Galoshes and the magic sandals are supposed to be special footwear that the janitor and chaplain have. Both prevent you from slipping on non-spacelubed surfaces. However, because both of these spawn in the custodial and religious supplies lockers respectively, if there is no janitor or chaplain they quickly become the captain's or HoP's special shoes. This is NotGood because:
- It sucks to latejoin as either job and not be able to have your fancy shoes because a head stole them.
- It takes the cool feeling of exclusivity those jobs have away a bit, making the shoes not job-specific but instead access-specific. Kind of takes away a lot of the charm when you see the HoP wearing the chaplain's special shoes!
- Jobs that are high in authority should always be able to slip because it's really funny when the captain/HoP slips while trying to do something specifically because they're the "authority figures" on the station. With how easy it is for both jobs to just grab either item when the job is missing takes away from this. This is doubly true on maps that have multiple custodial closets.
I think it would be better if both pairs of shoes spawned on their respective job's feet instead of in their lockers, similarly to how the detective's gun spawns in their bag or how the nukedisk spawns in the captain's pocket.
