-1. CG joined CG for a reason. Too many people would give up departments and ranks for a worse department or rank, especially those in higher positions, and to my knowledge, many MSRT will not get a place in spot and same for CGIS, I just don't think this will work

Me too!

Hello everyone, recently there has a lot of rumors' going around about the possibility of a CG to LDSO merge. It has been in discussion for a few weeks now amongst SLT+ and the development team. But we haven't come to a decision yet. This decision is a very difficult one because we know it will upset some people and we don't want to throw away what coastguard has as a group. Because the decision is hard we've decided to do a trial phase for this weekend, For this weekend only we will be merging CG into the LDSO 1:1 including spec ops. If you're a police officer that needs to meet his hour requirements you can do so on civilian for this weekend only. There will be announcement posted in the discords of the respective factions with more information. Conversion Rank Structure: Seaman Recruit - Cadet Seamen Apprentice - Prob. Deputy Seaman - Deputy Petty Officer - Senior Deputy Chief Petty Officer - Cpl SCPO - Sgt MCPO/LTJR - Lt Lt Commander - Captain Nick Boyd - Major Merge Discussion Information: If we do a merge a maritime and aviation division will be created, Nick Boyd will be the major and he will have 1 captain. Active spec-ops operators if able will be instated into the respective departments and guardsmen will have the option to transfer to patrol. Please give your thoughts after reading the pros/cons and any questions. All CG equipment would be given to the maritime/aviation division (vehicle/uniform wise) Capture points would be absorbed by spec-ops Maratime/Aviation would have priority at water events but equal on land like academy is to patrol PROS AND CONS Positives Guardsmen can patrol freely on land, they will count towards all Police numbers and overall have more to do. Development work can be focused on one faction instead of two. We are limited on good command members, CG has good command members that could fill PD command spots overtime. Police members that haven’t experienced Coastguard content get to experience it. Coast Guard members that haven’t experienced LDSO content get to experience it. More numbers overall for one group instead of splitting them into two Right now there are 32 cop slots and 15 CG slots, 47 LEO is way too many, to make it fair we would have to have at least 150 civilians on which isn’t possible. This isn’t including REA. Negatives Lots of effort has been put into coastguard from command, developers and management. To throw it all away would feel like a bit of a waste even though people still will enjoy the content. Police command slots are full, even though some guardsmen might be better potential command, it is unfair to move these people out to make way for CG. CG is built on comradery, there is a possibility this is gone if forced to mingle with the simple folk of LDSO. Multiple people will not want to do this and the last thing we want to do is upset people. Some may leave. Nick Boyd may leave. SMT are adamant about not having another specialized department so MSRT/CGIS would get disbanded. Coastguard is unique and brings people to ANZUS. AGAIN. THIS IS NOT SET IN STONE. THIS IS A TRIAL. PLEASE GIVE YOUR THOUGHTS PRE-TRIAL AND AFTER TRIAL IN ON THIS THREAD.
