its not a bug headstaff (at least in the old iterations) said it was on purpose

that lead to it not ever being used since it was so expensive to craft and extremely situational, since cops also used TS quite a bit and its range was pretty small people just didnt bother with it (im assuming since it was tailored to cluttered city maps and not wide open spaces like depot)

i forget what the reasoning was for why people couldnt pick it up, but i dont think you need to pick it up just make them way more common instead



also it seems theres a bug with it now since when you were chatting on the radio we could hear you clearly, although you couldnt hear us, i think in the past it worked both ways so your text was garbled and you couldnt understand anyone radioing in either while in its zone

With this alone, its a bug then. but given the current way we're operating, it'd be nice to see it changed so it can be used on the fly, I mean it isn't that OP....

iirc it was to encourage them to be carefully used rather than just slapped down anytime rebels did anything ever?

I would presume another reason is that if they could be retrieved at the drop of a hat, nothing would stop a mingegrabber from yoinking it when nobody's looking.

I dont think they can be removed without admin intervention even if CP's found one, but i may be wrong.

I meant that if they could be retrieved without admin intervention, it means any random person can just come by and steal it. Not unless you somehow tie it to steamID, or use a password method like for containers.

Slap it down, shotcop, cops cant call out the location or info, let a 2nd guy retrieve the jammer after a while.

Thats how I would do it if it were retrievable in a City setting so probs the reason why it wasnt implemented.
