How does talking in space work exactly

Sometimes it seems as if people don't hear you when you're talking in space and your speech is in italics but sometimes I can hear other people talk just fine

Yeah, doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea to do so when you're playing a job with responsibilities and have access to better options

Mickyan

I agree its weird to offer an alchoholism trait and penalize players for being alcoholics. As the person who made that trait I would just like to point out: 1. It's not an "alcoholic" trait, not even the flavor text implies being compelled to get drunk. You also don't even need to get com...

Mickyan

Stupid shuttles annoy me because if for example as a scientist you went around and just left bombs and plasma canisters around the hallways you would at the very least get job banned, but if as a captain you buy a suicidal shuttle knowing very well that it will indirectly kill the entire crew then i...

Mickyan

A new job entails: 1. Mapping a new department/office in every map 2. Giving them specialized tools that aren't available to everyone else 3. Having a reason to exist other than being an assistant with a gimmick Which is much more work than your idea of "give an assistant a camera" which c...

Mickyan

Curators are even supposed to have remote newscaster access in their pda for exactly this purpose except it's been broken for like a year

Mickyan

BoH bombing the shuttle seems to have gotten even more popular now since you can easily survive doing it if you just have a space suit, meanwhile anyone caught off guard without one is as good as dead with no warning Should add a ladder that's guaranteed to lead to a dungeon with the materials to bu...

Mickyan

Let me put it this way

I always turn on suit sensors, 3 out of the 4 times I tried VR they were emagged and I spent the rest of the round dead inside the sleeper

And that's why I'm not going to use VR ever again

Mickyan

Emagged sleepers either need some kind of subtle tell or even better eject dead bodies, if you die in VR it's unlikely your body will ever be discovered since people either don't even notice the sleeper is occupied or just assume you're playing. At the same time you don't want people to randomly pul...

Mickyan

Would it be possible to tie the duration to real time instead of rounds? You get the goodies if that station goal was accomplished in the last X hours and completing it again refreshes the duration if it's still ongoing You could further balance goals by giving them different durations and add more ...

Mickyan

Got 125, got bored at the last 5 or so and just guessed though it kinda defeats the purpose of making a general purpose iq test when half the questions depend on the knowledge of xor and become piss easy with that knowledge. Anybody who's worked with byond icon or overlay blend modes is going to kno...

What's wrong with pubby

I suspect a lot of people don't like it because they're not used to the layout and forcing map change the rare times it gets selected certainly doesn't help

Mickyan

I think training/combat programs are a great way to help people learn/get used to mechanics they wouldn't otherwise be able to freely experiment with in a real round but I see potential in the way VR works to also be used in other ways that can benefit the round. Instead of being virtual (not includ...

Mickyan

Is one of the lockers in the maint kitchen supposed to be ID locked? Makes the whole place unusable since you don't even get flour to work with

Everything else in maint is free access so this seems like an oversight

Mickyan

My experience dealing with lmgs typically involve casually walking through a hallway and getting instacritted by an op spraying from the other side of the station, it may have its drawbacks but it hardly seems fair when you're on the receiving end

Mickyan

The problem is those who decided to turn off mood either aren't talking or aren't saying whether their grievances can be solved by making any of the changes that have been suggested. Short of a few personal opinions we still don't know what the actual problems with the system are and we're somehow e...

Mickyan

There's a fine line between being blunt and being rude and in my short time being active here lately I don't think I've ever seen him manage to disagree with someone without being excessively dismissive and hostile, it doesn't set a good example for players and no doubt it's going to cause issues at...

Mickyan

Meanwhile there's often some guy that won't stand still to get treated and instead try to break into storage to steal a bunch of medkits. Or that one guy that instead of asking just smashes in a window to get into cloning despite the fact you're standing right there, there's a breach outside AND THE...

Mickyan

I wouldn't underestimate Prosthetic Limb, EMPs do damage and cause you to get stunned for a long time, they break off easily and you need to go through the extra step to repair them rather than just getting shoved in a sleeper. I've seen multiple people in deadchat saying they ended up regretting pi...

Mickyan

Considering that using the cameras is already extra finicky and to get any use out of them you need someone sitting at the console at all times, allowing officers to take a quick peek while on the move doesn't sound unreasonable Cameras really should be a big deal but currently the chance that someo...

Mickyan

Very fun and challenging, although I would like to point out Iron is extremely shit at dealing with this, since it barely keeps it from going down, not improve your situation (at least at the current drain rate), same thing with vitamins. Saline glucose is the best solution, since its easily produc...

Mickyan

At this point I just wish for service jobs and areas like the dorm to have a real purpose and I still think moodlets are the way to go. At the same time, I can understand that being told how your character feels is not something everyone will want to accept. What if instead of being tied to slowdown...

Mickyan

Never played on bay, we have traits that can give you items and this seemed like the obvious next step I can imagine if we give people access to clothing from the vendor as a pre-round loadout you will see a bunch of staff assistants with military jackets for the free weapon slot. nothing a nerf to ...

Mickyan

>Space cleaner spray Nice try sneaking one of the most sought after items on the station in there Busted That's actually one of the reasons for it, some items are nowhere to be found on certain maps despite not being particularly useful, maybe you don't want to have space cleaner bottles all over t...

Mickyan

Worth nothing there's no actual negative moodlet for toolboxing someone and I don't think the plan was to actually have one Maybe we can agree to stick to negative moodlets that would objectively aggravate anyone. Such as missing a leg, starving or embarrassingly slipping on a banana peel. The other...

