I believe, that the current chemistry layout suffers from a few problems: 1. The chemists can mess with each others chem master (accidentally and not). 2. Chemists tend to make a lot of bottles for temporary storage, however only once chemist can access the disposal conveniently. 3. There is very little space to move around. It is a huge hassle to get to the pill cabinet if the other chemist is standing around with his intent set to anything other than help. I have made a small change(see screen shot) to remedy these problems:

Sure, but if you are to be seen as the last person handling your victim you might as well choke them out in maintenance or give them a lethal injection. I'm thinking about something more along the lines of giving your target some chemical in reception that would react with whatever it is in the cryo tube. If the person placed in a tube does not have the chemical in his blood nothing happens and the tube works normally, if he does however... Even better the last person handling the guy was not you. One could use it to frame others. Before the change the was a lot of potential for creativity and interesting gameplay. With the GUI change this potential is lost and we get to see more of the boring "just whack the guy with an esword" murders.

It is not easy, yes. But I believe that SS13 gets a lot of its charm from its "anything could be a death trap" behavior. Thats the point, it should not be that easily noticeable that the tube was tampered with. It is possible to make it deadly to some, while being harmless to others if you think creatively. Also this possibility has existed with the older cryo tubes too.

I really appreciate that the new GUI for the chemical dispensers shows the contents of the loaded beaker, however I believe that cryo tubes should not have such a chemical analyzer. This would allow traitors to load more ...interesting... ingredients into the cryo tubes and not be discovered immediately. The tube can still show how much of the chemical is left in the beaker, but it should not show the exact contents of it.
