Security - The Thread

[Tombi]

The grenade launcher stuff does sound pretty awesome.

One of the biggest problems I find playing security is trying to pin down an antags location. So what about if we could have some kind of cameradrone (sorta like a flasher in that they would be portable and you wrench them down) but when they detect a person set to arrest it pings security pdas saying "Ursit McCriminal was spotted at Medbay Maintainence by cameradrone1!". Not entirely sure but this might be an annoying way to spam security pdas...

Right now you can ask the AI to give you updates. I've suggested a waypoint system where the AI can tag the person and you get something that directs you to them whenever they are on AI cameras. 

I haven't used it too much, but I know there is a machine that gives you info for when ID cards are used to open doors. Can't remember if you can set that to track a specific person and only get updates for when they use doors, but that could also help. Getting info and putting it to a practical use really helps security, so more upgrades along that line would help out. I think if the Sec area had some kind of command center that more or less gave you AI level tracking but required someone to stay there, that could be interesting. An Oracle to the HoS' Batman.

A minor thing I'd like: Add the siren functionality to the regular Sec helmets. I like going weewoo when in pursuit mode, but the regular siren helmet is ugly. 

Also, adding a UI button for the whistle could help. I'd love to use that thing as means of saying "Hey, everyone shut up and stop moving for a second." But it's a pain to get it out in hand.

Alternatively, give us a bullhorn for shouting down people

I tend to be reluctant in asking the ai to directly intervene because in my experience trying to always lookout for some person is 1. boring (eventually) 2. disorienting (seriously the camera system sucks). So I was thinking more automated, however, I do like your suggestion for a kind of command hq for security and the ID on doors is also neat. Additionally I like the idea of pda tracking, maybe something similar to how the nuke trackers works but as a file you use from a sec pda? Would make tracking implants more useful.
