Actions stations midi on red alert.

[taketheshot56]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Have the BSG Action stations midi play when the ship goes to red alert.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Admins sometimes play it when the dropship is coming up and it goes to red alert, why not let us hear it every round. Who doesnt like BSG?

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Whenever the ship goes to red alert and it annouces it have the midi play.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): I assume its simple? We have ares speak command alerts wouldnt be that hard to have it play a sound whenever we go to red alert I assume.

To be fair, on one side, I think it could potentially SOMEHOW be abused every time people find a reason to elevate the security level to red (i.e. paranoid command staff) and hearing that almost 1 minute long audio could be rather annoying, since you hear it globally on the server.

On the other hand, though, I like it. It's immersive and adds a lot of tension to the round when something critical is about to happen.

Does neutral count as opinion? If not, I lean for +1.

Yea I thought about it and it is only 25 seconds rather than a minute, but of course its the same thing as shipwide annoucements.

I like the Action Stations midi a lot but I can't say I want it every time red alert is set. I would like if admins did trigger it more often and on every red alert that it was appropriate for though. For example I don't think it would be fitting to play it when red alert is activated because a mutiny is happening. So, +1, if only to tell staff that its an awesome midi to play they should use it more often but probably not automate it.

Perhaps if it was added when the dropship takes off with the xenos?

Having it play all the time would lose its value, but i'm glad you guys enjoy it enough to post a suggestion for it. I usually reserve it when the round is going to end on the Almayer for sure, because midis can be heard by both sides if it's being played globally. Gives both the Xenos and marines a sense of urgency and a build up to the final ending of a round.

However, I am afraid this suggestion will most likely be denied cause of various reasons. It's probably good enough to leave midis in the hands of admins for now.
