This will be a very nice addition to our server! I just made a new post that people can add their ideas about mods! It is pinned in this section (Rust Related), called Plug-In Suggestions!

Seems like we'd need your powerful server you're getting to run a mod like this w/o lag :)

Anyways -- class ideas:
Your typical classes: Priest (Shoot bullets @ teamates and heal them)
Recon - Similar to hunter, but with SMG/Pistols/Shotty ability to blend in with environment? Low HP specialize in supressors (No reduced dmg+range)
Balance - mediocre @ every classes passive stats: Assigned before picking a specific class
Tank - Low Damage, High HP / Shields
Soldier - Profficient w/ M4 and has low hp, but high shield levels.

Sub-Classes:
Scavenger - similar to current looter, more loot from crates, dorito animal loot
Crafter - Good at crafting weapons - Chance to make extra gunpowder, planks , w/e when crafting
Collector - Get extra supplies when collecting nodes
Farmer - TBD since we don't know yet how it works. I figure faster planting times and less water needed etc.

Just my input for experience in MMORPG's

So from what I took from this / Ideas that I got

• Prestige Classes
  
• Professions --- Like what you stated, almost another class, like Scavanger.

Unfortunately I am unable to edit alpha of the Controllers(NPC's) as it is client sided and I do not have functionality for that. I am torn between going Post. Apoc. classes or RPG style classes. Ideas?

What would be the difference between said Class genres? Just their abilities? I would go with what would make us more different, be it RPG or Post. Apoc. Though I think a long-term vote would be at-hand for that sort of a decision.

Well the issue is creating a 3rd party application to interact with Rust. it would work well if all players downloaded it and selected their class and chose their keybinds.

A post apoc class plugin would probably more feasible than an RPG one because you can get away with having a lot more passives.

I know of a program that communicates as an individual launcher for their own game, it's a mod for Arma 2 called City life, if you want I can get you a copy and you can extract it and look through the files and see how it works. It acts just as you said before, a 3rd party app that communicates with the server that can change keybinds, setting and other such things.
