I want JOs to be barred from using specialty weapons, whether taken from the weapons rack, req or otherwise

I CONSISTENTLY see IOs taking two or sometimes the trouble of taking 3 special pieces of equipment to use for themselves, I've seen a round where all 3 IOs on Corsat would be armed with M34-T Broilers, Shotguns, Rocket Launchers and all get themselves permakilled at the sidelines because they think they're the protag of the round, is this HRP??????????

In this line of the military command rules, it is rather poorly communicated and should say specifically JOs may not deploy unless doing their job AS DESCRIBED, IOs almost never do this as described

Frankly, I believe this is TURBO LRP, the only reason IOs haven't been cracked down on harder is because it's also vastly unenforceable currently, as effectively every DS round will have this issue, which is why I believe command shouldn't be able to access the special weapon vendor whatsoever, rule enforced, mechanically enforced, or both, preferably

I would go as far as to report this because it's against the spirit of the RP

the pictures shows a slaw tho which is disposable but yeah i agree with this JOs should not be able to get their hands on certain weapons like Pyro Flamer, Rotary Grenade Launcher, SMAW, Sniper etc.

#

A SLAW is disposable

#

But no IO should have a reason to use it when doing their job as described

#

Intel Officers in real war like actually do alot of crazy shit, but that's not the angle that's being taken here, on CMU

azure sedge Jun 5, 2026, 5:05 PM

#

yeah you really have no reason to have a launcher for neutralizing tanks when your supposed to be relaying info to CiC really

It was actually useful

#

Like the cade would of instafailed

#

Without the sight line

#

Since we were under attack via xenos

amazing

#

give him a chocolate medal

#

and then arrest him

upper niche Jun 6, 2026, 1:13 AM

#

What if we arrest him and then promote him just for a demotion

I've honestly seen IOs who don't try to get intel

No flag cap, no fultons

wise pelican I've honestly seen IOs who don't try to get intel No flag cap, no fultons

Xeno bodies give no Intel

#

No point to Fulton

yeah i don’t even load fultons on any ship because they never use them. the intel teams that used to go down just hauled everything back to the ship

IO is just a useless role that people abuse to get their protag kit and do whatever they want

#

it should just get straight up nuked

#

never seen an IO do anything RP related, they are just shitters that love to waste important role slots

I've been told that IO's intended gameplay is mostly in base to actually gather information on the threat

#

IOs almost exclusively frontline

#

like people with blatant reference character names frontlining with rocket launchers and sniper rifles

chrome lichen Jun 7, 2026, 7:12 PM

#

never seen a IO perform interrogation in a POW during insurgency

gaunt quartz Jun 7, 2026, 7:12 PM

#

what is your opinion on this @tight dock I like playing IO but I do say that it should be entirely relegated to ship/base side

i dont think they should just get relegated to base side, they just should have higher RP standards

gaunt quartz Jun 7, 2026, 7:15 PM

#

IOs by the rules, poorly as they are stated, IOs may only leave FOB to gather intel objectives and may only do said job as described

This is almost never done and IOs will opt, even to last round, some guy with a shitty reference character name was being a shitter lmao

Because it's so much to enforce
