About The Pull Request
Inspired by an Iris station feature, but coded entirely from scratch.
This implementation uses encryption keys to determine the radio channels used, defaulting to common if none, and It can be toggled on/off with a multitool.
Station fax machines pick an encryption key based on the area, and toggle themselves on automatically. SR agents and psychologists get theirs broadcasted to both departments they're under, while command only gets it on command radio.
It may be worth announcing head of staff faxes to their departments as well depending on how this pans out, but this seems better right now.
The cantina fax machine gets its own special announcement radio so it can announce over the undisclosed radio and doesn't need to go through the crew announcements system.
Why It's Good For The Game
It's incredibly super very easy to miss a fax.
This avoids that! AND lets you turn it off, or change it, or steal the key from the fax.
