Re: Morph too good for a side antag

Xenos and swarmers are considered round-enders, aren't they? As in, admins don't really spawn them unless the round had become stale and it's considered fair game to have the station destroyed and most people die. Whereas revenants are a common round-event more like space carp. I always thought morp...

I was in that round, and a bit disappointed that hitting it with tons of morphine syringes didn't seem to do anything.

Re: Should The AI Remain Off Or On Station?

While it certainly would be nicer for the AI not to get killed instantly by ops, and to be much more readily and easily repaired, I do think having the AI off-station is pretty cosy and makes for more interesting rounds in most other gamemodes.
