/tg/Station 13

Print them out and pin them all over the station; what do you think?

Security newscasters can already do Wanted issues, but they don't do much. If you could actually print them out and put them up on walls like normal posters, that'd be good. Bonus points if you can attach a photo from the Security records and a list of crimes.

i think most security departments don't have the time to do anything of the kind but that it wouldn't be a bad feature.

tie it into the cyborg printing system and maybe you could have secborgs do most of the work or something though.

then again nohandslol so can't stick to walls

but anyway, cool but impractical IMO

Would be a neat feature.

Shit doesn't have to be practical when it's 100% optional.

might work better as a console that actually displays pictures on it's sprite, if such a thing is possible, with more information available via click

WANTED: NAME
FOR CRIME
REWARD:

or something. not sure if doable, though

This is a beautiful idea. Make a giant wall with mugshots of liggers to trick the crew into a race war.

Security can't really give real rewards outside of implanting and arming crew unless there is a currency system.

Just make newscasters cycle the photos of all currently set to wanted. It requires no effort on the part of sec with the same resoults.

Yeah, what you need is a mugshot and the 'w' symbol. That would be pretty cool.

Did the warden ever get his security newcaster back?

You could issue Wanted posters from any newscaster before if you had sec access. I remember doing it as a HoP from office.

Hop news caster is a special sec version

Those shitty wanted news caster things that people don't look at aren't the same as having an actual WANTED poster, that you can add photos to, and stick on the walls.

Also the invariable shinanigans of adding photos of shit like ian, the disk etc.

You had to add photos in the olden newscaster wanted poster if I recall correctly.

yes but you can't print out posters and stick them on the walls where people will actually see them.

Newscaster in every office when?

Actually I think you could print out Wanted poster like a newspaper, just not stick on wall. Then again I'm only remembering things, when I ahelped not that long ago asking what happened to this feature the answer was "uuhhh dunno".

---edit

Right, you still can publish Wanted issues, I wasn't sure why I couldn't before.

Let them be posters I mean come it is security, they can be trusted with a few wall fittings.

Well first, the lifetime of normal posters can be pretty low, people rip them down all the time. Second, we're in space, and we have newscasters already. Make them better at it and use them.

That's like saying pda chatrooms are useful.
99% of the crew don't use, or have any reason to use newscasters.

People see posters on walls no matter what. People them ripping them down is completely irrelevent.

This is a 100% fluff change that has no practical gameplay changes. Dunno why there is even a discussion about it.

Well why not have both then.

You could even have wanted posters show up on the big glass panels that normally show Moon-reference smiley faces and shuttle ETA times.
