What is security for?
- protecting non-antags from antags
- destroying antags as quickly and efficiently as possible
- enforcing space law to a T, antag or no
- exclusively for role-play, they don’t do anything other crewmates can’t

What security should do is sacrifice some rp in the name of allowing the antags to cause chaos to make the round fun instead of a green shift

depends on the round
I think an S tier HoS and sec department has the state of the station in mind, and plays around it.
Like if you apprehend a traitor on a quiet low-pop round and you’re immediately begging the captain for permission to fucking execute and borg them, you’re being anti-fun and a detriment. That’s also a round when sec playing more around space law instead of antags is more fitting.
edit: AI is kind of like that too.

My answer is a hybrid of two options:
Enforcing space law regardless of antag status, but not necessarily to a T
And also protecting the non-antags from antags.
It’s definitely not to powergame the shit out of antags and remove them from the round as quickly as possible because that makes for some pretty boring rounds.

What about when hos us a bb @Nik735
sec isn’t for any one thing, like any other department there are wildly different playstyles you can take
in the rare times when I play HoS i make it my mission to be as chill as possible. the last HoS round i played, i deputized a hijack traitor to help us after xenos were spotted and went along when they said i was cool and not to go to the shuttle tomorrow. i tried to board it from space (because of course it’s my job not to allow someone to hijack the dang shuttle) but those damned airlocks are too slow to cycle.
my playstyle is thus “be nice and work with everyone to maximize security’s response, only go after antags who go loud”, but that’s not a playstyle i expect everyone would or even should take.
I like this. Antags make the round fun, killing the fun is your job but shouldn’t be done
The role of sec is to ENFORCE THE LAW
and to do that you need to be RUTHLESS and HEARTLESS
BEAT criminals till they learn to behave and KILL ALL ANTAGS

they’re only behaving that way because the roundstart text told them to
Harmbatoning the clown
Referring to nonantags doing crimes
antags never leaern unless you can mindshield them
antags shouldnt even be arrested if they can be undeconverted, they should eat a bullet to the head right on the spot
Just arrest anyone with insuls and without maxed suit sensors
As much as one would think that its not as easy, this is literally THE way to validhunt. Take the risk once, ask the random with insuls and tools to show you his bag, watch him run.
security is there purely for powertripping most of the times
