    Yes please.

    It would be cool if it worked with whitelisted roles like Captain, and Synth (UPP Combat Synths weilding Miniguns).

    Maybe it can be the start of a NEW whitelist? Like OpFor Commander?

    Bro, I'd be up for this. I'd even be up for the Political Officer to have BEs if they were whitelisted COs.
    Hell you could have a system where there is like Junior Political Officer (non-WL) and full ones. But that's getting ahead of myself....

    It could work I think and we already have most of the Marine-alts for the UPP down.
    I'll list what would be needed and what we have UPP marine-variant wise:

    UPP Squad Leader (Have)
    UPP Specialist (Have)
    UPP Medic (Have)
    UPP Engineer (Need)
    UPP Smart Gunner (UPP Don't use Smartguns, but a alternate solution... like Combat Synthetic in normal armor... could be used)
    UPP Pfc (Have)

    Furthermore, based on events and how fast they make people leaders... these following this might be easy to setup and add as basically replacements to certain roles on certain maps.\
    UPP CO
    UPP XO
    UPP CE
    UPP MT
    UPP Doctors
    UPP CMO
    UPP Pilot Officer

    UPP TC?

    I really do think this all might be pretty simple as simply coding a variant of LV-624 for example, and then replacing the USS Almayer USCM symbols, replacing the vending machines with UPP shit, replacing the spawn in names for ranks and crap, and adding one or two variants of the UPP uniform or something in a different, tanner color.

    I think you're on the right track. .
    To me a lot of those rolls should be merged since the UPP are not as eloquent as the USCM

    I'm surprised this idea hasn't been implemented yet. When can the devs look into it?

    UPP SG would be a minigun spec instead with no IFF but heavier damage
    A futuristic PKP would replace the HPR


    The ship would be very run down as it is built for functional use rather than looks, almost claustrophobic like a submarine.
    the ship would also run on an old nuclear reactor that actually requires attention from MTs rather than just refuel, fix and leave it for the rest of the game.
    UPP would simply have massive orbital cruise missiles to replace OBs.
    2nd cryo ert would come back as "emergency reservists"
    M56D would be replaced with a futuristic DShK heavy MG, it would pack more of a punch but have 25% less ammo

    Sounds too cool to be ever implemented during neo-Apop era.

    UPP Tank should be an armored Toyota Hilux with a mounted minigun. It should move faster than the USCM tank, but have a lot less health. On the other hand fixing it should be faster.
