/tg/Station 13

invisty

Exceedingly tolerant administration policy continuing /tg/station's slow descent to mediocrity.

invisty

This sounds like an idea for high quality wizard memes. Maybe have it allow only one person at a time in the pocket dimension, and if you use it on a person while someone is in there, it teleports the person in the pocket realm back to a random location on the station? For added hilarity: Allow acci...

Even tagged/undertail seems to have nothing good going for it.

I appreciate this.

Bring back karma.

Put up a poll please. I'm strongly convinced that this is a case of a vocal minority of [a certain type of player] or just plain old "I'm dead restart pls."

Edit: Oh wait. We've had a poll on this in the past. Do we need another one for the specific scenarios outlined in the OP?

invisty

The reality is that people want their restart so they can have a go at being the antagonist.

invisty

The solution to "bombs blowing shit up" is simple: You make them heavily anti-personnel/incendiary, and cause minimal structural damage to the station. That way they're about blowing up people , not blowing up the station that people depend upon so as to cause grief and escape liability fo...

Mk2 drone that RnD can unlock for robotics to build?

Featuring VTEC speeds, zero-G maneuvering and auto-magboots?

It's because the resizing uses a lame method, not actually smoothing out the rendered image but just displaying the X lines possible. You need 832x832 pixels of space to display the game area in x2 size. Hide/auto-hide the task-bar, move the window header bar off the top of the screen and make more ...

Summer is just around the corner here and I'm already sweltering in the office. Not sure how I'm going to survive the el nino, I guess I'll just spend the time in the water.

invisty

I dont know about you guys but I hardly consider a X-second-window to call for help an interesting or fair game mechanic.

A good mechanic for ling is your ability to trust others, either opting to stay in groups or alone. This should be emphasized in any implementation of new changeling mechanics.

Things that improve the existing variety of features, as opposed to add-ons that add entirely new gameplay mechanics. A mod that improves the variety of map generation would be super cool.

invisty

Just recently got this. Does there exist a good summary of quality mods somewhere?

Scale antagonists by round start sec+cap+hop count :3

That'd get people playing.

Paranoia is a buzzword that only applies to new players at this point. Dismissive one-liners (which you've done multiple times already in this thread) are a fantastic way to make yourself very unpopular and to have your contributions rejected regardless of their merit. Other contributors with poor ...

All these changes around sec balance recently smell of Steelpoint having some sort of mandate to rebalance security in his own eyes. Just what his underlying reasons are, however, remains a mystery. All that I read about the proposed changes being "better" and addressing nebulous "bal...

invisty

No thanks. We already have enough OP weapons floating around as it is.

Also yeah, the traitor objectives.

invisty

No thanks.

This is power creep, and trivialises the danger of space even further.

invisty

The only time you get three or more secborgs is when it's a malf round and people are metagaming to get in on the fun.

So basically it's a non issue anyway.

invisty

Steelpoint can you just stop? Please? Please stop, Steelpoint. I saw this thread topic and didn't even have to look at the author to know it was going to be you. You're creating reasons to pursue a personal agenda by fabricating "problems" of gameplay balance that don't exist. The solutio...

Manual lock is already a feature for the RnD consoles, so why not import it to the exofab too?

That way, its down to scientists and roboticists being diligent and exercising best practice to keep the mime from obtaining bags of holding and mechs of murder.

invisty

Cable cuffs and a multitool hanging from your belt.

Other peoples IDs hanging out your back pocket.

So how does putting weapons that are effective vs ops into the armoury do anything other than encourage nuke ops to raid the armoury?

Encouraging generic meta behaviours has never been a good thing.

invisty

Wrong thread.

long version: Ghosts/"Dieties" communicating with players has already proven a horrible idea in the past.

invisty

Is it possible to turn off atmos for a round? If so, what are the effects?

invisty

The funny part about "ling being a thing" is that every time there has been one of these polls, it has been beaten into the ground.

So why is it still a thing?

invisty

To think, all sec needed was a lethal setting on the taser.

invisty

Sounds like a case of Rule 1 to me.

I have this exact same problem OP. My BYOND freezes or crashes outright any time I click on ingame links. It makes admin PMs and camera-tracking as AI nigh impossible.

Ive tried uninstalling/reinstalling both BYOND and IE to no avail.

invisty

Like Nightingale said I would prefer if we kept things easy to identify and the examine text got the descriptive name instead. This makes a lot of sense, and fits in with existing descriptions. The names should make their purpose instantly identifiable , and the description both descriptive and fla...

Where's the option for "NAAAAAAH I CANT HEAR YOU", *merges pr* ?

invisty

All the names should make it obvious what the weapon is. NT-ARG 'Boarder' Is a poor name. People don't know what that means at a glance. I would recommend you "brandify" them like many of the existing ones. In a futuristic world of hypercapitalism and occasional conflict, weapons would be ...

Let's be honest here. ERP wasn't banned because it was removing people from the round. It was banned because, once again, it proved that the actual drama came from the "free game" admin policy on ERP and not the ERP itself. Either way, nothing has really changed. The ERP was never of quali...

The thing is, it ends up being the same people doing the same things that we see all the time. The reason we mess with them early is that we know where it 's going and by starting when you do it all the time you open yourself up for it. Using a slippery slope argument as a means to get your jollies...

invisty

Oh, I must be having a bad case of the dumbs, then.

invisty

You seem pretty sane, with some good ideas. It's unfortunate we can only have one player-elected headmin.

Tell me briefly, what are your thoughts on roleplaying in SS13?

invisty

Didn't ban me last night when I accidentally forgot to turn on singularity containment. You have my vote.

invisty

Is it any less immersion breaking than the Last Hit Meme, though? I assume that's why we were banning for it previously. This is my main complaint about the enforcement of OOC in IC. Obviously the intention is to prevent wholesale destruction of immersion, yet it seems to fail the admin test in the...

I would really appreciate the higher fps.

Im not familiar with BYONDs internals, yet Im curious as to how higher FPS increases network traffic?

Thats a very broad question youre asking. What are your designs for the revised cult? The problem with words is that they represent minimal power gain for the cult compared to aggression and mass conversion. Reward the cult for the meaningful things they do, and empower them accordingly with some so...

Why don't you just remove standard borg while you're at it? Their low-key baton cheekiness was their main draw card, and now they're gimped engyborgs.

Buff or remove!

The AI seems to be able to simply camera-list the swarmers. Honestly, that feature has always been a little ridiculous.

invisty

You don't need to disable AI in the config, because there are already plenty of rounds every day where we have no AI. All you need to do is log in during the quiet hours and enjoy 20-player-no-AI and evaluate it for yourself.

I had to check it wasn't April.

Please stop trying to make all the antagonists the same by giving each and all of them the same suite of abilities. Different crew roles should have different effectiveness vs different antagonists. Endlessly throwing patchwork solutions like "doorjackers" at a problem is not a good soluti...
