With the Influx of players on board the station the HOP's job is becoming harder and harder. He has more people coming to him for a job change which causes the wait times to be longer. This is a problem for people that wish to play the game rather wait in line to receive the job that they want. This is why I suggest that the HOP's job is done away with and automated computers in-game take over. I person could for example stick their ID into the computer, select the job that they want and the head for that department and the captain are both sent a PDA message. If either one responds with yes to the message the persons ID is given that job and ejected from the computer. I think that this would speed up reassignment times. Now in regards to the Chain of Command being broken I think that the NT Rep should take the HOP's place for next in line for Captain. Since the NT rep represents the wishes of NT.
