And that's why I dislike the way we treat code red.
I want it to be easier to access, but make it less desirable.
Going to code red right now cancels all the automated traffic anouncments in chat. Which means that there's probably a sort of SoP prohibiting space travel around a Code Red station.
Expand that to Cargo, as TDS said.
Forbid all EVA during code red, forbid miners and engineers to move to/from their outposts, have departments be put under curfew, any non-sec that's caught in the hallways gets in trouble.
Enforce actual random searches, rather than pretending to randomly search people, while you just round up some suspect.
Make Code Red an actually serious event, instead of "We saw an Emag, keep doing your stuff while those lights flash red, it doesn't actually mean anything"
Make it hell for every department, so people only initiate it when it's actually neccesary.
That's why I also think it should be harder to cancel. Because it just IS such a serious situation.
It'd also make Central Command more likely to assemble an actually useful ERT if code red carries an actual weight besides brightly colored lights flashing up.
