I can see 10 reasons why this is a bad idea:
1: It takes away inter-department interactions.
You do not have to ask the HoP for information or visit things.
2: If everyone knows what everyone does, stowaways or disguised antags will just be ratted out.
3: If there aren't enough people on 1 department but too much in the other... it's the HoP's or Captain's job to fix it.
The manifest app doesn't remove the step of the captain or HoP changing your ID, it doesn't save time either.
4: While it might help antags deciding who to target easier. It just isolates them even more in planning, without giving fun hints they are hunting someone.
5: ...Okay i don't have 10 reasons.. but there is more just not in the mood to think of it. I think 4 is a good reasoning.
Most comes down to: "It stops communication since now everyone who wants to know crew status can just check the app."
Antags, Security, Vigilante bored staffies, Engineering, everything.
You stop asking about people and departments.... and you don't even remove the factor of the HoP or Captain having to reassign you anyway.
And trust me. I rather have a console at customs where you can auto reassign yourself to another department if the HoP sets a priority for it to take that slot and lose your slot.
THAT WOULD BE GREAT!
