[Page for Gateway?]

 I know that dotted around the wiki is information concerning gateway, as relevant to each topic (SOP, contraband, etc) but it would be nice to have a page that consolidates all gateway information in one place, as well as filling out more regulations on gateway. The pamphlet does not quite fill out as much as I would hope, though it does give a NT reason for gateway, as a colonization project, but there are really no materials to actually proceed with such a project.

The only real info on gateway I know of right now is that gateway requires captain authorization, can have excursions on green, not recommended on blue, except rescues, and prohibited on red, except rescues, with all prohibited on gamma. Then that contraband from gateway is still subject to space law, but that it is also incredibly hard to police gateway, especially when antags rear their heads.

Any other suggestions and thoughts would be nice.

- Botanists.
 ~Ignoring the chef, making no food items and instead mass producing weed or death nettles.

 

 ~People who throw all job integrity out the window to let their friends or "kin" into high security areas just because they are the same species or their characters have an in game relationship. (Slimes, Vox, Humans, Vulps. Usually the Captain with their Civilian buddies.)

 

 ~Breaks into Genetics to get the small gene, or becomes a Geneticist purely to find the small gene, then goes off to greytide all shift.
 

 

- People who break into the Gateway at the very start of the shift rather than rush to the HoP office to get one of the (usual) three explorer jobs.
 ~Causes unnecessary Detective work and also wastes Security's time while they search for the idiot.
 ~Usually ends up electrifying the door so those who try to get in legitimately get shocked when they try to enter.
 ~Can easily get access but decides to break in anyway because they can't be bothered to actually interact with another player.

- Expanding on the last point: People who break into the Gateway while it's bolted and depowered.
 ~Usually, this is during a Quarantine or Red Alert, which both state that Gateway Excursions are not allowed.
 ~This also, usually, results in calls for the AI to be destroyed for being a "Useless piece of junk" for following Standard Operating Procedures and/or their lawset.
 ~Also causes unnecessary Security/Detective work during a situation which requires them to focus on other issues, such as whatever is causing the Quarantine/Red Alert.
 ~Why the hell would you break into a bolted and depowered Gateway after being told there's Terror Spiders on the other side?

Also these. one reminds me of my pet peeve of meta-friends.

When you are a clown and people completely ignore you when trying to be legitimately fun: "Everybody come watch my performance at the bar!", "Can I borrow the hand tele for a escapism number?", "Need eggs, a burned mess and access to your grinder", "I require space lube", "Use these genuinely red shoes that aren't dyed clown shoes, they are wonderful!", "Everybody gather at escape, grab a tomato and wait for me around the chair for especial fun!", "You cannot arrest me for the consequences of my prank!", etc...

When I am HoP, I DO enjoy a genuinely funny clown. So many just screw it up though, and go for tired old gags, that are just meant to stir shit instead of being funny. I need to regulate clowns, it is my job.

As HoP, early on I wanted to make a stargate style crew to explore gateway, get mission reports and stuff from, and have fun RP with it.

It does not end up that way. Either people don't care about getting access, because "I have other stuff to grab and prepare in the seven minutes before gateway turns on" and doesn't even care to get access from me, or they play along to get gateway and EVA access, and then I never hear from them again, until late game I see them walking around with their "sick loot"

My biggest pet peeve is the powergamers.

besides that, is the people who come to my lineup to ask to change to another job, and are shocked that they require the authorization of the appropriate head, or things along that line, as if I'm supposed to "just do it". Or the people who ask for more access to other jobs so they can "just do them, it faster"

I would like there to be more clear regulations regarding tons of dipshits showing up on bridge with the captain's ID from the prestige deal, and stupid people going along with it, as well as some kind of safety for AI, as being jammed full of laws that say "<this guy> is the captain, there is no other captain than <this guy>" it's a mess.
