This is not questionable at all! I do think critter murder should be harder and more punishable for the lols.
You hit the seal? Beepsky will put you on arrest and not only that... but what you added.
This is only for specific critters that are deemed "Friendly"
So space mouses and such do not count as they are deemd "Vermin"

They already do

Grav plating in floors to explain why there's gravity on these clearly non-centrifugal stations and ships, and a computer in the bridge/engineering/whatever to turn room gravity on/off. Obviously this isn't so much a problem on Oshan or Nadir, but SPACE stations??? cmon man

Due to the speed at which ordinary space material can be compressed to the point of undergoing nuclear fusion while displaying little loss in overall volume, we can only conclude that everything on the space station is really fuckin' heavy.

The grav plating is on the ceiling, you just can't see it.

Just as the existing floor harbors imaginary floor clowns, the nonexistent ceiling should harbor nonimaginary ceiling mimes.

I think it'd be interesting to remove the ability to broadcast on the general radio chat from most headsets. Keep most of the chat confined to just your coworkers.
Heads could still broadcast out to everyone for communications, Station bound radios and Intercoms would all still be able to broadcast to everyone, so the general public could still message the station as a whole if you were near one.
Some effects I think this would have
1. Make anatags more powerful: Less ability to communicate to a larger group of an immediate danger. Information would have to trickle up before the whole station could be alerted.
2. Control information flow. Heads become important in controlling messaging, alerting rest of station to situations in their departments. Staff assistants also become important, forming the largest information pool with the widest reach.

wrong thread idea too good.
Make talking over general comms on a civilian headset an autoarrest setting, for spam.

Why do I think I like this idea...
I like the thought that because crewmates couldn't talk to eachother large scale anymore, other devices would be used more common, like pda group messaging (although party line would be a new general radio). intercoms would likely see more use.
I also think that while it would be blocked to speech, all crewmembers would still be able to listen to it. giving more power to the radio host (for better or worse) as they can relay diffrent talks over the channels to the general public.
All that aside it can still be considered a "bad" idea ad it might start some fighting over weather the change was good or bad for the community, because so many people are used to a public radio channel

honestly i kinda wanna see how this would go, it sounds very fun not having to worry about general comms instantly alerting everyone of everything
PDAs are slower, slightly more inconvenient methods of global reach, but having the radio host also be (besides the heads) the only one to be able to broadcast to 145.9 sounds fun, make it the crew's way of spreading info or tidbits about what's going on, adds a lot of potential interaction as any crewmember that wants to tell everyone how a department's doing, their status or any incident now has to relay it to the radio host or their respective head

Glasses, visors, borg screen heads and goggles can all get broken by taking damage to the head location, loud noises like vampire scream/light breaker traitor item and explosions, Additionally they could get repaired the same way borg screen heads are.

If you hit a phone with a butt it should knock the receiver off the hook and automatically dial a random phone.
