Denied Melt the ice (more water)!

[YandereMuffin]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
A map change to change some of the ice sheets from around the map into actual areas of water (for swimming), most specifically the changing of the following ice:
- Lake House Ice
- Ice next to Foundation

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Probably not.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Interesting change of surface, allowing for possible new raiding strategies or surface combat interest
- Water RP increases 100 fold (only current water is radioactive)(could be for normal RP or event)
- Fishing can be added afterwards

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- Obvious use of mapper / dev time sadly less worthwhile than actual base updates or Pinewood changes
- Possibly more lag because of change in map
- Peoppe may dislike the change in surface, especially around Foundation as it may stop raiding or vehicles

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I believe this would be an interesting and cool change to surface (which is in need of changes in my opinion), I think this could expand and open up some new RP paths on surface and a small few for events and RP enhancements. I realise that should this be accepted it would still be very low down on the list for mapping work

Just swim and check there (or let SCPs drown) (you are right, this is an oversight I have not considered and would be heavily poor for SCPs doing this).

+support i think this will, by extension, flood the entire rest of the underground map? could be wrong but hope i'm not

surface combat isn't gonna be better bro... having water in MRP allows for people to shoot under which more staff issues and more players mad...

Not a cook chat.. lock in.

Heartbreaking betrayal from CT.
What else are the GOC meant to do when banned from Foundation, Ci are offline and Rangers are behaving for once?

Petition to reformat the surface into a mix of phone games like farmville.

Water in open areas? This is not going to end well for your FPS...

if the ice melts the snow has to aswell

Due to the action of self cooling the snow can stay, when a layer of ice and then snow above the ice freezes on the surface of dirt it can cause snow (and the ice underneath said snow) to exist on the surface even when it should reasonably melt.

Ice on top of water on the other hand is more likely to melt due to the water below not keeping the ice cool. Both of these can be seen in real life when there is a lot of snow but only very thin breakable ice layers on water.

+ Support, disregard FPS, water cool

Glad to know it's authorised

I am sure people are rich enough to afford mid PCs that can handle a 16 years old game
