Tablet

This page needs to be reviewed/updated.

REASON: Icons need to be updated and the new TGUI PDA's and their different apps should probably be explained on here.
PRIORITY: Medium

A small portable microcomputer (previously called a PDA [Personal Data Assistant]). Tablets are usually useful to their owners, as they have a variety of functions, such as note keeping and messaging, as well as job-specific functions like controlling Beepsky and analysing fingerprints or blood stains, sending deliveries, analysing the surrounding atmosphere, scanning for disease or components, checking how much power are in the APCs around the station and causing chaos.

The Tablet's message function relies on the RD's message server. If it is powerless or broken, then no one will be able to send messages to each other. The message server also logs your dirty little messages, so don't expect to be able to get away with using them to rally a rebellion.

Your primary use of the Tablet will likely be the handy flashlight feature it comes with. Once the station descends into chaos, you won't have to go hunting around for a flashlight, as you have a weak one built right in. Just put the Tablet in your hand, click it, and toggle the "flashlight: on/off." This light will also count for the stacking effect other flashlights have.

Be weary, having your Tablet on will use it's limited battery, you can recharge it at a cell recharger.
