Security doesn't always valid hunt. On rp, and classic, sec culture is usually letting the antag start so we can fight them. We are there because we basically are the hazzard to the goal. Non sec crew might not attack or might be erratic. Other than the rare captain combat most crew only opportunistically attack non major antags (Chaplain non withstanding), but security is often the litmus test of evil.
Security "culture" of goon is fairly different compared to alot og other code bases, where sec is more coded to be red shirts, because our antags are meant to he solo. On, for example, TG, antags are meant to team up. A good comparison is out Csaber vs their Esaber. They both cost a similar amount. The csaber of goon deflects any ranged, kills in 3. The e Saber has a chance to block, rarely deflects, and only against energy. And deals 30. They have a more expensive upgraded version one that still does less damage and doesn't guarantee blocks. Our antag pistols guarantee desth without medic attention in 2 shots. Our wizards with a quarter of the spells are 4x as deadly.
Because our antags are designed to be slaughter beasts, our sec is designed to be strong and incentivezed to be smart. A team of all hos players could still suffer potentially devastating losses from a week old player with a couple empngrenades sun glasses and revolver.
Becsuse this balance is so tight(secs capabilities vs antags lethality) it means that outside interference can ruin their shot. The same guy who might be able to waste sec on fairly simple plays could still be one shot with a random staffie in mech boots with telepot crystal bows.
There's not an easy fix other then to try to remember killing thr spief with a mustache grenade and pizxa cutter to his namr may be an easy win. Killing the spief with 4 orions and stimpacks feels awesome. But in the end, both can be valid. But letting the antag have s chance to do their thing is usually more fun
