The 914/keycard problem

Right now, if you have keycard, some eyedrops, a ballistic vest, an S-nav, a radio, and a gasmask, and go to 914, you are essentially set to get the heck out of there.

Let me elaborate on my qualms with 914

1. Keycards

First of all, it doesn't matter what kind of keycard you have. You can simply upgrade it to omni from the very beginning, a thing that really buggers me because it makes getting into restricted areas way to easy.

2. The Omni Card

First of all, I don't know why 005 is not there instead of omni. They are essentially the same thing-a key that opens all doors. Except 005 is conceivably more canon. Why not just let the cards go up to level 5, and then you need to find 005 to open some really special doors?



So basically, these are my two concerns, The Omni Card is not canon, and it is much too easy to gain access to any area. Another minor qualm of mine is that 914 spawns often spawns very close to 173's chamber, which makes it even easier to get equipped from the start. Could we not just take out the Omni card and add 005 as a legitimate SCP?

So eye drops and batteries are canon?
Anyway, I do like the idea of replacing The Omni Card with SCP-005.

Quoted from SCP Itself...

"...there is no canon."

Doesn't matter if the Omni-Keycard is non-canon, 914 is known for stuff like that.

I know, but it seems kind of cheap to make it use an "Omni Card", instead of something that does the exact same thing.

The main problem with having SCP-005 lies behind the keypad doors in the facility. SCP-005 can open those, too, so you wouldn't have to get the codes, plus theres the keypad doors that are impassable (Maintenance Tunnels and Control Room at Gate B). Theres also SCP-860, which would be pointless and more difficult, as you'd have to pass the forest rather than just walk through with SCP-005.

The Omni card is just better for quite a few reasons, I however do agree that 914 should be set to spawn further away from the beginning. 914 is known to be able to crap out anything, so technically the omni is canon. Besides, it'd be odd that a second 005 would come into existence, let alone the keypad doors and the 860 issue.
