Things I like from this thread + my own ideas in order from "mite b easy 2 code" to "HOLD TIGHT CODE STORM AHEAD"
- Change the damn Alarm sound
The alarm sound in the armory (also add one to the genpop) to a SHRILL noise that is unmistakably noticable. Seriously. Fuck that useless "beboop". This would be a very simple change.
- Dispensable Smoke Grenades
These are cool and have varied use when used in conjuction with a gas mask. Put them in the sec vendor.
- Autopop Security
This has already been outlined in the previous thread: Less than 10 = non antag captain. 10-19 = 1 officer 19+ = 2 officers. This has a double benefit of not having a lame murderfuck captain on low pop. It's also balanced, it's not forcing a full team, only supplying the bare minimum. Consider adding in space law for all these new recruits.
- Stackable Wanted Posters
Wanted posters are extremely under utilized because a single piece of paper takes up as much space in your bag as a gun. Go the extra mile and instead of making them stackable, have a container (could even just be a paper bin) where you can drag+click ANY paper item to the bin would autostack it. Basically the paper bin can now work in reverse. This would benefit not only wanted posters, but all other documents. No more paper bloat.
- Improve Grenade Launcher
The grenade launcher takes up a significant space in your bag, and the grenades are single use and cant fit in a belt. Serious buff: Allow the grenade launcher to take up x1 space like any other item, has space for 3 grenades and the ammo can fit a belt slot. The smoke is not "smoke" but tear gas, which when exposed while not wearing a mask will cause them to "cough" and drop items like smoke, but will also create escelating blindness. Now THAT's a proper area denial weapon.
- Upgrade Brig
Cog1 brig is laughable and has ALWAYS been terrible. Take a note from the Cog2 genpop which has tables at the windows. That would fix a large proportion of the problem. Add in a monkey called Furious George who's armed with a knife. Use him to table flip, after you defeat him. It's a funny but useful addition. Also make him extremely agressive. Give the genpop more things in it to play around with. Stuff like drugs + beakers. This + the shrill escape noise would be serious improvement. Also increase the timer.
- Improved Surveillance + Anti-crime
As mentioned in the previous thread, more anti-crime things would be nice. Stockades, Shock Collers, etc. An improved camera system that allows sec to shift around instead of that big ol awful list would be nice. Body-cams on security. But this is at the bottom of the list, a lot can be improved before these additions can be looked at.
Things I question whether they are good additions or not:
- Prison Station
There already is an actual prison station. That said I'm not sure of the ethics of this. You could reserve for the worst of the worst, but Ed you're a HoS with some reservation. Not all players have that, and i'm afraid it would be abused and simple crimes would result in being put in space alcatraz. THAT SAID, I don't see an issue with putting a pod beacon at the station. More options of punishments is fun, so this can be explored.
- Whacky Flailing Inflatable Arm Waving Space Segways
While I appreciate that space segways could use some improvement, I don't know if they need that many additions. Would be cool to have some hotrod space segways that you could order from QM
- Brigless Station
Really don't like this idea. The brig is bread and butter security and if removed would essentially kill security. More options of punishment, yes. This, no.
