Ok, since security is almost always complained about being ineffictiant, stupid,  ect, I have decided come up with a few ideas to make security better.

1. Weapon Scanner. Found in the forensics room, it detects what weapon caused the damage. If it was hands, it will tell you the fingerprint(Since I believe finger print scanners dont detect strangulation).

I mean, this is the future, so obviously there will be ways to tell what kind of object caused what kind of damage. While not very usefull if it says "toolbox", it will be usefull if it says "revolver", or ect. If you find a bloody toolbox and study the print, you can find out who killed who.

2. Flashbangs that dont blind, and sunglasses that work. Ok, so we all know flashbangs are bad, since they ruin people's gameplay by blinding them and making them death(if someone could tell me how to spell that correctly...). Also, sunglasses dont help at all, from what ive seen(They may slow the blinding process). When you throw a flashbang, your likely to be stunned also, and since your a security officer, you will slowly go blind. Earmuffs cause more damage than good, since you cant hear anyone. All im suggesting is that flashbangs dont cause blindness, and dont stun when sunglasses are on. If your within two tiles of the flashbang, you go temporarally death(like 30 seconds). If your within 1 tile of the flashbang, you go temporarally blind(like 10 seconds).

3. Bomb removal equipment. I know, its from goon, but occationally there is a bomb situation in which the traitor has you. What if he has a suicide vest? There isnt much you can do, but watch him blow up something. There is the suicide command, and its gets risky. Bomb removal equipment protect damage from 500 degree bombs, and you survive really big bombs(you can figure out the limit). While in the equipment, you move half speed.

4. Faster Prison Shuttle. Kind of obvious, but games are too short to store someone on the prison station. It also takes too long to free them. Should be reduced down to like 1 minute, or 30 seconds, to keep the game going.

1. Awesome idea

2. Yeah sunglasses should block the flash part of a flash bang, but they don't. (it's spelled "deaf") Advanced earmuffs that block out noise of a certain "loudness" (for lack of a better word). We need more things for ears, so far it's only earmuffs but no one used them.

3. No, then you have people wearing said equipment running around with a bomb that could detonate at any time and they don't have to worry. You just need to extend the length it takes to commit suicide. Make it 30 seconds or something. Enough time for someone to take the armor off you.

4. I want to try that prison mode, where 1 person snuck in a screw driver and they all try to escape.

Idea for ear equipment: Ear plug speaker, hard to detect and only you can hear it, useful for listening in on conversations when used with intercoms.

[Micro102]

Suicide vests bugged, had a heated and welded bomb, but when I died by AI's turrets, the vest disappeared. Wasn't wearing it and it wasn't on the floor.

BYOND Central is not accessible.

[Sukasa]

It's fine here.

Micro: The vest is really easy to quickly detonate, by typing suicide, hitting yes, then typing succumb.  Instant BOOM.  I'll still look it it not actually exploding though.

[Orb]

"At Micro"

Bomb removal equipment wearing will make you extremely slow..."oh hey, I have a bomb, and no one is going to stun me, and I can run away, weee!"

In reality, if they place a bomb, they wont have a space suit, they will be on a space tile, and will die due to coldness, end of story. Or ect.

Really, any item in the game can be exploited, this is just one of them.

Easy bomb making equipment in the plasma researcher lab? Oh NOEZ! Everyone will blow up the station with bombs!

I mused about a possibility of an engine maintainence suit that would basically be a wearable tank, but be really slow. If it were especially resistant to bombs, then it would give traitors even more of a reason to infiltrate engineering. A practical idea would be to make it unpushable and immune to airflow, with it's only weakness being a full toolbox and then some other stuff on top of that.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If heat travelled better, then a lightweight heat resistant suit would be useful. Nothing fireproof, but would protect you from extreme heat better than nothing, though worse than a real firesuit.

Also, have a single engine maintainence armor set that is immune to temperature extremes entirely, is basically power armour made of an inch of solid steel, and has a battery that is depleted when it is actively protecting it's occupant from heat or moving. It sould be possible to move in unpowered, though incredibly slowly, and even unpowered should hold off high (or low) temperatures for a few minutes even without power. It should be immune to all forms of damage, but travel very slowly(1 tile per second powered, 10 seconds per tile unpowered) and have it's own air system from a tank holder that can only be accessed when unoccupied. It should be worn by stepping onto it. A user should not be able to carry aything, have a suit on, wear a mask, or have anything on their back, and must be free to use both hands, to utilize it, as it replaces internals and mask and has it's own back slot. Exiting should cause it to drop anything it was carrying. To exit, the user should click on it's icon, that should appear in the suit slot. A user unable to wear it should be unable to walk over it. Zombies and monkies should be unable to use it, or better, a /mob has a /var to indicate if they may use it, and certain diseases and races disable it by default. That way, an admin can override the ability/inability to use it. Or maybe 1=yes, 0=no, -1=default, and it is -1 unless set by admin efforts.

It should be unable to use certain objects that require fine manipulation, including firing guns, using injectors, and manipulating tools.

It should only restore energy at docking stations, and in the engine area when sight of an active remote charging node, initially only lining the engine. What else... Maybe the use of a multitool may access advanced settings such as the ability to lock it so that nobody gets in or out, and the ability to disable sets of limbs, allowing for it's use as a portable prison for desperate captains, and a traitor with a cloaker and a multitool can use it to "capture" an engineer. It should block radio signals, but have a built-in(disableable) headset. IT should block all sound unless it's audio systems are on. It should have built-in meson scanning mode that drains power, and is also disableable.

If it takes damage to a system, you must disable the system and then apply the right type of component to fix it.

Maybe it should have the damage immunity of IT, but be limited in the damage it can do because it is too bulky. Maybe it can be rewired to overdrive the motors and become hulk-strong, but with each action have a chance to blow a random system that must be repaired.

It could possibly have a set of powertools built in.

Or just make a better firesuit, hands down. It currently can only really handle the smallest of blazes.

[blueothello]

Hey can we get a mod? Owlaton is griefing(plus more people) and normal talking isn't showing up.

[quinnr]

Coming..

[MagmaDeath]

The normal talk bug was strange.
Radio chat could be heard, monkeyed people could be heard, And I'm not sure about revived people, as micro forced a reboot with change game mode.

[quinnr]

The vote glitched too. I had to reboot the server.

[Sixteen]

About Owl, he played a while ago when I was admin on the other goon server. He also griefed, but by bombs and "dwarf" bombs made in sandbox by stacking canisters on a single square.

[MagmaDeath]

And crash?

[quinnr]

Crash...I monkified everyone so they could talk...but it crashed shortly after.

We have major bugs, nobody can talk at all. Revert whatever changes you did.
