Content Suggestion Tech Expert indicators

[Qidn]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This would add indicators for Tech Experts, Technicians & Engineers. (The same way Janitors have indicators when holding a mop).
When holding any of the repair tool you'd get indicators around the map with broken doors, broken computers & broken camera's.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I've personally not seen a similar suggestion, however I've not submitted a lot of suggestions myself, so I might have missed it.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
+ People that flag on Tech Expert, Engineer or Technician know where to be for repairs.
+ Reduce the waiting time for other departments when in need of a Tech Expert (Since the indicator will bring them to for example D-Block quicker when flagging on)

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- A lot easier to "farm" Support XP.
- If this knowledge with indicators is considered OOC, this would promote "metagaming" to a degree. (Little iffy since Janitors have this knowledge with their stuff)

Based on the Positives / Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I feel like this would get Tech Experts quicker to a bunch of places that they'd normally not be, increasing chances of RP for them aswell. From what I've seen it's mostly D-Block that requires Tech Experts, with indicators they'd have more reason to do check-ups in for example HCZ, LCZ, LLCZ & EZ without specifically needing to be asked there in comms.

It intentionally takes time to repair things, to the advantage of whoever broke them.
This change is unneeded and makes it too easy to keep on top of repairs, meaning a single techie could easily hog up all the repairs. (so the other techies won't get any)

This would be incredibly beneficial. Janitors already get it, and it assists them in knowing what is actually broken. I don't see any way this would make tech experts hog up repairs, they either do their job or don't.

Great idea actually. Any indicator to motivate techies to go to important fixes faster is great, cause from experience one of the main things hindering breaches from being solved fast is usually Foundation Systems. Hope it gets added.

I think this would only be beneficial if there was a way for someone to report broken devices/doors with their tablet. Then a tech expert could use his tablet, click on the malfunctioning device and get the location indicator afterwards. This way it wouldn't be OOC.

The janitor one is awful. I'd only like this if it only applied if you could see the thing that was broken (i.e. shorter range, and not shown through walls) - I'd support that, but not having it be exactly like the janitor one which makes no sense.
