Reinforced Handcuffs

Like, powered thick plastisteel cuffs for Unathi and G2. When placed on Unathi and G2 stops them from snapping them and have to slip out with the usual 3 minutes. I imagine they'd be placed in the armory.

I'm also gonna spitball the idea that, all other species need to either wait 6 minutes to slip out or can slip out easier because the cuffs are too big for them. 

 

Honestly this was a long time coming, I think everyone who has arrested or played a Unathi or G2 has thought of this at least once.

so this would just effectively remove the G2 and Unathi buff. why not do that instead?

Logically speaking, would NT/SCC not simply have all of their handcuffs designed not to be easily shattered by a non-insignificant portion of the workforce instead? It was a cute mechanic for hulks (which are just mutate wizards and berserk vampires now) but having it for crew always struck me as odd.

Instead of adding super-cuffs, just have the standardized cuffs function as intended for Unathi/G2s. Though for G2s I'd almost dare say take a cue from Star Wars and introduce restraining bolts for IPCs entirely, just because handcuffs on robots are weird.

I agree with both of you to an extent, maybe standard cuffs since they're made of fucking steel shouldn't be breakable but cable and vine cuffs should stay?

Seems reasonable enough.
