Summary

Allow the first radio to broadcast on a signal retain exclusive ownership of the signal, until the radio is destroyed.

Motivation

Currently, there is no way of determining the legitimacy of a radio broadcast.
This reduces interest in radio broadcasting as signals can be hijacked by malicious players (e.g. the SLAY radio hijack).
This will increase player interest in radio broadcasts as signals are guaranteed to remain theirs so long as they protect their tower.

Detailed design

Implementation would involve refusing to broadcast on any already occupied frequencies, which would be a fairly simple Collection comparison/contains operation.
No in-game changes would be necessary.

Drawbacks

  • Radio hijacking can be viewed as a feature.

Alternatives

  • No alternatives have been proposed.

Unresolved questions

  • No questions remain unresolved.
