+1 Pilots need some ground utility when 95% of deployments and events they are banned from flying

If that is the case than GMs and anyone else running deployments or events should not be able to take away the ability for pilots to fly. If pilots can't fly then what is the point of going for pilot? what is the point of having the whitelist or the pilot training. There are people that are actively pilots on the server that log on for a deployment, hear that we wont be able to fly and then log off. If you are going to take away a whole whitelists primary role the least you can do if give them some kind of purpose in another. That being said, +1 obviously.

I get that, there is also the other side too with having pilot comms for all assets in the air.

Yes, but I feel like those are more so for naval comms between themselves and their specific jobs like Med and Eng, and also their Jedi. Something more designated for specifically ATC or specifically pilots so that you could open the UI and anyone would know that the the channel is for that type of communication. Even if it was just changing the name of already existing channels.

Heck yeah, are there plans for pilot comms as well? Because that is the other half that I think would be great for the small dedicated community of pilots on the server.

Name: Deimos/ TC BLUE-2 MSG Axe RP Rank: MSG Suggestion: Add a ATC and Pilot comms channel to the Republic comms device Implementation: I think that it would be a great way to speed up getting pilots in the air and clean up some of the clutter in chat as well as providing a channel for pilots from multiple battalions to be able to communicate and coordinate with each other while still having comms with their battalion on TS. Lore: Pilots had verbal comms with control towers, other squad members, and even the bridge of venators in the show. Workshop content if applicable: Require Development, new channels would need to be created. (If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development")

Fits lore, makes sense. +1

I can confirm as one of the TU members and a former TUO. Its a cool Unit and a great Idea, but it had 2 options medic and support (Which isnt useable because the shotgun does not work) and not all people want to do those jobs, and especially not after they get ARC trained. The vast majority of people that join TU leave as soon as they get ARC trained because why would you not want to use the equipment that you earned. That is also just the main goal of the average new Rancor member, to get ARC trained so that they can move to Heavy, Support, or Medic within normal Rancor. Most people are not going to shoot themself in the leg to stay in a unit that is mediocre at best and just forgotten about by the populus of the server. It's just hard to keep a Sub-unit of non ARC in the battalion that is known for ARC. Traumas Unit just sadly doesn't fit. +1

+1 Hammer would look better with his rangefinder

Looks sick as hell +1

As someone within Rancor I have tried to recruit people within to join Traumas Unit, most people would rather stay normal Rancor so I think the change would be a good thing and allow the standard Rancor troopers to have more of a sense of purpose prior to getting ARC training. +1
