    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.
    all good ideas

    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.
    Yeah, just as I feared. So apparently there is some hidden, unwritten rule that once you become a whitelisted CO you must always act like it and adhere to it's fifty zillion rulings, even if you are not playing CO. Just... awful.

    No its because we have XOs who play aCO and should still do some CO things. Your reasoning that having briefing causes round start shenangians and dumb stuff when we have MPs, Mods, Admins, Etc... is a cop out.

    Don't wanna do a briefing, don't be the aCO/CO

    I still did briefings pretty much 90-95% of time I played XO, and as CO I preferred to do it in the hangar because it was much more comfortable to talk to marines there, give orders and such. Easier to dodge smoke grenades too etc etc. And you know back when I was a moderator I usually played at time periods where there were no MPs and I was the sole staff online but that's besides the point.

    But regardless I'm hopeful that the gitlabbed/proposed changes to the briefing area, adding smoke grenades to the antigrief system and the upcoming maturity removal would pretty much remove most if not all problems and gripes surrounding holding briefings.

    Also here are alternatives if you don’t want to do an actual briefing in the room
    -Hold it in conference room/canteen/basketball court
    -Meet with the tank crew, squad leaders, specialist if you want in the conference room or CIC.

    Now if you actually want to line people up and want to roleplay that’s fine, if you wanna just give some orders and let the marines do their thing, meet with the SLs

    There is no issue it’s just a knee jerk reaction. You can do briefing anywhere but the hanger, so I guess it’s time to do briefing in the gym or maybe the hallway leading to the hanger.

    Problem with briefings is people are extremely LRP as Rem mentioned, this needs to be done to help with that

    Remember when people would get arrested en masse for sitting quietly on the drop ship and being a good noodle rather then causing briefing havoc.

    Thankfully only a handful of co players ever order those kinds of arrests
