Why are there this few Squad Headsets?! [Marine]

[Crab_Spider]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Implement a system that allows Marines to swipe their IDs on a standard Marine Headset (for sake of gameplay to be fair), that automatically gears toward the Squad channel the Marine had.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Marines on high population rounds have very few headsets to begin with, and their best option is to vend a Standard marine headset and avoid hanging with their squad for objectives. This hinders communication, and when 20+ people don't have a squad channel, there'd be ramboing. A quality of life system that automatically gives you a headset, would fix the problem of having to increase the size of prep rooms (Joshuu), and also less ahelps regarding the fact that there are no more uniforms (that is still a very stupid ahelp) and headsets.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Implement a mechanic that allows Marines to swipe their ID on a Standard Marine Headset (the ones vended from the Marine Prep Venders) and the encryption key unlocks the Squad Channel of the Marine. The headset can be chameleon'ed (as in, a Marine from Bravo can't swipe his ID on the standard headset that was unlocked from an Alpha).

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

+1 would honestly be a really good quality of life change so that squad members aren't left with just the general radio to use.

Also as summer time gets closer this will be sorely needed.

+1 Please.

Yeah this sounds pretty reasonable. Alternatively, allow the RO to print specific squad headsets.

+1, this acctually seems like a more robust way to get clothing set up. slide your keycard on the marineVendor, and the marine vendors pop out your squad version of your clothing/ gear. Of course, you can only do this once per round, to prevent shenanigans. if you fuck up and lose your stuff, your just gonna need to hunt down a replacement gear.

Hmm, what might also be cool would be to have it also work for the other vendors, so that way theres a limit on the stuff you can pop out...hmmm. like all engineers can only get x number of equipment per slide...interesting.

+1, for reasons stated above.

We have surplus supplies now.

Locking.
