Fire in general is pretty underwelming. Yesterday I engulfed the entire escape shuttle in fire and the HoS just stood there in the middle flames and had enough time to stun me and beat me to death. He was literally standing in a sea of fire and wasn't actually hindered by it until his internal heat ...

I think a relatively small increase will already have a pretty large effect. I suggest looking first looking at the effects of a smaller increase.

The solution to all of this is to make weapons more deadly.

Pistols, lasers, ewsords should all do more damage so they are actually worth it over just applying a stun and cuffs.

Ebow is restricted from operatives for a very good reason. Which is? Formerly a weapon with: Infinite Ammo Unlimited Range Quiet and displays no hit message unavoidable stun + tox damage. Now give that to 5 Ops each with an energy shields, all they need to do is spam it down the halls. Costs 12 IC,...

A banana peel is now shuttle grief? We are seriously moving towards a no fun allowed policy aren't we. Good job reading the rules page there. https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Rules#Roleplay_Policy 6. Griefing on the shuttle can also be a no warning ban scaling up from 15 minutes. Shuttle griefing is at...

Apparently the new HOS coat values make it strictly superior to Riot Armor, according to someone who made an issue _-_ It has slowdown 1 there is no reason for it not to have like 80 melee resist like it did Riot armor wasn't even that useful when it had 80% resist. Slowdown is almost never worth i...

It works just fine now. If you fight on their territory, they get the advantage.

I feel it would be really harmful to the role of captain if every decision you make is going to be judged OOC. As captain (or hos) you are going to have to make choices and you are going to have to make choices in shit situations. You never know the full story, you can only act on the information yo...

while I always like a good joke, this is damaging for the amount of player input pulls will receive.

CPTANT

perhaps portable scrubbers could also scrub 3x3? dragging them to every contaminated tile is rather boring. It would be way better if scrub speed was mainly limited by portable scrubber capacity.

CPTANT

ugh these flashing loyalty implants are seriously hurting my eyes. This is 10 times worse than it was before.

It's sad that we're calling for the end of lings, yes they are shit now but they're one of the only antags that I can get on a semi-regular basis that can go toe-to-toe with sec/borgs and come out ahead without putting yourself at massive risk. Last ling round I decide to just be a broling to the o...

hey look, you are now a blind, mute, epileptic wreck trough the use of a completely undetectable ability. Yay! Seriously, remove it. But of course the changeling concept has been completely wrecked over the years anyway. The entire concept of Changelings will only work as murderboning, absorbing ass...

This.

traitor chemists aren't that powerful, powerful smoke nades were their ace card. Now they aren't left with much.

CPTANT

magic missile has no counterplay
repulse has no counterplay
lich is OP as fuck
staff of animation is bitched about as being too strong
ethereal jaunt is OP

This is all just bitching about the wizard concept in general.

CPTANT

Isn't the whole point of wizard mode to get fucked over by a completely overpowered magic wielding antag?

Ei'nath is a way smaller problem than that lich spell that just gives the wizard a shitton of extra lives while its hard enough to even kill him once.

like the taser?

CPTANT

We should not be balancing the game around clunky controls, we should return the ebows to the older style of it being a semi-automatic weapon and balance accordingly. To be honest the old e-bow was completely fine, it was used but not overused. It was a powerful weapon but expensive and did not out...

Nerf the AI. Honestly, traitors and lings have the tools they need to get the job done, but the AI is this massive all seeing cockblocker, that requires a huge amount of effort to try get around, and you just know it will spend the rest of the round trrying to catch you because it can. Giving trait...

CPTANT

Ebows are functionally unchanged if you use hotkeys. Which proofs that the nerf was one based on interface which is stupid. If someone found e-bows to strong he should have decreased the amount of shots it hold/the rate at which it regens. Not add a obnoxious click every shot that favours the use o...

CPTANT

Other sec officers would pinch them for "Well someone might make a hull breach, i'll hog the hard suit just in case" So it ends up like engineering where the hard suits are gone when you need one. I would love to have them in the equipment room. I will take the chance of someone taking th...

In my opinion Mulligan only has a place in rounds that wouldn't end with the death of the main antagonist anyway. The reasoning behind mulligan is that rounds that have their antagonists killed shouldn't drag on without anything happening. In modes such as wizard,blob and malf it is EXACTLY causing ...

CPTANT

Balance -> wizard mode

HA.

CPTANT

yeah wizard and blob rounds usually have a very high casualty count. Its just not fun for a round to go on after half the crew has been ei'nath'ed.

CPTANT

I thought ghosting while alive prevented you from rejoining the round?

CPTANT

There are some ways to combat them though. Setting them on fire will kill them because they can't resist out of it. They don't regenerate health so they will lose in attrition. Also like I said being hit on armour prevent the poison being applied.

CPTANT

How about this reason: security doesn't need to be all powerful. yes making people wearing engineering hardsuits in space practically impervious to any form of security retaliation is definitely the way to go to balance security. 1) They still have to board the station to do any meaningful antagoni...

also is it me or does wearing armour prevent the spider from applying poison when you strike the body part covered by armour?

slowspace needs to die Also I made the inbuilt jetpacks for engineers who work outside the station so they can have jetpacks without looting EVA, I gave them to nukeops because i was asked to and I had no reason not to. Security is not meant to go outside the station, they're already fortunate in h...

So assholes in space will be even more difficult to deal with? I think all that needed to be done was removing slowdown if you were hurt/hungry. Yes and good. Space is one of the few fucking places where antags should be goddamn terrifying. Plus I've seen like 3 antags with jetpacks in the last yea...

Is it really that hard for people to not beat the shit out of everyone even hinting at valid and bring them to the brig for a change? Seriously, if there is no other threat (which there is quite often of course) and you can detain someone I see zero reason to not bring them to the brig. Not that I w...

CPTANT

To be honest I really dislike the "shoot first, instawin" combat the taser introduces, even though I frequently use it as sec. I would not mourn tasers being completely replaced by (buffed, more ammo or so) disablers. The problem isn't that sec is OP, it is that there are way to few traito...

patches on corpses is the issue. It feels stupid that completely fried husks get some band aids get defibbed and happily walk around again.

It seems the vast majority of 81% is for increasing it and most want even more tc. It would be a shame if nothing was to be done with this.

Why does a hand disabler require a firing pin but a heavy mech laser doesn't? RnD currently just floods the entire station with mechs if there is even 1 dedicated scientist working on it. Having mech weapons require firing pins would tone it a BIT down.

We need to stop judging all balance by the most competent people in the game we arent fucking starcraft. People almost never perfectly cook flashbangs also cooking is seriously risky with that lag and the huge stun you get when it blows up in your hand. Flashbangs are just necessary in certain situ...

CPTANT

don't forget there has been a huge buff to security

having antag roll before job has virtually doubled the average amount of officers and has improved their quality as well.

If you want to talk about toning down flashbangs, other offensive capabilities would have to be buffed to compensate Remove the fucking taser click delay, it is by far one of the worst things about electrodes right now Yes holy shit I feel like an ubrobust scrub when I'm chasing someone and I can't...

I have the feeling that people implementing this nerf only looked at the raw damage resists of armour and completely forgot that most armour only covers the head and torso, hits to limbs are very frequent. Bulletproof armour for example got rebuffed (IIRC). A whopping 80% damage reduction (OMG OP NE...

I think a purged AI should be treated like a positron brain.
