This is not a bad idea, but for every camera feed, you need someone watching it. I don't really see the warden or the HoS constantly monitoring the officers live feed in case of something going wrong. Sec personnel is already busy enough in my opinion.

Thats because most wardens are shitheads who think they're beat cops.
Remove front door brig access but keep armory access so they can't leave their stupid room.

Antag Selection is now made before Job Selection.

https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station/pull/4507

So you can pick security now without worrying about losing antagonist candidacy.

Was the situation before hand that if you selected a protected role, you could never get a antag position, or only the on-station antag roles?

Either way, its fantastic this PR went through. This change should be heavily emphasized in both the Changelog but, if possible, in the 'motd' message when you join the server.

Security being understaffed leave the warden (and the detective) no other choice than actively chasing crime like a regular sec officer.
Other than that yes, warden should not leave the brig.

That's a stupid mindset, honestly. Warden should loot everything to make brig better, chems for implants, recruits to help him out, tables for barricades, whatever.

Point is, warden not sitting in brig whole day is totally fine.

The difference is what the warden is actually doing outside the brig. Is he rushing off to make arrests or is he making use of the non-egun gear in the armory? I've never once seen a warden do anything like take the chem implants to chemistry for filling, take helmets to robotics for beepsky/ed construction/take a shotgun to R&D in blob (every time its been a cargo tech that brings the shotgun if it ever happens because the warden's busy lasering blob.) The warden should be the brig administrator in the active times and the armory quartermaster when its needed. Everything else is the job of an active SO. Exceptions for low pop (active arrest detective and warden) make sense because they're the only ones around, but exceptions are exactly what they are.

1 flasher in armory
1 flasher in hall before perma
1 flasher in security break room behind chair
Security barricade in front of door.

Shotgun to R&D
Pen and Paper on table with crime&punishment list prewritten
Make sure officers locked their lockers

Cargo Order
3 remote signalling devices
3 wirecutters
3 proximity sensors
3 rods
2 cable coils

crates
Security clothes crate
Disablers crate
spare flash bulbs

Robotics Order
3 cyborg arms
3 power cells

Chem Implant Order
150 units of tricord
25 units of dexalin+
50 units of synaptizine
25 units of hyperzine

There's my powergaming list of things I try to get for the brig when I'm warden before some asshole mistakes me for the HoS and demands I get down to the kitchen to arrest an assistant. It's enough chems to fill the implants each with 30 units of tricord, 5 units of dexalin, 10 units of Synap, and 5 units of hyperzine which will do some good if they're ever in trouble. It's the parts required to make 3 securitrons using stunprods as the batons, and it's a general list of things I should do if possible just to be a good human being to everyone else on station.

Haven't gotten bwoinked yet for it, but I'm waiting for the day so I can go back to being a voyeur with security cameras.

Extra points to cargo that uses the mailing system or a mulebot, and I'll swipe a disabler or taser crate for them if they also take my order from robotics and/or chemistry to me through either system.

Yeah, from cargo. I like the idea that cargo should be doing me favors.

And remote signallers are generally really robust if you know how to use them/have a good excuse for when an admin bwoinks you for excessive security-ness.

Also good to note, if you see the people in the brig 'holding each other hostage' to get out by AI law-1 or ANYTHING along those lines, get a pair of wirecutters and snip the AI control for the brig doors. AI can no longer help, them bugging the AI to help them is nothing but wasted air, and we ALL know that they weren't going to kill each other anyways. If they don't try it at least once, it's way too fucking metagamey to do this, but after the first time trying to abuse the AI I usually take that right away from them.

Fixing the AI wires is as easy as sabatoging them, and if those three doors mean the difference between the prisoners escaping and overtaking security and sitting in a nice secure area to rot for another ten minutes, then security is incompetent or left weapons lying around an area that should be clear.

With that said, so many officers fail to LOCK the lockers that hold the perma prisoner's stuff...

Security needs maint and basic departmental access. Science, Medical, Engineering, Cargo Office, Maint, Bridge. Actually, no, probably not Bridge. Either way though, currently most security will line up outside the HoP at round start and ask for more access; If this is happening as a matter of course for a long time it ought to be made official.

As much as I support increased basic departmental access, it would be difficult to get such a change through. It should be a given though imo.

That's not the sole reason for a thing to exist.

It's just his reasoning is not valid.

And don't talk "limiting". Talk "allowing". Allowing promotes security shoving their noses into departments. Plus it's just not required.

See, I can't tell if you're using this as some sort of assumption of agreement on this point or what. The two are only even tangentially related and a fair number of people have voiced opinions in support for each of these ideas. If you're just simply trying to link those both as "I don't like them" that's fine I guess, but making a popular argument doesn't really apply here.

What I mean was that both have quite a few people in support of them, but that doesn't automatically mean that they should be added.

That's all that my post was about. I wasn't actually arguing, I was merely pointing out a flaw in his argument.

If you're worried about security "sticking their nose" in departments, giving them full camera access to every part of the station and every borg on the station is doing just that. You know, just sayin.

Hallways are general access but typically not some where major crimes occur. Non-departmental assigned officers (every officer spawned or assigned after the departmental ones are set or assigned the first time) are kinda stuck in a lurch. They can't respond to calls for backup from those departmental posts because they don't have the same basic access and they can't respond to emergencies inside those departments without AI intervention. This is obviously assuming the AI wasn't rogue in the first place to cause the emergency (borgs attacking sci for example)

That's probably why major crimes happen there in the first place?

