Something I'd like to make clear is that these are not only my ideas, but suggestions I took from the discussion on the Discord on how to change the role for the better. In regards to the thermals, that was a suggestion given by someone else, which, while I personally disagree with, is still a valid suggestion. With hunting antags, I didn't mean they should just sit in their office and do nothing, I meant they shouldn't be actively chasing a suspect through maintenance, when the rest of security could do that easily.
Same thing when I say that they shouldn't be seen as part of sec, I don't mean they shouldn't have access to the channel, I mean that they shouldn't be viewed the same way as a security officer, rather, a separate part of security. Perhaps I worded it wrong, but I never meant for it to become a civilian role. I'd agree with your point on the lack of a security team meaning a detective is needed, but honestly? From what I've heard from other players, the presence of a certain person is actually what stops them playing security, meaning the presence of the detective is what has caused security to be so empty, recently.
As I've said, these aren't exclusively my personal views, or things that all have to be in, right now this second. Its a list of suggestions from a conversation between a large number of people on the Discord, on how they feel detective could be changed. Nothing here is a definite thing that we want, done in that exact way. I just felt like it was a good idea to post this on the forums, to A)Get peoples opinions on some of these changes, B)See what other changes people think would be a good idea, and finally C)Let the folks in charge know that we feel the detective is due a rework. None of these suggestions have to be followed, but the purpose of them should be taken into account.
