What did the amazing orange do this time that people credit him saving the world? Also that video seems about right Aggressive diplomacy and appearing to be someone who will follow through on threats. He pressured China hard, to the point where they finally relented and enforced sanctions. Naval bl...

World War III is off boys. Also, Trump 99% gets re-elected now.

To keep this from being "mechanical ling", we could make the abilities emphasize computers/technology/etc. rather than biological stuff. Hacking airlocks and terminals, short range EMPs, fabricating items, etc.

Luke Cox

Everyone will be relieved to know that I'm afraid to try my custom SM setups again after I did the exact same setup two rounds in a row, with different results

Luke Cox

Not a bad idea. I'd love to see it fleshed out.

Luke Cox

Paying for slots gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment

Luke Cox

Trying to be lenient as HoS

Also, showing Respii mercy

Luke Cox

Completely tossing Clock Cult would be a huge waste given how much code and artwork is done for it. I'd love to see it get a rework someday, but I have a feeling that it should stay on the back burner for a while, at least until we have a few new non-conversion antags in rotation.

Of all the coders you could call out for not playing, Kevinz is one of the worst choices.

Luke Cox

Granted, traitor(Chan) still accounts for a disproportionately large number of rounds

Luke Cox

Forgive the forbidden double post, but I've gotten some more feedback on this via discord. I've updated the OP with a few more details. Namely, Soullessness needs to be more annoying. A few ideas include giving them moderate brain damage and a random trauma in addition to the unclonability. However,...

He plays as Skylar fairly often

Side Antag mode is already happening as far as I understand, which will be a welcome addition

Luke Cox

The "coders are a clique" mentality comes from two things: coders not communicating with the general playerbase, and a substantial number of coders hardly ever playing the game. I don't think anyone reasonable lumps all coders into the "clique", but there's no denying that too ma...

Luke Cox

Somehow hide the bombs in the brig, and you might actually get me to play along

Luke Cox

also, retheme it so it's not a devil but something scifi, like a cybernetic soul reaper or a 4 dimensional conciousness temporarily manifesting on the 3dimensional planes. We'll call them Cyberdemons. Only way to kill them is to get R&D to build the BFG. I figure that stuff like the name/aesthe...

I'm not particularly attached to the whole forbidden fruit idea. If anyone has anything that might work better, by all means, have at it. Make it so any consumable can be cursed, like patches, pills, syringes, etc. Nobody can resist using that free bruise pack in the middle of the hall, and if you ...

I was afraid that making every object curse-able might have been OP, but I suppose you could make it function like the explosive holo's trap

The revs and cultists would quickly suffocate the traitors and changelings. You'd also get ling revs/cultists and revs/cultists with syndicate gear. I'll let you all imagine how that would go.

Luke Cox

"Your soul has been stolen" DONT EAT FOOD, DEVILS And then the devil has only one soul while everybody hoards vending machines You could move the channeled convert up to 1 or two souls in that case. Also, the devil would be able to curse things like items in medkits. Could be a little ove...

God damn people have gone soft.

Either way, having the ability to ghostrole people goes a long ways to alleviating this problem.

Luke Cox

The reason I think Traitor is 2nd best game mode (after extended) is because they're just multiple little antags. Each has it's own objective, preferably does not murder and destroy everything, and just does its thing. This allows for the round to flow more naturally, primarily for civilian jobs. S...

Luke Cox

Only problem with this is that I can definitely see the crew just killing themselves the second their soul is stolen to deny the devil of any good boy points That's a valid concern, although I'd say it's more of a policy issue. Along the lines of cult sac targets gibbing themselves, heads hiding in...

Luke Cox

I've gone ahead and come up with a sample ability line. Tried to keep it relatively simple and not egregiously powerful, since I imagine having several devils at once: Infernal jaunt. Basically the same as wizard jaunt, but a bit shorter and with fitting fire effects The devil gains glowing eyes, wh...

Luke Cox

Duct-taping a bunch of game modes that were designed to operate independently together is going to create an untold clusterfuck. Keep distinct round types. Datum antags were a mistake hyped up by a buzzword. Edit: The primary antag system should stay as is, with one concrete antag type per round. Se...

Luke Cox

I've heard that a mode that spawns a bunch of secondary antags is being worked on, which is a good start. I'll have to look into vampires. I'm not sure what they entail, but they sound promising. Revsquad sounds intriguing, but imo we should try to stay away from team-based antags for a while. I hav...

