Content Suggestion Give ISD a keycard printer on US server

[Advil Smith]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Places a keycard printer in ISD commissioner bunks.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
No, not through a content suggestion

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Gives the department most likely to use the printer the printer
Allows ISD to maintain cover while disguised

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Abuse- Commissioners are a pretty trusted role and they are infact above ECAs/OSAs who can also print cards. I trust all of them to use them in a professional way.

Raid target- Site admin has same amount of keycard doors, it has the same amount of coded doors. Also very few ci have tried to use keycard printer as a raid target as it isn't that useful without bio cards.

Being in a spawn room- Site admin has their keycard printer right next to offices, atleast on the USA side I am open to having a whole separate room for it if need be. I won't speak for UK

Taking away from interactions with SA/FCOM- Not really sure how much of an interaction this is, from my experience and others its being told they are busy or sitting in a room waiting 2 minutes for a keycard to print then leaving. Not much interaction of value and it makes sense for isd to have it.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

Hello, I have conveyed to multiple SL that ISD requests a keycard printer, I was told to make this suggestion after discussions. ISD currently relies on dead bodies and Site command to provide them. I have met with multiple ISD and they find site command often aren't around or too busy to help provide keycards. ISD also rarely will find keycards on the ground. We aren't CI and just kill people for them we have to wait for a massive breach to happen to get that chance most of the time.

ISD as I said would use the keycard printer the most, we would like to be given the chance to use it without the current problems we have with it.

Thank you and I will answer any questions you may have.

They dont need it, if ISD needs a card that badly they can ask SA or FC for one. Plus theirs already 3 card printers in the foundation if ISD got one it would be easier for CI/UNGOC to print cards from our base (Assuming they can print cards/FearRP someone too) since all printers are behind multiple CL4s/CL5s

Edit: Just a reminder for Disguises that they can't just take a disguise and print a card, they need to have the persons name

Gonna -support here even though I'm the DoISD from UK.
Giving ISD the ability to just print any Keycard they want is generally a bad idea. There's a reason why it's restricted to SA and FCOM. If you really want a keycard for your investigations, RP it out and go to SA or FCOM.

This would remove all my hesitation regarding this change.
My main concern is ISD using the printer to frame CL 4s and to force a tribunal, take this scenario for example.
Let's say a GSD Captain has been getting on ISD's nerves. They keep questioning ISD when they arrest GSD and constantly demand they allow GSD leadership to handle it.
They haven't broken any rules yet but a commissioner gets tired of them and wants to give out some payback. So he calls an agent over and orders them to strip their card. The agent not thinking anything of it follows the order and walks away.
The commissioner then proceeds to print a CL 4 with the captains name on it and walks out. He looks for a captain to disguise as and takes the disguise.
The now disguised commissioner holding an exact copy of the aforementioned captain's keycard can now freely search for a CL 3 ISD and break the FLC in front of them
Since that CL 3 ISD lacks the authorization to arrest CL 4s, he demands ID. The disguised commissioner happily obliges and walks away.
He later undisguises and returns to his office, destroys his fake keycard and prints a new copy of his own. He looks at his discord and that CL 3 ISD gives him the perfect clip to tribunal his least favorite captain.
The problem with this? It's all in character and even if staff were to monitor logs, all the commissioner would have to do is wait a day or two so the logs would clear (unless I am incorrect about staff logs)
There is simply no checks with this, allowing ISD to freely frame whoever they like with way too much ease

Yeah if anyone tried this I would ensure they are removed from ISD immediately. But I’m definitely in support of there being an IC log to audit

-Support?

The reason why Ethics Assistants and Overseer Assistants have access to print keycards is because they work directly under Cl5 personnel.
The power to even print a keycard isn't even accessible to all assistants, only a handful are able to.
Site Admin almost exclusively have this power because they manage all personnel on site.

Since this PRIVILEGE is directly in line with Site Admins gameplay loop, I see no reason for this to be considered. Yes, it may be a cool thing to add, but realistically, doesn't make sense.
