As a, dare I say Omega nerd, Packets definitely need a nerf, As of right now, you need a Dwaine terminal, A cartridge that can be bought from vending machines, and a id, to open every single locker, door, and crate, remotely. The three main things i can think of to nerf packets are
1:Make it harder to get the software required for packets, Aka packet senders and packet sniffers/ ping tool, Say, they spawn in a cartidge in the RDS office(RD is actually supposed to be head Dwaine kinda nerd), or some other actually hard place to get them from
2: Encryption, As with most IRL network security, things are encrypted, via DES, RC2, or RC4, Along with a Traffic key, So basically, SS13afy those encryption methods, and apply them to packets, Which would be classified as either Secure(Encrypted) Or Unsecure(Unencrypted)
3: Make it so that packets have to go through a main processing mainframe first, Where they are automatically processed to be valid via a key. If the key is correct, allow it through, If it isn't, block the packet, Normally this would be done automatically, but with the right access, you could set it to be manual, so x person viewing the packets reads them manually and chooses to allow or disallow
Ideally, Packets should be a advanced way to get into places, So, say your a traitor attempting to get into armory, but you cant afford a emag and don't know how to crack crates/lockers, You should mindslave a packet nerd, then, To do their thing and crack open lockers, They should have to go into tech storage to have the tools to crack those crates, Which should only be doable via a dwaine terminal, on the other end, You the traitor have to break into armory, gather some info for your mindslave, Send it back via some form, and wait
