Replace Sec Gulag With Off-Station Perma
As of right now, the Security Gulag is so worthless in keeping prisoners contained that it's a joke. I don't know how but it seems prisoners that get sent to the Gulag can end up back on the station as they somehow snuck over to the other side of the lava lake.
One idea I had is to replace the sec gulag with a off-station prison. Either a copy of the old Prison Station or revisiting one of my older ideas of sticking prisoners into abandoned asteroid base where they have to scavenge for food and supplies amongst a long abandoned mining base, infested with Hivebots.
Either way I think the Gulag needs a replacement to be far more secure than it is now.

It takes less than 5 minutes to break out of the gulag, it needs to be fixed by /something/.

Re: Replace Sec Gulag With Off-Station Perma
How about a Remote Administration (and) Prisoner Education console? An advanced camera console that really bored Wardens can use to watch and remotely pester gulag inmates? If a few manage to cross the lava and avoid any monsters, you will know about it, but still cannot do much except sending the securitron after them!

1.) do it for the sake of being the harshest punishment they can give
2.) don't know how long it takes to mine on the gulag
you have no mining scanner, and you have nothing but a pickaxe to mine with. i can understand the pickaxe-only part, but having no mining scanner is just dumb. even one of those free golem scanners that you have to manually activate would suffice, for the sake of making it slightly less painstakingly and mind-numbingly tedious.
people don't realize that even something as small as a 75 point sentence takes a good 5 or 10 minutes to do. and with the space law wiki page saying some dumb thing like "2 minutes in brig OR 200 points in gulag" it makes people underestimate how moronic the (((GULAG))) actually is. a 500 point sentence can take well up to 30 minutes.

Re: Replace Sec Gulag With Off-Station Perma
Would anyone be interested in my revisiting my old idea of a asteroid prison. Essentially its one big asteroid that is a combination of a modern/fancy looking prisioner processing area, a large abandonded mining base, and a large series of empty mining shafts filled with crap loot and hivebots/xenos.
Otherwise I'll just make the lava lakes wider.

Re: Replace Sec Gulag With Off-Station Perma
I don't initially now see the problem of a prison station right now, it'd sort of remind me of the super-prison from face off, teleport them using a tele-perma straight into a cell, if they riot or otherwise kill each other, the AI's going to bother you, but they will be a few space z levels away from hitting the station, its probably best to save a genetic backup of them incase they die.

Just put in a tracking implant so the warden can talk to them individually too, not super stoked for it to be a asteroid since stone is fragile, but a solar powered setup with some gas miners for self sustainability would be fine. If you lose control of the prison station, they could probably hack the computer using a multi-tool on the board to get back to the station via security dock.

Re: Replace Sec Gulag With Off-Station Perma
I don't see the issue, if I want someone gone forever its very viable to execute them, debrain them, and then toss the brain in a forgotton corner forever.
At least with a Asteroid base it gives them something to do if they chose so, in addition they can still ghost at any time.
I likely won't propose a asteroid prison however, I will likely just expand the lava lake on Lavaland.

Or borg them/freeze them in ice.
Perhaps the prison station should have multiple cameraless killing/torture rooms for every kind of execution and punishment imaginable, Guantanamo Baystation.
Oh, and rock falls apart and causes atmos problems is why it shouldn't be externally layered explicitly with asteroid, look at how over the top & unsecure cerestation is where you can run rings around the AI sat by hollowing out a path then backdoor off cams into vital areas, its not actually that secure. And something like 4 layers of reinforced walls is dumb as heck.

Its akin to herding a bunch of monkeys. Sometimes a monkey is smarter than the rest but that's unlikely.

Re: Replace Sec Gulag With Off-Station Perma
Really the only things to organise are the sec bots, if we were higher RP we might have gotten away with sending people out on RP rotational patrol shifts but otherwise officers spend all their time standing around in brig or running all over the place. Occasionally they stop at the bar or at the brig, but usually its between one crisis zone to another or endless patrolling.
Fast communication with where officers are is metabreaking but also nessecary.
Counter suggestion, give security sec-walkie talkies that only speak into the security channel, a way to fast enable both functions on a walkie talkie without cutting wires/using modular triggers etc (alt click for fast toggle?), and allow that sec walkie talkie to attach onto the security jumpsuit. (though not strictly nessecary if its in your pocket but some sort of attachment would be cool and fast)
Alternatively you could put a sec radio in the officers PDA.

Re: Replace Sec Gulag With Off-Station Perma
Given the history of its namesake, I thought the Gulag being escapable with some miner assistance/creativity is a feature, not a bug.
Having been gulagged a few times, the main issue seems to be that half the time sec doesn't even bother setting points for release properly, or if they do it's the maximum, and if you return half the time they'll try to execute you anyway. (I usually was actually a traitor those times, but still)
