While I understand making sec equipment a little harder to get I feel the difficulty in gaining a token is a little too much right now. There's only two three options to gain more equipment right now, emag/packet into armory or QM. edit: and mechanics I suppose
With this suggestion you still have to gain the funds to buy a token, which would be a little more difficult now as you'd have to make the money or steal the budget (unless heads buying directly from budget is added). Then the secteam would get alerted equipment is being purchased, which buying from QM doesn't do.
Walking to QM - when you as an antag have stolen a security ID already and just ordering your gizmos will barely cause any trouble. QM already has money most of the time; so there is also no worry.
Not sure if my opinion might be skewed but as an antag it is really easy to just load yourself up with 103 - 180 Clocks; grenades, lots of phasers and a security token or a fucking dozen of em.
When playing Security you can also just follow your tools with your tool tracker - make sure wherever they are; who might have stolen them and so on.
Currently we have a pretty neat quality of life I reckon.
If you are lucky Mechanics have already built a teleporter system around the station and your trip to QM can be shortened down to one minute or less.
I do not believe it is difficult at all - nor has it anymore hard requirements; in fact you can get a lot more sec gear and other stuff right of the bat. Order some crates; then enjoy.
It is a different approach but not difficult. There is a potential to abuse it though so that you can have ridicolous amounts of gear: lethal and non-lethal.
