This mostly nerfs newer players but does nothing for experienced players. It also removes the convivence of sending an alert, meaning stuff like pretyping radio messages/pda messages become as convinent as security alerts, and the former doesn't alert the antagonist nearly as much about the incoming security swarm
This is my main thought, I used to do this on classic sec because of how fast you'd get jumped. However, I don't see what you can do about mechanical optimizations going to the extent of pretyping messages. That's a playstyle and attitude issue you can't really fix by code.
My take is that security should be reliant on the radio. I think the pager might be the acceptable comprimise that works for both servers but I'm not sure it changes anything about the "security death ball" concept.
