Allow marine belt to pick up mags and grenades

Post by golfer45 » 20 May 2016, 22:09

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): allow marine belt to pick up mags and grenades

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Won't take forever to fill marine belts.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Works like pill bottles picking up pills. (click on tile with belt, fills from tile)

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

+1, Its quite a large hassle to load up ammo belts for marines as a cargo tech, requiring an amazing amount of clicks per action. The loading up of ammo is a tedious, low-impact, and headache inducing task that has a very low reward.

Putting in the feature of holding on ammo belt in one hand and clicking on a magazine to load it inside would reduce the number of click from 2 to 1, greatly reducing this not very interesting mechanic to the bare essentials. Scooping up all ammo on a tile would also be nice, but i would settle just for 1 clip at a time as well.

But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!

The most tedious part of being a RO/Cargo Tech is loading up magazines into belts for transport, you have to load ammo into belts since otherwise you won't have room to carry anything else. This suggestion would go a very long way into helping cargo get resupply crates up much quicker.

That is not how belts work. Denied.
