Hello Bohemia Interactive Team,
As a long-time Arma server administrator, I'm writing to request expanded server administration capabilities in Arma Reforger. The current limited RCON functionality and ingame admin commands significantly impair server management compared to previous Arma titles.
Please consider restoring these features from Arma 3:
- Mission Management: Restore #mission/#missions commands for on-the-fly scenario loading
- Access Control: Add #lock/#unlock to control player joins
- Scheduled Operations: Implement #shutdownaftermission and #restartaftermission options
- Configuration: Add #init (or equivalent) to reload serverConfig.json without restarting
- Network Management: Restore #maxping, #maxdesync, and #dctimeout and other commands a3 had
- Diagnostics: Implement #monitor and debugging commands for performance insights ( also to get server FPS via rcon) Restore detailed #userlist
BATTLEYE RCON FUNCTIONALITY:
- Command Set: Expand beyond the current four commands (kick, restart, shutdown, ban)
- Chat Support: Restore ability to send/receive ingame chat messages via RCON,Admin broadcasts
- Player Information: Add Steam ID(and xbox,playstation ids), BattlEye GUIDs, IP addresses, and ping values
- Ban Management: Implement comprehensive ban system with reasons and management tools
- Server Monitoring: Add real-time monitoring capabilities,such as server performance and events and allow running server-side scripts and automated tasks via rcon
These expanded capabilities would greatly enhance server administration, community management, and the overall Reforger ecosystem. The limited RCON protocol is particularly constraining for larger communities and professional server hosts.

Thank you for your consideration and ongoing development work on Arma Reforger.
