hop overhaul idea

[Theunsolved-puzzle]

I think the Port-a-ID is a good idea. Maybe it should be limited in usage, for example, having a long recharge time or only being able to manually add access (not change jobs).  

I'd especially like to see more HoP uniforms, perhaps some more suit colors to fit the bureaucrat look.

As someone who used to SecHoP before loadout vendors were added (a past I'd rather not dwell on) I agree with Froggit that giving the HoP a weapon, especially a unique one, would encourage this behavior. Though I do think it'd be interesting to give him a stun cane (the one the VIP has), as it fits the HoP's theme. To discourage valid-hunting, perhaps it could only have a 50PU battery (2 charges), enough to knock an attacker down and run away but not enough for an extended fight.

Also, I think it's worthwhile to give the HoP more involvement in the civilian department, but I'm not sure how.

I think a portable ID computer could have a long recharge time, to prevent antags from simply summoning it each second their around the corner and changing their job (perhaps even removing the ability to change job titles), but I do think that giving it only the ability to add access defeats the purpose of it, and it should also have the ability to remove access as well as grant it.

As for the weapon, the hop would need a ranged weapon for the purposes of defending their cards if there's a port-a-id. If someone were to take the hops id card while they are using a port-a-id the hop would not only be behind in a chase, not allowing them to use a melee weapon, but they would also lack access an id to chance the thief to many places. Because of this, I think that a weak-low capacity e-gun that gobbles power and is more of a "one chance to get them, or they're gone" would be better.
