# About the pull request Split off PR from #8284 because im planning to add solar devils to the spawn pool Vai spawn chance is now 10 (regular) and 10 (covert) prob to spawn instead of 20 and 20 Pizza Galaxy ERT is now 2 prob to spawn For reference, there is the current spawn chance of every ERT in the game, sorted by probability (and groupted by faction) > VAI : 20 + 20 (VAIPO + VAISO) CMB: 10 + 20 (marshals + Riot control) CLF: 20 PMC: 20 Freelancers: 20 UPP: 20 RMC: 15 Xenos: 10 (Prime + Ferals) Pizza: 1 For a total of 176 VAI is the most likely faction to spawn (roughly 22% of the time) by quite a decent margin, with only CMB coming close to them due to the riot ERT. After this change, the total is 157 probability total. <!-- Remove this text and explain what the purpose of your PR is. Mention if you have tested your changes.

# About the pull request in #7193 I wanted to add the SG frontline mode only, but couldn't figure it out until now. Solar devils Smartgunners are now stuck on frontline mode, to emulate the PVE feel, to compensate, they get 15% bonus damage multiplier. Solar Devils RFNs spawn with 30 metal (from 50) (split from #8284) <!-- Remove this text and explain what the purpose of your PR is. Mention if you have tested your changes.

The metal nerf is to discourage the solar devils RFNs from making a mega FOB when spawned by admins for events groundside, especially as I plan to make the solar devils a naturally spawning ERT. # Testing Photographs and Procedure spawned in, works. # Changelog :cl: balance: Solar Devils SGs are now stuck on frontline mode, but gets a 15% damage boost to compensate. balance: Solar Devils RFNs spawn with 30 metal (from 50) /:cl:

About the pull request
The Solar Devils (full squad) ERT can now spawn, with a 10 prob chance of doing so.
The Solar Devils now spawn in the Midway as their distress shuttle. The Almayer's landing zones have been expanded both vertically and horizontally to adjust for this.
Adds a modified version of the Golden Arrow, ported from cmss13-devs/cmss13-pve#476 as the homebase for the Solar Devils ERT. Has almost everything that the PVE version does, including the Tripoli.
The Garrow has been modified to be smaller, only having the main floor and a small section of its maints. All the elevators are gone, sorry.
The Tripoli on the garrow has its disabled set to true, meaning that it cannot be used to fly to the LZs or back. Adminspawned versions of it, however, should be fully functional.
Ports quite a few sprites over from PVE, including the whiteboard, a Working Joey container sprite Cupboards, cargo crane tracks, Tripoli-related dropship sprites, and the maptable (will be swapped out when #8130 is merged).
The chance of VAIPO/VAISO (military contractor ERT) spawning reduced from 20 to 10 on both
Explain why it's good for the game
The Golden Arrow is super cool looking, I wanted to port it over for when I try to make the Solar Devils have an actual chance of spawning (outside of adminspawn), so that others can see the Garrow.
I've always wanted to see Solar devils as a natural spawning ERT, and while they are sovl they aren't massively overpowered, rocking unmodded Mk1s with AP as their weapon of choice (As compared to PMCs, which have the antitank rifle that also has thermals).
