Add a "Show/Hide Hivemind" button for ghosts

Post by Ordukai » 12 Feb 2017, 02:40

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): The same thing as "Show/Hide Ghost Ears" or "Show/Hide RadioChatter", but for xeno hivemind.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): It will make keeping an eye on the xeno hivemind easier as right now the only options are to be a living alien or to have "Show/Hide Ghost Ears" on, and it's difficult to have to see marines shouting "LIZARDS" and explaining how to set up the SM and a whole host of other nonsense when all you're really trying to do is repress a xeno rebellion by finding out who's shouting "Let's make a xeno democracy" and keeping an eye out to see if more dissenters pop up after you've beaten the first wave back.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Ghosts press the "Show/Hide Hivemind" button, hivemind magically starts appearing in the chat, everyone rejoices except for the rebellious xenos.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): We used to have this IIRC. Undo whatever changes caused the loss?
TLDR: Go back and read it. I spent time writing that, ya know.

I was always wondering why moderators were asking me for logs whenever I ahelped about these types of situations.

Please? There is no actual downside I can see to this.

+1, quality of life always is best life.
Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...


...

But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!
