    Extend the drop-timer (IC excuse for the drop-ship launching at "X" time could be that we are still entering orbit.)

    Allow marines time to either roleplay, chat or if they so wish just alt tab and wait for briefing, rather than having to do tedious shit which exists to artificially delay the round, but also causes issues like SLs generally missing briefing.

    Hell, you could even randomise a briefing document which HC sends depending on the map with some fluff information based on assumed intel, which could give COs something to work with.
    I already do that last point, I usually make up some bullshit roleplay reasons why we are deploying to the colony and why I am doing my specific plan. (Ex - LV has reported CLF infiltrators growing and trading drugs, so we're gonna blow up their base of operations, the Hydroponics dome. Prison station has the political prisoner 'Lil Donny' who is Donald Trump IV's fifteenth son, we gotta rescue him, etc.)

    It helps spice the round up and generally people seem to think that it's funny and enjoyable.

    I'd be perfectly fine with forcing marines to deploy no earlier than 12:20 or 12:25 as long as all the tedious shit that they have to do gets removed, since none of the tedium adds to the roleplaying experience, and if staff claim that the early drops are a problem for xenos getting 'metarushed', xenos need to get fucking good and stop hiving in the same location on every map.

    Agreed, most COs just make some random stuff up just to make briefing a little more enjoyable. Imagine having a random story generator which could also effect survivors roles and the Intel Marines get for briefing.

    The tedium is honestly an extremely poor game design choice which has never really been updated beyond minor things (such as auto equipping clothing from machines) yet it hasn't been resolved, despite the obvious sheer talent our current development team has.

    Perhaps the staff are slightly concerned that altering this will make the server turn in to a shit show for the first 15/20 minutes but I do honestly think it's worth testing, even if we have to put up with the temporary issues it may create.

    Its a legacy "bandaid" for an issue which we could solve in a much more effective way in this new age of CM.

    The main issue is we had CO Whitelist players go XO so they could avoid WL standards for Commanding Officer and part of that was briefing.
    If you guys want a 12:20 to 12:25 deploy time again, throw it on gitlab.

    It shocks me how many people want 1220 to be the earliest you can deploy when the gitlab for it got like 15 downvotes and 0 upvotes

    I mean arent they making xenos not have upgrades anymore? That kinda counters the "we arent ready cause marines rushed" thing. So just let marines deploy whenever they want after thats in.

    If we're gonna be forced to do briefing in the briefing room can they at least revert the podium so people stop delaying briefing with smokes and shit

    This is one of the reasons why the people in charge of making rulings need to be actively playing the game because, at this point, it's apparent that they are out of touch with the community and how the game functions as a whole.
