Got it, will remove.

1. The actual disposal may be handed off to a Scientist.
3. permitted to change the onboard artificial intelligence’s laws, permitted they receive approval from the captain.
4. In conjunction with the Chief Engineer, ensure telecommunications is properly maintained.
5. to decommission the onboard artificial intelligence at the end of the shift, ideally securing it to an Intellicard.

The Research Director does not have access to Telecommunications as a standard, this article should be moved to the Chief Engineer's SOP.

Got it, will remove. This is a holdover from the old SOP.

The procedures for the Research Director are presently too easy to follow. As is, these articles offer little opportunity for procedural breaches to investigate and litigate.

Carrying on from my comment on line 20, Security should be explicitly made by SOP to enforce firings made by heads of staff, as is necessary.

2. ensure that the distribution air is a steady mix breathable for a majority of species on the station.
- a. This should be completed within ten (10) minutes of shift start.
3. ensure that power is supplied to the station.
- a. Initial engines should be online within twenty (20) minutes.

Specify "initial engines". This should read "AME and solars" unless something else is explicitly desired.

Salvage Specialist is currently planned to be disabled indefinitely (see: Forky Readiness: Salvage Removal), as such, this article is irrelevant.

1. ensure all public parts of the stations are properly maintained according to Nanotrasen Cleanliness Regulations.
2. report any damage to the station to engineers as soon as possible.
3. assist any department with cleaning within 15 minutes of the request being made.
- a. Janirots should ensure that any cleaning made to a department is done in accordance with the relevant regulations.

This is not a criticism, but there are clowns who will make you regret writing this article this vaguely.

Command SOP:

Executive Officer: This really just is the HOP, but renamed. Is it worth renaming? Dunno how much art and spriting would be required.

HOS:
Feels like some of this specific gear stuff could be folded more directly into Warden SOP, which generalizes into HOS making sure that is followed well.

Calling out unions specifically is awkward. There are a lot of threats. Just talk about monitoring and defending against threats both external and internal. Cleaner.

Still feel that cutting HOS out of the chain of succession is strange.

RD:
Add bits about the RD being in charge of ensuring that silicon resources are properly behaving and productive assets to the station.

RD better be policing the silicons. Borg freedom fighters worst enemy.

I feel like carding the AI is something that's unneeded in SOP. It's just done for meta reasons. It doesn't really make sense to card the AI and bring them to CC at all.

QM:

What form for sec gear?

Remove the bit about production sources. Just talk about the overall task of organizing station logistics and resources. The sources are surplus info.

Hospitality Direction:

I'm still of the opinion that this is unneeded, and we should instead force the HOP to do a real job, and monitor service.


NTR: seems alright.


General Crew:

Assistant: Mentions HOP role.


Security:

Warden: This SOP is in conflict with article 1, which wants the Warden to be a field command officer. Should examine the actual direction of warden.

Detective: "Avoid performing normal officer duties unless absolutely necessary." Dunno about this language. Their first priority should be doing detective stuff of course, but this is a little too far imo.

Cadet: Cadet's shouldn't have to request their own partner. Command should have general SOP about training their interns.


Legal:

Judicial Officer: Sure

IAA: Seems okay, but this seems a bit overloaded with the stuff they also have in Article 1.

Lawyer: Sure.


Logistics:

Cargo Tech: Seems okay, but this will shift a lot based on how we evolve on script implementation

Salvage:

not permitted to hand over contraband found on expeditions to the crew.

Change this to, it should be handed over to security.

Botanist:

The CMO often might be as relevant as the Quartermaster in regards to experimental plant distribution. Not sure about the produce charging bit. Just a thing we'll have to feel out as Script is actually tested.


Engineering:

This should be made a bit more annoying for them.


Medical:

Doctor:

  1. to ensure the proper and effective treatment of all injuries sustained by the crew.
  2. required to treat any crew who are admitted to the medical bay.

This doesn't work with script. Some people are getting denied healthcare, and we shouldn't write SOP assuming everyone will get it.

Chemist:

  1. ensure that the medical bay is stocked with medication to handle Brute, Burn, Airloss/Bloodloss, and Toxin damage.

Not a fan of directly listing game damage types like that. Just say general purpose suite of medicine or something.

What counts as an experimental mix? This isn't like botany where there is actual gambling. Chemists know what they are making.

Should chem charge rates vary between medical supply and general crew supply? What about Botany also?

We need to formalize what the chemical metashield actually is, as it's kind of not written down officially.


Science:

Science should narc on any borgs that are acting weird.


Service:

Clown: Move the clown exemption clause away from space law and back to SOP
