Remove Particle Accelerator and Emitter access from TA #31432

Open baddiePRO opened 2 months ago

baddiePRO commented 2 months ago

so it seems like the raider meta right now is to spawn as technical assistant, run to the particle accelerator or emitters and loose the Tesla/Singulo, and I don't see any drawbacks to removing those two accesses from the TA except maybe teaching legit players how to set it up, but I think it's easy enough to explain to them without having to use them.

Intern roles aren't supposed to have less access than normal one so it would go against that, if anything interns were getting even more access cause some of it was missing like cadets having no externals.

Since TA has a role timer it has, at least in my experience, been much more common for raiders to go other roles and then break into engineering. Other admins may disagree with me but that’s what I’ve seen at least.

The PA and emmiter would have to be their own access type for this, since currently they are simply "Engineering" restricted. Even without the access they could just pull a singularity or tesla generator in front of an already running PA. Most maps have both in the engineering storage available. The emitters can also be sabotaged by cutting their power supply with a wirecutter. There are a million ways to sabotage this and it won't be possible to stop all of them.
