MODsuits are, conceptually cool. In practice, though, they're just a worse version of Bay hardsuits, mainly because of how much of a fucking pain they are to use. On Bay, hardsuits can be taken on and off partially, without deactivating the whole thing, or at least for the helmet. This may seem like a minor thing, since many of the other features are pretty much the same, but it's actually quite important. It makes using MODsuits in combat kind of suicidal unless you have patches. And yeah, sure, you can...

Heads of staff should provide their reasoning for shuttle calls in the shuttle call. Too many times I have seen someone call the shuttle with reason: It's time to go home or similar when they find out it's revs or there's a blob or something. This isn't about calling the shuttle for no reason, but about calling the shuttle without providing the reason, and it's reaching NRP levels at this point. Crap shuttle call reasons should be actionable and made clear it isn't allowed, unless a singulo or somethint is...

Whenever I move/walk around, after a couple of seconds my ping spikes to from 200-250 to 1000-3000. As far as I can tell this only seems to occur on TG servers as I flew around as a ghost on goon for a while and my ping didn't rise. Any help would be appreciated!

So, I was thinking, what are the biggest issues with the Sybil playerbase? There are 4:

-Validhunting
-Metagrudging
-Not minding their own god damn business
-Murderboning

So, I then thought okay, how can we fix these issues? Then I remembered left 4 dead 1. In the developer commentary (which I'm probably the only person to have gone through) they mentioned that the boomer was created when, during playtesting, they realized that the meta for players was to just shoot literally everything that moved.

Roleplaying isn't (or at least it shouldn't be) having a polite conversation with someone. What happened to paranoia? Are people not comfortable hating or disliking someone in character but not out of character?
People don't want to offend others, people don't want to make people dislike them OCC. Whenever one person is trying to kill another person they usually try to be funny to show that out of character they are not serious and don't dislike you. This sucks for immersion. The MRP rules certainly aren't...

The Set Up
I've been watching breaking bad, and damn disposing bodies in acid is pretty badass. We already have a ton of acids in the game, so perhaps when we could utilize one of the higher grades (Fluorosulfuric Acid or Nitric) to turn some would be carcasses into organic slurry. Certainly a more fun and creative method of disposing of bodies rather than cutting off their head and putting it into a locker.

The Problem
Now, we don't really have any vats or tubs that can store chemicals in the game....

every time a revanent roles it is a malice to the fun of the round, random killing, spacing the stations air supply, and emagging every bot happens every time a revanent roles.
i think these are generally bad for the round because whereas with a traitor or blood brother, you will mostlikely have _some_ interaction with them, but with revanents all you can do is watch as your department or project is destroyed, and maybe all of this would be fine if they couldnt communicate with ghosts, revanents bring out...

Haven't you ever had a desire to eat something very specific? Instead of just fried food or insert food catagory that your species likes .

Well, the idea is that here, a non-intrusive neutral moodlet will appear mentioning that you feel like eating a specific food, for instance, A pizza that contains tomato sauce. You can eat the exact qualified pizza for a great mood buff, or you can eat just any pizza for a decent mood buff, or you can just eat tomato sauce for an okay mood buff or something.

If your burnt out and still playing the game. It is only a times away before you do something that'll get you banned or in the admins sights. Therefore, I've found a few underused things in the game that get little to no attention throughout the rounds. Here are some of them.

1. Helpful Kudzu. Did you know kudzu can be used for actual good? I doubt it, since the only people who make it are antags or random events! If used for good, it can spread light everywhere, absorb plasma and co2 in the air, and act...

I haven't seen phazons or the two BOH reactions in a year.

Whens the last time you've seen an end-game anomaly item?

I understand why things are like this. But when the gating mechanic itself is a powerful mechanic (Bomb making) it only leads to it being changed everytime the playerbase can figure it out.

Should definitely be changed to something else, or have some sort of alternative that temporarily unlocks end-game anomaly content.

Banned because while i was running around being fucking murdered for most of the round for my id, i was supposed to be checking on the sec team making a bomb for the ai?
listen if you put a cool button in front of a man and point to it and say its for the ai without explicitly stating it was a bomb im gonna push send signal, why would you give me a bomb after i have been atacked multiple times.
I had no idea it was a bomb and didnt know what i thought it was but my adhd brain saw button and pushed it.

You have to examine yourself and click on a small underlined text-line in the chatbox while chat is constantly filling up with new words and your probably still being attacked by whatever hit you with the embedded item. You also have to find a safe place to stand still and take the item out, and then take damage again for taking it out.

Shouldn't such a reoccuring source of damage be an action button instead? Like how the adrenaline state works.

Inspired by rim worlds drug system, you can now build up a tolerance to drugs. For gameplay purposes, this should probably only apply to drugs and other nieche chems (maybe posions) instead of all/most chemicals (you could get away with it on some, but it wouldn't make sense for things like acid or synthflesh).
Tolerance is measured on a scale from 0%-95%, and is tied to your liver. Your tolerance towards a certain drug increases as you take it, and decreases under the effects of chemicals, or liver...

Recipes are inaccurate now, upon which all of your chems will turn into useless goop that isn't what it says it is. If you want the right recipe, you gotta know the secret meta combination. Or find a video of how to accurately make it on youtube.

It's understandable that we want more depth in chemistry, but it could really use some easier in-game guidance. So players don't have to build...
