why? Criminal records give you less information about the person than station records, and AI shouldn't really be setting criminals to wanted, that's the Wardens job

Ive never seen the station records be used either way.
And security keeps yelling at AI to change wanted status anyways, might as well make it easier whenever possible.

1. Robocop law set
2. AI is already perfectly capable of utilizing the criminal records terminals anyways, so this is more QoL than a new functionality/ai powercreep

You are correct though about station records havi no more info, I honestly think ai should have both and the ai player can pick and choose what terminals they want on hand with the actions menu

Other than that it is perfectly reasonable to give ai quick access without needing to scroll around looking for a terminal to jump into

As with the mindshield and wanted status vision, I don't really think it's a good idea to push the AI towards security-sided gameplay. Every tool that's given to them is an official designation of "this is what you are expected to do for the station", so having a criminal records computer on demand will make AI players think this is what they should be doing

You see this is already a thing AI can do by simply flying across the map to security
this simply removes the fly across the map part and still serves essentially the same purpose
its not like letting AI see wanted status to report people instantly, simply means u dont gotta cross the map to do what you already could do
Besides borgs can see mindshield status im still confused why AI shouldnt

Is this really intended? I think AI being able to view criminal records is good, but changing them should be sec's job.

If Borgs see mind-shield/wanted status then that is a bug

If Borgs see mind-shield/wanted status then that is a bug

they do in fact see mindshields and ive never seen it be called a bug

This was supposed to be changed #26207, not that im against this pr but yes it is intended for Borgs to not see mind-shields or wanted status for the same reasons why AI can't

I use station records :(
And security really just needs to learn that that isn't the AI's job.

"AI set x to wanted for y" seems like a perfectly reasonable request for an on-board station ai. AIs job is whatever the crew deems its job to be. Hell if someone asks for the AI to mark someone as wanted the AI literally cannot say no under Asimov laws due to law two.

So yes if someone tells the ai to mark someone as wanted it 100% is the ai's job. This QoL change simply makes ai doing that task easier, rather than annoying.
