These are all really good ideas, particularly putting the hive into disarray and discouraging murderbone-mode in exchange for hide-and-seek. How about a "hive life-cycle" of sorts? Hivemind is disabled. All eggs die. All aliens take a big hit to their stored plasma and plasma regen rate. E...

I've almost always had people try to lynch me after I get abducted, I would barf out non-hostile slimes (that may eventually become hostile if not fed or frozen after a few minutes) and I went straight to escape to evacuate, after barfing out one slime I had two guys attack and kill me on the spot....

It seems that every little bit of policy that is borne of the relationship between antagonists and protagonists only ever encourages people to toe the line and leads to further drama. The policy certain players are trying to get here only makes the game worse for everyone but themselves and creates ...

If people are incapable of at least pretending to role-play their new role, then I think it's pretty safe to say they're not the types of people we want around here. Slap a job ban/account ban on them and enjoy their swan-song in FNR.

Is it really that hard to notice a red APC and say something about it? It takes a long ass time for APCs to discharge. People only care about the state of an icon when it can be explicitly interpreted as relating to the game mode or an antagonist. BSOD-Blue APC? MALF AI! Red APC? Didn't even see it...

This isn't making engineer fun or adding anything to game. That's an opinion, and you're not providing any reasons to back it up so it's effectively worthless until you do so. Reasons I like this change: It adds meta-obfuscation to power failure by sabotage: You don't know immediately whether or no...

Great addition to gameplay. Honestly, this is a bit overdue.

I prefer the one with the dim light.

The female flatmate comes home last night, while I'm watching that fantastic SJW episode of southpark on TV, eating dinner, and immediately labels me as "rude" for watching [her] the TV in the living room. The irony is not lost on me. She's been really cranky in recent weeks, but maybe it'...

I would like to question the assumption that very high or very low win rates are a bad thing. What is inherently bad about them? As I see it, the variable chain of events that each player encounters during the game is significantly more important to the player than the redtext/greentext at the end. ...

Have them start off spaced far apart on the station, but capable of breeding like the chickens/corgis if a guy and a girl mouse manage to find their way to each other.

Can you imagine the benign-traitoring potential?

>Engineers ever doing station maintenance.

It's probably just me but I find the visual "clutter" on MetaStation a bit much. The copious amount of hazard markings in every corner of the map and posters on the walls being culprits. There's nothing explicitly bad about it - it just makes the cognitive aspect of the game more taxing.

Why set life goals and objectives when I can just play video games?

We should bring back meteor.

Bring back extended. Purge the cancer.

We're well overdue for a good purging of powergamers.

Remove perma and defer to the gulag. Death or Exile, no middle-ground!

IMO the loot spawns should be rng. You dont want players making a bee-line for breakout tools, do you?

I'm keen to see stuns reduced to the disabler effect but also causing your target to drop their weapon.

It would add value to taking the initiative (first hit) in combat, while also giving the losing party the chance to GTFO, with the risk of the second disabler hit slowing them.

Seems it isn't OS-specific then.

It looks like the BYOND devs are aware of the issue but need assistance. http://www.byond.com/forum/?post=1929878

I'm honestly a bit perplexed on what could be causing it.

It's more that I wanted to see how many people it affected. The no-vote is just there because the forums demand a second option.

To those of you who don't have this problem, it basically entails the chat links in BYOND causing freezing and crashing of the client. It isn't consistent, and seems to deteriorate during the session from the first few clicks being OK, to subsequent clicks freezing the client for 5+ seconds to outri...

He just said he needed a verb. I suffer the same problem - clicking any chat links crashes/freezes BYOND. It makes dealing with admins nigh impossible.

I created a thread for discussing this issue.

Also for a teleportation delivery system, you obviously need to make it "not suitable for human use", with "safety sensors" that "may or may not be prone to hacking". Think of the industrial accidents. Missing limbs? Auto-gibbing teleporter? Inside-outing? Glorious deat...

I thought nuke discs aren't immune to teleportation? IIRC that was teleporting off the z-level?

Self-surgery is surprisingly more realistic than many other facets of Space Station 13. From Plasma, Bluespace, Lasers (The one's we present), Space Exposure, Damage Effects (What is a bullet to the head?), Wizards, GBS, Space Ship Drives, Research & Development, Most Of Our Medical System, etc...

Contrary to some beliefs, the station isn't meant to be designed for the minority who consider this a game of cops and robbers.

Kinda wish Halloween wasn't a thing around here, but I just happen to live in one of those little suburbs where it's family-friendly enough that the kids knock on all the doors. Reminds me of all the things wrong with my life.

I feel that there ought to be some check that when a player takes damage and enters crit, that they can't go immediately to dead. Maybe cap the damage upon entering crit or something. ex_act() and other logical cases excluded, of course. Acid does not instantly kill people.

Make sure you add a suicide verb.

I agree that the problem isn't for a lack of desire for RP, but instead a newer set of players who are just in it to win it. I think that if we bought back gameplay mechanics that said "no, your fate is in the hands of others and there is no safe path to winning" then perhaps the attitudes...

Haven't been able to play since the server moved to florida. It all runs like arse and I can't really expect anyone to do anything about it for me, much less give a shit. None of the other servers seem very appealing, sadly.
