I don't like off-station crimes and I can't describe why

[Violetsaber]

The negative experiences with jailbirds far outweight the positive ones, at least from what i've seen. Half the time it is used solely to soft self-antag and mess with security, the other times it ends with an officer chasing somebody for littering to the space diner minute 5, who then runs into a completely unrelated actual antag being discovered mid prep. Or it's a three sentence exchange that ends with "unflag Staffie Mcgreyshirt" over the radio. It also does not really add that much RP opportunity to the round as it's literally something that did not happen in the round and you can only come up with so many hooks for "super farted on the captain" before it gets old. Same with stowaways, people tend to treat it more like a second clown or semi-antag. The amount of times i've looked at the crew credits in disbelief, realizing that a person wasn't an antag all along is staggering, and a lot of times they were a jailbird/stowaway. IMO between it being either a headache, ruining other peoples rounds or just a total nothingburger, little would be lost if the trait was removed.
