Armory Expansion

[Dickles]

I think the main problem with adding stuff to the armory is that anything you put into it is going to be used by badguys more than sec. If something really juicy is added to it it's going to make raiding it all the more tempting.

This isn’t a bad thing

I don't think it's a bad thing either, I kind of worded that poorly. But I feel that, because it's easy to get into places in this game and steal stuff, armoury can only really have tame items; you don't want a traitor with traitorgear AND something powerful that's easy to steal. Or some random staffie to take it either just because they can. There's some nice stuff in the armoury, but I still think an energy gun is better than anything you can find in there. There's a lot of interesting traitor items that have a special place in our hearts but I feel like the armoury is limited because anyone with some basic tools can get into it. I don't want sec to have ubergear or anything that would let them win all the time but it would be nice if they had something more wild when they really need it.

There's a backup communications console in the armoury; I would like it if the HoS could requisition additional gear from CENTCOMM, when they've decided that things have really become problematic. This stuff is expensive and it should only be used in a state of emergency; just seeing a blob isn't enough it has to have done some damage. Sure, the HoS is probably dead by the time things get this bad, but it's okay if we don't see this stuff often. Should be a rare occurence. Would let SEC have some access to some stronger stuff, but only when they reaaaally need it. If someone's qualified to be a HoS we can trust them to know when this is.

One trope I'm kind of dissapointed we don't really see in this game are eye-scanners and stuff. Like, sure, there's a handscanner mechcomp that gets used sometimes but that's it. To requisition this gear you don't just need the HoS's ID card, you need his hand or eye or something too. Would make it so it's a bit more involved to get this stuff; you can still do it, but the HoS has to be dead or compromised.
