[Suggestion] More Emergency Options / Deployment Profiles

Postby robohunterx » Mon Feb 01, 2016 11:52 pm

Afternoon! So I've posted maybe once or twice here, and creeped the forums many times and this being my second I'd like to give a quick idea of mine.


I keep finding my self in situations where I'm forced to box-select guards to rush them into areas where a potential riot might happen. After which I usually "Bangup" sending everyone back so I can control / cleanup the situation. My suggestion is to add in "Deployment Quick Profiles" or some more elaborate name for them. TL:DR, the profiles would allow you to build a guard/patrol profile, much like the micro-management for deployment works, however in this case the quick profiles would be located at the bottom on the screen much like the Freefire, Bangup, Lockdown etc.

This doesn't seem too OP in my opinion, as I would assume most prisons or controlled facilities would have some SOP's with pre-planned deployments in the event of an emergency, and this could tie into PA. My biggest reason for this is for when I need a few extra guards to the Yard or canteen, or many I want to send everyone back to there cells and assigning additional guards per bloc would be beneficial. Currently the only way I can do the latter is setting up a micro-management profile with this setting and hot-switching it in the scheduler when needed, but this is tedious at the least.

Let me know if you like this idea or have any further ideas to build onto this!