Related to this, what happens if multiverses end up being real? In an infinite number of universes, there will always be some exact copy of your consciousness out there somewhere, making you functionally immortal. Considering that and other things in this thread, quantum physics are oddly comforting

Luke Cox

the people with the time and energy to code gamemodes just add more conversion modes because they're low effort That's because they're fucking retarded, as evidenced by the current situation. Seriously, I might actually try to take up coding just because of this. If I want it done right, I have to ...

Luke Cox

A way to kind of jury-rig around this is to give antags different objective possibilities. Cult kind of used to have that for instance before it became all nar-nar all the time. Some antags have a little wiggle room. Oldcult didn't always have to summon nar nar. Operatives could possibly be assigne...

Luke Cox

Currently, we're in a bit of an antag crisis. We have 5 and a half modes in normal rotation (traitorchan with malf, blood cult, revolution, wizard, nuke ops), the lowest number since at least 2014 (which had 8) and nearly half of the peak (9-10, I can't remember if clockcult, slings, and gang were i...

Luke Cox

I'm not the most experienced, but more main antagonists to keep people on their toes seems like a good idea, and your plan for it well thought out. Glad you like it. Primary antags are in a sorry state right now. At minimum we need 2 new ones, maybe 3 to be safe. Off the top of my head, when I star...

You could just always make them sprout wings and a tail anyway. Getting augmented to hide the red will only buy you a little time

Luke Cox

@Sticky: We'd definitely need a mid-tier alternate conversion for the devil. I'd want to avoid making individual devils too powerful. The moodlet one is a good idea. A channeled conversion that works faster on depressed people. @InsaneHyena: I know that ""ideas guys"" are a meme,...

We're in a bit of an antag crisis right now. There are only 5 and half different types of main antags (ling and malf are usually rolled into traitor): traitorchan, nuclear operatives, blood cult, wizard, and revolution. Clock cult is gone for the foreseeable future, Blob has been relegated to side a...

Dying is fine. Getting 1HKO by something you couldn't possible counter? That's not fun. That's bad design. Changelings have an answer for everything in the game from damage, stuns, borgs, cuffs, and even death. And despite all their pocket, the only counter to them is 'bring more guys'. Definitely ...

Luke Cox

Why are people whining about "dying too much" now that we have actual automated ghost roles?

Luke Cox

If you give someone a bunch of cool toys and free valids, they will go on killing sprees. There is no way to stop it without royally pissing off at least 2/3 of the playerbase. We have to accept it and move on.

Luke Cox

I love me some side antags, but right now we have fewer main antags than ever with the newest one being made in 2010. If anything, I'd want to see 2-3 new main antags.

Luke Cox

I think we should remove extract DNA, it sort of just tends to make transforming a little too easy, and without removing it I don't understand why the genome objective is still a thing even. The extract genome objective requires you to get 6-8 genomes. If the extract DNA sting is removed that's a w...

Luke Cox

With respect to reworking aspects of the core game, I think it's important to remember that the mayhem, chaos, and general clusterfuck-ery is what makes SS13 what it is. You're supposed to have your shit wrecked by a dsword wielding traitor when you least expect it, or have your armory blown up, or ...

Inter-round achievements are always contentious, but what if they unlocked purely cosmetic stuff like hairstyles or underclothes?

Oh cool, it looks like they're bundling spyware with the client now

What if, and this is a big what if, but what if the base game sans antags was fun. So that when antags are added that threaten things on the station, the crew feel motivated to defend their things rather than roll for the opportunity to break things nobody really cares about losing? Since I've star...

I used to play that game. Then Heart of Thorns happened. Not falling for Anet's marketing ever again. HoT and the post-expansion content taking more than a year to release made it clear that their development team has severe management problems. What are you referring to specifically? The legendary...

When the freeze is over I'm going to make fire cancel revives, absorbing lings give you a higher point cap in the power menu, and personal hiveminds that only function if you use the "grant hivemind" power on someone. Latter two sound great, but fully canceling a revive with just a little...

Despite my best efforts I couldn't get traitorchan removed so instead I'll try to help fix it.

Admins have chilled waaaaaay the fuck out when it comes to security dealing with conversion antags (thank god). It used to be that you got a day ban for every "innocent person killed" or something similarly autistic. Now they mostly let it slide if your intentions were good. Last week I wa...
