Question. Before I totally overreact and call this out as the shitty idea this is.

Are all ghosts immune to kicking, or just admin ghosts?

Kind of a half truth

It's more like 10/70 on Basil and 65/70 on Sybil.

Akkryls

In all seriousness, can we have a headmin weigh in on this and whether it's a step too far or not?
I've considered it many times when shit got out of control, but now days I expect to be banned for doing something like this.

Akkryls

Honestly, it would be nice if it went one way or the other. Rather than having exceptions. Currently we have an incredibly lenient system where nearly nothing gibs you, other than some minor exceptions which gib you with absolute ease (Syndie minibombs on the same tile, Super matter shard, etc.) It'...

Akkryls

Could we also add in construction methods for blast shutters, console buttons etc.
Stuff like this, once it gets blown up, never works again for the rest of the round

Akkryls

Regular people use the tools we have for notifying of changes Regular people also know that the coders don't always update it. This isn't a bitchy shot at people, it's just been stated several times before that the changelog is apparently a pain in the ass and it's easier for coders to share update...

Add the warning to a wire on the console. If the wire is cut, then no announcement is made.
Something like that?

The blast shutters on the turbine. The ones with the buttons on the wall to open them.

Akkryls

Alrighty, it may have been a fluke last time I was setting it up, seems to work alright now.
Does opening either of the vents actually do anything or are they designed for reaching the turbine / venting gas?

Akkryls

I'm going to ask here since we're on the topic of Incinerators anyway.
I can't always seem to get the incinerator to ignite simply using the igniter already installed, I usually have to chuck in a welder or something to get it going.

What am I doing wrong?

Akkryls

Mediborgs have high damage medical tools without being hacked already. Secborgs have their disablers and stun batons without being hacked already, and then get lasers when hacked. Janiborgs get lube when hacked. Default borgs get energy swords when hacked, as a pay off for being shit in general I gu...

Also, would maint have any effect on helmet/borg cameras?

Abductors have items which block radio, correct?
Apply the effect to maint.

Akkryls

Random on the spot suggestion. Maint is currently the only real place to hide from radiation storms, so it obviously has some kind of shielding / interference. How about Maint blocks radio chat (Other than stuff like syndicate headsets) unless you're by an open airlock into another area or something...

Are drones allowed to fight/wall off kudzu? They shouldn't be, seeing as getting, growing and finally spreading it is already rather complicated. And plants are living organisms too. What about hostile mobs/slimes? I see a lot of drones who like to wall off whenever these appear in a round. Does it...

Akkryls

I liked playing drones, when they first came out, as having no object permanence. Like babies. No recognition of humans, etc. Everything was always new and objects that were damaged arne't supposed to be that waY(as the only exception to object permanence) I half wish they could interact with human...

Akkryls

It's not really fair to give out double punishment. If you choose to be a big boy and handle it yourself, why should admins get involved if it turns out you can't handle the situation when you chose to. In the case of someone flooding plasma, that is hardly a comparison. One is stealing, the other ...

The gulag is the permabrig without any of the comforts, really. I'm one of the few security officers who uses the gulag, mostly for shitters who are juuuuust shy of a full permabrig sentence (but in practice will dick around and do nothing, resulting in the same effect). Problem is, it's a pain in ...

Why do people always run when Sec comes to check on them?

Chances are, I just want to know...

To be fair, if the embed chance on spears was anything reasonable, Rev would just shit over even heavily armoured officers with the bloodloss.
There's a reason why it's pretty much the best method to deal with riot armour / hos armour currently.

Akkryls

I try to say "no" less often. Leads to better RP. See, I've tried this as QM/HOP and it just comes back to bite me in the ass so I'm at the stage where I refuse 90%~ of requests which aren't already okayed by other heads. Actually on topic, I build public maxed out sleepers/cloners in med...

Ideally we should have a map that scales well with both low population and high population conditions. I think box accomplishes this well enough, but only up to a certain extent, and certainly not for 60+ active players at a time. Metastation isn't even that much bigger than box; That's just a myth...

Septavius wrote:can sibyl just get a new and bigger map please.

We have a new and bigger map. Metastation.
But apparently none of you fucks actually want to play on it despite asking for a new map, which mean it's stuck on Basil where the low population never makes use of the larger station.

Akkryls

Pretty sure that was a seperate change someone made to patches/bruisepacks etc, to not work without exposed skin. I think it was changed around the time Ergo mining was put in. Much to people's hatred because the new stim pills were available for all about a week before this update meant you could ...

It was my birthday on Friday but I haven't had a day off yet and I'm working the next three days too, so I might get to celebrate my own birthday some point next week.

Akkryls

One thing you need to keep in mind when trying to generate interest for gaming like this for this community specifically is how global we are and how our different careers or situations scramble the shit out of everyone's availability. Something you can play-by-post is practically a must if you wan...

It's only good if it's not being spammed basically every wizard round. With summon events, magic, and guns all there it goes over the top from what could have been fun to just retarded. If they were limited and controlled in some manner, it would be more acceptable. But Traitors aren't limited by w...

Well, in the defense of SoS, summon spells are taken waayyy to often. Back in the day, I liked it better when it was super OP wizard vs station. Nowadays, and almost every single wizard I've ever seen since as been nothing but summon shit for days. Because summoning shit is fun for most of the crew...

One of the other threads about Security suggested an in-field arrest, cablecuffing someone and buckling them to a chair. That way it's essentially a three minute sentence. Obvious downsides include people uncuffing them and fucking with you, but if the brig is gone, it's kind of all in the air by th...

Meh. The needle rifle concept is pretty cool. Really narrow focal length laser that a dart full of nasty toxins rides along inside. Go outside you... you... traitor to humanity.

tldr: The problem isn't the shuttle, it's the players. Can't fix that easily. Very easy fix for this. You move to a server which is more in line with what you want from the player base. I'm not being all like "HUR, GO BACK TO BAY" or anything, but if you have a problem with how people pla...

It's dangerous to even potentially put the station in a situation where it can't call the shuttle at all for hopefully obvious reasons. Oldling had this problem fairly frequently for example. This wouldn't put the station in a situation where it couldn't call the shuttle. It would just make it hard...

if you remove the delays you get back the old meta of "build a table behind you to block pursuers", which is legit awful. the delays for a lot of things are neccesary. removing it for screwing down windows is a good idea though (we can keep the other two delays, i guess) I thought using o...

It depresses me that it doesn't ever cross anyone's mind to call security in these situations.

The only time you'll take the free armour perk is in the first wave, then you can swap it to the armour repair perk.

There are reports of failed launches. So I guess it stops the game running if you have parts of a used to be free now pay mod.
