so... it doesn't have any fee or penalty, so this can be used roundstart...
it totally should punish players for calling for backup when they're supposed to handle things on their own

As I mentioned in the PR discussion, the term deputize suggests that Salvage is becoming security. We cannot expect salvagers to follow corporate law and perform arrests. The wording needs to make it clear that they are assisting security, but are not "deputies". There needs to be a definition as to what the expectations are for salvagers (ie can engage active threats but must hand over neutralized threats to appropriate persons).
Otherwise there will be player reports of salvage not following proper escalation.
This PR looks more aimed at formally allowing Salvage to hunt antags. If this is the case that expectation needs to be made clear.
Updated to 10k upfront cost, 0% salary sacrifice to reflect the style of this being a contract between CC/NT and ITF |

This PR now aligns with #5619. Which will handle the SOP. The wording for the announcement has now been updated to reflect contracting the ITG's local salvage team to come and engage station threats, as shown in the updated media. |

Personally not the biggest fan of putting this behind a secure terminal request with a credit pay wall, some things can just be naturally achieved in gameplay without the need for the secure terminal request. But if you do want to pursue this, keep in mind #5002 added secure terminal SOP, and any new additions to secure terminal should have a matching SOP, outlining at minimum the most common use cases and conditions for calling it. |
The entire point is to make this non-formalized process formal, due to the issues the lack of a standard and clear comms causes for crew, antags and admins. This becomes essential if #5619 goes through, since Salvagers will no longer be station crew. Fee added in as it is in-universe appropriate due to #5619 making Salvage belong to ITG, also requested by a maint. SOP wording and logic to be handled in #5619. |

Note GitHub couldn't provide a complete incremental comparison for this pull request, so CodeRabbit is performing a full review instead. This review may take a little longer. |

again will return to penalty, there's no sense to dismiss "ITG Salvage Team", you can use it roundstart, get 10000 fee and keep it entire round

Salary penalty added. But I completely disagree with your usage of salary penalty as a means to punish this when this could be better achieved with SOP and rules. |

I myself am not a fan of the salary penalty tbh. If crew is abusing this roundstart we've got rules for that. This was meant to be a way to make it easier for admins to know that salvage is now helping sec and is probably only getting used when like half of sec is wiped. |
|
I also think a flat cost, and SOP/Rules for usage are more interesting than the salary reduction. I mean, wouldnt calling them without reason fall under powergaming, akin to calling ERT with no reason? |

Short description
Adds two new options to the Secure Terminal:
ITG Salvage Team — contracts the Interstellar Trade Guild's local Salvage team to engage active station threats. Requires the Captain and the Head of Security to authorize, costs 10,000 credits charged to the requester as well as a station-wide 5% salary cut, and has a 10 minute cooldown.
Dismiss ITG Salvage Team — ends the contract and returns the team to standard duties. Free, and needs a single Captain or Head of Security signature.
Both broadcast a station-wide announcement, making it clear to crew, Salvage and antags alike what capacity Salvage are acting in.
Also adds an Announcement action type to the secure terminal, for requests that exist purely to broadcast and have no mechanical effect.
Why we need to add this
Related PR discussion: https://discord.com/channels/1272545509562777621/1534437471071502376
The intention with this is to make it clear to all players when Salvage is allowed to be pursuing antags. Currently, the lack of clarity causes issues for crew, antags and admins alike. And makes it harder for all involved to understand if Salvage is helping via an approved mechanism or valid hunting.
