Why do I have so much fun playing as a completely inept Sec? Not "I don't get it" inept, more "I'd help, but.....donuts" inept. Quite a few times yesterday I would flash/handcuff the dude who was clearly(from an OOC view) chasing/attacking the original offender. Criminal runs away while I grill the innocent party what happened. It's way more fun than it should be.

*4 nuke ops bust in through a window, training their guns on the officer loitering nearby* Officer McRedbeat says, "Oh wow, I didn't know they brought back TURDS" *gets shot into swiss cheese* Officer McRedbeat whispers, "Just like the old days..." Officer McRedbeat siezes up and falls limp, her eyes dead and lifeless.

That's exactly how I play sec, put all my weapons in a locker and lock it up then load up my backpack with donuts, coffee and cigarettes and ask the HoP to remove my security access. Then I walk around chain smoking with coffee in one hand and a donut in the other and yell at people for minor offenses while totally ignoring serious problems. It always ends with some traitor murdering me and for their trouble they get a useless ID and all my snacks. Owned, bitch.

Stripping even the stun weapons from normal sec officers would help immensely. Make them have to go beg the HoP/Captain for the ability to pull out weapons.

The best security ignores the changeling to cite the station personnel for building improvised flamethrowers. While on fire.

Can the Wifi Component from MechComp send messages to players? I was trying to link a trip wire to a Wifi Component as a sort of silent alarm. The Wifi Comp was sending out the signals just fine according to my Packet Sniffer, but they weren't actually reaching anyone. Tried sending the message as a text message to PDAs and as a radio signal over various frequencies, but it never arrived.

Grab that and the baseball bat laying nearby and you're good to go as a lovely imitation cop.

Hey, as a suggestion, maybe set it so when the shuttle is automatically called because nearly everyone's dead, it can't be sent back, so that the round can't be held hostage for two hours by just one or two turbonerds.

But how will they ever solo the nonexistent good ending of the solarium if you keep calling the shuttle?

If you couldn't recall the shuttle if the autocall was due to 'crew deaths', you'd end up with equally annoying nonsense on lowpop where one player can suicide to force a round restart if they didn't get antag/artifact spawns were bad/other pettiness.

There's also the case where someone is cloned, which doesn't stop the counter even though technically nobody died. Some way of having ghosts weigh in on shuttle-calling would be welcome in that case.

Maybe just check the ratio of living players to ghosts of previously-alive players and set a sensible threshold past which shuttle recall is impossible.

alternatively don't gently caress a bunch of poo poo up by arbitrarily making the shuttle impossible to recall when ghosts become antsy and instead leave things the way they have been for over a decade

Or just leave it up to the coders to decide what's a good threshold and make tweaks as necessary? I've definitely seen complaints around before of depopulated stations becoming ghost towns because the shuttle couldn't be called due to traitorous rampage. I'm sure some contingency could be coded in to deal with lowpop rounds to prevent a single death from causing the round to end. Rendering a whole server basically unusable for hours because a turbonerd wants to rampage and camp the shuttle does not, a fun SS13, make.
