What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion is to change harpoons back to how they used to be but with a twist.
the not so recent change to plague medical leadership was changed out of the blue as the only way to obtain harpoons legitimately as a medical lead was through 914 duping so the change however scuffed it is, it is justified as it was essentially authorised major glitching.
This change would be to re-enable being able to pocket harpoons to allow medical leadership to hand them out during training which would cancel out a lot of issues in the long run for both servers medical leadership. Instead of 914 obtainment though harpoons would be placed in the f4 menu for Consultants + Directors of medicine (and the medical leaderships of GOI's if they have any lol) to be able to obtain and then hand out.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Would give medical lead the authority over harpoons they once had.
- could essentially limit the amount of RDMing happening where harpoons are used
- Passive SCP's would no longer be able to pick up and throw them as they do now.
- Would return a interaction point between consultants/Directors and members of the Dpt as people who lose their harpoons would need to return to medical leadership and explain how they lost their harpoon to get a new one.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- People who fuck around during downtime or during times where med lead is not active will not be able to perform EST
- development time
- may take medical lead a minute to create new policies n training scripts due to the change
- 914 abuse of harpoons would increase due to the fact harpoons will be pocketable again (however why would someone go for harpoons when they can do 1 or 2 more cycles through 914 and get energy weapons)
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I believe this should be accepted as despite it being major glitching harpoons back in the day were in a good state, abuse was minimal and a lot of interactions were generated because of their regulations and what not when people lost their harpoons. these "harpoon refunds" also helped medical leadership keep on track of the more lacklustre personnel playing on medical and were able to deal with people before other people came n reported issues to us like what usually happens now. This change was also as i said out of the blue nor was it communicated to medical leadership before the change was made and was also changed in preparation of a big change to medical that was also shelved and left to rot by NL themselves.
Daily i am seeing issues of either people whether they are medical staff or not running into Medbay, grabbing harpoons and running out to use them to kill people as they are quite powerful if you are used to aiming them. SCP's are always doing this too which in itself is a fuckywucky situation. Our only way to prevent this is rid everyone of a Medical license which is not even allowed to be a permanent solution or a long-term solution for people to come to us to appeal. This in itself is not ideal as it just makes people who barley want to be in the Dept. have more of a reason to not touch the department especially during times where medicals population is in a bad state.
