The hop is a long underdeveloped role, sitting at their desk doing nothing. being a person who mains hop, heres changes that I could see making the hop have a more active role on the station.
1) give them a port-a-id.
Essentially, give them a pda module that allows them to summon a id computer to them, allowing them to do their job and operation in civilian department areas, which they have command over. doing this would also encourage use of the acess-pro which usually collects dust in their locker.
2) give them more clothing options.
the hop, unlike every other head, has no alternate jumpsuit or any jacket (with the exception of manta, where they have a naval jacket). to fix this, give the hop alternate jumpsuits, and the naval jacket on every map.
3) give the hop a weapon.
controversial I know, but if the hop is given a port-a-id and begins to wander around the station, they would begin to mess with their cards a lot more, both when using the port-a-id and when using the access-pro. this makes it easier for staff assisnants, clowns, and antagonists to steal a card from them, to counter this, give the hop a low capacity (100pu) e-gun that can fit in their pocket with two modes. The first mode, is the normal e-gun stun mode, on this particular weapon doing this would consume 20pu. The second mode, is a disarming mode, which would make a target drop their items when hit, while powerful, this wouldn't effect their stamina at all, and would take 40pu to use, draining nearly half their capacity. While some sechops would try to abuse this, by giving it less power capacity than a standard taser and no burst capability, it makes it a objectively worse weapon to use for fighting criminals (or commiting crime) when compared to standard sec weaponry, pushing people to use it in solely defensive ways.
Ultimately I think these changes would make the hop a more active role on the station, and would let hops get to know their crew better.
