Coast Guard Equipment & Transportation Update
« on: June 29, 2017, 09:18:03 pm »
We all know the Coast Guard is not the most loved people on the server. But can we atleast give them the right equipment and transportation for the job. For example, our weapons are german based, meanwhile we are in the United States based server. Our boat is good don't get me wrong, but we should get the RHIB instead. This would provide a more realistic view.

---Equipment---
M16A4 - Scoped (Primary)
SIG Sauer P229R (Secondary)
Red Glowstick (To cordinate with Air Support)

---Model---
css_swat
     or
css_urban

(Coast Guard models are currently German Special Forces)

---Transportation---
RHIB (More speed and more turning power) - Also used by Coast Guard in Real-Life

That's what I think the server Coast Guard should be. But it's just a suggestion. Thank you.
Please feel free to comment if something should be changed.

Maybe a flare over the glowstick, since they are donator and all.

I like this idea. Also, the current boat is hell to try to get onto if you fall into the water.

The gun changes aren't going to happen. We already had the M16A4 in the CGC loadout and it was absolute trash.

The model changes aren't gonna happen either because the models I have selected are the ones I like, despite the realism.

We don't want to give them a glowstick because all glowsticks are donator-only items and it would make people who already purchased the item feel bad. We might look for a throwable flare or something in the future because I do understand what you are trying to request there and agree with it.

He means that you can throw a flare like a glowstick. Not take away the others glowstick.

Trying to get on to an unfrozen sc-1 is pretty bad, that's source I believe.

Can be fixed by simply changing the CG Boat.

That was the point of the post, it might be a bit more complicated with the lighting and such though.

Source makes it sort of difficult to get on anything moving as it propels you in the air but takes away most forward velocity.

Also the sc-1 was just meant to be a static show model for css, a fix for this would probably allowing you to hop in from the outside like the airboat.

To add to what Zaf said,

you can see this really being an issue when on a large prop boat and it's unfrozen and moving. It's nearly impossible to move, let alone do shit like manage your fishing gear. Nothing we can really do about it because of the shitty ass engine GMod runs off known as Source.

Alright, thank you for clarifying. Will stop responding on this forum since my questions we're answered.
