his thread is probably going to attract a lot of ss13 philosophers as well as people who are going to use every logical fallacy in the book to nerf sec.
In all honesty security had maint acces for a good reason since any sort of terrorist attack can (and usually do) happen from maint taking away the acces basically takes away secs ability chase criminals into maint as well as responding to suspicious things since most of the time thats where criminals take victims commit crimes etc.

[common] Officer Tim "please wait 10-15 minutes for us to go will someone to follow us through most of the stations dark tunnels, it might take even longer since our entire team has to follow him but if youre lucky someone might wake up and unlock the tunnels as they lack access but dont worry im sure youll be fine,sorry kid"
Really? is this the point weve reached that taking away secs ability to deal with the most basic threat is considered a good idea? If you want to nerf secs abilities lessen the sec slots and enforce strict rules against off duty officers being able to get weapons but doing this just takes away so much out of the role (inb4 sec with maint acces takes away a lot out of MY favorite role). This is probably the single worst change ive ever seen in all my time playing ss13. Somehow were to believe on a server where gameplay and behavior are tirelessly scrutinized to adhere to believable standards of even have realistic maint acces restrictions?
doing all sorts of mental gymnastics about why its a small thing and somehow better is not going to help anyone so im not going to read your copypasta reply where you qoute a sentence out of context and write a whole paragraph about why you feel you are right,
just re ad the access.
