Make the Captain Hat a mind shield. Like it's lined with tinfoil

This is unironically a good idea. A great idea, even.

1. The captain is being moved to a more trusted role, which is difficult if they are easily mindhacked
2. The HoP does not spawn with a set of armor and a gun/sword, meaning them getting mindhacked is not as dangerous as the captain
3. The HoP does not have AA on them, rather they have to make the AA (still easy, but more timely than just handing over your current ID)
4. Captain spawns with a disk that let's him authorize the armory without needing 3 sec/heads or a HoS. (Both with packets and with the currently tmed pr for the nuke disk)

The HoP is quite literally able to turn himself into the second captain, and in about 30% of all games this happens to some degree. Yes, he doesn't spawn with captain gear, but he has access to armor and I'd argue the power difference between them is negligible.

Disk to authorize the armory is a testmerge. Technically you're discussing a fix to a problem that hasn't even been approved yet.

My point is, making the captain more "trustworthy" while keeping the HoP untrustworthy doesn't solve the issue, it merely shifts the focus on the next best target, which is HoP. The reasons people want to mindhack the captain are all access (particularly for upload), access to all radio channels (particularly Sec) and potentially access to good gear. HoP still meets two out of those criteria.
