Give the RO a big voice

Post by UltimateShrekFan » 15 Jan 2017, 13:15

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): With the importance of cargo, and the ability to miss the RO letting bridge staff know supply drops are ready due to the high volume of radio chatter, the RO should have a big voice on the radio, like other command staff.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): SLs won't have to wait 20 minutes for a supply drop and ROs wont have to type '"X" SUPPLY DROP READY' forty times

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Same as above

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Update existing code to include RO.

A lot of times the command just don't notice you because your voice isn't that loud, then you need to keep screaming like an idiot
On May 17, 2016, a group of farmers dug up the diary of an ear of corn named Watson. Here are his entries.

Day 76:
They took Lawrence, dear god Lawrence... They ripped him off the stalk and smeared him in butter, just like Tyler and Jodie. They shipped him off to the popcorn factory...
I wonder what his wife will say.

Day 120: My brother says the VEGANS are protesting for more anti-meat bullshit. They want more of us to die. FUCKING HEATHENS.

Day 153: The ants are eating me from the inside out. They are popping out my kernels and taking them back to the nest. I feel them moving inside me. Julia says the pesticides will end our misery.

Day 300: Sweet Release. I can hear the planes flying over now. They are dropping the gas, it feels so good, sweet release-

+1 Always thought RO should have bigger text, as sometimes it's rough to get a word in when stuff is goin' for the worse. Or just in any situation, really.

+1 This will make the supply-ordering by communications faster and easier for the CO and the RO.

The CMO should also have one, along with the CE.

I never understood why these officers were so quiet compared to the bridge staff...

Yeah you usually get a quick dismissal if you try to communicate on the other channels +1

This is likewise where bramb began saying he lives in albania. They additionally continued pinging me with the albanian banner. They called me female. They called me gay. They said I have down disorder. They called me different names too. Also, bramb said he lives in albania when he professes to live in The Netherlands too. Lying again.

+1 Makes communication much easier for CMO, CE and RO, in their respective department.

+1. Being the RO and command or anyone not hearing you over a wall of text because that brushes over what you are saying is annoying.

Considering that often in lowpop RO is highest ranked officer on ship, having COMMAND VOICE would be quite useful.

bumping this. At the moment, I feel like I'm being way too much, even with a role as important as RO, due to my small voice.
