Re: Simple Questions Thread

They all behave the same way. You put them on and select the disguise through the relevant HUD icons, they're all lightly armoured but be warned that just because you disguise your exosuit/helmet as a hardsuit: Doesn't mean it'll protect you from the vacuum of space. A couple things to note: If pla...

Re: Tesla needs to be toned down

I feel like the core risks and benefits of each power source need to be distinct and proportional to the power generated. Tesla is less destructive than singulo, and as such should generate less power than it. I find the implication that the difference in power generated is meaningful in any way ab...

Re: engineering needs more shit to do

Semi related again, but hey. Increase the energy drain of everything, so shit can't last on apc power for so long (seriously, it can last bloody ages). This could also potentially remove the infinite power via recharging batteries thing, depending on high high power drain gets buffed. This has the ...

Re: engineering needs more shit to do

if you add more busy work it doesn't really give the engineers the ability to improve the station for the crew, or to interact much. they just walk around in maintenance wordlessly fixing stuff that's so small that nobody notices it's much less fun than "engineering team descends on medbay to ...

Re: engineering needs more shit to do

Hm. What about having a new machine that links to the RnD network for research levels and only prints machine upgrade parts or something? Throw that in Engineering, then they'd have something else to do, no? Also, while mousecut is hella annoying, it does make sense. What about a water distribution...

Re: engineering needs more shit to do

If Engineering is responsible for building and maintaining machines, step one is giving them a way to manufacture parts. R&D is de facto in charge of that because nobody else has the tools necessary to construct machines. To incentivise Engineering to actually perform the upgrade work, it would ...
