Talk:Alert Procedures

Thoughts so far

I think Line of succession should be by rank, with it able to be passed along. Making ROIC based off alert level is over complex and puts to much on the plate of someone already busy. If its green alert and Bill CE is ROIC, making ROIC have to swtich to jimmy CoS cause a guy pulled a gun in the bar, than back to Bill 20 minutes later once the situation is handled is bulky and cumbersome. ROIC should be ranking officer, and if there is not clear highest ranked officer, they should come to a consensus or have a priority order. Which I'd do as CSO > CE > CMO > CoS > Deck Officer > Rando bridge officers. I put CoS in the back as in my experience playing CoS I'm almost always swamped, and being ROIC and CoS is often overwhelming for me. Also helps prevent the idea of security "really" being incharge

I'd clarify instead of "he Line of Succession are not any form of "Acting Commanding Officer" and do not by means of regulation receive any notional promotion or temporary promotion, right to the CO's equipment, increase in powers, immunity to regulations and law, or the ability to change procedure; they are simply in charge of the good running of the crew and take on the burden of emergency decision-making until a higher positioned person in the line of succession is available to relieve them."

the following wording

The Highest Ranked Officer, or officer delegated leadership is the Ranking Officer In Command (ROIC). The ROIC is not the vessels Captain and does not inherit any authority resevered for the Commanding Officer, such as the ability to change procedure outside of extreme circumstance, any promotion of rank, or access to the CO's office or equipment. But for the duration of their appointment are in charge of leading day to day, and emergency operations of the vessel.

The Infantry Question. I Do think there should be an option for infantry to be deployed in a supporting role on Blue Alert. Like I've used them to guard medical during a code blue emergency. And keep an eye on Command teams who over use them.

On Code red and medical "Medical 	Full suit sensors are mandatory. EVA suit wear mandatory for emergency responders. " I think should be "EVA suits should be prepped and ready for immediate use" You don't always need the voidsuits, and they slow you down. it shouldn't be required and left up to the crew's judgement if they need them

Code Violet: I'd give the CMO or ranking officer the ability to order people quarantined.
