The biggest issue with the yellow hand being COMPLETELY rng, is two fold in my opinion.
If you are beating someone to death with a fire extinguisher, and you get disarmed, that's cool as hell. Run away and go get another, they are in like, every damn room of the station. If you beat someone to death with a C-Saber, and that walking corpse smacks it out of your hand and it flies across the room and lands near a staffie, thats your ONLY C-Saber. Its GONE. Either they'll use it to kill you with it, or they'll see it as a piece of gold and stow it in their pocket and run away. You will likely never ever see it again. This is, as i've read, all a 38% chance flat every disarm attempt.
Second part. You are a "Trained" Syndicate agent. At the very least you are trained enough to be able to infiltrate one of Nanotrasens many stations. So i'd hope that you might have at least SOME weapons training. Rushing someone with a knife is a bad idea, because its kinda hard to get it out of their hand untrained, much worse a Sword made of some plasma energy stuff.
If the flat disarm chance was reduced, but the % chance to disarm if you're missing stamina was higher, it would be interesting to see. Even if we DON'T stick with that idea, it would be interesting. Then, you'd actually have folks not sprinting around all the time or spamming their attack. Because attacking can take out a LOT of your stamina. Worse if you're blocking.
