Change to loyalty implants

[Slignerd]

So, you know good old loyalty implants. Mass-distributed during a gang or rev round, meant to protect the crew from conversion. Except there are moments when using them doesn't mean that the crew is always "loyal" - and no one should really expect absolute unconditional obedience coming from that. I remember one admin saying that they hold no roleplay value, either - so what's the point of a "surge of loyalty towards Nanotrasen", if it just doesn't work that way, as evidenced by implanting any other antag types, such as traitors, or any of the crewmembers unwilling to cooperate - where it just doesn't change a thing?

I'd suggest to change it to mindshield implants, to make it far more obvious. Just replace all instances of 'loyalty implants' with 'mindshield implants', "surge of loyalty towards Nanotrasen" with "Your mind suddenly feels strong and resistant." and "Nanotrasen's grip on your mind fading away" upon implant removal with "Your mind feels weak and fragile.". It would make it far more accurate for any situation where you can't just expect complete loyalty from someone just because you put an implant in them. It's semantics, but I just feel it would suit better with the actual gameplay.

The point is Nanotrasen is brainwashing you

I still think renaming them to Mindshield Implants is a good idea.

Well good news.

Wait nevermind that's an old closed PR.

okay, but keep loyalty implants for RP reasons. I'm crazy, I know

[TechnoAlchemist]

they don't make you loyal they just prevent brainwashing, hence why traitors can still do traitor things while being implanted ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ah, I know I heard the idea before, so I was surprised to see it never made it in earlier. Why wasn't it merged?

No maintainers approved or denied the PR after a month so I took the hint and closed it.

If someone else were to make the PR today I'd merge it though.
