Started up my professional diagramming software to visualize one of the main issues I have with silicon policy. Be warned though, it may be difficult to understand without knowledge of the LePUS3 object-oriented modeling language. Current state as I see it: https://imgur.com/QtgvrJl The state I wou...

I have some general feedback on department budgets. I don't feel like they enhance gameplay. Sharing the same budget constraint is an interesting dynamic. It creates dilemmas when two different goods are requested. It also removes some of the duties cargo would normally perform, like seeking permis...

I imagine that you need either a "VR Safe" spellbook or have pre-set spell allotments to avoid shenanigans such as Summon Guns/Magic/Ghosts, (S)Laughter Demons, Teleportation, and apprentices. not much of an issue seeing as that was done for uplinks (otherwise you could get a frame cart, ...

That's basically what our silicon policy is now, with crap cut out. You have to let the RD or Captain change your laws unless you have a specific reason to think they're harmful. That's part of 6 and 6.1. You can deny with probable cause and 'not having access as part of their job' is probably caus...

1: use common sense, the armory has weapons and greyshirts frequently target it, plus a broken lightbulb isn't a real problem Jesus man, reading comprehension. It's not about the light bulb. WarbossLincoln's proposal had these two statements: - You are only allowed to deny access to an area when th...

>can't make an excuse for silicon policy
hahahahahhahaha
Just say you're hardcoded to interpret a lack of upload access as likely harm

>OOC policy shouldn't override laws
Well good luck with either AIs that lock everything down to stop harm or lawsets that you need a law degree to understand

somerandomguy

1: use common sense, the armory has weapons and greyshirts frequently target it, plus a broken lightbulb isn't a real problem
2: heads of staff (especially the captain) are vetted heavily, otherwise you get "captain secedes from NT" shifts

somerandomguy

Anything else falls under Law 1. Except, that it doesn't. CE doesn't get access to upload. You can deny entry. I can only assume you haven't read my post or I am so bad at getting my point across... Asimov law: You cannot pull the law 1 card and thus must allow access. <--- !!! ---> Policies: You c...

I'd say it's from the moment cloning begins; however, corpses are not human and cloning a known traitor without being ordered to is not something an Asimov cyborg would be doing. A real Asimov cyborg would destroy cloning because it allows more humans to be made, thus, more humans to be harmed. Tha...

somerandomguy

Bleh. I used to be this kind of AI, vigorously preventing any harm even when it would be more fun to feign ignorance They probably cloned the person because they felt an obligation to "undo" the harm Also when someone is cloned they become a new living mob/living/carbon/human, thus being h...

horrid anime faces. https://i.imgur.com/S0CtQl1.jpg Anime faces are definitely better. With the highly stylized ones it might be the case that you need to have consumed a lot of less stylized anime to appreciate them.

snip Yeah this seems to be a problem with how money is generated. again, steal from goonconomy. Limit the resources. Make research points worth significantly less dosh, possibly 1/100th of a dosh so you end up with around 300 credits a minute passive generation to the RnD budget. Make removing dosh...

if they found it because of the sensors alone then that's on the ops
if the sensors were turned off and the shuttle moved, or they didn't even check sensors then that's breaking the rule

In case anyone was unaware, the bottle sells for a whole lot through cargo. I might be misremembering, but I think it's worth like 30,000 credits? That's enough to instantly unlock a few shuttles, a couple crates of pizza or even buy a null crate. The only options for the bottle aren't "use if...

Budget cards need to go. Give control over budgets to the HoP from a static console like goonstation. Make an announcement if the pay budgets get depleted so people know to lynch the HoP or strike due to lack of pay if they decide to spend the station's budget on corgi crates. yeah can someone remo...

Dead game mode is dead. its a waste of good spriting to throw away clockcult, it can definitely be repurposed in some way and yog is hosting it if you want to see how its going thus far. IMO the community whined too much about being one (robust) or the other (unrobust). besides, whats harder, repur...

Yeah commits are there but most people won't bother to look at that or search it
Plus most of the documentation is usually in a pr, so if that gets erased you have a literal undocumented feature that people will probably think is a bug

They did change it to only keep ckey (but it was to fix a number of bugs rather than for wiz VR) so this is totally possible

My friend bought this for me as a thanks for helping him with something. It's pretty boring AND buggy. Had to tweak the config file to unlock the FPS cap, turn off vsync, and fix the FOV.

It is unfortunate that there is no real 'science' in the science department. We get a glorified cow breeder, a bomb maker and a button pusher.

If we are concerned that slower speed will make stun weapons far more powerful, we could examine reworking stun weapons to not be as instantly a 1 hit win. Perhaps making it that a standard ranged stun will, if you take a shit, knock you on the ground and slow you down but not stop you from moving....

I'm not paying ~£60 for an MMO, let alone one that doesn't even encrypt your connection to the server or have client-side cheat detection. That is the *height* of laziness to me. It would have been a superior product if it wasn't multiplayer, and then it would just be plain old boring, instead of b...

Any Borg that can get the flash stun has other methods of locking you down anyway or can flat valid you, so the cuffs aren't really the underlying problem. This is true, any borg has a sort of unconventional way of stunning that goes along with their flash. Not all of them are decent though. If the...

I find the Legion data to be questionable. I rarely see anyone activate Legion, much less kill it, in the many hours I play weekly. Bubblegum, on the other hand, is killed almost every round.
