The point of it is to be better than the handcuffs. So I'd want to avoid going too far in the direction of making it "worse" worse. But I agree that some tweaks to it are worth trying out. I'll respond to your points here:
1. Not sure what this means exactly, but it *sounds* alright. You mean remove the pda program from sec officers and only have it for the HoS? You'd have to make it require an HoS ID card to prevent the HOs from just mailing people the program. Also, where does the porta brig remote object come in here? I assume that'll stay, forcing officers to choose to bring that item if they want the porta brig.
I wouldn't really want the port a brig being sorta turned into an HoS exclusive, but if it's still usable by the regular officers with the remote object then it should be fine. Provided it works like that.
2. This is is kinda alright too, I'm not sure. I've basically always cuffed people before porta brigging them so that's how I'd play. Maybe not *requiring* to be cuffed, but if you throw an uncuffed person in, they could break out in like 45 seconds-ish (handcuff time).
3. I think this is tackling the same problem as 2. And I think it solves it better.
4. No.
I think I'd like to see a mixture of 1 and 3 to see how that effects things, provided the porta brig remote items don't get removed. I'm not really a fan of the "instantly get someone to aggressive grab and the click the porta brig to plop em in" that has always existed with it, it's kinda eh. At least with a progress bar, you get a bit more indication what's about to happen.
