Voting for dismissal.
If there is a situation on the Aurora that warrants a crew transfer on blue alert or even a emergency shutter it makes sense to lock down the dock and send someone to figure out what is going on.
Given that this can be avoided quite simply, by changing the alert level to one that does not trigger the lockdown I do not see the need to change it.
If there are any admin tickets that take longer, admins can easily enable the spawner for the odin protection teams to make use of the checkpoint.
It should also be noted that the odin protection team has a 50% / 80% chance to occur if the checkpoint is locked down, so people will get cycled though most of the time.
Sometimes you are just out of luck tough.
