About the PR
Basically a reboot of one of my older PRs. Most gloves will now leave scrambled prints of the user (black, insulated, unsulated ,etc) while only a couple (latex, boxing, janitorial, etc) will only leave material prints.
Why's this needed?
Current forensics are not ideal, dare I say useless. For the most part, its ignored by Detectives and regular officers as confirming the prints on anything is unintuitive as it is. Both regular crew member and crimers alike wear insulated gloves and being able to confirm who's fibers belongs to who only via direct confrontation only hassles regular crew members and is a huge giveaway for antags.
By making most gloves leave partial prints, Security can now make actual use of said evidence by using cross examination of the prints with the given Security records. Being careful about what evidence you leave behind actually requires effort now and isnt something you did by accident just because you're wearing gloves. I think it would be beneficial to Sec gameplay as well that useful policing work can be done behind a desk, not just by being out in the field.
Regarding some comments from the previous PR:
I dont think having gloves that leave no prints whatsoever would be all that good for gameplay. If anything, Id imagine it would only cause confusion. (I'd say its also unrealistic but current forensics is kind of a mess in realism)
Changelog
