I realize I'm late to the party and I've barely touched SS13 in years but that won't stop me from having an opinion As long as silicons are bound by the main rules, they will always be defacto crew bound, because that's like 90% of the purpose of the main rules The main reason silicons are defacto c...

Sure the game is unplayable but at least we get to virtue signal about geopolitics

CDranzer

I mean if we're being real I'd solve this problem by forcing suit sensors on by default and giving security the ability to immediately tell when and where somebody was under attack But I have this view of SS13 being about antags vs security with the station being the supporting cast which conflicts ...

CDranzer

I would absolutely accept this if there was a more practical way to announce a threat without getting yourself killed.

CDranzer

HELP, SECURITY! I'M BEING ATTACKED BY oh never mind I'm in crit

CDranzer

Sure, let's give an antagonist a full security getup while also making security's job harder by removing their implicit authority.
I see no way this could end catastrophically for absolutely fucking everybody.

On the one hand, I'd lose my static that nobody even recognizes.
On the other had, the catgirl metagangs would be fucking obliterated.
This is a tough choice.

I think it depends on where you think the world is going

I have never once seen a round where there was no food available.

Does anybody have long-term player population metrics for tg as a whole Statbus only seems to go back 30 days Edit: Nevermind I found oranges data page , though it seems to be partially out of date and scales weirdly at the end due to what I can only imagine being the result of oranges not knowing h...

Seems pretty cool. Would be better than the cargo shuttle smuggling because it actually has some sort of impact on the round(removes the escape pod) and leaves conspicuous prints behind. Exactly, I hate how obvious it is to smuggle a object in cargo, usually you will get caught for that anyway Feat...

Although I have no real objection to it, this also feels like a non-issue Are there really hordes of trialmins accidentally activating secborgs? Is the secborg code really this enormous wart in the codebase? Are there various changes that people want to make to borgs but people keep going "shit...

I challenge anyone arguing against protected heads of staff to explain to me why security should be protected without using an argument that could also be applied to heads of staff. Security's job is to hunt antags. CMO, CE, RD, and HoP's job isn't to hunt antags. Security is antag-proofed because ...

snibbedy snab Right, so. You're clearly not a complete moron. Your attempts to balance the economy are well thought out, which should be obvious to anybody who took the time to read your post from top to bottom. Economies are interesting, but generally, we don't choose to have them. They manifest n...

CDranzer

I'm still not sure what the purpose of economy is meant to be. I mean that in the most literal sense. It feels like somebody just woke up one day and was like "Hey, economies are cool! Let's do us an economy" and that was the end of the idea, completely oblivious to the fact that economies...

All communists are bad people. It is not possible to be a communist and still be a moral human being. Communism is the most evil ideology of the 20th century, and is objectively worse than fascism by every metric of consequence. The only solution to communism is to find people who are communists and...

The only thing I've really noticed is that fire alarms are more temperamental.

I actually quite like the linear layout and I'm impressed by the actual technological achievement of a moving vehicle, but I fear once the novelty wears off it'll just be kind of awkward to navigate, and I anticipate the tram itself being an endless source of bugs that will eventually kill the map

CDranzer

Murderboning is about the least code-problem thing that I can think of in the game- unless we're going to remove everything that does damage, you can't stop it with code. Imagine coding a feature that gives a single player the tools to slaughter half the server unassisted and then saying it's a pro...

It'll probably go through a few update cycles because that's how these things always go, but you are correct in recognizing that this is ostensibly a nerf.

That's to say nothing of asking for the shuttle to be called for an OOC consideration ("I don't like donut"). My character canonically holds a distaste for D.O.N.U.T. Class Nanotresen Station Hull Models. He regards them as poorly designed and assembled, and suspects that the only reason ...

Maybe the scope of this thread is too small - I'm getting the impression that "Remove Box" is just the front face of a far bigger problem, namely "How should we handle multiple maps going forward". I wonder if discussion would have been this heated if the PR had been "Remove...

Actually on that note, hang on, isn't the map rotation technically a question of policy? Why would you be getting shit for that?

If only there was a word that meant whatever hyperbole means

In a cruel twist of fate I agree with oranges on this Nobody wants to play box Nobody wants to fix box Nobody wants to remove box So what the fuck is the alternative, leave it to rot in the codebase?

To clarify my original post - When I said "whitelist", what I should have said is "A separate list of job priorities for a given antag role". When I talk about a blacklist, I mean having it operate on top of the existing job priority system - so while you could technically make a...

The only thing I find objectionable about this is that Donut wasn't put on the chopping block first Box is old and clunky and buggy and has design issues It has a special place in all our hearts because it used to be The Station, but Meta and Delta are just objectively better at this point Duplicate...
