TullyBBurnalot Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Pretty much what it says on the tin. I've come to agree with the changes to the Detective's access level and item distribution, but I still fail to understand why shouldn't be given what is, in essence, a flashlight. Yes, I understand that it's a flashlight that can easily bash someone's skull in, but with the recent lighting changes, giving the Detective a Seclite would be incredibly useful. PDAs are barely worth using as lamps nowadays. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/4472-detective-seclite/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plotron Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I agree. A forensic technician without a powerful flashlight for his investigations is a joke. Anyway, seclite is comparable in power to a telebaton - plus, the revolver is a powerful validhunting weapon which can help you put people to crit if you unload all the bullets, so the argument for robustness seems invalid. Alternatively, give the detective a standard flashlight.

TullyBBurnalot Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 I didn't want to bring up the revolver because, technically, we're not supposed to be pumping 7 shots into someone's head most of the time.

Romana T. Colgate Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 As we argued about this, I agree as well. > Though I still contend Sec HUDs are useful to for actual Detective-y things -other- than finding teh criminals to beat them up.

TullyBBurnalot Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 As far as I'm aware, SecHUDs were removed from the Detective's arsenal because SOME PEOPLE couldn't keep themselves from being detectivecurity. And shit detectivecurity at that. From an RP perspective, I agree, though. Forces you to keep aware of everyone that's wanted rather than having a shining red icon over their heads. That's for the plebs in the red shirts. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/4472-detective-seclite/#findComment-31186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romana T. Colgate Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I am more than fine with not having to arrest and beat people up as the Detective, honestly I'm under-equipped and not qualified for that, it's not my job. Honestly I'm glad that if the HoS demands I arrest someone who's not an active threat and I bring him to the brig I get to make his ass/the warden handle processing because I don't get access. Though I like doing interrogation alright, I seem to be the only one who actually uses the damned tape recorder.

TullyBBurnalot Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 Do you also use the tiny interrogation room and start pulling "bad cop"? Because that is SO MUCH FUN.

Romana T. Colgate Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Hehe, not yet, waiting for a good chance to. Did have a time where some guy kept trying to unbuckle cuff themselves from the shuttle demanding to get cake, and I kept tele-batonning them to stun them, and counted how many -totally legit- counts of resisting arrest they were accruing. It hit the 30s. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/4472-detective-seclite/#findComment-31189 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hit the 30s. Just to note- You can only be charged with resisting arrest once per arrest, so unless you arrested him 30 times you're probably oversentencing.
