[PR] Hacking a manufacturer is permanent and causes malfunctions

[Chasu]

Also the two reasons you want to keep it (speeding up, printing normal stuff) I do acknowledge are reasons against this and are things I want to change, by making speeding up obtainable some other way e.g. an upgrade obtainable somewhere and printing normal stuff to just, not be locked behind hacking.

I do feel like people wouldn't be as opposed to this PR as they are if some alternative upgrades were already present in the PR itself. I don't blame you for keeping it small, just saying that a lot of these reactions don't consider future changes yet.

I just don't think this change is very good, or very thought out well. I don't understand why crew shouldn't be doing this roundstart. Is it part of the RP escalation rules? It's not like printing stuff means you're immediately going on a murder rampage. [...]  Malicious or not, these are kind of no different from hacking or jailbreaking or modifying a system to make it work better for personal projects. Were they supposed to AFK for 30 minutes before starting to do anything?

I believe you're overestimating the impact of this. It does not take 30 minnutes to print any part on any speed setting. Hacking is still an option, it's just not reversible. All this PR does is add minor downsides to doing so. I agree that the malfunctions themselves are anything but fun to interact with or engaging, and I also think that those aren't great in their current state, but I would not say that it'd have a "large impact on how the crew functions". Most strong stuff comes from vendors anyway.
