Re: Flashbangs

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...

Theoretically yes. In practice, the RD sometimes does because of his access to cool toys and ability to deal with a rogue AI. The CMO, however, is just a doctor with a few upgrades.

Re: Datum Based Antags Design Document (WIP/Preview)

You can think of "threat" as a currency of antags, its based on active players right now. How feasible is it for different crew roles to be worth different amounts of threat? I imagine that heads of staff and security might be more relevant than clowns when measuring the station's ability...

Re: Datum Based Antags Design Document (WIP/Preview)

I don't like the Hijacker. If the current Security-changing plans/PRs go through, escaping alone might once again be a viable objective for a regular, 20TC traitor. I also dislike the Changelings, but that's because I dislike the way /tg/ does lings in general. They shouldn't be traitors with superp...

Re: Economy [XHUIS EDITION]

I don't want an economy because I see exactly two ways of it playing out: - Either it's useless because you can't actually buy anything with it or can find anything you would want to buy, in which case it will only matter for traitor objectives, which I don't consider a good enough reason to include...

Re: Armour Nerfs

I dunno where the idea that a single officer "should" have a massive advantage over a single traitor comes from anyway. It shouldn't take a massive amount of planning to kill the rank and file or else only the best players can dare do anything overt lest they be quickly swarmed by invinci...

Re: Your favourite job and why!

I used to love being a citizen of Cargonia, but recently I've had nothing but long-ass boring rounds where nobody even came near Cargo except to murderbone and my colleagues were either incompetent or just didn't care, so now I kind of hate being there. My current favourite is Medical Doctor. It's a...

Re: Screenshots General

Based on the filename I assume it is the new microbomb implants when you stack 20 of them *macrobomb No it was actually the microbomb, a mistake in the coding meant they only cost 1TC and each was almost as powerful as a macrobomb. Not almost. What happened was that goofball typoed and switched up ...

Also, in tabletop games, RPing is how you get shit done. In SS13, RPing will prevent you from getting shit done.

Why don't you roleplay more often? Because I'd much rather be doing stuff than talking about doing stuff. Especially since I'm not a particularly fast typer.

I usually throw rev heads in the gulag, either their corpses or when they're alive, speciically for the purpose of using it as a non lethal option towards rev heads. Surprised it isn't used more, especially by revs. Cuffing a head and putting them in an orange jumpsuit before throwing them in the g...

Re: AI laws and purging

Which is really weird. It makes sense for malf/traitor, since those are integral elements of the current gamemode and it would be really cheap if the station were able to win a round just by purging and Asimoving the AI, but onehuman is something uploaded during the round by someone.
