Security Passive Panic Button

[John_Oxford]

In order to combat security disadvantages across all of the stations and all of the game modes, i present this solution.

Adds a passive panic button that spawns on all security personnel (Warden, HoS, Detective, Security Officers) at round start (including late joins)

Its a tiny item that spawns in the left pocket. You can keep it separate from the rest of your equipment or you can attach it to either your stun baton or taser. So long as it is in either of the pockets, belt slot, armor slot or equipped onto a item that is in either of these slots, it will give a hotkey in the top left of the screen that you can click. In order to use it you must swipe your ID on the panic button, you can right click it and select "Wipe Memory" to erase the last swiped ID.

You can use it for the first three seconds that you are in critical condition, you can also attach a heath analyzer to it and implant it in your chest, and it will activate when you reach 0 health and -100 health.

Changes the security console set up to. Two of these consoles spawn in the wardens office, one spawns in the armory, one spawns in the HoS's office, One in the gulag, and one near the gulag shuttle.

Condenses prisoner management, security records, security cameras, medical records, and suit sensors into once console, accessible by a drop down menu when you open the console. [In the future offering the ability to have multiple windows open at once]

The console will also have a drop down menu for panic buttons, showing all the current active panic buttons on the map, their locations, stunned state, cords, and if they are activated or not. Activated ones can be reset from this menu.

In order to add functionality to the panic buttons, the console will chime "-swiped id name- has activated their panic button at -location- at -cords- in a -stunned- / -not stunned- state." If there is no ID swiped, it will just be stated as unknown to anyone standing by it if a panic button is activated.

I... like this idea.

[John_Oxford]

i did something wrong then

[Weepo]

What so like a pay-day pager? I could get behind it, Heck even just having security jumpsuits get an extra sensor option to automatically send out a radio message on the sec channel with your location when you're in distress would be fantastic.

[Whoisthere]

How about instead of a button that you press when you fall in crit, there's a button in brig that you have to hit with your ID every 140 seconds or it activates and sounds a horrible siren sound that everyone on the station hears, and shows huge red text OFFICER FIL FILSKY IN DANGER AI TRACK HIM! in the chat.

Sounds like something I suggested. Personally I think there should be a slight gap between activating it and the message actually being sent so quick traitors have time to look for the button and disarm it to enable counterplay.

Honestly sounds a bit like pager for Payday.

It could make a beep like proximity sensors do to alert the traitor that they have one.

Just say over comms you're going into a place and you'll report back in a few minutes

In my experience as Warden, silent sec run off alone, never say a word, and end up in a locker in maint. That's probably where they belong.

If you decide to eschew player interaction despite it being an integral part of the game then getting fucked up in a dark maintenance tunnel without hope for any backup is totally on you.

"IM CHASING [insert character] DOWN ENGI MAIN- NEVERMIND THEY GOT AWAY WHILE I WAS RADIOING YOU"
or
Pushes and pockets button and begins chase "OFFICER BLANK HAS ACTIVATED THEIR DISTRESS BEACON IN ENGINEERING MAINTENANCE"

I mean shit, they could even be used by traitors to control SEC movement if you looted one from a sec corpse or stole one.

I've never asked officers under my care to write novels in hot pursuit but you'd be a fool not to say at least ":s Checking medbay maint." or some other basic positional information.

[DemonFiren]

If they got their sensors on and can manage to :s a single word like "FUCK" as a Warden I generally go out of my way to get them backup.
Is to say I'll tell the grunts to get the fuck out of my brig a little more loudly than usual.
