Hey everyone,

Corresponding with the major updates we're rolling out, we're also implementing some changes regarding server settings and requirements for Sunday, as well as further clarifications regarding some things.

Due to complaints about radio protocols and conduct, we are defaulting to half-duplex on ACRE. Mission makers will be allowed to config full-duplex radios if they so desire but we recommend you stick to half-duplex.

The requirements for Sunday main missions have been updated. The minimum structure is as follows:
* x1 platoon team with at least PLT and 2IC
* x2 rifle squads with min. 6 and max. 8 infantrymen, with 1 SQL equipped with a UHF radio. Rifle squads should all be identical no matter the amount of rifle squads
* at least one medic
* 343 PR Radio is now optional
Additional units may be whatever is required by the mission maker. Even if it's a 20 man seabob magnum water shadow 730 froggers unit
It is also important to clarify that only sunday 19:00 UTC is reserved for main operations. This serves to permit maximum attendance and quality for the mainline weekly events. Outside of that time slot you may run any blended mission you would like.

We are also introducing the @mission-tester role on the official discord, as well as the #mission_testing channel. It's a restricted channel where only MM's, MT's, and the admin team have access. This channel exists to make quality control of missions more organized, transparent and extensive. Beware of long commentary lists and spoilers galore. We are also figuring out the workflow but don't worry about that too much.
You cannot get the @mission-tester role on your own, you have to request access for it from the mod team. The reason behind this is that mission testing is srs bzns and we want people that absolutely feel like they're up for the task of digging through people's missions.

The changes above will take effect starting on the week of Monday 18th.
