If you take away suits you need to take away a good deal of special weapons. It's not so much that suits are the problem it's more of special weapons are king when it comes to raiding. One player with a gluon or tgun can take out 5+ people within seconds and if you're a new player with a nuclear printer (if you even purchased VIP) you're not going to make enough money to even afford a 7m tgun for a long time unless you waste away your life having zero fun afk mining and even then it'll take you a while. Plus don't even get me started on people with specials raiding the new players the instant their base is put down holy shit. On top of that all once you can even afford it it can get ripped so easily then there goes all your work and you're back at square one.
The problem with the server is the economy, special weapons, and how difficult it is to make money without being given a helping start is too annoying for fresh players to come on and stick. Not to mention the minuscule amount of RP that even happens on the server. Our "SSRP" server is more of a Base Wars server than an RP server. In RP servers it's actually profitable to RP and sell shit it bringing more fun to the server and is more friendly to new players looking to start making money while having fun and enjoying the player interactions in-game.
PS - If you actually do remove suits and some special weapons at least keep the suit models and change them to a player model cosmetic like the red dress shit from the ice case.
I couldn't have said it better but yeah this is a problem and i experienced that aswell, I have no suit (1st Suit already sold it...) but PSGs and i cant defend a Base when i want to start making money, aswell with the printers [normal + VIP + PBU] you get like idk 2 or 2,5mil in a hour and if you print at the right time people come and destroy your shit and then u make more loss than profit, what i am saying at this point is that its affecting new players aswell and that you cannot do enough money to get some serious Equipment to fight back or actually defend a base for once, I dont know how other People look at the Situation but it is something serious the only way of making Money is by Raping S1 with Nukes over Nukes or gamble it all the way til you have 0$ and you start back from the bottom, the only things I did in S1 are
Supporting other People Nukes
Doing my Job as a Admin and handle F1's
Raiding PD
Yeah thats basically what i did the last weeks before i resigned, with all being said I hope that we see some changes that have an positive effect for the future of SSRP.
