Security Redux + Supporting Changes

-# by @pirakaplant, Silicon Portion by @rainbeon

As part of a shift toward a more cohesive design direction centered around exploring the actual themes of working for a questionable megacorporation in the distant future, Security is receiving sweeping changes that makes it more brutal in nature, depicting what an actual enforcement arm for such an entity would be likely to look like, rather than shying away from any political themes. A bit part of this shift is the move away from cartoonified, harmless non-lethals, and instead emphasizing "less-lethals" such as nightsticks, as well as normal lethals.

What's changing mechanically:

Security no longer has access to standard non-lethals such as stun batons and disablers, entirely. (Flashes still exist)
No security weapons have any disabler modes.
Truncheons are now retractable nightsticks, with new sprites and sounds, available in place of the stun baton. These deal less physical damage, but more stamina damage. (Sprites by AraiMaia, sounds by IamJustHereYouKnow and pirakaplant)
Most other instances of disablers are now RG-2s.
The non-lethals cargo crate is now the less-lethals crate, containing security shell guns and beanbag shells instead of disablers.

Some non-lethal options have a small harmful component to them now as well, such as flashbangs now exploding with a very weak explosion, and tear gas dealing asphyxiation damage. (Portion by Xcybitt)

Security SOP and the guidebook have been updated to reflect this shift in narrative and mechanical direction.

As a result of all of the above, Security personnel can no longer be Pacifists. Allowing it is not in spirit with the change and would make you unable to do your job.

You can read a further description and reasoning here.

[SILICONS]: As a necessary supporting change, the default lawset for Silicons is now NT Default instead of Crewsimov. It is with a heavy heart that this change is made, and it is unlikely to be where Silicons stay forever. Crewsimov as a lawset is unfortunately entirely incompatible with Security that have zero non-lethal options, as their Law 1 would force them to be entirely anti-Security whenever Security does anything. This would be frustrating for Security, and frustrating for Cyborgs, as their only way to stop the endlessly intervening Cyborg would be to crit their chassis (and no, they can't take care of you and an arrestee at the same time), and the conflict is not meant to be Sec vs Cyborgs all the time. It is also further incompabitable with the Station AI having Crewsimov, as Security are innate "crew harm" threats, due to having 0 potential to solve problems non-harmfully: that is, whenever a Red Alert is called, it would be logical for a Crewsimov Station AI to entirely lock Security in their department and fully prevent them from moving any time a Blue or Red Alert is called against a Crew Member.

All of the above is antithetical to smoothly testing Security Redux, and thus they are temporarily swapped to a lawset that will not so severely impede Security's functioning. The lawset we end up with could just be this, or a modified version of NT Default, or it could be something entirely original. It's hard to tell without seeing how it plays out.

Replicators

-# by widgetbeck (Imp), ported by @ALooseGoose

The Replicators antagonist has been added to the game. Replicators are a robotic ghostrole antagonist that when first spawned will choose to place a Replicator nest. The Replicators' main goal is to make more Replicators by dragging items into the hole. They may upgrade their nest, as well as themselves.

Replicators come in 3 upgradeable tiers:

Tier 1 - A weak and frail defender with a stun.
Tier 2 - A replicator with an omnitool and welder for deconstruction, but unable to stun.
Tier 3 - A very strong replicator that deals heavy blunt and structural damage, as well as stamina damage.

Rules and Content Warnings

Our rules have been condensed and more reasonably grouped. This should make it more digestible for players, give 'em a read!

Additionally, when first joining Funky Station, you are now given a content warning pop-up about what happens on Funky Station servers. This informs you of what you have to deal with innately by playing the game (i.e. loss of control of a character, death and violence of various types, interrogations, brainwashing, etc.), and if you are uncomfortable with it, it will safely remove you from the game before you are exposed to such.

What about Genetics...?

-# by @lumpy

The Genetics test is over and thus it is gone. Genetics will receive changes and a new direction based on the test, and will be reworked into a fully fleshed out role in the future.
