Breaking Crates Open

[Solenoid]

I think its a good idea, but maybe a alarm system when its like a 10th of the way left on the cargo and sec PDAs. There's already PDA messages that go to engineering when its ordered so if CE comms to HoS or Cap early enough there's already counterplay in this regard, just adds another layer which isn't codependent with the additional vulnerability.

I like the idea of an alarm system, but imo it'd make more sense if this was a delayed sort of thing. In the same way as health implants. Like, there's already a pretty obvious alert to everyone in Cargo + the CE to the point where I don't think sec needs to be directly alerted through their own PDAs + Cargo again. It'd be fine to be like "ALERT: Sensor ping failed to [X] crate, last known location: [Y]" a minute or two after the crate breaks so sec can go gather evidence, scan for fingerprints, etc., but if you have it happen before the crate breaks, I think it'll just invite sec swarms to stop John McAntag from getting his hands on (mostly)mediocre sec gear. This is especially true if you decide to break into a crate relatively early when sec has literally nothing better to do than mob you.
I think sometimes a vulnerability is fine, and if a command member fails to report suspicious employee behavior to sec, then the consequences of that should be able to precipitate without a safety net for command's incompetence, but I do like the idea that sec could learn about a broken-into crate in general through some means.
