the biggest thing for me in this thread is that people have to realize that anyone in security is the #2 target on the station for murder because of their gear and access (the #1 being the captain themselves). if you are trying to take on security, you are taking on, literally, the exact people who are supposed to stop you. it should not be easily done.
in this way i think it is pretty well balanced already.
lings can also fuck with security via their neuro and dna sings. stun them, take all their gear, change your identity. you don't have to kill someone to remove most of their ability to be a threat.
one unstated thing also is that you can just as easily use those alerts to set up an ambush. if you put Jony Sec into crit in the observatory, but otherwise in a way they can't do anything -- buckled to a chair, blindfolded or muzzled or otherwise kept from simply outing you -- wait for the rescue party to show up and launch a surprise ambush when they're busy trying to assist the downed guy.
there are a ton of ways to go about it. taking on security directly should be a mistake.
