Like the Syndicate Uplink, players would have access to a limited amount of NT Fun Bucks to purchase security items, items designed to increase their chances of survival and make them more capable of handling specific threats, rather than tools of outright murder. Giving sec players these options at round-start prevent the need to hunt for gear around the station.

For example, if Sec catches wind of a possible changeling, they might purchase an improved vest that is impervious to stinging or an implant that injects a preloaded chem upon winking. Other possible items might include the already implemented security baton, roll of duct tape, or box of cyber eyes. Some of the ideas posted feel like good candidates for Sec Gear, like the the metal foam gun posted above.

I like this.

In it's current position and state it's mostly unhelpful but if this was moved to print out in sec and reworked a bit I think it could be invaluable to the observant sec officer.
For instance, if there were multiple print outs, one at each 10 minute mark each updating info about the round. Each print out could provide more evidence / things to investigate about the gamemode/antags. Obviously ruining an antags round before they actually do anything is pretty shit so it should be made clear that you should not act without a justified reason.

But... Maybe instead of hinting at who or what the antags are, Centcom reports could just slowly clear other people as trusted persons.

(02-16-2018, 06:08 AM)Frank_Stein Wrote: A couple of smaller things I'd like

• Flashlights on the Sec helmets 
  - YES PLEASE! FOR ALL UNHOLY GAWDS SAKE, THIS IS BROUGH UP IN EVERY SEC THREAD. WHY DO WE NOT HAVE THIS!!!!
  
• A pair of night vision goggles
  - No strong feelings.
  
• Either safer to use segways, or a patrol vehicle of some kind
  - Would love this.
  
• A security lockdown switch, that changes door access levels to increase Sec access while limiting others
  - Do you mean like a 'Lockdown the Security Sector'-lockdown, like on the bridge, or a station-wide type thing? I like both, we need something to keep the grey-tide out of Security. And we also need better tools for cordeing off a section of the station.
  
• A device for making impromptu barricades, such as a metal foam gun
  - A player can carry a stack of 50 steel sheets, which can be crafted into 16 girders. Less of a priority, but still nice to have something faster
  
• Traps for slowing down and catching fleeing people. At the very least, a mousetrap box in Sec
  - I like this
  
• A weapons registry to whitelist people for carrying certain contraband
  - Would like this, but I don't see how this would work in code. Would it be like 'swipe ID-card on the machine, gives it a weapon permit'-sort of thing?
  
• Some kind of code system for quickly describing a situation (Hostiles, how many, what kind, armed, injuries, deaths, what kind of response desired, urgency, etc) probably an accompanying PDA program to help with it
  - I don't know. Security has already got a bit of a steep learning curve. Can you elaborate on how this greatly improves on copy-pasting a few lines from chat.
  
• PDA program for lights and siren effect
  - I like this. If only so you can spot the rookie cops by them testing it out at round start.

I can't imagine how I'd handle some situations if I were a lone security officer with only my taser and baton.
