I've been thinking about this PR the last few days and I think I was a little harsh and should have provided better feedback.
First, pitching the idea as 'something for the HoP to fix' clearly got a backlash. Let's be real: Ion Storm hits 40 minutes in, there's like an 80% chance HoP is doing whatever wherever god-knows-what. Framing it as a new ion storm whacky-thing-it-does got far more positive feedback.
Second, I do genuinely think this will negatively newer players who don't know how to fix things. Security officer gets hit? Already has lots of access, won't care. Botanist gets hit? Lost access to his workplace, probably doesn't know why, probably doesn't know how to fix it.
Consider having the ion storm instead target door access requirements (req_access) - instead of security's front door opening to security, now it only opens to the rancher! Turns the issue from a personal issue to a problem solving issue. By making it affect a whole team you can at least decide on a solution together ("Got tools?" "yeah").
Also would give HoP's door access changer (AccessPro) (![[Image: AccessProSec.png]](https://wiki.ss13.co/images/1/19/AccessProSec.png)
) an actual purpose beyond messing around. (Not that they will start using it...)
Third, scrambling names is a good idea. Easy and harmless way of messing with people.
I do want to see this idea come into the game somehow, so please don't throw it in the trash.
