-1 Harmless bit of fun on the rasputin, I'd be fine if you removed the message from chat to reduce spam, but don't remove the ability. Also, off of the rasputin, aliens can creep out survivors by tapping on glass and sneaking around and the like. At the very least keep the sound, I'd even go as far as to add a different sound for aliens knocking on glass to make it creepier.

You could always keep it for aliens.The harmless bit of fun on the Rasputin? your a marine.Act like one.It spams the chat and its really annoying hearing the same thing for 2-3 minutes.

I'm a spess mahreen who fought in spess nam, lol. This isn't high rp, it's medium rp, so sure you should stay in character but a bit of fucking around when your bored shouldn't be completely removed.

If you get bored in a 3 minute drop then I don't think you should be playing this.Of course its not high RP and a lot of things on here aren't high RP but players spam knocking on windows for 2-3 minutes straight clogging up the chat and making the most annoying sound ever? thats what I (and many others) class as low RP.

I agree the spamming can get out of hand, but I can't tell you how many times this has gotten my attention when dying marines are outside the medbay doors.

Simple fix, remove the message, keep the sound, no chat spam.

Just adding a cooldown would be more than enough.

Removing it outright would just make it harder to get someone's attention.

No, because getting people's attention require knocking multiple times.
