Every department lead who currently has a pet should get a beacon instead. CMO needs Runtime for the funny haha coder jokes and Ian is a must for the HoP, but QM should get a choice of a real pet besides that dumb sloth and HoS definitely deserves a choice considering they don’t even have a consistent pet between maps.
Not sure what to do about some of the miscellaneous pets like wags-his-tail. I’m not sure a janitor deserves a pet beacon. Then again, they do get a round-start tablet and Captain fucking doesn’t so there’s that.
Edit: I forgot Poly exists.
RD doesn’t get a pet, and HoP has multiple pets depending on how you look at it. Maybe the Janitor DOES deserve a pet beacon. And the clown.
From my knowledge the Quartermaster is called that as they are the master of that quarter so that indeed would make them a head of staff especially as there job is literally to control the crew working for cargo, also I full on agree to each department lead getting pet beacons INCLUDING HoP and CMO not everyone wants ian or runtime personally if I played hop (done it once or twice) I would prefer a pug over Ian the cap can have Ian if they went hell cap SHOULD have Ian especially as killing Ian makes a person valid.
Actually the term “quartermaster” comes from them being the “master” of providing quarters, rations, supplies ect. So they’d be the person in charge of cargo, as well as the direct person for quarters and rations and what nots.
