Accepted Separate vehicle and asset requests + making approving deploying vehicle request go to all LT+

[Eisenhower]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Separates requests for vehicles and assets into two different types of request.
Vehicle requests are sent to all LT+ instead of sending it to only the highest on-duty.
Asset requests are sent to the highest online.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Prevents time being wasted when the highest online is AFK.
- Stops people having to go around in comms asking someone to F1.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Can't think of any

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Makes sense. Deployment requests could also just be limited all SC online or all MAJ+ online.

Alternative could be to have people be automatically set to offduty after a short period of inactivity (shorter than the AFK timer), so long as that didn't trigger the notification about offduty/onduty

Neutral leaning to -support

Whilst this sounds good in principal, it would make stock/asset management an absolute nightmare. If HC were trying to conserve funds, or if a regiment was trying to conserve stocks, then it would basically be a race to deny the request before any LT+ approves it.

What I would support instead if a system where the highest ranking of a particular branch is able to approve/deny requests. So for example, the GEN/LTGEN could approve all, but if they are absent, JAF RC/General could approve aviation stocks.

This method (as well as the one above) would mean more people mindlessly approving requests with no real reason. It takes a lot of control away from those actually trying to lead. I get that trying to get stocks out when someone is AFK is annoying, but it's far better than every LT+ being able to approve everything.

I didn't think about asset management, I was only thinking of vehicle/heli deployments. I think stock management is something 99% of the playerbase do really well anyway so I don't think there will be a problem.

With asset/stock requests I usually go off of how trustworthy the person is, most of the time I trust anyone who can deploy so I won't question a deployment, but there is always the risk to be aware of that someone is wasting stocks/warfunds. If all LT+ can approve then it means they'll probably just hit F1 before I can question the request.

It's a niche situation but it'd happen enough to be annoying, and I also think it does take powers away from HC slightly

takes Power away from HC as it would mean someone could try to call in a airstrike and it would be harder for HC to save warfunds

Just need people who are going AFK to do /offduty, so that those who aren't AFK aren't waiting for AFK person to auto off duty and when they back they can /onduty to get requests.

I will make it clearer in the post that I mean vehicle requests.
I understand it "takes power away from HC" but rarely (99.9%) do you ever deny vehicle requests.

Just need people who are going AFK to do /offduty, so that those who aren't AFK aren't waiting for AFK person to auto off duty and when they back they can /onduty to get requests.

They don't. It would be nice if there was an AFK timer.

Hi Eisenhower, Your suggestion has been accepted. Taking into account other opinions on this thread we would like to look into making asset requests automatically approved if the person requesting is LT or above to make this process easier.​
