I suggest that we add more units. We have units that are not in other servers like 187th and 3 others(whose names I forget). To make the server stand out more and to maybe attract new players I say we should add at least 3-4 new units. NCOs and CO from other clone units can voluneer to lead said unit. The staff team can do said research on said unit and make the skins for it and load out for it.

If you are talking about squads talk to your battalion lead

As a High Command member who more or less looks over all the "units" or battalions is what I call em. Currently the want for a new unit seems more or less unwanted in this server at the moment. The only factors that would help your chance of starting a new unit like 41st, 21st, or Shock or something like that is an influx of players that are from a different server.

As of right now the current player base is spread well over our 8 battalions at the moment. This doesn't mean that we need more to stand out however, we have two long running custom battalions in the form of 414th and Engineers, with other battalions having unique subdivisions or squads custom to them like my battalion(DOOM) or 212th. Server diversity is a problem with Gmod overall but when it comes to PR, I'd say we have more than enough to differ ourselves from other servers.

Our server cap is about 64 with an average player population of 35-40 per event. With that in mind, I’d classify the server as a small-medium sized server. And the one thing most small servers stereotypically end up doing is prioritizing massive variety of options over quality of given options. In the case of our battalions, it’s been stated that it’s better for us to beef up the numbers in a few battalions rather than having the numbers be spread across numerous regiments. In retrospect, 3 battalions that have 10 troopers each active for events everyday is better than 10 regiments having 3 troopers online all the time. There’s many reasons for this, but ultimately comes down to the quality experience of being in battalions. I see your point in having uniqueness, but our priorities should be directed towards the overall stabilization and experience within our regiments.

I can somewhat understand, personally I think the units we have currently should be able to do the things they should do or get some cool buffs, because for me playing trooper feels boring as shit, only time worth playing trooper is if you get into SF or maybe an agent. I wouldn't say more regiments, but maybe something cool that makes it worth playing or joining a regiment

We have multiple battalions at very low player counts already, adding more battalions would only continue to spread out the player base. Even with the general uptick in players we get this time of year, we are well past the glory days of PR having more than 8 battalions, our community is just too small for any more.

Also, any new battalions would most likely not be full of dedicated players, it would be full of existing players in other regiments using a secondary character slot and maybe 1 or 2 new people or a few permanent transfers. It would be cool for a week, then die out.

fr though I don't think a new unit/battalion/regiment/whateverthefuck would fix anything. But I do agree on the point that something new needs to shake up the server, whether that will be the ending to the "Samaritan" campaign coming never or Riddick pulling an ace we have no idea about.

maybe us gamemasters could utilize battalion roles more frequently during events, as that could incentivize more unique trainings for the CO's of those regiments to host so that when they are utilized during events they stand out much more than they would usually. Whatever the case I'm down for a big change, whatever it may be as long as it positively influences the perspective players have. As currently, the only change we are aware of is the move to s&box in late 2021.

We're spread pretty thin as is on the server between the battalions we have. A few are thriving and a few are dying. Adding more would not add anything beneficial to the server and instead harm some of the struggling battalions.

-1. We have some battalions that could use more players and adding new battalions would only put more stress on them. As many others said we don’t have the player count to accommodate this at the current point in time. All that being said in the future if we start getting a 50-60 player average then yes that is something to look at. However right now as the server stands more units will hurt some of the current ones we have now.
