I also don't think this is anywhere near enough complexity for opening these - those glass doors are used for surprisingly secure areas, and it comes with no risk. If you want to use the "but there are probably windows around" thing, remember that they likely have grilles that may be electrified. This change would basically mean that glass doors offer zero security.

If it took some time to pry open (i.e. had one of those progress bars) it might be okay, I suppose. Just my two cents, though.

I thought the brig used sliding doors (considering there's a section in the window.dm file called "brig door") but I just checked the map and it doesn't, so I'm confused. Am I missing something? (AI Upload and Computer Core are secure areas but they have thin windows right next to the doors, so that doesn't really make it more secure.

EDIT: The only /secure/ area that I can think of with a sliding door is cog1 QM, but not many people are going to be breaking into QM.

(I'll still make a progress bar for crowbarring the door though)

AI upload on Destiny immediately comes to mind. The brig on the Destiny also uses sliding doors, and the windows there are plasmaglass so not trivial to bust through (screwdriver/crowbar/screwdriver obviously works, but there are several layers of it if I remember rightly).

Easy to hack glass ones which showed up in civilian spots like the bar, and harder to hack plasmaglass ones with additional features, maybe like bolts and or ai controls., that appeared in places like destiny's brig and upload.

I'm thinking building an assembly with glass and inserting cable, but I'm open to opinions
