I suggested something like this long time ago, when people discussed in game money, to give non-antag jobs some motivations beyond doing their job. I think it would be cool if done right.

Lumbermancer

You don't know if they are revs or other antags, your job is to prevent harm, and by your inaction: not guarding core from intrusion, you allow harm.

It's getting offtopic on my part.

Lumbermancer

If you let revs into core, and they kill you, you are enabling harm which you won't be able to prevent. It's the same thing like letting random people into armory, or into upload so they are free to tamper with your laws.

Lumbermancer

Don't you think letting people into AI core is a violation of Law 1, when Asimov?

Lumbermancer

Do you let people (even those with authorization) into core without any IC consideration, just because you know you can chelp it if something goes wrong? Isn't that metagaming?

Lumbermancer

You tried to card AI, that's a threat.

Lumbermancer

I like it too. It's big, it stands out, and it's a clear sign to stay the fuck away and maybe grab a fire extinguisher.

Lumbermancer

Human is not defined, harm is not defined. No one ever defines "Wizard". It's common logic. AI is an intelligence that follows it's laws, not a dumb algorithm that simply executes them. And that gave Ai the opportunity to exploit the stupidly written law. As to preventing evil, not prevent...

Law is what separates us from animals and clowns.

Is the shuttle coming? If it is, I'd move them to escape holding area, and await evacuation there. If it isn't it depends on severity of the crime. In case of theft or break and enter, I'd tase&cuff, confiscate weapons and items, and give them thorough search which would constitute brig time, an...

Lumbermancer

Ayy lmao. Is it Vox Raider? Holy shit I feel a warm feeling in belly because I predicted it happening like half a year ago.

There was no stirring. I only threatened you with violence IF you decide to blow up VPR.

Lumbermancer

Clown enablers are already held responsible. For clowns.

Lumbermancer

That's not very fun. Stealing all access to dick around is quintessential ss13 experience.

How about give Captain a button in his office, that disables possibility of ID changes on all consoles. This way it will be a double-edged sword at least, prohibiting both legal and illegal activities.

Lumbermancer

so that engineers will stay and tend to it and thus spot people releasing it/stop it from releasing itself. Move security checkpoint to opposite of pacc, where hardsuits are in storage. Sec rarely stays within confines of his post, but still. Make it easier to deal with singulo, if containment is s...

Lumbermancer

But I had the same objective, and dismantled cloner long time ago. It wasn't operational. There was no reason for him to slime it up.

And why abductees don't show up in debriefing screen, I wouldn't make this thread.

Close it.

Lumbermancer

It seems like you want an easier way to force the shuttle call.

Spoiler:

That's from three days ago. Was cap changed since then?

Lumbermancer

Add a small button to lock UI, I'm talking about buttons in top left, that are more and more common. And since they can be moved around by dragging, you can move them accidentally in the heat of the ation.

Lumbermancer

So I was a sec chasing a traitor wielding an energy sword. Suddenly a ghost came out of the wall and incapacitated me. He then proceeded to spit bubbles at me, which killed me almost instantly.

4/10, I guess the sprite is spooky and bubbles are nicely animated.

Lumbermancer

It isn't. Veil works inconsistently on PDA lights, and it didn't disable the flash light attached to egun. At one point I kept receiving damage from a PDA with disabled flashlight too.

Lumbermancer

You're overthinking it. Start from making more runes viable, easier to use. I don't remember when was the last time I seen blood boil, blood drain, summon cultist or free cultist in action.

Lumbermancer

Yeah. I have played only one game of shadowling so far, but my biggest problem was distinguishing where light was and where it wasn't. What if Ling had different vision, showing light in more distinguishable colour hue? And the scroll-menu targeting for stun has to go, it's unwieldy as fuck. It was ...

Lumbermancer

Abudctors come and go as they please, and seemingly can't be touched. This doesn't seems to be entertaining to anyone else but abductors, even from the perspective of security.

meme gamemode.

Lumbermancer

Can you find out who's the parasite by asking them a simple arithmetic question?

Lumbermancer

That was racist.

Allow self surgery but ghetto style only.

I don't think there will be any problems.

Don't you know how to make a stun prod?

And morgue. Don't forget the morgue!

Scanners. Health Scanner, Reagents Scanner, Detective Scanner. Could be used manually, by holding pAI, or remotely and on distance by pAI itself. Self-defense electric discharge. On large cooldown, will tase only person holding pAI. Swiss knife mode. Allowing pAi to pop out a screwdriver, wrench, cr...

I rarely listen to music while playing, because hearing stuff is helpful as a sec. But lack of any background noise sucks. There's ambient music toggle, but I think it only plays the music in space. I've been playing these in background, for fun, I like them humming noises. https://www.youtube.com/w...

Lumbermancer

That was my first though, it makes sec so much harder to deal with for traitors. I wouldn't mind if the camera was removed. And implants will get exploited like superpowers, I already saw ad hoc surgery made in R&D, giving them out like candy.

Lumbermancer

Officer Gaskin tazed me at that point and resulted in him getting a reprimand by the Head of Security Nope. There was no reprimand. HoS listened to what I had to say and said: fuck this, you are both free to go. And this made you so sour that you started to whisper-plot with Jim Otis behind my back...

Lumbermancer

Because he has direct authority over officers in the Brig.

Lumbermancer

Just because they can't give you direct orders, or have no authority over security matters, doesn't mean they don't outrank you. Because they do, as diagram neatly shows.

They outrank you, but you're not their subordinate, if that's easier to process for you.

Lumbermancer

don't even think twice about brigging a head unless they're the hos/captain/acting captain You should only arrest head of staff without hesitation when they either were caught red handed committing crime, or you were given such (justified) order by your direct superior. If you only have a hunch, or...

You never got thrown out of disposal chute, hitting a wall and harming yourself?

I want loyalty firing pin doing this.

Lumbermancer

Are you talking only about sprite visibility, or hiding them all the way under jumpsuit, like exosuit does?

Lumbermancer

It can be put in suit slot, that's how I carry it. But when shoulder holster is added, we might as well improve it, right?

Lumbermancer

I see no practical purpose for this item. It fills the belt slot, adding nothing of value, making you need to click more to get your revolver out. So, it's for fashion and style? I can get behind that, I was the proponent of giving Detective his own waistcoat after all. But it doesn't work too. If y...

I don't like it. Remove.

I would like to see more utility powers instead.
