Not to mention NO other SS13 server has a different color scheme to security, even servers like Colonial Marines keep the Security Officers as red (as military police).
Its a change for the sake of it, and people wanting to keep the color red should NOT be required to give a reasoning to keep the change, people wanting to change the color to grey should be giving very good reasons as to why they want so.
95% of the changes pushed through coderbus are for the sake of it. Keeping Security red "for the sake" of keeping the established color scheme, the change was to move away from the boring stale established color scheme.
Which is why coderbus is hated so much.
Just because a crappy practice is the status quo isn't a reason to continue with said shitty practice.
And the reasons given in favour of redcurrity are:
-Red has always been their color
-It is a reference to red shirts from Star Trek
-Grey causes confusion with assistants
And the reasons given in favour of keeping greycurrity are:
-???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
So the only reason to keep redcurrity as far as your concerned is a reference to star-trek and because people are too stupid to be able to differentiate? Using the status-quo as a reason to keep the status quo is a pretty huge logical fallacy.
As for reasons for keeping greycurity from what I've personally heard and witnessed being discussed on the server (you know where relevant opinions are expressed by people that actually play the game)
- Superior sprites
- Grey and Red enhances the "Professional" look of the department (Down to personal preference of course but I thought we wanted to go away from Mall-Cop security).
- Lack of department customization is getting really stale especially for security and the change was for some people refreshing.
Beyond that there really isn't much reasoning beyond people simply preferring the new scheme. So what this boils down to is
personal preference on both sides. Not a single argument holds up outside of individual preference. Which is why this should be down to a community vote after a testing period rather than being subject to the opinions of maybe 8 people who all have a grudge against eachother.
