Emergency Response Team & Central Command Overhaul

[dawsonkeyes]

About The Pull Request

Adds several new emergency response teams and a suite of new uniforms, outfits, ID trims, and roles to better fit Doppler Shift's universe.

All clothing and weapons were sprited by me, with the exception of the Kieran pistol, which uses sprites made entirely by Paxilmaniac for Lethalstation.

There's a fair bit of mixed inspiration as well; Port Authority/Pallas Cargo and Transport outfits and the PA-RC combat armor both take heavily after other sprites.

The Port Authority Response Corps
The "catch-all" ERT for any of the crew's needs. Response Corps officers come in a nice green hat and reflective vest to make sure you know they're here to help, and their shuttle contains supplies for every occasion, from a full surgical suite & spare medical equipment to engineering tools & explosives as well as a full armory complete with space-proof equipment and some decently useful weaponry.

The Fourth Celestial Alignment Void Corps
Taking the place of /tg/station's Death Commandos, the Void Corps are one of the Fourth Celestial Alignment's dedicated military forces. They come well-suited taking on most threats with powerfully-equipped MODsuits effective at moving in a vacuum and specialized Karim pulse rifles with grenade launchers, alongside the Minhir heavy pulse rifle and Handheld Coherent Beam Cutter for cutting a hole through any solid obstacle.

Port Authority & Pallas Cargo and Transport Officials
Taking the place of Central Command inspectors and commanders, these still-green-but-less-vibrantly-green personnel have a nice array of outfits and come well-suited to demanding respect with their fancy-pants platinum ID cards.

Shocktroopers
Factionless and nameless, these troopers come in both heavy and light-armored variants, and are an ideal well-equipped force for any events that demand antagonists that aren't the Syndicate.

New Plasma Envirosuits
Three new plasma envirosuits cover both the Port Authority & Pallas Cargo and Transport representative roles, with one solid green "intern" option being available in loadouts (alongside the void corps uniform and standard PA intern uniform).

Why It's Good For The Game

Doppler's universe is very well-written, but for several years now the game hasn't fully reflected that you're not working for Nanotrasen. This doesn't fully rectify that, but it should help quite a bit and massively improve the atmosphere - no longer are PA officials hastily-renamed CentCom Commanders; they've now got a fully unique suite of things that collectively make them special.

Also I think the old CentCom plasma envirosuit sprites were super crusty.
