Remove Console locking for overwatch Consoles

Post by Gentlefood » 12 Aug 2015, 22:01

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): See Title

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): There have been many times where a BO or other command staff have locked a console just to go SSD, suicide, or otherwise become disabled. This will prevent SLs from getting randomly screwed by no longer getting Orbital Strikes, A Bird's Eye Overwatch, and Supply Drops because a player ran off.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): No longer allow overwatch consoles to be locked. Or have it so if another Overwatch officer uses their ID on a console not in use they can override the lock.

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

I suggest rather than removing the lock, make it so the XO and Commander can override the lock with a simple swipe of their ID.
