Structure request function

Digital_slap

I'm not sure if anything like this has been suggested before. I couldn't find a thread on it. This could be a helpful feature added into the game after it has been released.

Put in a building request menu for ground units. Sometimes I might run through an rt room and see no extractor/harvester or I do but there are no sentry guns, hydras defending it. The commander can be of course focusing on other areas of the map. Yes they could ask for it over voice chat or type it, but still.

This function could allow a player to request a structure and it would leave maybe a blinking indicator in the command view. So when the commander scrolls to that part of the map they will see the building request and respond to it if possible. Could this be a good idea or bad? Thoughts?

I think its a bad idea. Players on the ground will trigger said request. the commander does not react on it because he wants to save res for something else / something more important maybe. the player on the ground immedeatly decides that the comm is a noob since he did not react on the request and votes eject commander. this happens a few times, and a potentially good comm (who knows what he is doing, and who has a strategy) got ejected because of that. really dont like it, sorry

the commander is all knowing and has infinite wisedom. you shall not question him !
if your team looses you may punish him in the ready room and call him a noob.
but when the game is still going commander is your god.
