Yep. What the title says.
Now I know that there are other issues at hand that need immediate reworking and might take priority, like Marine Law, but I'd like to take a moment to add to the discussion the possibility of IOs getting reworked.
While there has been talk about realistic intel distribution and even a reworked way of lowering DEFCON, I feel IOs need a rework for organizing.
Proposal:
Specifically add the ability for CIC to track IOs or even have their cams watched by either the SO console or hell, maybe the XO's console (to give him something to do).
Add to that maybe, a more senior or lead position within the unit. Make IOs officially a squad with a formal structure. Lets say 1 Ensign leading and the other two slots a Staff Sgt rank or vice-versa (hell why not add two more slots to make 5 in total).
This would eliminate the need for IOs to keep asking for escorts, they can possibily cover more ground and CIC can concentrate more Marine manpower on combat.
Thoughts? Cons and Pros?
