Part of their role is to be a direct representation of the overwhelming power that Nanotrasen has over the people on station. In discussions about how security should be dealing with command and CC staff it's been concluded that security should not be arresting these people in almost all cases, seeing as security's primary purpose should be protecting the interests of the company. + +As it stands, security is very quick to arrest members of CC or command when crimes are committed.

Characters that are in a CC vip role shouldn't be routinely breaking the law, and when they do it should have some good justification. It does open up possible issues where it is a lot more difficult to stop a corrupt CC vip, however the way to stop this, being a crew revolt, would be much more interesting than a simple arrest. + +## Administrative & Server Rule Impact (if applicable) + +CC vip roles are already under a lot of scrutiny, and rolebans are not uncommon for players acting outside the spirit of their role. It should be clear that this change does not simply give them carte blanche to begin executing people left and right because they feel like it. A consideration may need to be made on if IAA's are included in this as well, seeing as they are arguably under less scrutiny and incentivised to be a lot more zealous. \ No newline at end of file From 06dbb2ace39860912f857d09ddc8b75f1d0697bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: unknown Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2026 02:39:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] removed IAA from immunity --- src/design-proposals/CC_Immunity.md | 9 ++++----- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/design-proposals/CC_Immunity.md b/src/design-proposals/CC_Immunity.md index 543ba528..c2397c66 100644 --- a/src/design-proposals/CC_Immunity.md +++ b/src/design-proposals/CC_Immunity.md @@ -14,22 +14,21 @@ Central Command staff are outside the chain of command of the station.
