Ship PA and Battle Stations

[Trigger]

Here's a couple more suggestions I came up with.

1. If you remember the deployment map, you might remember how in the ATC you could activate these PA audio clips. I think this would be something cool to add to the Venator. There could be some passive ones for just random immersion, or some evac/battle station announcements for ship attacks.

2. Speaking of Battlestations, we should have them. It would help with making mini events a lot more organized, especially when there are lots of players on. Each regiment would be given a station to man in the ship, and CTs would simply be filler for whatever area needs reinforcement. This would be good for making mini events more interesting, as players could defend areas that aren't usually attacked, such as the first floor. GMs could place more enemy units throughout the ship, making feel more interesting than just mowing them down in the hangar.

Edit: Battlestations should only be used when there are 20+ players on. Also adding to number 1, alarm should be used more to go along with ship PA for better immersion. Many think it's annoying, I personally don't. Maybe turn down the sound a bit so it's more of a background noise and doesn't annoy people too much.

I feel like, players shouldn't have battlestations, instead, their officer should decide where they should go, instead of staying at one place while others have fun shooting enemies, but about PA? I dunno, someone could voice them and let @Riddick put the audio files into the map.

See that's how it's always been, but half the time orders aren't given out and it's just a straight spray fight in mhb. People don't pay attention to side hangars and then suddenly they're overun.

Have Fleet Commanders use a voice amp.

Fleet commanders aren't always on. A looped audio would help with immersion when they aren't on and with low pop.

This is not a drill.

Fire on flight deck!

When the ship is going I just say battle station. No offense but everyone should guess mhb and side hangers are first to go then 3rd floor checkpoint.

It's a good idea but I dont wanna stall out the map with something as minor as a audio clip. We got voice amp and order chat

No yeah it's not a problem of people not going to those places, it's just all of them tend to group up in MHb and then awkwardly move to each side hangars. Also, if more people covered other parts of the ship, GMs could place more units throughout the ship in places that usually don't get attacked.

+1 because it is realistic and would make it slightly more organized than "go shoot a bunch of shit and repeat for another 30 minutes", shock would go to the bridge and protect the high ranks, 212th and 501st would handle the securing of hangars, 104th and CTs would assist with what they can and 21st...... I guess 21st will burn shit.

-1, audio clips are annoying, spammable, and not needed, battlestations are confusing and cause for more confusion than they’re worth

Would be a plus one if you got deeper into detail, but honestly just seems useless for the server, and, players need too learn that they can be flanked at any time without personally assigned positions. If you want too fix it, and no one is defending side hangars, actually use them in combat, half of the time (at least while I was still playing) some GMs wouldn’t even do anything with the side hangers and barely anything with MHB, 70% of the event was made specifically for the two Naval and one engineers.
Suggestion:
1. Use the side hangers ( if undefended or undermanned) to flank and surround the big blob of people usually piled up in the MHB.
2. Use those strange squid droids and say they’re being spread all throughout the ship, actually giving people a reason to patrol and move around the ship.

+1 to the PA that would be cool
