Sec Equipment being overtuned

[mona]

Maybe it’s just my ignorance, but I don’t remember any radical changes to our tasers or batons except for the wavegun EMP and burst taser.

stun adjusts. aside since that was all stuns
batongs

too lazy to find taser patches aside from wavegun, burst removal but the above cell change PR affects tasers also and was what i was thinking of when i mentioned the taser PU changes


disorient changes are whatever, i don't care that much. but people here are suggesting removing cloning disks, armor, implants, weapon trackers, certain weapon capabilities like the taser shotgun big stun at closer range, and i think all of that stuff, which has for the most part been shoved here and there for balance purposes, is all in a really really good place, as someone who played with them when they weren't, or when i thought they were already in a very good place and now think they've gotten to an even better place. i don't see a lot of need to push those specific things. again: disorient changes are fine. everyone suggesting removing safeguards like disks is the stuff that i think is fairweather suggestions because there is a different time and different type of people for who that is really useful. and the server oscillates between those times and times when you can routinely get a security team of 4 people who've played together for four years and read minds and i think doing things that'll kneecap people who aren't that to the credit of trying to stop the mind reader robusto secs isn't the way to do things.

i'm of the opinion that "the balance that needs to be struck" has been struck. this will go on endlessly back and forth for this reason or that, so i'll leave it with that, i just disagree that anything is severely unbalanced and think things are fine as they are now.
