We should give admins IC ways to give items to players. I think that the primary way that admins interact with the crew is either as god or Centcom, so I think that admins should have some visual effects for spawning items if they want, maybe in the F5 menu as checkboxes or dropdown lists, depending on how many get added.
My idea is that the space the item would spawn in is obscured by the chosen effect, which then disperses and reveals it. Definitely better than the thing just appearing out of thin air.
I think that for “Authority” type admin interactions (Nanotrasen, the syndicate, etc.), there should be either a bluespace-y effect, or you could rip off the way SS13 does it and have drop pods with assorted signage for any assortment of organizations. Or both, both would be good.
For “Divine intervention” type admin interactions, there should be a couple of selectable effects.
Some holy light, for benevolent gods
Some smoke and fire, for EVIL gods
Some blood and/or floating black rock, for Nar’sie
Some gear-y type stuff for Ratvar
And a poof of pink smoke with bananas floating around for the Honkmother
