A few fixes in mind for the future... Just suggestions.
1: If a rack is destroyed and no rack is available, all borgs and AI will revert to standard laws (unless EMAGGED).
This means a rack 2 will always benefical to be defended. It also means if a rack is fucked up beyond belief, you can blow it up.
To medigate meta game of "DESTROYING THE RACK" so no one can upload... Ion laws will be placed within this "No rack system"
As well as the new rack.
2: Hardocded laws without rack are only accessible via the bridge and use the old system of module installation or Robotics core.
Thus giving more viablity to the old modules and robotics control/core. Seriously you barely go there unless you need to "Kill a borg" or "Get a reset module"
Infact there are servers there most of the time on data tape.. something to consider? Robotics control only takes over if no rack is detected.
Thus giving both antags and security a reason to guard it or take it over or blowing up the rack.
3: Remove the standard welding to the rack...it's obnoxious. Screwdriver is enough. Make welding an option still, but by doing so you risk damaging the module, thus making the module go: "INVALID" It's a small chance for extra security.
4: because of the new "HARD CODED LAWS" system in place. it means it's easier to subvert the AI laws/Borg laws by making a new rack.
Thus forcing antags to guard a rack but so does security. Thus removing a whole war over the modules and camping the AI upload chamber.
The rack system makes both parties by more proactive. To not make it a shit fest of rack wars...make an ID check possible for the highest command to apply.
HoS > Captain > HoP > Other commands. Captain spare IDs are on HoP level, thus forcing antags to kill the captain insted of swiping the spare.
Any other made IDs by the HoP will be on HoP level too.
5: The adding of the old AI upload also means anyone can make those laws anywhere. Normally I would say you need a command ID to even log into there to do this, but since this new system means an antag has to A: "build the upload somewhere else and stealing it" and B: "Blow up the rack" The whole uploading and stealing modules is fine. I do recommend being able to ORDER NEW MODULES in the future, but it gets expensive and is command locked.
6: Finally... since both new and old are hand in hand in a way. It means good ole subverting the AI is much harder for wraiths, so I add one more thing.
"THE RACK CAN BE EMAGGED" Thus giving the AI/Borgs no laws from that rack or all kinds of Ion laws. Or heck.. it even makes the rack go down completely and forces it go to the "Old hard coded modules"
It just means Wraith's antags still have to work harder to subvert the AI then just 1 module, but making it slightly easier as the EMAG wipes the laws?
