Content Suggestion Keycard Shredding

[JasonTheCheesyGuy]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Allow users to 'shred' a keycard using the document shredders that are placed around the site.


Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I don't believe so.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
1) General quality of life, as you will no longer need to drop and then shoot keycards that you collect. Also removes the need for people to interrogate keycards off of eachother to get rid of them. (Did anyone say GM benefits? Because I'm saying GM benefits.)
2) Improved immersion, reduced gunfire around the site.
3) Makes keycard holds less effective (Positive for F, and IMO, the playerbase. Keycard holds are boring asfuck.)

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
1) dev time; But I hope this sort of change wouldn't be too intensive to make, as it is effectively just a 'remove X swep when you press E on the entity' change. IDK, I don't do dev work 0_0
2) Makes keycard holds less effective (Negative for CI, though IMO its an improvement for their playerbase too as I cannot imagine the keycard holds as being 'fun')

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Ease of use for everyone, hopefully making one of the most complained-about strategies less viable to employ.

I like the idea of adding of an keycard "shreder" but then, make it so that keycards won't be destoryed by shots from weapons anymore. If it gets accpeted that it.

What? Why? "We've made it so you can shred keycards, also they're bulletproof now."?? What?


Anyway +support to the suggestion

I want to flag on as a chef, shred my keycard and then approach DEA pretending to be a Surface Chef. Since I don't have a keycard, they have to take me "back" to surface. Once I'm on surface, then I start talking in comms. Great RP loop for Chefs, definitely try it sometime! Very good RP

I can see both the positives and negatives of this suggestion. Some of the concerns I have from a Foundation Perspective, all members of the site should have their key cards on them at all times this is so they can be IDed through IC means. You mention this helping in the case of CI holds for key cards but I can see this being the opposite as if they do not get any key cards as they are all being shredded then the hold will keep going for longer.

Also removes the need for people to interrogate keycards off of eachother to get rid of them.

The time has been speed up when interrogating those of the same faction so if this is implemented a shredder would need to be placed at the elevators or close by with no form of counter-play in its current form but one could be that the key cards are not actually destroyed but are stored inside of a safe they could be hacked by CI if they decided to push further down into the site in order to do this. This would incentivize CI to push.

Another thing being if players were allowed to just shred their key cards they would allow players to attempt to escape IC consequences as it is harder to identify the player from an IC perspective.

This comment is not my opinion as Server Leadership but as a regular player within the community

I am like 95% certain this is a suggestion that has been approved previously, and may already be on the dev tracker.

I've already done this via keycard stripping like, twice, on both servers. I'm telling you, it's great RP
