Back when gravity was introduced, we had all kinds of weird 'corpse behaviour' (standing upright forever, perpetual pendulums, spinnning). Have a guess why we don't have them today? Because it looks dumb. Also: - zero g (weightlessness/free fall) != zero gravity (blame the guy who came up with the t...

I can't see this working as a game mode. Until the aliens get onto the station or the crew metas that it's a CM round, nothing exciting will happen - not even to the miners, who will just get ggnore tackle spam pounced on. Once the xenos are on board, it will just be like your everyday random xeno s...

Not letting the crew know that you are on the station (either by stealth or destroying comms) is a solid strategy. They had these tactics for ages. AI can vox 'awwwwwwperatives', a head can still use his desk announcement system, anybody can grab a station bounced and most certainly 90% of the crew ...

You know what? I don't even care anymore. This will get removed whether people want it to or not, whether people complain a lot, or fully support it. Heck, even if everyone opposes it, not like it will matter. So why even bother making this thread? This forum is like a reality tv show. It's fun if ...

The best bit about department sec are the rechargers and maybe the sec records, if you can be bothered. The rest is just a little more access (which is still not enough most of the time) and the potential for some mild RP on very slow low pop rounds - notably in cargo. Considering the chronic lack o...

5 powers is a lot to expect even out of competent geneticists because of the RNG involved with getting those powers It's driving me insane at times.

Holy Water is near instant at detecting if someone is or is not a cultist, right now your better off killing the person with 100 units of Holy Water.

@HBL Can we maybe start with a server poll (over maybe a week or two) about how the players feel the current situation around security is? You know, just to verify whether or not this thread actually has any merit. Also why is it that the thread was moved to the cuck shed due to some unrelated spam,...

Actionb

Wait what. Why is this in the cuck shed.

Actionb

Sounds as if the problem is less with security and more with crew treatment of security. Sadly, given how this tends to be part of the 'culture,' I don't know how well efforts to fix it with cracking down on the tide will go. There would be a shit ton of push back. It goes a bit deeper than just 't...

The problem with removing security is what do you replace it with? Many of the conversion based game modes (and some normal game modes) operate under the assumption there's some station bound force acting in opposition to the antagonists. Ifyou were to remove security from the game then what's left...

Actionb

maybe we should just do away with loyalty implants besides the roundstart assurance, make it so sec can be converted if you take off their glasses or some shit. I was going to bash on this, but you actually do have a point there. I have been reading through these two threads Security's representati...

It may not have to be for rest of eternity. Just to get the ball rolling.

Actionb

The only real way I can see use encouraging people to play security is with the idea of rewarding good sec play with commendations, medals or even a rare antag token. But that's bound to be highly controversial. Having experienced, responsive players in your sec team has led to some of the most ama...

No buff in the world is going to make security less aggravating and unrewarding to play.

Security is in a place where if you do your job you get called a validhunter and everybody hates you, and if you try to be easygoing and let people off easy you end up dead with the rest of the security team. Pretty much. Either you're a complete ass, seemingly powertripping, to everyone or you don...

how to kill literally any blob that has a core exposed to space: do your part, exterminate the blob menace as quickly as possible so we can actually play a good gamemode.

I've never even tried to fix telecomms (other than rebuilding the main hub) since it looks so complicated with so many different machines.

Aren't all the materials needed to fix telecoms in Secure Storage? For the barebones ghetto comms setup (reciever, CPU, mainframe, broadcaster; link everything to the mainframe), yes almost.

Utilizing shocked grilles is a staple of the robust gentleman.
Only cremating people via shocked vending machines has more style.

That's backwards. You're penalizing the late dominator instead of giving rewards for an early one. People respond better to rewards than to punishment. This also doesn't solve the problem of just taking over the station first and then dominating. Actually, it makes it even worse, since the longer yo...

Atropine would be a good choice. You can get it from the vendomats and is actually a hella robust chemical for what it does... sadly it's barely ever used, so giving it some new perks might pique people's interest in it.

I haven't played for a few months but... After all this time, gangs still don't have an incentive to drop the dominator as early as reasonably possible?
