Latejoining Stowaways, Pilots, and Heavy Sleepers no longer get announced

About the PR

Makes the announcement computer not announce characters who have ostensibly been on the station for the whole shift, or who aren't on the station.

Why's this needed?

Doesn't make sense for the announcement computer to be all-knowing about stowaways & pilots, and heavy sleepers have been on station all shift. Makes things like undercover secasses possible for non-roundstart players.

(+)Latejoining players with the Stowaway, Pilot, or Heavy Sleeper trait will no longer be announced.

I really like that. Also makes validhunting salvagers via metagaming harder when one of them tries to infiltrate the station.

It feels like there should be a points re-arrangement for the traits (except maybe stowaway), then. Coming in dark on the station has it's enormous plus, specially if you are an antagonist.

It's definitely a massive boost, and something to seriously consider... But you can "join dark" by just getting in at the start of the round, maybe finding a hiding spot and going AFK. Only difference I can foresee for that is that Heavy Sleepers will be hidden from the manifest. I'm not sure changing point costs is necessary

I don't see why heavy sleepers should be excluded from the manifest. Stowaways and pilots sure, as I don't believe they are technically NT employees, but that does not apply to heavy sleepers.

[MintyPhresh]

Oh, yeah, no, they're on the manifest after they join, there's just no way for the manifest to know that beforehand
