I have been playing as Security with a random name some lately and thought that maybe people would be interested in discussing some quality of life tweaks. These are just my "hot takes" on a few rounds as sec.
Maybe sec could get their gear at spawn if they're roundstart sec? This would save an obligatory and irritating gearing up period that doesn't add much to gameplay at minute 1 of a round (for late joins it definitely adds something).
A duty belt would be handy, like a tool belt for sec items. There's already plenty of pockets + belt + PDA in ID slot that this would not be unbalancing, but it would be handy and thematic and could spawn with the stuff already in it.
The belt could have a maglite, taser, flash, baton, and cuffs or something similar to that.
The maglite would just be a reskinned flashlight, maybe you could beat people with it but maybe not, could replace it with a little tactical light that is just a brighter resprited flashlight or something, just a nice thematic element there.
Maybe the security headset could be like one of those clip on cop mikes and a radio instead of a headset? Still fit in same slot, just cosmetically different.
This is unrelated but I wonder if the PDA could become able to "dock" on the right hand side of the screen, like if you have a PDA in ID, belt, pocket, or hands slot and you are not cuffed or whatever you can see your PDA screen all the time. Might make tickets and stuff handier.
Anyway thats just stuff I thought of real quick.
