Lurapa Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Hello all, Suggestion: Provide the Magistrate with his own Stamp. Reason: A good Magistrate is someone that dabbles in the realm of Bureaucracy a lot. All of their forms either require their signature, a stamp, or both. The Magistrate performs paperwork on the level of a Captain - the Captain has their own stamp. A stamp is the second line of defense, and authentication to fake paperwork. The stamp holds the same authority as an IAA; whereas the Magistrate's signature holds authority over enforcing Space Law. There are three stamps in-game that are used in the Magistrate's paperwork, two in IAA and one in the Magistrate's office. Optionally there could just be a change to the IAA's stamp, and the Magistrate keeps the law stamp. I am not fussed, and it's not that big of a deal, but, it's a quality of life thing I'd really appreciate - and i'm sure other Magistrate would as well.

Purpose2 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Magistrate has The Justice Department stamp, already. He is the head of The Justice Department aboard. Coroner stamp on the other hand.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurapa Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 My gripe is that the Chief Engineer; Chief Medical Officer; Head of Security; Head of Personnel, and Captain all have their own personal stamp that creates their own personal logo at the bottom of a piece of paperwork. The Magistrate DOES have a stamp to use, ergo the Justice Department Stamp - but, it's also used by IAA and Lawyers. And produces the, 'Department of Justice' logo at the bottom, rather than 'Magistrate' or, 'Head of Department of Justice'. It's a small gripe, and I can understand if its a waste of resources and manpower to approve and add into the game... BUT - it would be a neat quality of play, addition. sidenote: Coroner should get a stamp, yeah. Anything that requires the occasional bureaucracy should get a stamp. (Although, I feel like signatures cover a lot of the bases since there is no Chameleon Pen, that copies signatures) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malphystoh Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I can totally see modifying the stamps in the respective offices in that the IAA stamps include Internal Affairs at the bottom of the stamp image, and Magistrate at the bottom of the Mag's. Seems like a simple image fix to give the justice dep stamps some more individuality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovaniph Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I believe this is a cool idea if someone is willing to make the image for it. This won't make the power of the magistrate any more or less effective. The Justice Department has a lot of power of being able to explain the situation to central command about what is going on at the station with just the stamp they currently have right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumiluntti Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 While signatures are THE way to prove it's actually your paper, a fancy-pansy stamp would be great, if not for usefulness, for the feeling of importance. A paper covered in magistrate stamps that says you are sectenced to attend to the clown's ballet show for being mean? fuck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