I just want to say that whoever made it possible to view/update criminal records through HUDglasses imma find you irl and suck yo dick for real because that is a feature I've been hoping for forever now and god damn it's so fucking useful when it gets used.

Probably my least favorite thing about being an officer has been seeing someone set to wanted, asking multiple times over the radio why that person is set to arrest, getting no responses, and then marching all the way to a sec computer just to find that the guy has no records because the rest of the sec team thinks it's just too much of a pain in the ass to go to put their ID in a computer and write a brief description every time someone commits a crime.

Now if officers bother to make use of the records, even just a little more often than they do now, then this feature should go a long long way towards improving communication and clearing up the aneurysm-inducing confusion of trying to be a halfway decent sec officer during a chaotic round.

Post by Riley » #31925

There's several threads about this, but I think this is the one focusing on mechanical changes? I feel like the policy is more or less fine, but some mechanical changes I'd like to see are:

- Simplify the arrest/SecHUD system.

The recent change had the right idea, but since most wardens seem to never use their consoles to detail crimes, it isn't that effective. You cuff some shitler and filter through a handful of buttons for a reason while they decry your lack of one. I feel like the information should be more front-loaded since many brigging procedures seem to take longer than the prisoner's actual sentence. It might also increase the chances of its being used. To make it easier, I propose this - setting someone to arrest from a console brings up an (optional) prompt to fill in a reason for the warrant. This reason is displayed straight-up whenever someone is examined through a SecHUD to save officers time. A separate part of the console can be used, similar to the current system, to detail the minutiae of a prisoner's crimes. Setting someone to arrest from the HUD won't ask for a reason in case of emergencies. Similarly, you can go back and edit an existing warrant, in case you filed a blank one thinking an officer was in peril.

- a Priority/Threat system tied to the arrest/SecHUD system

Another option from the console would allow you to set a target's priority or threat level. The square around the 'W' over a wanted person's head would change colour accordingly. A green W would be minor threat, for vandals, thieves, anyone unarmed, etc. - so the officer knows they can reasonably walk up to them, ask for a search, etc. without being robusted. Perhaps less shitcurity and mutesec as a result. A yellow W would be somewhere in the middle, though I'm not sure how to tangibly define that - perhaps needing to be brought to the brig, at a minimum. A red W would indicate that the person is probably armed, dangerous, a confirmed antagonist, and generally ought to not be approached alone. Not setting a threat level would default to green or yellow, I guess.

That last bit sounds a bit more beat cop-ish than it does corporate security, but I'd find it really helpful. I'm not sure if you'd be able to or want to set a threat level via HUDs though.

What do you think about a command line based record editing? For example:

status -set "Greytide #01" arrest
record -mc "Greytide #01" "Major theft" "Slipped the captain in arrivals and stole his ID"
status -reset "Greytide #01" //to reset the wanted status

These can be simpler, I suppose.

Don't need to go clicking around slow loading html interfaces to set someone to arrest, if you know the commands for the Shitcurity OS.

Hey, with a command line kind of interface, it could be extended to the R.O.B.U.S.T cartridge if there's an ID in the PDA with the access. Then the records console would be a convenience for the people who don't know the commands.

Then M.A.G.N.I. goes malf and writes an NTSL script to repeatedly auto-arrest the entire station while pathing all the station securitrons around, replacing all sec records with HONK HONK HONK HONK, medical records with terminal AIDS. Sec huds have everybody showing as the bartender set to arrest, all radio chatter is filtered to re-add them to the arrest record while also stating their current area location. Gasses are flooding in the vents, doors opening and closing at random, shocking and bolting. One by one every APC turns blue and equipment power shuts down. Fires are burning. Delta timer counting down. Borgs dragging off the bodies and hunting down more for the autoborger. The clown throws a banana peel and slips the warden.


I forgot where I was going with this.
You forgot the part where somebody telesci bombs the AI anyway.

AI relocated to mining asteroid or DJ satellite, opinion invalid.

A crew that lets either (and especially the last) happen have bigger robustness issues than being able to telebomb accurately or manage telecomms. Just sayin.

It's not nearly as hard as it might seem to get the AI to the mining asteroid or the DJ satellite. The only thing the DJ satellite requires is telescience being set up but not actively manned for around one minute and knowledge of coordinates.

And knowledge of offsets which the AI cannot have unless told by somebody who knows them. You'd literally have to convince the telesci tech to give you the current offsets and then murder them almost instantly without anyone knowing. And then you'd have to hope telesci is upgraded to 50 power. DJ station is a pretty tall order. Mining station requires you have sufficient power, offsets, nobody watching telesci/the mining outpost OR literally nobody watching about 1/4 of the station including the mining dock. I've seen the mining dock hideaway work, but your odds of getting telesci to help you out are just about as good as it helping you with a bomb to the core

Can be done with a borg, did it during my last AI round to pull a guy out of space while it was sort of quiet.
I'm not exactly sure how the borg saw his own coordinates but whatever.

Well you could drag GPS onto the pad with a borg, then try and teleport it in such a way so it's on cameras then find it and do the math.

No, we went from Security to NTSL to AI to Telescience and then back to AI.
