The squads system has been introduced to our server.
People will be able to make their own groups for a specific price. Regular players will have to pay 500000 $ and VIPs - 30000 $.
Only people who are at least level 25 will be able to make a squad. There are no requirements for joining a squad however.
To create a squad, head over to the Area-69 control room where you will find a yellow marker.


Squads are based on slots. 1 member takes up 1 slot. By default a squad will only have 5 slots.
Squad administration will be able to purchase more slots via squad shop. In this shop, you will be able to find some other features which are called perks.
To purchase perks, a dedicated squad budget will be used. Any member can donate to the squad budget to make it easier to purchase perks.


Squad perks:
Perks can be purchased from squad budget. They can only be purchased by members whose rank is Lieutenant or higher.
+5 slots: Adds 5 slots to your squad.
Arms for squad members: Gives 200 ammo M4, 50 ammo Desert Eagle and 5 grenades to every online squad member.
Spawn squad members: Teleport every online squad member to your position. (Except Mount Chiliad)


This system also includes the squad ranks. The General rank belongs to the founder of the squad. He can promote other squad members to a specific rank.
Once a member reaches the Lieutenant rank, he will also be able to promote other players to Sergeant rank.
Each rank has its own permissions.

Ranks:
Private - Access to basic functions such as donating and chatting.
Sergeant - Private access + ability to manage applications.
Lieutenant - Sergeant access + ability to spend budget money by purchasing perks and managing squad members (promoting/demoting/kicking).
General - Full access, founder of the squad.


This system does not have an invitations system. Instead, it uses applications.
This way, squads cannot spam invites to every player on the server.
For a player to join a squad, he will have to use the apply command '/squad apply [Squad name]'.
After that, anyone in the squad whose rank is Sergeant or higher will be able to accept or deny that application.


Other features:
The teamchat (y) is now dedicated to squads. By writing in the teamchat, every player from your squad will be able to read your messages.
Language filters are disabled for this chat.

There will probably be more squad related features added in the future.


Commands:
/squad apply [Squad Name] - Apply to a squad.
/squad destroy - Destroy the squad (General only)
