I get it, perma prison roles are supposed to be for RP or lounging around or for testing mechanics in the limited functionality of perma-wing, rather than being an excuse to be a dick or killing sec.
But imagine if they had a very low chance of rolling changeling at roundstart.

I think it could create some quite scary situations. The perma prisoners have no radios. No way out. Does the 'ling go quiet and sneakily absorb anyone unlucky enough to be trapped inside with it, or does it try and escape through space or through armb-blading its way through security. Or does it lure in security using others as bloody bait?

I just think this could create a real 'The Thing' vibe - especially with the limited space and limited tools available.

But, couldn't a ling just get into perma if they wanted to try this? If it was a feature I think it'd get stale pretty fast even with a low chance.

Ling escaping perma is trivial so probably best to just leave it for RP/dicking around/testing stuff

perma prisoners don't get antag so security doesn't murder them at the start of the round in case they're an antag.

they have zero ic protections otherwise.

Except now that they don't get antag they're routinely freed by security to go fight antags. They've become supremely trustworthy, which is very weird for literal perma prisoners.

because if they get anything remotely antagonistic then people will become prisoners just to start riots and try to escape every shift and the coders dont want that type of perma gameplay

Simple solution is to not allow security to draft prisoners like that as perfect valid hunters

just let prisoners be antags like every other role
