Add Visible Count Down/Timer For Orbital Bombardment/Overwatch Options

Post by Surrealistik » 02 Jun 2016, 03:04

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

Per the subject. Would like to see a visible countdown/timer displaying how much time needs to pass before another Supply Drop/Orbital Bombardment, and in the future, other Overwatch options become available.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

Gives ROs and their squads better information as to when they can employ and rely on support options.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

Per the summary.

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

Add a countdown/timer.
Sur 'Druglord' Lahzar; Field Engineer, Perpetually Understaffed and Exasperated CMO/Doctor/Researcher
Bando 'Baldboi' Badderson; PFC, Five foot ten of pure bald glory.

+1 bump. Quality of Life change that would make being an officer easier
Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...


...

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

Old topic, lack of a lot of support.

This could be possible in the future. Resolved, pending actual implementation, though I wouldn't look for it any time before overwatch is revised.
