Shuttle pilot/Flight dispatcher

[1262]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): My idea is to add a new position aboard Sulaco, a person whose sole responsibility is to move Vindicator and Rasputing planetside or back when needed.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Many times I find large amounts of marines either in Sulaco's hangar, waiting to be deployed or in urgent need of evac from the planet (mostly because embryos). In many cases, they have to spend a really long time until someone who can move the spacecraft has time and will to actually do it. Bridge staff is usually busy with overwatch, SLs are most likely away from the LZ most of the time leaving only the MPs who can do it comfortably.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Basically what I've said in two previous points.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Making a separate jobslot for someone with access to shuttle consoles. A headset which allows for communication with squads and command would also be reasonable as to smoothen the entire procedure. As for the last part, while I think pilots could be perfectly safe unarmed as they could do everything from safety of Sulaco's hangar, some sidearm probably wouldn't be a bad idea in case they end up going to the planet or aliens sneak aboard the shuttle.

See, i go back and fourth with this, cause I don't want the shuttle to be an "elevator" the shuttle shouldn't be brining 2 or 3 people to the planet at a time, it should bring groups to the planet, and evac casualities.

Uh, I'm not sure that anyone will wanna play Pilot, because it involves clicking buttons, can't you have a script do it?
