Is Docking and Visitors needed?
I say yes!
I think that having a system for visitors is a good idea.
To my knowledge SS14 is really the first to even need it, I don't remember any sort of scenario in SS13 where it was required. So we are sort of in an area where it stills need to be tested. But as I see it it was unused before because of the lack of visitors and now that they are a common part of a shift there is a need for a space law entry.
This would help reduce bad behavior towards syndicate refugees, as well as clearing any misconceptions as to who counts as a foreign invader.
Skeletons in the eye of the law
I understand that many see skeletons as only having rights to space law if they are accepted as part of the crew.
I.E: Given an ID card and Job aboard the station.
I disagree with this assessment and think that skeletons should always fall under space law.
Skeletons as they exist are visitors/passengers. They emerge on the ship and have always been on the ship. They are neutral entities and as thus can can engage in antagonistic/non-antagonistic behavior. And will be punished by space law
The only justification I have seen that refutes this statement is that Admins disagree with this assessment. As seen here https://discord.com/channels/310555209753690112/1125299494066597888/1248723095968026647
In my interpretation of my own space law skeletons are protected as passengers/visitors.
Mitigating Circumstances? Should this be included?
- Certain actions reduce the time of sentences
- Most SS13 servers have some form of this in their space law. Goon and TG both do it to differing extents.
- This would also provide much more incentive for lessened sentences. I feel that a common issue is Warden's issue max punishment 9 times out of 10 and this could help reduce that.

This is very WIP as I kinda sort of thought of it recently so expect a lot of changes to this.