Mickyan

Judging from the amount of people crowding around the autodrobe at roundstart there's demand for this and I believe the trait code gives a good framework to get this working with relative ease, but I lack the skill to put it together myself You have let's say 5 points to spend and have a selection o...

Mickyan

Other random thoughts: Add some sort of opt out trait for this since its so divisive. People who opt out will obviously be at a mechanical advantage over people suffering from bad moodlets, but they won't be able to reap the benefits of increased speed bars etc from good moodlets either. This idea ...

Mickyan

Perhaps it would help if it was called morale rather than mood, you could be happy or sad but your character will still realize how dire the current situation is and it'll eventually take its toll on his sanity I think this is a really important point that hasn't been addressed enough (probably beca...

Mickyan

Fuck off with that. Not liking a feature does not mean I am posting in bad faith I did not mean to call you or anyone else out in particular. I just see a lot of "It sucks, remove it" comments from people that don't offer any solution or feedback and don't add anything to the discussion Y...

Mickyan

Considering every negative comment mentioned rooms being dirty as the biggest annoyance there might be a solution here that doesn't include burning the whole barn down. Maybe what we really need is more feedback given in good faith Specifically while I think room beauty is a good idea in theory, the...

Mickyan

I added a new major negative trait called Acute Blood Deficiency, I'm interested to hear your thoughts if it's something you're interested in trying. Essentially, your blood is constantly being drained at a slow rate. It can feel a bit daunting at first because blood levels are something you often t...

Mickyan

Moth lanuage was removed because half the crew filling the radio with gibberish was obnoxious, and lizards already had that gimmick (with a population small enough that they dont flood Common) That's fair enough Anyway considering that interrupting a weld halfway has no effect it would make more se...

Mickyan

doesn't sound like you have some kind of bias at all

Mickyan

the removal of mothspeak was done on the basis of alleged balance so what's up with that

Mickyan

I once tried playing as a plasmaman without suit, you can survive using a modified vape with a mix of salbutamol and water. Problem is you still catch on fire and even though you get extinguished without taking damage if you stay in the cloud people kept running into me (despite staying out of high ...

Mickyan

I very much enjoy that the curator has shifted towards being the job that handles the more persistent features like display cases and soapstones and would love to see more of that. They might be gimmicks but they're fun gimmicks and it's interesting to see what people have been up to in previous rou...

Mickyan

Now that the freeze is over I'd appreciate if this was taken in serious consideration, whether it's adjusting the values to match the previous functionality or giving moths something in return if it isn't feasible. My understanding is any changes to mutant races need to be pre-approved and I can't i...

Mickyan

There really isn't probable cause for random assistant searches just because they have gloves but excuses are cheap, if you know about break-ins or theft on the station, then it's not unreasonable to conduct random searches to get that gear back. Basically consider this hypothetical situation: - As...

Mickyan

What I mean specifically, is how much we're allowed to consider and exploit patterns in behaviour in between rounds. A concrete example: I have observed many times a certain player that for the vast majority of rounds he's playing (never seen him play anything other than assistant) will rush for the...

Mickyan

I'm not sure what kind of exploit warranted it and I thought balance changes weren't allowed during the feature freeze but whatever, I don't make the rules With the new system playing as a moth you will go completely blind on your first weld. I am not opposed to it per se as a race that's sensitive ...

Mickyan

What's frustrating about being MD is it can go from horribly hectic to almost trivial depending on how competent the chemists are. Most of them seem to spend all of the round making deathmixes/meth and when shit hits the fan there's no meds and no power to make anything. Especially during disease ou...

Mickyan

I forgot this game even existed, most of the Deadbolt soundtrack would work pretty great for this

Spoiler:

Mickyan

What if, and this is a big what if, but what if the base game sans antags was fun. So that when antags are added that threaten things on the station, the crew feel motivated to defend their things rather than roll for the opportunity to break things nobody really cares about losing? This might be c...

Mickyan

Just found this out and I'm surprised I don't see it done every war ops round because it's ridiculously good and literally just requires enough access to use the holodeck and autolathe (which is none on all maps but box). It's already easy as it is and basically trivial if you have access to chemist...

Mickyan

I was making a point about the style rather than necessarily suggesting the actual songs The thing about "sterile" music as you put it is that it doesn't stand out, it's musical wallpaper and therefore far less irritating to listen to constantly compared to something more intense and compl...

Mickyan

I think some people are forgetting this is a jukebox for the bar and not a soundtrack for the server, the last thing you want is to hear an ear piercing intro every time you walk past the bar or god forbid you're the chef and have to put up with the same intense electronic music all round, every rou...

Mickyan

I just tested it, it does work

Also it's better to use rollies (Midori Tabako) since they can store 50u instead of 15

Mickyan

There's a lot of robust drinks and it breaks my heart to see bartenders run off never to be seen again the moment a declaration of war is made. Here's a few not everyone seem to know about that are relatively easy to make: Bloody Mary: Restores lost blood. Brave Bull: Essentially gives you temporary...

Mickyan

Thank you! Please, go for it. I would have asked if nobody offered.

Mickyan

I was a bit reluctant to make the angle any more steep as to not mess with the perspective but then again a lot of drinks have inconsistent view angles so I guess it's fine. It does look better.
