/tg/Station 13

Luke Cox

My takeaway from regular SS13 is that laser weapons are used more by civilian and commercial sectors while military units and paramilitary groups use ballistics.

Sticky says that the new race is going to be "zerg inspired" so I decided to engage the autism and channel my many hours in Starcraft 2 into something potentially useful. Here are some assorted zerg units, and the types of xenos they roughly correspond to in aesthetic and/or function. Obvi...

Luke Cox

I was thinking that maybe the marines are still from Earth or some similar government, and that the colony being aided is on a planet owned by Nanotrasen.

Luke Cox

Are benchmarks even out yet?

Luke Cox

For sure, I don't think Weyland really gives a shit about casualties in CM either. I was thinking more about "make sure X order isn't given" or "make sure x isn't built" or "make sure x dropship doesn't make it back to the ship" or "make sure the marines don't obta...

Luke Cox

>Fox's autism Well that's fucking gay. I read your other post on the coding forum. I think a "zerg-like" species could be pretty sweet. Better nail the look though, because I main Zerg and I will sperg out if you get it wrong. My only other real concern would be with the aesthetic after th...

We're not seriously considering replacing the xenomorphs, are we?

One time during the test, I was the Chief MP (some things never change). Early on, the corporate liaison went on his usual spiel about professionalism and doing things by the book. The CO and I both mocked him, called him a faggot, etc. 'Twas a good time. Later on, I accept a "stim implant"...

Luke Cox

Personally I think datum antags are a case of re-inventing something that nobody asked to have re-invented that will result in a complete and utter clusterfuck of rounds, but visitors could work well with or without them. Without, it's just a dedicated "visitors + traitors" mode that spawn...

Luke Cox

It would be very disappointing for something with as much potential as this to get relegated to yet another side antag position. Sufficiently fleshed out, this could easily be a new gamemode. God knows we could use some fresh new ones.

Luke Cox

If this ever got implemented as a gamemode, I would imagine that the crews would be informed in no uncertain terms whether they are benevolent, benign or malicious on their notes screen. As far as policy is concerned, I think you could apply existing policy to the visiting ships fairly easily. Benev...

Luke Cox

Those rules are copy/pasted from CM. Are we just rolling with those, or are we going to write our own rules?

Luke Cox

Mutiny seems to be a core part of the traditional CM game, and it's something that's been positively received in our tests so far. Unlike regular SS13, which takes place during yet another day on the job on a corporate space station, CM is about a life and death struggle between a group of marines a...

Get back in the hut Oranges

Luke Cox

The White Ship already counts as an escape shuttle, so I would imagine that coding visitor ships to act the same way would be trivial. As for the ships themselves, I have a few more in-depth ideas. Tying specific objectives to specific ships would probably be a pain in the ass, so I think it would b...

Luke Cox

Roping something as expansive as a spin-off game into base /tg/ development dooms it from the start. They'd find a lot more success if they made their own project, recruited other people with a similar vision from other SS13 communities, and made their own game with blackjack and hookers.

Luke Cox

Yeah, the thing I'm drawing a blank on is what sort of objectives they might need, like... Their engine is broken, they need help from the station to repair/replace it. They have stuff to sell. Acquire credits. Don't sell their stuff at a loss or let it get stolen. (dunno how best to do this 'cause...

Luke Cox

You could do so much cool shit with this. There would be actual P A R A N O I A. Really hope someone decides to pick this up.

Luke Cox

what do you mean new? planetstation isn't a new game, it's just taking the station and putting it on a station map. There's literally very little required to actually achieve it but the person who was propagating the idea never actually put any time into it. The sheer entitlement of saying /tg/ nev...

Is it even possible to have contradicting laws with the priority system in place? I've always wanted to give an AI a meltdown, but it seems impossible.

The supermatter engine can be a round ender. Doesn't mean you get to sabotage it to prevent it from being set up. Toxins can fuck up around, doesn't mean you get to steal all their valves. Viro can kill half the station, yet I don't see people trying to justify deconstructing the pandemic and spacin...

Anyone from legacy media is shitting themselves over that statistic. It's the same here in the US. Why do you think they're latching on so hard to "muh drumpf"? There is no other way for them to stay relevant with the youth, and it's not working.

Luke Cox

It's extreme greifing in my view. Not to the point where it becomes an OOC issue, but enough to basically make you instantly valid once you do it. Kind of on par with ordering a shitty shuttle.

I'm not sure that I would call 4chan left-wing or right-wing. They're hardcore contrarians, and do whatever is edgy at the time but with libertarian undertones. Most of the stormfront shit is a deliberate ploy to keep the site repulsive to normies. It's a fascinating strategy, and for the most part ...

Luke Cox

Speaking as someone who plays a ton of HoS, the worst part isn't the time, it's the lack of confirmation of cult status until it completes and the fact that the message being a one-time thing requires you to babysit them. Go with what others have suggested and make them have seizures and have a halo...

Luke Cox

Let's not forget that the reason the entire Mueller probe has gone on as long as it has is because the man is finished once it's over. He's managed to nail a few people around Trump, but he hasn't got a speck of dirt on Trump himself. All he's done so far is charge a few people with money laundering...

Luke Cox

Because we're lambasted by "muh Russia" day and night despite nothing coming of it yet. I'd rather Trump not start shit with a nuclear superpower over a conspiracy theory. You can find evidence of Russian collusion wherever Iraq left their WMDs. Spoiler alert, the CIA and FBI have a looooo...

Luke Cox

Normally that's true, but we've got three things that are significantly different this time around: 1) Trump's approval rating has steadily climbed since taking office, and by extension GOP politicians are doing better 2) Most of the seats up for election are in solid red districts 3) Constant media...

Luke Cox

November is going to be the first real test for the new GOP. I expect them to do reasonably well, but it's going to be interesting to watch. The DNC is going to go into a tailspin if they don't perform well, given how desperate they are for the so-called "blue wave". Red wall is looking mo...

Luke Cox

Well, DemonFiren is half right. 2016 did sort of break the GOP too. However, unlike the DNC they've managed to rally around a new platform and image. They re-invented themselves. They've dropped the autistic anti-LGBT stuff, they don't really give a shit about abortion anymore (Trump's new supreme c...

The 2016 election is very much relevant in terms of how it broke the democratic party. My hope after the election was that the democratic voter base would lynch the party leadership, expel the extreme elements, and go back to being actual liberals. Oh how wrong I was...

I mean, the whack would only generate points once. Could totally see prisoners experimented on or people selling their bodies to science though

Luke Cox

Trump's plans in that area were pretty questionable (coal is kill, and it fucking sucks anyway), but it was a plan. Hillary's attitude towards them ranged from apathy to condescension. You'll never guess which demographic cost her the election.

I'm not sure if I would call them communists, but more extreme elements are undeniably taking over the democratic party. The old neoliberal establishment is dying off, both figuratively and literally - they're old as shit. We had Cortez, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, people who h...

Luke Cox

We're seeing the old neoliberal establishment being swept out of the DNC. Ordinarily this would be a good thing, but instead we have more extreme elements are taking their places. They are completely unviable. No conservative, moderate, or even most liberals want to abolish borders and ICE, enact st...

@Cosmic: My general take on it is that the UK is in a pretty bad spot right now, but they more than have the capacity to get out of it. This isn't some inescapable black hole, you can do it.
