As a recent malf AI who was moved by a cyborg and subsequently BWOINKED (as I agreed with the plan and didn't realise that some people consider it an exploit), can't we just rebalance it somehow?

I'm seeing a lot of negative feedback in this thread - a combination of "I miss our old medicines", "Toxins are waaay too powerful" and "Everything is broken", and a lot of it. I think it's pretty clear where the community's heart is. Props to Dezzmont for being rationa...

Suggestion - guns made in R&D are pinless, lockboxless, easy to derive research from. Firing pins are a protolathable item, requiring mid-level combat research...

...and they come in a lockbox, with high security access required.

Can't we just get some of our stalwarts back, at least? Tricord, bicard, derma, dex? What's wrong with the idea of using Star Trek-themed chemicals?

AnonymousNow

I don't think there is a way for me to fully articulate how much I haaaaaaaate this change and the removal of our standard chemicals over the internet, so I'm not going to try. All I will say to that end is that it is, personally, my most despised change in the history of SS13, to the degree that I ...

It is, hypothetically. If you want to trip on mindbreaker and take a fuckton of radloss. The delivery method is important, though. I don't know how the shard is transported, or how it arrives, what effects it has, how it can be safely handled etc. Logic dictates that you teleport that bastard/send ...

I'm posting this here and not the Simple Questions thread, because it's not a simple question and pertains to an aspect of the game associated primarily with engineering.

Is it possible to use a supermatter shard as The Best Mining Charge?

I feel that rather a lot of features are getting nixed for the sake of change - several things I've grown fond of in my time here. The "It's bugged/unbalanced? Just remove it" mindset I've seen in some instances is, frankly, alarming.

Wizard receives 60s cooldown spell that makes a shell when he decides to buy soulstone belt. And I just explained that the shell was probably found in cult nest raided by security.

What I was really asking was - how do you get the shell?

AnonymousNow

Despite the long time I've been playing, I've never had the opportunity to actually do this, so - how do you go about making constructs? I thought there was something limited to wizards and cultists, but apparently even security can find a shell somehow. What's the process? What do you do from the p...

Funfact: I did code MedHud sunglasses years ago but they were rejected - granted the code for them wasn't very good. Dayum. Maybe it's just a case of reverse-engineering the secHUD glasses code? I'm not going to say "I could do that", because for all my luck I'll look at the code and my b...

So I was scraping through the archives when I came across some old ideas of mine and confirmed what I'd always believed - I used to be a genius. Many of these make more sense now that features are around to support them better. - A Raise Dead spell, which can be used on any remains. If the original ...

Thread necro, because the alternative is making a new thread. I want an event that really brings the crew together to the best of its abilities, and I've thought of one.

I actually like the idea of them making RIGs - but it needs to only become an option after a lot of work, such as a good mining haul and the best parts available. Also, one of the captain's items is made out of assistant leather. Allow it, when emagged, to skin humans. EDIT: I thought I read every p...

More cult options, huh? How about arcane spellcasting? Have certain spells be available if enough blood-research, or whatever, is done towards it. Maybe that'd require more steps and balancing, though. Alternate endgame goals for cultists would be great, too. What about a sort of super-construct oth...

I think it's important - hence why I posted it - but it needs to be balanced. Hence only one module of each type per cyborg, but that would be sufficient to add functionality to cyborgs.

Ugh, changing department colours. I got sick of green medbay quickly; I'm so glad it went blue instead.

Then again, science could do with having a little more purple in their clothing. I like the roboticists' jumpsuits, but it might work better with purple instead of red.
