Restricts Manta to RP_MODE servers

[Zonespace27]

[Removal] [Input Wanted]

About the PR

This PR removes Manta from rotation on goon1/2.

Why's this needed?

Manta is plagued with issues that don't make it a great map for classic-tier antagging and crew action for a variety of reasons:

• Reinforced walls and electrified windows everywhere
• Maint tunnels are tiny and linear, defeating their main purpose (hiding crime)
• The camera network is massive, allowing the AI and camera consoles to see pretty much anywhere.
• The Armory and AI core are possibly over-defended, as they're both next to each other, and dead-center of the station.
• The movement of the Manta does nothing but hinder crew who fall off and the Nukeops (whose jetpacks don't block movement)
• The shields are... kinda pointless? They're just really annoying.
• The singularity is extremely close to escape.

In addition, I have heard many complaints from classic players about manta in general, which encouraged me to make this PR.

Why should it stay on RP_MODE servers?

In addition to people (generally) seeming to like it on RP:

• It has a very cool theming that lends itself to RP well
• Some departmental areas (RD's office, bridge, security are a few) are very well built and look good for RP.
• It has a few gimmicks (Unique alarm message, movement) that can work well on RP

I can’t input on main but it is still off a lot on RP too. Manta is a very tight map, 2 wide hallways in a lot of locations.

I still think a lot of the critiques that you gave for main apply to RP also, as antags have an extremely huge uphill battle.

3 security officers can clear the entirety of manta maints in 30 seconds max

this limits RP crime to two areas, the civilian section (just because it’s a weaker part of the map and forgotten about) and off-station (which is made significantly more difficult due to manta’s movement)

While this PR only focuses on its removal from main, I do think it’s removal from RP should be considered (atleast for >45 pop)

Security officers on RP have to give antags leeway, but when antags are walked into on a 10 minute basis because there is nowhere to crime, it is significantly more difficult to RP much of anything as compared to other maps

I don't know if we want it either
