Nantei Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 It's a very odd limitation of their headsets. Last I checked the mercenary headset can talk on common, so why not the raiders? Doesn't really add anything to them, and only hurts roleplay as people often don't even know why the raiders are doing what they are doing. People who play raider often lot will usually go get a radio, but this is extremely annoying since you have to switch between your headsets. And also means that less-experienced raiders generally don't ever acquire a common radio at all, so they never have it at all. Right. So apparently just setting to 145.9 works fine. But it still doesn't super fix the issue that newer players (Myself included apparently since I didn't know this), won't do that. So how about we just default it to the common frequency and let them use :h for raider chat. Worst case: I would also be fine with adding the fact that you can adjust it to 145.9 to the examine description. Please retract the suggestion, thank you.
Alberyk Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 You can do that already by changing the frequency of the radio.

Scheveningen Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 No. You can always use :h regardless of what frequency you're set to. #antaglifehacks

GreenBoi Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Don't change it. This is a safety net so a raider doesn't accidentally spill everything over Common because they don't know the channel key is :X

Therefore voting for dismissal as having the minor inconvenience of having to change the frequency is worth the failsafe that the station wont instantly know that there is a outside force "somewhere in coms range" if someone accidentally uses common.

So it should probably be uniform.

Alberyk Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 Voting for dimissal, this is a thing in game. And anyone can find this out by touching the headset. But, I will ask for the wiki team to add this in the mercenary page.
