I like most of that but the explosion bit seems a bit excessive, there tends to be all too much explosions on the escape shuttle alongside all the griff. The upgradable part could be some scifi jargon engine part that can be upgraded with R&D parts or it could even be c4'd.

It'd be nice to be able to build & upgrade furnaces or similar machine or to have version of Ore Redemption Machine that doesn't require ID access. Building autismal stuff at Derelict/White ship would be greatly helped if non-miners could go and mine the small clown asteroid and use the material...

Their laws could be more clear and I personally hate the RNG when breaking certain stuff like Rwalls. Otherwise pretty solid stuff.

"What can you do about scientists breeding xenos?" Here's a hyperbole: You can order AI and security to vacate everyone from Science department, then you can space all the booze, demote all chemists, recycle all crew PDAs, send PA back to Centcomm, implant atmos techs and engineers with a...

I don't think there's any disagreement that borg has to try to at least communicate about the intentions. 99% borgs don't have time to do that since emagging is relatively fast and easy to do so it won't become a huge problem of "Emagging borgs is impossiburu", this was just a fringe case ...

It'd be neat if external airlocks and their vicinity had bars that people can use to move in/out without being constantly bumprobed by spacewind. You know, like actual space stations have bars on the walls so they can move about.

DAA could be adjusted a bit with slight changes. One way would be to have period between mutations where there wouldn't be any mutation going on. Another way would be to simply remove hulk from the cycle. There is a huge balancer in DAA already in place though; It's random. Sure, it's decent enough ...

AFAIK the timer for blob is wonky at the moment. For some reason there's no countdown timer for it like there is for literally everything else, resulting in blebs popping in hallways or having to be overcautious. Oldman made a very good point about blob victory being very tied to the population thre...

Additional virus icons Currently the icon for being infected is always the same regardless of the virus. It would be nice if there were at least 3 versions of the icon to show clearly if the virus is going to melt your face off while you're honking in your own puddle of blood, mildly annoying cough...

The whitelisting could be made slightly more automated by having rating system at the end of the round for team antags, something fairly simple like 3 star rating where 1 is negative, 2 is no opinion/didn't see/eh 3 is positive. Only the team antags could vote and it'd give a bit of statistical elem...

This has been an issue for a long time, I should know, I've been here all summer

I agree, sec is woefully poorly equipped for anything space-related, there's really no reason why the sec hardsuit shouldn't have internal jetpack. IIRC all the internal jetpacks already are slower than the proper ones. In my numerous space antaggings, it's mostly been the captain who gets me, never...

Give team antags separate leadership game preference button. That way you can have shorter timer on regular nuke op and longer for the boss, though the biggest impact would be that people who feel they're ready to play a boss role can choose to do so and people who know they don't know how to boss c...

The biggest problem I see with this is the previously mentioned "What if the boss is shit?" and this applies to other things aswell aside from just cult; xenos and nuke ops. Account age thing will not fix this, it might alleviate it slightly but it is not a fix as I can personally say I ha...

Yes and yes to both. The antag timer wouldn't give really any metagamey feelings if it's subtle enough. It should just increase the chance mildly, not force it. Also having some kind of timer bonus from playing security would give incentive for players to play that more often and it'd sort of counte...

I always loved Asteroid Station though I think some of the discontent came from some buggy elements it had back in the day.

Having gateway working with interesting locations would alleviate some of the issues, AI cannot do anything in gateway places and in space beach, nobody can hear you being strangled. I don't know if 30tc would help that much, it'd just make all antags buy all the good shit and be able to bring down ...

It does seem like few of the new updates have not taken into account the old boxy map. Fastmos and pipecrawling both are very very dangerous. With Fastmos suffocating/melting everyone is a lot more easier than it used to be, which isn't really a bad thing in itself but it shows how box wasn't design...

I don't see why we wouldn't need new jobs desperately right now since there's the Assistant cap. Also as said before, bioengineering could be just implemented by adding more pre-existing job slots and refurnishing their lab. Botany for example is pretty boring if you're not growing antag shit. Sure,...

Trying to 'fix' roundstart suicide is indeed just trying to patch a symptom rather than the disease, not to mention that it will be difficult to enforce. Sure, adding some inconviniences with code to commiting suicide at roundstart might reduce the amount of roundstart suicides, but it will probably...

Of course the Bioengineering could be just implemented to Chemistry or Botany, probably Botany since it has less players in general. Either way I think that utilizing virology with plants would bring more life to hydroponics and potentially bring more augments and implants. Perhaps turn Hydro into m...

I thought that only "ID Console" access on a card allowed any and all usage of ID consoles which only HoP and Cap have by default. Never heard of other head having ID console access in any form.

Alternatively, use paper and booze instead of damp rag, seeing as there aren't really that many damp rags to go around.

I like the lockdown idea for all departments, but having individual rooms APCs shut off etc seems a bit too spesific and unneeded. If chemist is making lube even after CMO tells not to make it, there's always security to handle it or telescopic baton. To me the overly spesific item can enable powert...

Ideally there'd be a system that would determine if HoP can be antag (or how much more unlikely it is) depending on skeleton/full crew and the amount of heads and if there's a captain. Alternatively or additionaly, antag heads would have one additional objective to reflect how easy it is to traitor ...

New job that would encompass Service and Medical with a hint of Science. Idea is that the Bioengineer would be able to produce more advanced medicine, plants and implants using existing chems, plants and tech. Not a fully fledged system but here's few neat things a Bioengineer could potentially do: ...

Well, there are intercoms that you can set to eavesdrop which kinda does this, though I think it should be a purchaseable thing rather than free.

Virology doesn't need any more reason to be mistrusted and there are already tons of nasty stuff they can make without any silly crate viruses. Spreading at least three different viruses with necrosis, hyphema and spontaneous combustion that are cured by lepo/gold is already easy to make. Theoretica...

Most active/nonboring rounds usually last only 30ish minutes and if the round goes over it, there's going to be tons of ghosts with absolutely jack shit to do aside from drones, potentially posibrains, simplemobs or golems. I doubt the average active round lasts only 30 minutes, because that's abou...

The orginal Space Valhalla would work, I'd go there. I agree that it does give extra incentive for people to join for job and suicide for not getting antag etc. But that can be amended pretty much completely by having the Space Valhalla open when round has been going for some arbitrary time like 30 ...

1. Tiers for protolathe item list. This would only affect how the items are listed. Currently the list seems to be in the order in which you researched them which does help researching a small bit, but ends up a clusterfuck when research is done. Something simple like average of all the required tec...

I suggest that there is additional antag toggle for the first alien larva (queen). To my understanding, many players have alien toggled on so that when there is a full blown infestation, they can return to game as aliens. Problem arises when there is no full blown infestation, there is only one, the...
