Let pods launch 1 minute after shuttle.

Post by CPTANT » #239268

Like the title says, let pods always launch 1 minute after the shuttle.

It would make for great rush moments where people miss the shuttle and a horde of people stampedes to the pods trying to safe themselves.

Gives you a last chance of saving yourself if the shuttle launches early/is emagged.

[20:26:02]ADMIN: PM: [censored admin]->[censored]: Welp. It was just a prank bro isn't a very good excuse when it comes to unprovoked nonantag murder, but since this is your first time doing it and you seem to understand the problem instead of a bannu I'm just going to leave you with a warning. Please PLEASE don't do this again in the future, as funny as crackhead broken bottle memes can be. Alrighty? Do you have any input on this?
[20:26:39]ADMIN: PM: [censored]->[censored admin]: Alright, no problem. I have some input. Fuck my boy pussy.
[20:27:06]ADMIN: PM: [censored admin]->[censored]: Okay then. Have fun.
[20:31:29]ADMIN: PM: [censored admin]->[censored]: Excuse me?

Make pods not launch automatically but have a button at the front to blast the fuck off. Cue scramble to find one that hasn't launched yet.

There is no such thing as "can only hold one person" when the rest command exists

could just have emergency launch only affect the shuttle and not the pods.

well first off when the shuttle is docked or in flight the button should send the pod to centcom or recovery ship or whatever, that's a good first step. the pod should never launch automatically

which also means traitors can launch them without anyone inside, shenanigans, you know

You should probably be able to launch them during red alert as soon as the shuttle departs, at the least, though that might conflict with the launch to asteroid.

red alert: launched whenever, maybe when the shuttle is called but i like the penalty of the first one (maybe one reason to not go red alert, finally)
blue: launchable when shuttle is docked and beyond
green:no launching, take the shuttle you pansies. this may seem like a bad choice but i mean you have to manually set it to green for this and green literally has no threats

delta:see red
