Content Suggestion Reskins of the placeable shield depending on faction

["Hydra"]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
[Add different skins depending on the faction to the placeable heavy shield]

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
[Unknown]

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
[Makes the placeable heavy shield unique to each faction as well as removes the unrealistic and lore breaking police skin we currently have on the placeable heavy shield]

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
[N/A

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
[Because it makes the shield more unique depending on which faction it belongs to, It also makes it easier to identify who placed which shield after a raid instead of having to call staff and have them check logs, Makes it also more lore friendly. Because let's be honest the current default police skin is kinda lore and immersion breaking]

Well, it wouldn't completely solve a propblock sit as you still need to know exactly who, but might help. But this generally makes sense... ish? To an extent - Thinking about it realistically, organisations like Foudnation or CI wouldn't shell out unneeded money for branded shielding, they'd just borrow/steal surplus for their use. ...UN shields for GOC would make sense, though - It doesn't make sense that from a civilian's perspective, the UN have police shields.

lowkey just making the colour a bit different would be good and removing the police part

I think just making the shields bland as Emilia mentioned would be the most realistic choice, but the idea of personal shield skins is actually alluring and could be a potential donator feature or just give it obtainable weapon skins

Just a good QoL that adds a visual cue to know who you're fighting and whose shield it is. Creates less clumsy moments.

This is a good, quick and easy approach ^

Doing it like that right away and then later just changing the textures / text to fit the respective faction.

A pretty simple change that doesn't harm anyone and just adds more colour and variety to the site, sure!

It would be cool to see different variations of the Deployable Shield.
Of course for the intent of RP purposes, designs would have to not be an infobreach; i.e. the shield having the faction logo or motto.

I mean when MTF groups are on surface their patches are infobreaches as they're IC information that cannot be taken away/hidden

How are they infobreaches though? civilians don't know that someone are from nu-7 or A-1 /O-1 just by looking at their patch cuz they don't have that ic knowledge. They just assume they are some special forces but they don't know their name or their connection to the foundation etc

Then how would this be an infobreach? When it'd just probably be the same image as what would be on their patches with just a designation under it?

I mean, you can still design a yet-undesigned thing to be an infobreach if you're malicious/clueless enough.

Imagine we get this and the Foundation shields all say "Property of SCP Site 65 Saskatchewan, Canada - Official Shield Do Not Steal - Defender against Alpha Warhead, 008 Zombie Virus..."

Why would their designation be under it though??, That's just asking for a infobreach, Tbh The shields just could have different camo patterns on it to make it distinct from each faction instead of risking someone metagaming ooc knowledge cuz they saw the ungoc or foundation insignia etc (without the motto ofc) you get the drift..
