Different lightning color ambience in different departments. For example different color temperatures, Medbay having high color temp (blueish and very bright) and maint tunnels having very low (reddish and dark), Singularity glowing purple light and Gravity Generator glowing green light etc.

And higher quality ambient sounds, distinctive to different departments as well.

I'd like to try this out for a little while and see what it does for the gameplay.

Also: glass should block hearing
while wearing gasmask your voice should be something like "Hhhgrello blgfwherhe is hrflcapgrain?"

Salary gets transfered on your account every hour or so. Your Credit Card is your ID.
The amount of your salary is set by default and linked to your job. Lowest wage is assistant, highest is the Captain.
The HoP and the Captain can change the crew's salaries.

You'll have to pay for the items in the vending machines, except if the machine is hacked, or code red is in effect (Easier to fight the blobs)

On a more serious note, there should be some incentive for Security actually prosecuting and holding trial, rather than searching someone's bag and mumbling "Mmm yeah perma". I think properly done trials can be really fun, especially as roles relevant to them, such as the Detective or Lawyer (The latter of which has a good chance of being shafted all round because most HoS' don't want to waste time - They have quotas to meet.)

There's no ambiguity or doubt on who committed the crime nor is Security held to a Government/Corporation standard to hold criminal or civil trials. One can make the assumption that a trial is held for the suspect once they reach central command. When someone is arrested they are either thrown in jail or released.

In addition, the amount of time effort it takes to hold a trial means a standard trial for one person can take up to half an hour or so. Maybe if there was a set trial procedure in place to streamline it then trials might be more attractive, since right now its all made up on the spot, usually by the Captain. Not to mention that for every Security Officer or the Head of Security that is preoccupied with the trial, that's less boots on the ground keeping things secure. In almost every trial I've ever been a apart of a antagonist has done something very bad while most of Security was preoccupied with the trial.

This would be great, give it to heads for announcements (and a robotic voice filter for the AI player). *DING DONG* Attention, everyone, this is your Captain speaking. The word "Comdom" is now a punishable offense. That is all. *DING DONG*.

Or non-english players, like me.

Very valid points. I think if someone actually took time to write court procedures and a set of scenarios wherein it is appropriate to hold trial, something could come of it. But yes, it is true that the only processing a prisoner can realistically get is a sentencing from the Warden/HoS/Officer bringing them in due to the presence of multiple threats to the station operating at once.
I can't help but feel bad for the people who play Lawyer, considering they can't do their job the vast majority of the time.
