1 dismissal Make command pick between delayed ERT or instant gun shipment.

[Flpfs]

Basically, command will have two options under this proposed change.

-Send a call for an ERT, which will take about twenty minutes, give or take.

-Instantly ask for a delivery of emergency equipment, with some armor and weapons from whatever the Odin can send, the weapons will vary from okay to good.

Interesting. What would the delay before delivery be? and where would the delivery be to? could it be beamed in? cargo delivery? etc

Cargo can do that already.

I hate ERTs. I think they take the problem out of the hands of the crew, and instead put it in the hands of faceless goon non-characters (oftentimes respawns of dead sec officers). +1 from me, at the very least it'll make it so the crew might handle their own problems sometimes.

Yes, but you can get guns from cargo AND call an ERT, which will instantly arrive. With this change, you'll have to choose between waiting for an ERT, or instantly receiving a shipment of gear.

By the time Command is calling an ERT, the people who could make use of the shipment of guns and armor are probably already dead.

[Carver]

This would just encourage people to order guns off the bat and bolster the station in near-every scenario far earlier than a distress beacon does.

Voting for dismissal due to these reasons.

[Playbahnosh]

You can already order all that from cargo if it's not enough what the armory has already.

Plus, I don't think anyone would choose just a crate of guns and armor instead of a team of highly trained ERT armed with said guns and armor.

ERT is admin spawn only currently, therefore this suggestion is considered outdated.

Locking and archiving.
