Also, how'd you set a custom Miranda verb? Sounds really useful.
Flash bangs are good because they go over tables and people don't usually expect them.

Pick up sunglasses in sec, then look around for earmuffs. Swap those on and you can just trigger the flashbang, dash straight into the fight and knock down everyone in the area.

		I just pull the pin and run out of the room. Then I run back in and stun everyone on the floor and if I'm a clown when this happens I steal their shoes.

		They're another great thing to use against people with OP combos since nobody uses earplugs. Could possibly down them long enough to get em' into the portabrig.
They do excel in crowd control for the aforementioned reasons.

		They're also excellent for breaking up fights, since most people's reaction to a flashbang will be to run away from it rather than keep attacking. I particularly like them for the shuttle and for when people are running around the brig, hiding behind tables so you can't just taze them.
To set your Miranda statement, go under Commands and pick Set Miranda Rights.

its a command right next to say miranda rights on the command list, something like "set custom miranda rights"

The same goes for a game of Russian Roulette.  It's fun.

		A good tip I've found is just ditch the helmet. You look like a Goober with it on. The same goes for the armor and should keep it off if you aren't dealing with people with billets eg, detective, people with zipguns.

Fortunately, I have an incredibly stylish and protective beret to wear.

		You are both beautiful! 
But the helmet does look kind of silly.

		I always upgrade to an EVA-type helmet, but save the SEC-lid for securitron construction.
