Data overhaul: Consoles and servers

[Luke Cox]

It's always bothered me how consoles magically work no matter where you build them. R&D is handled very well with research levels. I propose that instead of just magically working, the power grid also functions as a data network, and each department has a server that provides the various console services. Personnel console manages ID consoles, security server manages security records, medical server manages medical records and crew monitoring consoles, etc. We could make it wireless like R&D's server, or require a wired connection(powerline networking). Depending on how robust coders want to make the system, a new job could be made out of maintaining the servers and telcoms, adding and editing NTSL scripts, etc. This would also indirectly buff antagonists, as they would be able to disrupt key services, like security records.

I don't see how this would end up as anything more than an extreme inconvenience.
