Ideally the chaplain waits until cult is found instead of hunting threats they have no reason to know exist. At which point commanding staff can just give them access anyway.
There are two departments that need Maint access at the start of the round. Engineering, who are expected to fix wiring in maint and otherwise maintain the station, and Security, who are expected to patrol the station.
If you do not start the round with Maint access, you can stop by the HoP’s desk. It’s generally staffed, and if you can explain why you need the access, they’ll generally give it to you.
Assistants need maints because role is really bland without them
Curator and Chaplain start with validhunting tools that they can easily use with maint access.
Also if we would give curator and chap maint access we would end up giving maint access to everyone because there might be one situation they would need it
Michiru I think you’d be better suited to aurorastation, an HRP server that I play on quite often that runs on a different code base and has better rp rules
Actually, noone should have maint access so that tiders have to hack everywhere in maint and have to keep a greybull on their person at all times. Thatd be cool
wait, assistants are getting maint access removed? smh
i think these suggestions could do with being a lot more productive as opposed to “remove this, remove that”. if you don’t like assistants being what they are, suggest new stuff to replace/subvert it. new roles that i can think of to partially replace assistants off the top of my head w/ minimal mapping that can have any random uniform slapped on and no need for an office:
caterers, the cargo techs of service, who deliver beer and plants and food and whatnot (assistants with food industry flavoring)
acolytes, a couple of mooks the chaplain can order around (assistants with religious flavoring)
maintenance technicians (stolen from elsewhere), people with maint and general engineering access that concentrate not on engines but on broken wires, breaches and whatnot (assistants with engineering flavoring)
interns, people directly under the HoP or Captain that are delegated by said HoP or Captain and perform administrative duties or monitor the bridge consoles (assistants with command flavoring)
