Added Metal Tag to Syndicate IDs
About the PR
I added the Metal Tag to Syndicate IDs.
Why / Balance
Nukies can microwave their ID and copy it repeatedly for nigh AA. I don't think having AA before even entering the same space as the station is balanced.

- tweak: Syndicate IDs make Microwaves explode
This is a pretty significant nerf to nearly every nukie strategy besides the basic hit armory first ‘stealth ops’ I do think that nukies need to be nerfed somehow, but I don’t think I like further limiting the availability strategies for nukies.

I don't think 3TC AA is balanced for Nukies to have
Far from AA even if you count all 5 IDs as +15TC considering it can dupe access and thus you are not guaranteed anything new, can do 100 cooks and still have only bad access, its just that the average goes up if you manage to avoid frying your syndicards early and remember to try and copy new access every time.
you just buy clown kit and put clown id's, Nerf didnt work lol
Guess what ID is about to also get nerfed.

Unless you create a brand new ID type, im not sure what you could do here. Giving it agent ID would be OP, making the ID metal would make all IDs metal.
Unless you specifically pick clown IDs to not be microwaveable, and the poor syndie clown just has to suffer
microwave should just get removed from the nukie base. i agree this is really stupid for nukies to be able to do
Microwave is also gateway to microwave chemistry, you would remove more than just IDs.
they have a hotplate
Hotplate can't be used for microwave chem, microwave itself is one of "ingredients".

To my understanding the microwave is only needed for Aloe / Sutures / Meshes
Closed due to feature freeze May 10th-June 14th. Comment to have it reopen after this.
Also making them metal doesn't stop the nukies from just buying other id cards from the uplink
