I found out recently that during wars, leaders usually give permanent auth to low ranked members so they could shoot at those who outrank them in order to give them protection. So sometimes, a leader doesn't really want to give a permanent auth but is forced to because of the war. Therefore my suggestion is temporary auth, or maybe the toggle on-off style auth. Simply, if a leader doesn't trust someone but needs their help during war time, they auth them for the war and then un-auth them when the war is over. What do you think about this suggestion?

I think there is nothing wrong with the current system. If the leader doesn't trust them, dont give them the auth?

There is no reason for Temporary auth. The leader can easily revoke the auth granted in the war once it's over. That's what my ancestors have always done. After a war.. completely refresh everyone's auth. Even those who're hitters that I know needed it.

It saves confusion having to try and nitpick at the ones who you think don't need auth anymore. Remove it all have those who need it request it again. Takes a total of 5 minutes tops.

My apologies, I thought permanent auth was truly permanent.

I think a better suggestion would be "auth is permanent once given".

Leaders awarding auth before having a paranoia attack and retracting it once they've got themselves some protection seems to defeat the purpose to me.

Well sometimes you're forced to give permanent auth in order to get more pros and those pros are sometimes people you don't trust 100%.

I think a simple 24 hour auth bellow to the permanent auth would be a good suggestion.

If you don't trust someone, don't give them auth.

If you want to risk trusting them to protect yourself, you shouldn't be able to suddenly retract it once you're safe.

Completely agree with Grin. The option is there to put your trust in people, however, things happen and people change, so I can understand there being scenario's where the option would be required to be removed again, so again I see nothing wrong with the current system.

All i can see this doing is making there be less the crew leader needs to sdo. while i understand that the job of captain is a big one, I do not think that automation is the answer

I meant shooting auth not HQ auth :)
