Promoting police roleplay - separating Police and Military identity?

[TheSauron]

Police IDs are based as hell and could be strictly worse than Navy/Intelligence IDs and I'd still play them. That is however not the norm. People love being super mega grand turbo super admirals, and police IDs do not allow that. The only way you'd see more police play is if more people with an interest in roleplay would play Discovery. More specifically, an interest in roleplaying anyone less EPIC than an elite navy pilot (admiral).

(They're also fine, for anything gunboat and below the police IDs are just better navy IDs as far as I can tell.)

What I personally find funny is that the entire server plays Navy IDs like Police IDs as it is, as I barely ever see anything even vaguely resembling military roleplay from military IDs. All we need to do is just switch the infocards of the Navy and Police IDs and it'll all be fixed.

I think this nails the problem on the head. There's nothing wrong with Police IDs besides the lack of nodock, and there isn't really a non-contrived way to empower them even further. The actual issue, as Haste pointed out, is that people are just not interested in playing rank and file police officers. No amount of buffing the IDs is going to change it.
