Blackbox

Post by NoahKirchner » 19 Jan 2017, 21:44

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Give the blackbox in telecomms a purpose.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):Arr pee, allows me to give the marines stationed in engineering/telecomms another order, another way to learn about the ayylmaos even without survivors (or those notes on the walls that nobody read), and a possible CL recovery objective.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Allow the blackbox to be A. able to be unwrenched from the ground and moved, and B. screwdrivered/multitooled open and then interacted with so that you could print it. Printing it would give you some nice written stuff like you'd see on the notice boards about what happened before the colony was demolished by aliens (just radio chatter, etc), for roleplay purposes.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Coding and spriting.

Interesting....

I will stay neutral for now until I see how this pans out.

The blackbox recorder was meant to have a story to it etc, and actually act like a blackbox http://colonial-marines.com/viewtopic.p ... 641&p=3729 albeit it seems that perhaps it was forgotten. To be fair it is a 2 year old suggestion.

Please, It would help A LOT with RP. I personally try to RP with my squad sometimes to forget the meta, and to have of course, fun. Still, It IS EXTREMELY rare to a admin to put a note In research or any other dome.

This would make RPing about what happened to the colony easier, really easier. If this Is implemented, T-comms dome will be on my number one list to get my squad and go there. +1
