Security PDAs and Ticket Master

[Zamujasa]

A few ideas.

- The Security Records program should allow you to modify some of the fields for a record remotely; at the very least, the arrest status, minor/major crimes, and notes fields.

- The Minor/Major Crimes sections have a "notes/details" field which could be merged into the main field.

- Using the Forensic Scan on a person should pop up a link in the chat like PDA messages do, allowing you to ticket or fine someone directly (without having to enter their name). Alternatively, the Security Records app could auto-open, and allow for direct ticket / fine creation from someone's record page (if you have the Ticket Master program).

- Tickets and fines could be marked as warnings, minor crimes, or major crimes, and get added to someone's security record when printed, if it exists.

- A special printer in the Security room that prints off every ticket received, receipt style. Click to open the current page, with an option to tear it off (resetting the list and creating a separate paper with the current contents in the process).

Goal is to make the Security Records more meaningful and easier to (ab)use.

The only thing I would add to this is a pass code you'd have to enter on the PDA to finalize setting someone's status to arrest. The pass code could be found and altered at a Security computer.

This just adds an extra layer of security from someone stealing a Sec PDA and turning themselves off/other people on arrest

Perhaps it could require a Security ID to be inserted for updating functions?

Sec pass already exists (as does med pass, but people only ever really cares about head/syndie pass)

Could just add it to their notes like pda code for traitor

It would be great if this code is already set for Security guards, rather then the player having to manually enter it at round-start.
When you buy a new ROBUST-cart for a PDA, the code needs entered manually. Sec-boys would have the code in their notes, other players would have to use packet magic to get it.

- Tickets and fines (...) get added to someone's security record when printed, if it exists.

Love this.
