There was another thread that had an idea for this, but in general doors are so trivial to hack now people don't even bother to ask to be let in.
Doors being easy to hack intially was offset by the rarity of multitools, but they're so easy to get now, but one wire unlocks every door in the station? FR? Like, how many people have been working in their closed department, a guy shows up, does not say a word, and just hacks open your door?
One idea is to let people in a department install mechanisms to make them more difficult to hack, maybe even buy them from a vending machine? Slap em on, screw em in, weld em on... boom your door now has to have a combination of two to three wires cut/pulsed to even be unlockable and has a backup battery to power the door with more advanced versions. It's an additional money sync and it lets players pay for the security which is very on brand for NT.
That's just one idea, anyone got a good one?
