Too sleepy for an effort post at the moment, but here's what I think:
When the game boils down to you vs a programmatically enforced antivirus/sec software thing, you've essentially turned SS13 into a single-player game. Regardless of how difficult/easy a task it is to accomplish, no single system should allow one guy holing up in an untouchable room to gain control of the entire station without ever having to look at or talk to another player. That takes away from the core gameplay of SS13, which always has been about the fun that comes from people interacting with each other.
I think some of the ideas would be fun, others less so, but I just feel like the spirit of the thing is generally misguided.
