When you log into a communications console you can request an ERT and communicate with centcomm. When you hack a comms console with an emag you can send a message to the syndicate.
There should also be the option to request support from the syndicate. This would be influenced by whether or not you completed your objectives and so on, and would be an IC justification for button pressing.
This could also bring up syndicate death squads who's job it is to extract specific traitors and so on. Stuff like "we're sending artillery" IE meteors. If there's an active virologist they could spread disease among the crew etc. Just button pressing with IC reasons so people get less salty

I know other servers have something like this where they can call in a syndicate strike team to help them out if they emag a comms console and send a message out. It seems like it would be a really neat thing to have.

you cant directly request and ert though its done in the same way as any other communication with centcom

The current system can already be used for this. Just use a Centcomm message to ask for an ERT, or a Syndicate message to ask for a Syndicate strike team.

This is mostly possible since admins have a create syndie team button and admins can just spawn themselves in and give them custom objectives/explain shit.

Admins can also create custom outfits and rightclick select custom outfit for dudes now so anti-ERT is very much a possible thing, just that it's far harder to make a situation where it's appropriate for admins to spawn in a team of antags.

Ricotez how do you send a Syndicate message?

emag a comms console and you get a special thing.

Oh so you can already do this.

yeah and the great part is that its the one emaging thats easy to cover up theres a button right on it to fix it.

Finally, a reason to use the syndicate ERT suits.
