Impose Austerity On Station To Improve The Game

[mbc]

It isn't limiting the players freedom, it is simply making you work for your gimmick or goal instead of just running to some maint room and having everything ever

Agreed!

I think more electrified grilles would be nice. I also think a good place to start might be to look at the distribution of O2 tanks, space suits, and internals supply around the station. 

Anybody remember when EVA was an important room, full of resources only the heads+AI had access to that were saved for emergencies? I liked it - there was room for some fun things to happen centered around this. The AI might bolt this room open to give the crew a fighting chance during a disaster. The captain and his buddies might take all the jetpacks for themselves, leaving lowly staff assistants to make do with less sophisticated equipment as the station is bombed to pieces. Security would keep a passive watch on this area - if someone had broken in, all the supplies were bound to be looted within minutes. Nowadays, the only item people care about in EVA is the RCD.
