Removes Vampire From Explorer

[RufusVanilee]

What Does This PR Do

Removes vampires from explorer by adding them to the protected_jobs list.

Why It's Good For The Game

Vampires are unable to do their role as an explorer via reasonable means, leaving them to just roam the station like an assistant with teleporter access. If they were to even attempt going to where this job requires them to, they will be round removed.

Testing

To be conducted.

This will block traitors from being explorers, but not vampires.

[Scribble-Sheep]

Wouldn't this also cause IPC explorers to be unable to roll mindflayer half the time?

antag rolls before job. you wont be able to be an explorer sometimes though as IPC.

Also, this will affect clings because of how poorly gamemodes are coded

Alas, forgot to comment it on here, though did on discord.
Against this. Jobs should only be blocked if they cause issues for the gamemode, (HOP cult, chaplain vampire), and explorer doesnt meet that case. They can switch jobs, but also use the white ship and teleporters effectively, or the space bar.

Access is important and explorer is one of the only non-head job that grants access to the main station teleporter which can be super useful (and hilariously detrimental) to an antag that can ONLY survive on tiles that shield them from the deadly laser that is the sun. Its not needed and vamp doesnt lose out on gear depending on their job like tots do with department specific items.

[Stoniest]

I honestly don't see much point in blacklisting the role from that antag type, you can either change roles at HoP if you really don't feel comfortable or as Komrad pointed out, actually utilise the extra access you have.

It was basically no different with old vampires with space shaft miners. Learn to work around your job with its positives and negatives.

I'm convinced by the others. While it's a bit of a newbie trap, there's no reason to lock them out of it.

Against this as stated above by others, you can request a new job and work or work around it but no need to blacklist them from it

The points raised by others are fair, we should reach out to the author about potentially closing the PR.
