Hello, been a while but I'll jump right into it. The proposed addon has been used previously in the server. With the health/survival gap between the Shielded players and the non-shielded players, I would like to recommend a re-introduction to the Kevlar Vests addon.
The good news? as far as I am aware the actual coding of the addon is already set into the server in all but the orion class. All classes that are supposed to spawn with it appear to still have the path as part of their job.

What this means? it just needs to be added to the server and have 2 whitelists edited and the addon is good to go. So let me break down what the addon does

In the F4 menu, marines, grunts, jackals, and skirmishers will be able to 'buy' a Kevlar vest entity once per life. when they hit 'E' on the vest, it automatically gives them a set armor based on the vest. the three vests are light, medium, and heavy armored, already distributed as they should be.

In this, Orion would need the Heavy armor added to their F4 buy menu with the same restrictions as the other classes.

The addon is found here:

With the introduction, it reduces the gap between the lowest health classes and the mid-range classes giving a bit more balance in the scale and increasing the longevity of player involvement in events or trainings.

+1 This would be an amazing add-on to have so unshielded classes don't die from 2-3 shots.

+1 I believe this would be a great asset to both Marines and the SoS that lack shields. As it is, we get shredded on events depending on the NPCs used. This is a grat idea.

+1 I think this would help balance and be a great asset to the server.

Didn't this get removed due to it causing a larger bug that was a pain to fix?

If not would be interesting to see.

A possible idea to look into for sure.

+1 I like the idea and it would be great if it worked. However is there an actual money system in server? I know there is money but do we gain more money over time? Cause if we don't get more money we can't buy the armor.

If you were to look at the f4 menu, you would see it costs $0 right now. it would not need a money system, it is simply once per life

+1 You guys have NO fucking idea how annoying it is to be friendly fired...

Never have I died the most to allied with poor trigger discipline (Including a spartan trainee) in a single event.

+1. The marines especially need this because new players get killed too quickly during events and are then left to either sit at spawn or risk going into the map alone to try to find the rest of the marines. A little armor boost can at least help keep a few marines alive in time to get heals.

Kevlar doesn't work against explosives, and I'd most likely forget the thing exists...... +1
