Not allowed on DS after committing a crime

[Papa_Pollard]

Right im not apart of the discord and dont talk to anyone on CM anymore so I'm a bit out of the loop on what this rules about.

Q: Am I allowed to deploy after hacking a vendor or smashing a window or is that considered a rule break?

Q: Say an MP radios that I am wanted but I miss it etc. Will it also count as a rule break if I deploy?

Q: What happens if Im confronted on the DS and as im about to step off it launches?

Q: Why was this implemented in the first place?

Q: What exactly is the punishment?

I cba with any anti mp stuff so please just answer the questions.

TLDR: If you run to DS to avoid being arrested on first drop, and it causes a massive shit storm or round delay, you get held accountable.
Players would constantly break ML and run to DS and never get arrested, and it was causing round delays because MPs would flashbang the entire dropship, or massive fights would break out.

If you do it, and a riot breaks out, etc... you get slapped for round start shenanigan's. Nothing says you can't run to DS, but its suggested you don't or at least wait until after first drop.

This feels a bit iffy holding players OOCly responsible for IC issues is a bit ehh

also could you clarify some of my questions on scenarios cause Im still not sure is it only a rule break when it causes mass delay?

Sadly this is the result of people breaking marine law over and over, round after round, and then getting on the dropship and claiming "base". Tantruming and ahelping if the mps dare to drag you off it since they had to fight your friends to do so. This is the result of you making the mps choose between letting you go and a riot.

And to be clear, I am not talking about people who hack a vendor or punch a guy. I'm talking about the people who have a critical role like spec. Then do shit like shoot up all of briefing windows; get drunk; insult the mps and command over comms; dare the mps to "try arresting me"... then INSTANTLY ahelp when they get flashbanged and "have their round delayed" and "role ruined".

can you guys at least just stick one of the W-Y meds on the ship, put med storage rigs out somewhere for marines without asking and also let people just make industrial welders? These are like common things that almost every semi meta marine drop needs and it should be available without being treated like a griefer. Asking for most of this isn't hard but its time consuming for the doctors and really sucks if the doctor is a late joiner or just not there.

I think if you request stuff like this it might be done... remember the disaster of "squad preps"?

>hack weyland in dropship - get arrested
>hack engineering vendor to get some extra batteries - get arrested
>cut wires in autolathe for industrial welder - get arrested

get noted for committing these small crimes then going to the dropship IF THEY CAUSE any problems like flashbangs. Or if you comply to the fat fuck MP that doesnt give NJP will brig you for 5-15 minutes.
Then when you come down its either your squad is wiped or the game is over.

can we at least remove the punishment from getting essential stuff.
Its just a matter of time till a petty MP abuses the fuck out of this. And so far no MPs arrests for that. Its pretty much accepted at this point to put a medvendor in the dropship. Otherwise the doctor/CMO or MPs are griefing people by not letting marines do it (even if the guy asks nicely for the vendor)

We already have """"hrp""" CMOs not letting marines get a medvendor when theres 6+ of them in the ship. When i run out of shit as medic (which happens pretty fast) i immediately go back to the FOB to restock and find out that theres no vendor because the CMO is too """hrp"""

tl;dr stop giving petty people powers to be more petty. Mostly everyone is friendly to everyone in this community. Petty people have no place here.

MP: good
MP players: bad
giving MP players even more power to fuck over people: bad
people that think they can't be punished because they're important: very fucking bad

You can still go on the DS after breaking marine law. Problems only arise if you or someone else starts to beat on or interfere with the arrest.

Nevermind that most MP players will get disarmed once and start throwing flashbangs. Start harm batoning people on the ground. Rapid fire their tazers at everyone they see.

MPs cannot go into specialist squad req doors. So you can, in theory, trip an MP and then go wait in your prep area until they leave to find an MT to pry your door open.

ok I like this one because either way they're forced to waste their time even more
