After observing a bit how rounds go with this PR testmerged (and being entirely not biased, being the one who proposed it), I must say I really like how it is playing out currently, especially after the highcap has been lowered from 60 to 50.
However I would like to propose a couple amendments to it:
- Firstly I think that the secass minimum should be lowered to 1 at 20 pop, since having 6 possible members of sec (+ the HoS) at 20 pop is still somewhat too much in my opinion.
- Secondly, in regards to https://github.com/goonstation/goonstation/pull/18091 , instead of taking up a slot, but only in the event that all slots are not already filled, which feels a bit too random for me, I would suggest that the NTSC simply has no slot at all under a certain threshhold (40-45 pop seems fair to me), but a guaranteed one above that, since it's a role mainly designed to help HoSii in highpop stressful rounds.
However if, understandably, you would prefer to keep the NTSCs at lower pops, I propse that under a certain pop level NTSC would be made available only if there is an empty secoff slot, filling said slot should the NTSC join, however above a certain pop level (40-45 pop again seems fair), NTSC gets a guaranteed slot like it used to have before.
- Finally, I would also advocate for lowering the max secass cap to 2 instead of 3 in general, or ideally people that have a very high amount of rounds in sec souldn't be able to join as secass at all, but that may be a balance change that should be done outside of this PR.
