Lasers and tasers can also be soft countered by using an IC command, but that doesn't make them any less hampering or deadly.

/s what is this shitposting thread?

These are all really good ideas, particularly putting the hive into disarray and discouraging murderbone-mode in exchange for hide-and-seek. How about a "hive life-cycle" of sorts? Hivemind is disabled. All eggs die. All aliens take a big hit to their stored plasma and plasma regen rate. ...

I'd prefer a longer molting period for a would be queen if the previous one died. Something akin to Shadowling hatching where the cocoon is vulnerable and the hive would need to protect and safeguard their new leader while they morph and evolve for a 2-5 minute window, making them exceptionally vuln...

Why does a taser need to the perfect counter to everything in the game? The parasites can't stun you, you can't stun the parasites. Why does every new antag introduced need to be outright immune to basic combat and robustness? You can't stun the parasite. You cant trip the parasite. You can't weake...

Lack of power can certainly throw the balance of the game, especially during stuff like Rev or Gang rounds where people are making strongholds. RNG mousebite can cut power, and your medbay revfort wont be any good when it loses power. Mouse chews are just a very low key version of meteors if you ask...

After the last few rounds I played or observed, I'm more convinced than ever that holos need a serious nerf or change. 1) Stuns and non-damaging effects on the parasite should transfer to the owner. No question about it, the stun immune just makes it so the parasite can shield its owner from stuns a...

Halo 4 was so staggeringly entirely completely and wholly irredeemably awful that it killed my enthusiasm for what was surely the most beloved series of my younger years. Feels fucking bad, but i would sooner eat dog shit than play another awful halo game. Not to mention i could not possibly justif...

Abductors killing people is... no. I don't even consider them antags. The crew certainly doesn't like them and people get their valids at the chance to kill one and steal his shit, but if they are working together properly most crew won't be able to do much more than slap one upside the head before ...

Dimmest is most realistic But if we're going with lore and we are near a sun, the sort-of bright but not brightest option edit: which considering we have solars seems to make sense If its bright enough to burn Shadowlings/Shadowpeople it should be bright enough to light up areas close to windows be...

Back to topic of threat, I feel that once a minute would be fine, or once every 30 ish seconds or so. I do like the box, and flap crawling is just hilarous and clever, since most flaps have windoors opposite of them anyways its probably not the stealthiest way inside of an area and certainly won't b...

My only question is does the mouse take damage like a person not wearing gloves when biting a wire with +100kW flowing through it? On rounds where I'm given free reign in Engineering it can easily be 2 million or more. That little mouse should instantly be cooked and edible by someone who doesn't mi...

Parasite needs to be more heavily tied to the summoner, with Disablers/Tasers/Stun Baton hits stunning the traitor. Making the sprite phase out or randomly teleport (as reactive armor) when the traitor is stunned would be one way to help balance them out a bit. That or the traitor being stunned/inca...

It's impossible for one person to handle all the responsibilities of xeno. It's, at the bare minimum, a two person job, and the person on slime processing duty is in for the most grueling monotony of their lives. We've a machine that extracts slime cores now, and have for like... a year? I can do x...

The only major change to cult that actually fucked it up was the "no research" change. Before it took significant TIME, SKILL, and EFFORT to get to talisman spam mode. That filter was a huge part of preventing most cults from snowballing. Now you can poop out as many talismans as you want...

If the admins ARE saying that bombs have legit uses, they need to be listed and clearly stated with no uncertain terms. Anyone remember when admins were allowed to use their judgement on a situation-by-situation basis? When all the admins are on the same page and will treat most, if not all, situat...

It really seems like that if bombing a murderboning wizard is a bannable offense, then toxins and bombs have no legit/valid use for non-antags and should be moved to syndilink. If the admins ARE saying that bombs have legit uses, they need to be listed and clearly stated with no uncertain terms. Bom...

The ling should be a side antag focusing in stealth and subtly. This combat-soloing a full security + ert is bullshit. lings were based on John Carpenter's 'The Thing', stop trying to make this Prototype.

These ban is... well shit. We can get banned now for getting valids for salads because of OOC/Meta knowledge we aren't allowed to know? Are we not allowed to shoot known changlings apart now too because they don't have an armblade or emp screech? That's exactly what the gist of this sounds like, val...

Stupid idea inbound that admittedly breaks the win/lose condition of abandoning the station. What ifs... the Shuttle automatically arrived at the 13:30-14:15 mark? Random, of course, no notice and no recall. Once the shuttle has arrived, loyal crew has 5 minutes to board before it leaves. If a Loyal...

I'd rather see Xenobio be more !SCIENCE! and less watching the lab animals fuck reproduce asexually. Something of a cross between genetics DNA modifiers and the Experimenter would be nice. Reduce grey slime mutate chances a bit (or just start of Xenobio with a stabilizer extract) so they are used pr...

Given that Buries is a miner who prefers to operate and exosuit, probably die of boredom the robotcisist is too dumb to program laws into the borgs and winds up getting murdered by a rogue borg. Otherwise mine shit, scream at medical for more bandages and patches, scream at science for mining charge...

Its an adorable little corgi that can wear hats.

WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?!

Hostage taking requires RP from you, your hostage and any group interested in getting your hostage out alive. As it stands, nobody on the server will RP, especially if a valid presents themself, and security doesn't give a shit if they kill you AND the hostage, they'll just clone them. Maybe. If you...

Doesn't this kind of remove the point of the Cult? 2 of the major objectives they currently have right now are built around conversion. Either survive with x acolytes on the shuttle or summon Nar'sie after getting 9 people, constructs don't count for any of this. Cult isn't the problem, its the fact...

spawning those securtrons in the middle of a round to fuck with a traitor was inexcusable though As it was already stated, it was a low pop round and the antag was murdering people basicaly at round start while the HoP line was going on. That is to say, potentially ruining an entire round for 5+ pe...

The fact that you admit you were murderboning at all only makes me wish it was buttskies instead. There is a lot of ways to have fun as an antag and still be violent or keep the crew on edge. Arming up on weapons and just waltzing about the halls and killing everyone you see isn't fun to play with....

Well, I was trying head surgery, but I couldn't get it to work and we just sawed the damn thing to death as it kept shrieking at us to deafen us. Really really really hate surgery drapes now because my partner had them in the inventory and had to flail for 5-10 minutes trying to get her to drop the ...

Question, is it even fucking possible to remove Chitin armor? The other day in robotics we had a ling brought to us (cuffed) and where attempting to remove the brain because fuck infinite healing PoS. But after trying every surgery and all the tools on the ling, nothing would work to cut away the ch...

Getting lots of borgs requires a series of unlikely events to happen to allow the borgs to exsist in the first place. That said, there is no hard limit that I'm aware of an in some cases a traitor RD or Roboticist can forceborg a lot of people and emag them to amass an army of borgs. This is a prett...

Ripleys are not Optimal, but they are pretty decent in the early game for mining when RnD isn't being done for some dumb reason. They do good bulk mining, clearing out iron ore patches, and can hold a lot, more still if you swap out the scanner for an energy relay. But, you'll never out do a plasma ...

Botany: Just give botany some form of mutagen right off the bat, whether its from a dispenser or a few bottles. Botanists almost universally always get mutagen from Chemistry, and sometime's they're just too busy to handle the bullshit plant experiments. And when they are not, they dont usually hav...
