Officers asking crew to let them into areas they do not have access to will be a very unreliable method to get stuff done, and that unreliabilty will turn inoto inabilty on Sylvester where whole departments could have no staff or just one
For example, there is a Stue EvilGeneticist and they are the only medbay staff. They just knocked Stew SoontobeDeadChef after they got a genetics scan, luckily Willie the WatchfulJanitor saw this and reported it over the radio. The singular officer, Jacey Spacey runs to genetics but since there is;
No Captain
No HoS
No HoP
No MD
No AI
No Cyborgs
They have to either break the window, get tools to get the window screwed off, get an engineer to help (might not even exist) ooorrr ask very nicely for Stue to stop eating Stew’s face/drink their blood/hold them hostage. If Jacey has to take these extra steps to save Stew, it’s very likely Stue has already killed Stew
TL;DR: Stue made the blunder of being seen but Stew still died due to there being no one who can open the single Genetics door on station except the one killing them
I just can’t stress enough how poor this change is for RP, especially for lowpop. I have no idea why classic is having an effect on RP this way
PS: I never, ever want it to be normalized for secoffs to carry hacking tools on RP
