Original Body

About the PR

This makes it so door remotes can no longer manipulate doors just because their user has access to them.

Why / Balance

Being able to bolt doors and put them on emergency access from a distance is extremely powerful. You should not be able to do it just because you have the access in your id card, it should be limited to the capabilities of the door remote.

It also makes no sense.

Technical details

Relevant calls to check for access, and try open/bolt doors had their arguments changed to pass in the door remote instead of the user so now only the door remote's accesses are checked.

Hmmm....
I get the intent behind this, but on roleplay servers, I don't think this is abused?

In my experience, remotes don't get stolen that often, so I'm more worried about how this affects legitimate play.

Heads feel no change since their remotes have the same access.
Atmos techs lose the ability to set another department's doors to emergency access by giving the remote to a member of that department.

This isn't useful to antags, but it is quite useful to engineers doing work on a department.

This feels like a change made to balance antag issues that aren't as prevalent on roleplay servers, and so it isn't needed here.

(This comment is really shittily written and rambly, I know, but I'm not doing great and it's taken me 20min to write this already, so I'm giving up here)
