Right so currently the MP’s have one response team that being Riot MP’s which are just more MP’s but wearing riot gear, so why don’t we add a few combat response teams similar to the CMB’s response teams? First is the Special Reaction Team, MP’s with equipment similar to a SWAT unit and prepared for Mutinies and out of control riots, Second is the FAST (Fleet Anti-Terroism Security Teams), these are basically the MP Marsoc being better equipped then the marines and the SRT and are meant for situations even worse then the ones the SRT are called in for, this would probably be used in cases where the SRT has been wiped out.

What kind of equipment would you want these to be using? Do you want these to be something the MPs or CMP can call for via a handheld beacon? Do you want these to be something that MPs can call at any point AND that are sent by the admins whenever the call is made, or do these only get sent if it’s qualified as an event by an admin? What if the CMP sends it during hijack?
The level of equipment these guys use will be a determining factor in how often they are used. Are FAST basically Marsoc in terms of equipment? Remember, the more oppressive and powerful gear a ERT gets, the less and less often you will see them deployed due to this.
How often do you see Marsoc Raiders in the regular gameplay loop? Use this to guide your answer.
The concept would be fairly straight forward to implement unless we needed custom sprites, there’s alot you can do with what we have though, it might be a neat thing to try.
Personally I dislike the idea of it being a “Call anywhere anytime” type thing as I can see some CMP going “oh my MP got lynched on alamo got to call the Swat team” the SRT should be better equipped then Riot teams and be prepared to kill Rogue marines but not be too powerful against marines, as for the FAST they should be powerful but not quite to the actual levels of MARSOC deathsquad, more like the weaker versions of MARSOC that come without HEAP, the primary way I want these guys to spawn in is SRT spawns in via admins calling it to assist MP’s due to Marines doing something really bad, and the FAST to spawn in via admins if the SRT fails and the Admins feel like sending a second wave.
