Beam up AFTER hitting the Combadge

Hi all,

Just a silly little thing but it always annoys me when I see my team beam up, that they start beaming up before they have even touched their combadges.

Could there be a slight delay on the beam up effect, like 0.5s or something, to give the animation time to execute.

Also, do you think that just one officer could give the order to beam up, rather than all of them moving eerily in sync?

Thanks.

    Technically only the Captain would need to touch his Combadge to give the order.

    Of the things in the game that bug me, that is by far the least. Theres a lot of places to go and things to do, so I don't expect everything to run smooth. The issues that bother me are missions where there's no enemies, bad attitudes in PVP and when I get booted from the game.

    I like the idea of only the captain hitting the combadge...I hope Cryptic notices this...its a small thing that would add a bit more immersion.

    How about flip-style communicators for the TOS uniforms? Seems kinda stupid to beam up after slapping a lithogram.

    My char doesn't do anything now. He just stands there as he gets beamed. He is a liberated Borg and used to touch his wrist.

    Are you using the lifers career badge? I think that is what is causing it, also have you noticed if the area around the badge glitches (turns black) when you beam out?

    I do use the lifer badge, but he wasn't tapping it before I equipped it either (that might be when he was doing the wrist tap). I haven't paid attention to the glitches. I'll check it out next time I play.

    my captain looks at his watch, I guess that means its time to beam up and go home?
