Not that it was particularly well thought out or explained, but my reason for suggesting that they be given access is that these are players who are generally trusted not to loot the entire armory at round start and use it to grief as non-antags etc, and if they do it as antags, well there's no real change there considering it's used almost exclusively by traitors emagging their way in anyway.

Captains aren't trusted to do shit! They are almost always new players or those dumbos who play with cap on favourite so they can grief with all access. Captains are just staff assistants with better IDs

Unless you meant captains that are whitelisted HoS' get armory access as captain as well? That'd still be dumb cause any time they get cap traitor they'd just loot the armory

If you can break into that you can go nuts.

Alternatively maybe crates could be a networked entity, then you could just hack them open along with the armory doors.

If crates require ID access, it stands to reason that they should be interfaceable somehow.

Also an Officer's Sword/Mameluke would be perfect for this, although I think TG already gave captain a sword so maybe not.

Or give HOS the option of painting his gun a different color. Inb4 clown steals it and paints the gun bright pink, or bright yellow and pretends it's a banana gun.

But he has a energy gun, with kill and taze modes. As does captain.

I'd rather HOS get a cool side arm in addition to his energy gun.


For instance a classy sword. If HOS has to use a gentleman's weapon to fight off the crew, it's probably already too late. Also an Officer's Sword/Mameluke would be perfect for this, although I think TG already gave captain a sword so maybe not.

I guess my point is that if HOS should have a weapon change, it should be a weapon that screams HOS and not just something the HOS could already grab out of the armory or QM.

For instance Cap has that antique gun he can apparently fix.
