Split Engi Metal

Post by NoahKirchner » 22 Mar 2017, 18:27

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):Split the 30 stack of plasteel into 2 stacks of 15.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Sharing is caring, less engi fights.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Take the 30 plasteel in the engi room and split it into two stacks of 15.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Codin's and stuffs.

+1. It is nice to divide the materials between the two engineers.

You could still just as easily take both stacks and still leave the second engineer with just the metal or nothing if you're THAT heartless.

I personally currently have no issues with the current way it is but +1 as nobody cares as less as I do about how much I receive.

Ideally one person should be getting the explosives and building materials while the other gets the turret, since the turret can be used offensively and defensively in a fluid motion while explosives and building materials are rather static.

Plus you will need all 30 of those materials to make even a barely decent FOB; splitting the already barely passable material between two Engineers would further reduce FOB effectiveness.

Well this way people who still want to work things out between themselves, like they would normally, can combine the plasteel and send one off with the turret, but for engineers who tend to split things 50/50 and just await supplies from command, it will solve a lot of arguements.

First come first serve, bitch. Also, I think it would make more sense just to...give more plasteel? Dunno on this one.
