Why does this remove courier localisation?

You shouldn't be editing maps in the same pr that introduces something, mappers should do that on their own, or if they're unavailable, it should be a seperate pr.

Probably me misreading one of the changes in master and assuming I accidentally deleted something, I'll go undo that now

Localized entities are not a requirement and make editing more difficult. It should only be reserved for non English codebases.

would be nice for some of our downstreams that aren't English :)

Timemaster99 · 2024-05-16T00:04:53Z

By name, this is an assistant role, similar to technical assistant, research assistant, security cadet and medical intern. New players will see this and think of it as a decent role to get them used to the pressures of command before entering a position of responsibility.
That's why I motion to remove the command time requirement and whitelist. For the whitelist, I believe the purpose of that system is to keep the most influential roles to a higher standard. By itself, this role has no influence and depends on assignments from command to enact any authority (as you will not see anyone respecting the will of someone with "assistant" in their job name). As for the command time, it's unnecessary to require the role with the lowest authority in command to be in the upper echelon of experience for command roles, especially because of how attractive this role is to newer players looking to learn command.
I understand that the requirements are likely a result of the accesses granted to the role. I agree with Danger that these should be limited. Chief Engineer could benefit from AA to repair station-threatening breaches, but they are still not afforded that much power. Command access is all that's required for this role to operate normally, and since that access gives them permission to call the shuttle and make announcements, the 30 hour overall requirement is equitable. Command requirements already average ~30 hours playtime, so this is definitely enough to prevent raiders and uncommitted players.
Aside from that, I think a role to help transition players into command is a great addition. It will help new players attach to a command member of choice and learn from them, while also giving some nice interactions and roleplay for command members themselves. Great job on this PR

I plan on renaming this to Administrative Secretary to further get the point across that this is a support command role and not a command role designed for learning the aspects of command. I'll do this once I have everything all done as per the final review.

I accidentally left in 2 empty groups

looks good; only thing I'd say is to add empty lines at the bottom of each file for consistency; and to localise some of the new entities but those are both up to you.

Added empty lines to ends of files, moved some ftl stuff to delta v files, added nospawn to marker and rubber stamp.

This would probably be the command role I would play the most. Head of Paperwork, basically. I love bureaucracy.
