Landerlow Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 As you all know, (or not) the security newscasters can be used to publish wanted issues. I have a few issues with these issues, mainly because well, the feature is barely used because no one pays attention to it or does not know it exists. I would like to suggest the following changes: 1) Ability to have multiple wanted issues up at the same time. 2) Ability to re-broadcast the same issue(s), like some kind of reminder system for the station crew. (Currently you will have to take down the issue and recreate it to have the warning displayed/heard from newscasters). An automated reminder/broadcast repeat every minute or so would also not be amiss. 3) The possibility of offering a reward, or recognition of some kind. ^^^--> Security is often understaffed and immensely busy and let's face it: Non-security crew often know more about the underworld of the station. To ensure increased safety and safe apprehension of lawbreakers, incentives could be offered for people providing helpful information, exact locations or other useful things. This could also apply to voluntarily handing in contraband items. It would be nice if the player who hands in an item gets something in return, this will also give them less incentive to use the contraband item rather than handing it in. Thoughts? 2 Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/10658-change-of-the-wanted-issue-system/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZN23X Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 I've been working security for eons and didn't know this security newscaster existed. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/10658-change-of-the-wanted-issue-system/#findComment-88296 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All newscasters in the brig are security newscasters. And the one in the HoP office, I think. And perhaps the bridge, I'm not sure.

GunDOS Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Captains office, and the NT Rep also has one. Not sure about the HoP. But the bridge one is not a security newscaster Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/10658-change-of-the-wanted-issue-system/#findComment-88298 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jovaniph Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 The IAA office has one. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/10658-change-of-the-wanted-issue-system/#findComment-88301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landerlow Posted June 22, 2017 Author Posted June 22, 2017 Yeah well, so a lot of the offices have one, but they are barely used. And their use could be improved, that is what this topic is about. What are your thoughts on that? Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/10658-change-of-the-wanted-issue-system/#findComment-88302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovaniph Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) Maybe make it so if someone is near one that it will span the text nice a bold to get peoples attention? If a wanted issue is ordered.

Landerlow Posted June 22, 2017 Author Posted June 22, 2017 That would also be nice. I would really like to see the wanted system used more often.

Vivalas Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 I've been planning on porting tg's wanted posters, the ones you can print from record consoles, would at least get a little more use and be somewhat fun. I agree with these changes though, having only one wanted notice up at a time is a bit restrictive.

FPK Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 I very rarely use newscasters, a crime considering how cool they are. I approve all three proposed changes, let's spread some FAKE NEWS. Wanted posters are pretty good too, I enjoy using them on goon, but not really for legitimate purposes. On goon, security is allowed to punish people by dropping two or three flashbangs on their face, so the standard they're held to is nothing like what we have here. I usually use wanted posters to get vigilantes to beat up nerds in exchange for cash.
