so an option of bike might be helpful+ it might help stunt lovers.
-> 1-2 Banshee at president spawn. Looks too fancy to be an official vehicle but adding 1-2 such cars won't ruin the theme.
6. Sniper rifle with 20-30 bullets for vice president. I still believe that some vice presidents actually help president. And a sniper for vice can surely provide good sniper support. This most probably won't be that effective but it is worth giving a try because vice has nothing much to do.
Ps: I was inactive when that 'letting president fly heli' thing was suggested. I completely agree that it will make game more challenging and a lot more fun than the usual and boring terro-presi chase.
