Distress call is almost purely abuse tool
Marko:
We need Avenger blueprints. We need advanced chemical components. We found Jet blueprints but still can't make Jet after a year. We need the BoS quest-line extended and that points system developed so we can trade BoS points for blueprints like the BoS says. Geiger counters still don't work, and i still can't paste info into holotapes. The VTDB feature is kinda hosed too, and players continue to die death by lag. Yet still...i have no complaints.
Player base is way down, and where are the caps for solo'ish players? (Don't bother answering that). When we drop gecko pelts on the ground, after 3 years they still look like a Fed-X package instead of the right image. Yet still...i have no complaints.
But Jova, if you mess up this feature, i swear i might finally complain ;). You added that new encounter and everyone loved it. Can you do more of that please? Instead of messing with such an important and beloved feature? Remember the solo players and new guys trying to get a new faction going, not using voice chat yet, nor irc. That radio distress thing is warmly welcomed by all first-timers, guys who haven't even considered abusing it - they simply see the benefits of being able to call in their level 5 buddies to have a fighting chance against a simple [but deadly] raider group.
So please...develop some stuff! You're good at it! Give the game more firetruck thingies! Surprises! New maps! More quests! This game is wide open. Just please don't close it by crippling yet another "good thing".
Alexandrite:
Not to mention all the other things not implemented, such as crafting meds(buffout, mentats, etc.), and some other things I can't remember...
Trokanis:
I use Distress call to help my buddy, I don't think it should be another feature removed from the game because some group of noobs abuses it to get a weaker encounter with less loot. It has a clear useful purpose and the 'exploit' is next to useless anyway. Please realize there are some of us who actually play the game and it's features, and stop punishing us.

I agree TB PvP needs more love, but not in a way where just people (or person) who can bring more alts
win and the way radio works helps with that immensely.

That is not a solution to strap features.
Don't want players to bring immense amount of alts to TB battles? Do something about FR, now you are stripping the server from features because of it and will continue to do so. If you can't fix FR, don't remove features because of it.
