I think the recent game mechanic changes geared toward longer rounds...could frankly use some work, but at least it's a step in the right direction for encouraging longer rounds, as opposed to the trend where (certain, but not all) admins just punish and insult people for the temerity of calling the shuttle when there's no rule against it, especially if a large majority of the crew actually do want the shuttle/are dead. It feels like you're being punished for not wanting to play a certain way, and that doesn't really encourage people to stick around. A lot of people don't really have all that much videogaming time, and if the crew decides a shuttle call is what's needed to liven up the game, I don't see the issue with it. Right now it just feels like rounds go on artificially long because no one wants to be the first to go 'how about that shuttle guys' only to face the wrath of a voice from above.
