If it makes you feel any better, the OD was an oversight. We intended to purge entirely upon first tick of OD but lacked the knowledge to make our code work, so we settled on increased metabolism rate. When someone noticed the original OD (which was 40dmg) we adjusted it, tried not to over-balance, ...

yes, the hop exists as a role. the hop doesnt always exist as a played character however. The purpose of this is to make it easier for people to assist, and whilst you personally use assistant as a meme, I don't think that can extend to most of the server. for example, I dont.

christ110

Irl, we tax cigarettes and give out tax breaks for charitable donations. A problem was brought up in the community meeting that assistants are kinda shitters. We can use negative reinforcement to attempt to curb poor behavior, but lets instead make it easier for assistants to help others. I propose ...

i like grazyn. they play a cute liz which i once hung out with. :>~

3/4th is one of, if not the most autistic methods of displaying items in this game. It can't handle depth at all, and has mostly been an excuse to PR shittier sprites in just because "much 3/4ths."

Wjohn should be canned for this dumpster fire of a direction.

christ110

Hey Yoshi, this still in development or has it hit development hell?

christ110

That's how x-ray used to work, imo

christ110

maybe we could add a special mulebot, that is specifically for hauling ores, and it automatically dumps a specified amount of ores from the orm replacement directly into the dept autolathe, so the normal crew doesnt have to deal with ores, unless you're trying to steal the ores. then we can have the...

YES, BRING BACK TELESCIENCE, FUCK THESE USELESS LAUNCHPADS.

christ110

nah, just 5 or 10 wizards, with no objectives other than be a wizard.
that will give us all the chaos that wizard rounds demand.

christ110

Wizard rounds in their current form are not fun. the wizard is encouraged to murderbone, since this is the effectively the one time this year that they will get to play wizard, and everyone despises friendly wizards. one wizard vs 70 crewmembers is not the clusterfuck that wizard was meant to be, si...

christ110

yakumo,
what if we give the weapons a small internal cell, enough for maybe one or 2 shots, and then have it trigger energy consumption from the power pack.

then we can enable the crew to use inducers to power these weaponry, and if its disarmed, they have one or 2 shots before its useless.

christ110

its ded jim,

for the next hour an a half!

christ110

>when hits gets to take bites-the-sheets on a date
>when hits asks for a show

christ110

yakumo, this is balanced by the crew's objectives changing. instead of killing the cult to win, they just have to survive.
besides, we just remove rev and replace it with this, and remove ling because ling is cancer, and thats an instant 200% improvement to the codebase.

christ110

Just remove revive, or limit it (like, twice in a round) and suddenly lings become less of an issue.

christ110

ehhh... the real problem with lings is killing them, imo. them being only killable via this massive painful process is wrong. just let lings (and only lings so its also a soft-tell) have their corpses turned to remains if they're on fire for a while after being dead. its very shitty when you're stuc...

christ110

Thanks bman for that autistic masterpiece.
+100

christ110

i still want this to exist, really really badly now that i've seen it.
and yes, shadow, you're right.

christ110

this as a replacement for rev, seems like a pretty awesome idea, not to mention it would be fun having a lot more guns and mechs for admemes to spawn in during gimmicks. also, this meme of hating on conversion modes needs to stop. as long as changeling exists the way it does, we have worse gamemodes...

Add a bluespace routing Machine to engineering that sucks up power (so much that it has to be wired into the engine) to keep the pipes running, add channels, and have the required power for the router increase as channels are added.

christ110

so, to make repairs be not instantanious like chrono-grenades or construction bombs from robustin's proposed GBP system, but less tedious for most people, i suggest the addition of a new robot. it can be made from robotics, and is either made by upgrading a floorbot, or in a more advanced fasion lik...

>just give miners science access
slibbery slobe, someone call in goofball

christ110

thats actually... a fun idea.
you could even allow the captain ask for an emergency shipment, which is a shuttle docking at the ferry/gulag/whiteship dock that is carrying guns for security, except it costs an arm and a leg compared to cargo gun prices.

christ110

so, engineering gets a borg, medbay gets a borg, sec gets a shitty borg, the janitor gets a borg, and the service dept gets a borg, but what about the science dept? i propose a scientific borgi! it has the capability of utilizing xenobio consoles and smartfridges and has the following tools: syringe...

christ110

i feel conflicted over this since
1, it does have a purpose in-game. when im a miner, and some scientist hands me a hyper-cap, i get really, really happy.
2, its the only science dept involving real science, and actual experimentation.
but
1, it does nothing but end the round early in most games

christ110

its a pseudo freeze, its a freeze on antag content. stuff for non-antags that can be used for reasons other than hunting/killing antags are allowed. this falls outside the limits of the content frozen by the freeze.

christ110

Still hate it, just like i expected myself to hate it.

christ110

why is this such an issue? like, i was given a 1000pts sentance for a bullshit reason and worked it off in like, 10 minutes. i just mined into walls whilst mining the ground for glass, it was almost -dare i say it- calming.

christ110

also, now that i think about it, this prolly belongs in the shitty ideas thread, no?
i am serious... but it sounds like a crap idea.

christ110

So, to keep in line with their real-life counterparts, what if our lizard players re-grow their tail after having lost it?
maybe, we could do something like the lizard must be overfed, and fat for 10+ minutes to re-grow their tail.
thoughts?

You cannot prevent them helping themselves. hold my oxytank that would allow you to break out of brig. the best i could do is try to break the glass, and get shocked by the grill, critting me. alternatively, uncuff me and put me in perma, or gulag. all valid options. break the door. i'm not permabr...

you did leave me cuffed inside the brig, that is preventing me from helping myself when i am dying, and need to get my suit on, or hold my oxytank in my bag.

if sec wishes to enforce space law to the fullest, they should also read the last section.

again, this is so minor, and i lost interest to the point where i would just unban them.

tbh, i was the lizard player who died, and i will state 2 things. 1, this is getting old. you got better stuff to do during a ling round. you should know this. 2, you could have taken my jumpsuit out of my duffelbag, and put it on me, then put the oxy tank. its not hard. that being said, i do not be...

let me explain, that because of this snowballing, security is encouraged to begin mass antag checking asap.
kor is right in that its not fun to fight against cults, because they snowball too much.

christ110

Creating situations where a Human could come into harm is stlll violating Law 1. Potential harm is still a Law 1 risk, without it, AIs wouldn't have a leg to stand on when it comes to not releasing everyone in the perma brig (Silicon policy states that releasing a perma brig prisoner without securi...

christ110

I think this largely boils down to our issue of playing an antag is generally viewed upon as more fun than playing as a non-antag so for everyone except security and the chaplain, the crew doesnt care about whichever snowball convert mode we have. We could fix this by making antags less fun (bad ide...

Nilons, telling an emagged borg to go do whatever, is like 1-human'ing the ai and telling it to go do whatever. there's a 90% chance that it will flood the station with plasma, if it can lock you in a closet, and keep you safe from harm. doesn't the hacked ai module come with a warning to be very sp...

how does law 1 cause a syndicate agent to come to harm? the robits own life is covered via law 4, so we can extrapolate that the borg isn't a syndicate agent. unless you're argueing that potential harm can occur if i am unborged, in which case, thats a whole new policy thread worth making because i ...
