  1. Suppose i can pipe in with some stuff.

    - HoS' who take the detective's scanner for no good reason (such as the detective being dead, unavailable, unresponsive, actual life threatening hurry)

    - HoS' who take the pod's spare key and take the thing out for a spin without contacting the pod pilot first.

    Basically, if you absolutely don't have to do something, please, let your workers do it, let them enjoy their work too.

     

  2. I think the reason for this is that you're just opening the airlocks without cycling them, the airflow pushes you around. I'd recommend cycling the airlocks, this is a feature that prevents stuff you described from happening and deletes the reason why the magboots would be neccessary.

    An issue here is that IAA players can come in many unhelpful flavours - sometimes there'll be IAAs who think it's their job to be "Greytide+", or they think it's their God-given duty to take security down a peg - even if that involves looking for excuses to fire officers who are trying their best. To make things worse, I find the sec department's structure tends to result in a bottleneck, as the HoS is often required to approve and handle demotions even when he or she is already swamped by dozens of other tasks. I've said it before, but IC-demotions tend to be exceedingly time-consuming, although they do have some reward in the long run. I find that demoted officers would rather go play hide-and-seek and start going full shitcurity than accept a demotion peacefully, and it's often up to 20 minutes of waiting in the HoP line while the captain, warden, AI, IAAs and magistrate all get angry that the HoS is not attending to their demands at the same time.

    All of this is pretty much true. There is a problem in the role of HoS, in that while every head is expected to of course manage their department, the HoS is supposed to be managing the most hectic and chaotic department, and often expected to do a good job while at it. You have to worry about the big picture of how the station is doing, you have to manage your officers and see what they're up to and also deal with possible demotions and roboticists pining for beepsky parts and people asking to be transferred. Tasks may be delegated to the warden to help lift off the burden, but sometimes the warden could also be busy jailing people/keeping peace in the brig. If they are not, stuff like demotions and misc. requests by the crew should probably be directed to them. This bottleneck and its design could be reworked, but that needs a good solution.

    And yeah, fired officers OFTEN are the kind who do not really take kindly to being demoted. They make it their task to try and see for how long they can cause sec annoyance before they're actually caught. This stuff can cross the line of admin attention, so, this is one more thing to be ahelped.

  4. Heard someone say "sayyyyy whaaaaaattt" and figured i'd shorten it and use it as an username. The 15th part, which i kinda regret, is because the account was made in 2015. And because i had been watching doctor who and there were the "Xth Doctors", sounded neat at the time.

  5. Sec aviators would be awesome. And perhaps a red campaign hat, some police departments/law enforcement agencies use those if recall correctly.
