HL2RP KDGaming - Nova Prospekt RP

About The Server​

I wanted to make a Nova Prospekt themed HL2RP server because I personally have never seen it done before. Though, it's only been made possible recently due to no Nova Prospekt maps actually being available on the Workshop, although now there is. So, I'm going to spend a bit of time on this one and make sure it's going to be worth everyone's time and can hopefully offer a different a new-ish RP experience from a different perspective. The server is connected to two other servers, ran by the same community too. So, say somehow your character escapes from Nova Prospekt, for instance, your character would be transferred to the Outlands server. Or if your character has committed enough crime in the City server, you go to Nova Prospekt. And so forth.

The server's lore may not be following HL2's completely, this is mainly for RP purposes. If I were to follow HL2's lore completely, the whole point of the RP would be you go into a pod and that's it, nothing more. In this lore however, it functions more like a prison, though a lot more extreme in comparison, keeping elements of Nova Prospekt's secrets present. I chose to set the year as 2012 too, this is so the Combine aren't as developed as they are in 2020, where they are technology supreme. This is to excuse the fact the Depot isn't built yet and can also function as the reason the Combine are relying on the old prison facility.

Prisoners

​

Prisoners are people who have committed crime, people from the Outlands, or even those who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Being a prisoner is the faction you will first play. You're a citizen, an anti-citizen or even a refugee. After experiencing the tormenting train ride to Nova Prospekt, you're introduced to their harshness almost immediately, far times worse than the cities. You're assigned your clothes, PrisonerID and sentenced to either a "High Risk" block or the "Low Risk" block; dependant on your "crime". Throughout your sentence, that never seems to end, you're subjected to a multitude of things: humiliation, isolation, being threatened, tortured, psychological horror, illnesses, aggravating work, disgusting meals and much more. You're life has hit rock bottom at this point, and it may seem hopeless, now that you've been made into the Combine's play-thing. Those who are more strong-minded may form rebellious groups away from the Combine's eye during their limited freetime, or even during lock-up with the cellmates, just to attempt to escape from their new founded misery.

Being a prisoner is going to be the most intriguing part of the RP, in my opinion. You're hopefully going to be constantly in interaction with either the Combine, Prisoners or anything else you may find.

Universal Union Disciplinary Team
​

Just like the city cops, only these guys have zero tolerance for everything.
The UUDU, a familiar looking face, or well mask. The UUDU are the main force of the facility, being the people you'll see most of the time, other than your fellow inmates... Or victims. These units have a short fuse and are likely to snap at you for even looking them in the eye, they are merciless and aren't like your regular city cops, people who've volunteered for the Union. These people are selected from the training process based off of their personality, horrible, nasty people with a corrupt mind are often chosen for this role. They won't hesitate to hurt you, they're soon to be your new worst enemy. The UUDU will often give prisoners beatings if they feel like it, they're on a loose rules-to-engagement policy at all times, they can kill you; or even worse, subject you to being one of their play-things.

The UUDU is a faction similar to the MPF, although these guys aren't augmented in any way at all. They are simply people with a "different" mindset who are here to protect the prison, not you. This faction operates on a rather long ranking system. Ranging from i10 all the way to SeC, giving players a lot of progression to be made. The UUDU are organised through divisions: STICK, APEX, KILO and MACE, each having their own specialisation that actually contributes to something, unlike divisions like GHOST etc.

Malignancy Containment Team
​

The big armoured guys that show up at the worst of times.
The Malignancy Containment Team, MCT, are essentially Nova Prospekt's OTA. They're called out when the situation gets out of hand, when the threat level is as low as amber these soldiers are out. To be caught doing something by one of these guys would most likely be your last day. Armoured in heavy body armour and being heavily modified humans in them, they're a force to be reckoned with. These units are called in when the suspicion of riot is about, able to counter the situation quickly. The majority of the force is composed of pre-war militants whom the Combine have converted into the OTA, though they may not remember anymore. Either way, these opponents are extremely hostile to malignant prisoners and even unfit UUDU; they're under a strict code to keep the prison in order at all times, even if friendly fire is an option.

Basically, these guys function like HL2's OTA. They're organised through squads, the Elite Overwatch being the SqL, Squad Leader, and the rest of the Overwatch being the squad members. They're often seen on events or if players decide to make their actions too apparent, they're kept in stasis, somewhere in the facility and are activated by Dispatch. There are two divisions for this faction, LOCK and DAGGER; both having their different strategies for different situations.

Conclusion

Why should you join this server? I'd say because it's one you don't see very often, I'm putting a lot of time into this server and I'm making sure it will be perfect from day one. There's going to be lots planned for the server, not just for prisoners but also the other factions that make up the server. I'm really wanting to kick this thing off and hopefully not have it die out in a couple of weeks, hopefully with all the planning phases out of the way over the next week or so we will be ready to launch, alongside the other 2 servers and have a good time. I know this server's lore is a little bit different, but a lot of server's are these days and some of them tend to work out, so I'm hoping you'd all like to give it a chance and show up for the opening event which will have a date in the near future. I'd also like to add that the above factions aren't the only available factions, there's going to be many sub-factions which will mostly be prisoner orientated. I'm not listing them here as they're all going to be conducted IC and it's all related to Nova Prospekts dark secrets, it's just so I don't spoil it for you all. I may update this thread in the future with additional information and of course server announcements etc.

Now I can live out my fantasy of being fucked in the ass by hairy black men and starting prison riots. Score!

 

possibly drugs too

 

Looks neat. Reading the thread was troublesome at how many ","'s are used unnecessarily.... Felt like someone was writing/saying it and was short of breath or something...
Maybe i'm just being picky but yeah looks cool anyway.

 

You seem to keep switching between squad and fireteam in the MCT description, just nitpicking

 

Never joined a Nova Prospekt RP but this one makes me want to try it. I think I'll check it out, nice job.

 

A small content pack, Perfect.

 

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I'll be updating the post once I'm on my computer. I'm not too good with making threads like these, so I do apologise for the issues.

 

I feel like this is going to be good due to your attitude going on.

I'll be sure to join when it's up!

 

Thank you. Should be worth the wait, I'm just getting every minor thing out of the way so I'll be fully prepared the day it's launched.

 

Do you plan on adding more to the content pack?

(Hopefully not much more if you are)

 

whats with the quality of the logo text

anyway it looks like a good idea but having three servers is going to be a pain in the ass vodka

 

you had like 4 one time during xtg

 

if 4 is 2 then yes

 

wait did your darkrp come after or during stalker cause i cant remember

 

Yeah, there's more to add yet. Nothing too over the top though, just a few extras.

Didn't spend much time on the logo, I'm not very good with those types of things, that and I haven't had much time for art for the thread either. I'll probably get round to improving the logo tomorrow or something, when I've got time. I'm only running the NP RP server too, the other two are being managed completely by two other people, so it'll be manageable


BTW. I wouldn't DL anything from the content pack just yet, I'll be switching it around often.

 

Wasn't there an old prison RP server that had this same concept long ago?
I can faintly remember raping some webul snowflake and their dog.

 

Thanks, I'll use it.
