Craftable Encryption Key For Revs

Development Feature Requests
1

Two big pain points for a lot of players, I’ve found, about rev rounds is that -

a) There isn’t many good meta-friendly ways for the crew to actually find out that it’s currently a revs round.

and

b) Coordinating amongst your fellow revs is very difficult and becomes extremely messy the more revs that get put into the round.

I think a craftable encryption key for the revs would solve both of these issues. A meta-friendly way for sec to discover rev presence during a search, and a way to get everyone coordinated once enough revs have been amassed. This would also serve to facilitate better roleplay, as well as smooth out the gameplay kinks of the mode.

This isn’t entirely ‘Meta-friendly’ because it will just result in sec arresting people they assume to be revs and ‘incidentally’ checking their headset for the revs comms key.
Though undeniably it’d be helpful for coordination, can’t argue against that.

I think that would just be a roleplay issue if they’re arresting someone they think is a rev without the rev player having actually committed a crime.

If they commit a crime and get caught, that’s how sec can figure it out finally.

Could actually be fixed by bringing an ancient mechanic of walkie talkies having a manual freq dialer with headphones. For example revs decide that their freq is 130.21.

Or to allow revs to build their own comm server somewhere in maint. And have keys.

Both are great MRP\HRP mechanics
