Bring back radio on dropship/pod

Post by Szunti » 10 Nov 2016, 08:26

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Radio used to work on dropship/pod.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
  • Marines just sitting there, perfect time to greet the BO, ask questions about mission from command, tell doctors what's wrong with the patient you are escorting etc.
  • Talking to a marine from bridge and wondering if he ignores you or just on the pod is really annoying. Same when you talk to them while they are departing. You never know when they stopped getting it.

I support this suggestion because you can install cameras on the pod/rasp and you'll be able to use them while its inflight while comms don't work. A bit silly. Could someone provide a backstory to why comms don't work on them?

kinda doesn't make any sense why comns would not work, how would a dropship be able to contact the ground or their ship awhile flying?
