In-Progress Revitalize the Communion feature

[Kamilisha Haijulikani]

Currently, the Communion feature is severely underutilized, if not neglected entirely, due to being bound to the CCA whitelist & PDA. Because of how restricted it is, a lot of the requests people send through it go ignored, and without any notice informing users of its disuse, people continue to use Communion with the false impression that their rewards, requests, or attempted correspondence will actually bear fruit, something supported by the Loyalist handbook.

In the interest of revitalizing this long-dormant feature, the threshold for accessing Communion should be lowered to allow non-whitelist individuals to access, observe, and reply to its contents to help facilitate usage of this feature among the middle and lower echelons of the Combine Civil Administration factions who will be more than capable and resource-savvy to meet the demands and requests of its users, like providing an actual means for people to reward the requesting individual their due loyalist reward.

Increasing accessibility should help resolve most of these going ignored, as more proactive members of the Combine Civil Administration can take charge of responding to these requests.

If possible, broadening accessibility based on someone's tier or CID and changing it to the regular PDA should help alleviate the issue and allow individuals such as CWU management, SeCon leads, and Tier-6s to respond promptly.

(none of these are ever used/given by Citizens/CCA)

i agree with this nice fella here

Communion definitely just sits idle without any use as prescribed in the loyalist system, and its a feature that's been abandoned and needs to be brought into use again.

The last time I used communion was on my first character (Keith Ross) when I got tier 3 for the first time in 2022... as Hoki would say: LOOOL

I used Communion one time on Ulysses Nathius.
I never got my priority coupons, to say the least.

Could be cool to have secretaries for the CCA handle the mass amounts of communion. In the handbook it mentions something like Orange level loyalists being allowed to request employment of that nature.

This, except move Communion Replies to another device or literally anywhere else for the sake of accessibility. If we wanted to have secretaries or w/ever respond to this as somebody suggested then this needs to happen.

It really doesn't do anyone good when the Communion Tab is right next to two features that basically give you the ability to totally destroy and wipe out the economy.

Probably a third go ignored because they’re addressed to specific people and x person doesn’t respond.

It would be great to be able to access Communion through your datapad. I know we're already working on a datapad revamp for the Civil Protection, why not include this also?

Agreed, the feature is basically defunct due to no one ever using it or checking it, it'd be nice to have it more used, and a PDA option as suggested above would be nice im sure for the folks to have access to

As discussed on Discord, great idea.

Accepted.
