HQ Elevator
I like the flavour of an elevator with no buttons that just takes you to the floor you need based on your badge, but in practice, it can be fiddly. In practice, there's a lot of ID badge switching.
- You can't see what badge you have equipped when you get the elevator encounter. With various badge switching / deactivation, I often have the wrong badge equipped. (Weird workaround — you can ask someone in chat to look at your profile.)
- There's a 5 turn delay if you walk away from the elevator, once I realize I have the wrong badge on, it sucks knowing I need to waste 5 more turns there.
- Consequences of having the wrong badge on can be a long delay (eg. if you meant to go to from maintenance to call center but accidentally went to lobby, you either need to unlock lobby elevator for the day or go back parking garage->maintenance elevator — extra ~15-20 turns).
- Naked conduct run not currently possible — I think the ID card for elevator is the only thing preventing this. (Or train conductor hat equipped.)
- You need Executive ID equipped to ride elevator to that floor, but then can present any ID card to the guards at the desk, which is a little odd.
It would be nice to swipe any ID badge at the elevator encounters. It feels okay to have to wear a badge to get in the front door. There would still be consequences for wandering around the offices without appropriate ID badge.
Not really related — it feels like there should be some way to hack the facial recognition scanner on exec floor, but the server we need to hack is locked behind the facial recognition scanner… hmmm.
