Suggestion: Kit as Title

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I would like it if we could display the name of the kit we are wearing as title.

Most seem to have names that would also work as a title, like "Xenobiologist" or "Combat Engineer".

It would be easier for teaming in ground missions - its sure nice to know there are 3 career officers, 4 test tube tribbles and a tamarian envoy around, but it doesn't tell me who of them is a healer, or - of I can see on the uniform that is a sci officer, I still don't know if he wears a Medic or a Bioresearch kit.
During fleet actions, teams form and fall apart in battle, and there isn't always time to sit, have a tea and chat about who will do what. Additional, maybe the title could even have a different color while the person is in a team. Running through a mob of Romulans and trying to see if the player on the other side of the mob is teamed or not would be quite helpful and save the trouble to trying an invite.

It would also make a nice and optional roleplay element. Though there are no kits with popular titles like 'Doctor' or 'Chief', its at least a bit closer if the general career (or higher level kits also specialization) can be set as title.

Thoughts?

    Since everyone can carry different kits, it realy doesnt matter. I've got all my class kits and I'm sure most people do too.

    Thats the entire point of it. If I team with another sci officer, I would see easier if he's a Medic or a Bioresearcher, and wear the kit he does not wear, without having to discuss who heals. Just as example.
    The option would be in the dropdown "set kit as title", so whatever you wear becomes your title.
