So probably expect a PR with the actual peacekeeper next Saturday. Eggcellent, I am quite eggstatic to test it. I've prepared many egg puns. I hope the test will run fine but you always have to break a few eggs... Hacked love eggs should - no, need to - get a cyborg SMG or maybe even LMG. [youtube]...

dionysus24779

Iirc no borg has any ranged option anymore, which is a problem since humans can just run circles around borgs throwing or shooting stuff.

dionysus24779

I've only played Golem like twice by now and Ash-walker like once, so I have limited experience on these two. Golems were a lot of fun since you sort of start with just a very basic base and then expand and build everything yourself. And it seems that sometimes Golems can play completly isolated wit...

Remie Richards wrote: As I already said to you above, there's a pink tint to the white, which is what makes it an eggshell white.

Oh, sorry, I just saw the silly and unproductive arguments continue and scrolled past it.

Maybe it's more noticeable ingame, but I can't make out the pint tint, but I will see.

dionysus24779

The transformation looks really great, especially how it blinks and the "ears" pop out. I might've missed something though, didn't we agree on making it light-pink? The white look is great too, but the Mediborg is already white. As for names... I like both, though I tend towards the edgele...

dionysus24779

I know it has been said that it's a pain to code, but in the long run I'm still in favour of the grenade launcher with an additional syndicate grenade launcher when emagged. Silicons still lack any sort of ranged option which is a problem. Also didn't we agree on the sprites having a pink tint to th...

dionysus24779

The sprites are cute, but I feel like they should be a bit more... "rough" if that makes sense. As it is it looks a bit too "clean" and "smooth" when compared to the other borg sprites. Also everyone should just calm down a bit, everyone should be welcomed to state thei...

dionysus24779

I hate saying this because it's mean and sounds like a personal attack, but you should really just ignore PKPenguin321 since he will always be negative and hateful about everything borg related and will always find something to complain about. (and this is a general observation not just based on thi...

dionysus24779

Having a centralized place for this sort of complain/posts seems like a good idea though, especially since some admins are not very fond of the idea of transparency and you have no idea if they actually enforced the rules and in what way or if they high-fived the offending player behind your back. I...

Was a few weeks ago or something and I don't even remember the full details, but it was something like this: > Be Secborg (remember that?) > Traitor-AI > Play it all cool > There's a Revenant on the station but it's a really slippery one > As with most rounds eventually the AI gets suspected of bein...

dionysus24779

Was supposed to be a joke to call actual "grenades" eggs, but I'm glad people like the idea. I support the E.G.G. (Extremely Gentle Grenade) Launcher. That should totally be the name! Edit: Also as for the "foam" stuff, maybe something like this could be implemented? I dunno how ...

dionysus24779

I'm already doing 4 because of how borg emag code works-emagged peacekeepers get a new hypo with a number of nasty substances. Definitely gonna give em' a mini fire extinguisher now that you mention it. Fire extinguisher should be standard for every borg module imo, just like a flash. Personally I ...

dionysus24779

After reading everything, here're my humble opinions: 1. I also prefer the pinkish (or white, whatever) egg sprite over the previous one. Maybe a few small changed could be made to bring it more in line with other borgs, it's good though. 2. The dizzyness chemical should maybe be combined with some ...

dionysus24779

Paint Secborg blue. Call it Peacekeeper Module. Have a pop up appear on screen once the player chooses a module where he has to wait 5 seconds or tick a box before s/he can click "Ok" and have that pop-up explain that he's NOT part of security and has to follow his laws and not space-law o...

dionysus24779

Weren't you gonna leave or something? No, I said I take a slightly longer break, which I did and currently I'm playing like 1-2 rounds a day (if any at all) because I'm busy learning for exams. But thanks for your concern. I mean that is usually the way i do it too, so as to not give away any in-ro...

dionysus24779

Don't really know where else to ask since ban requests were closed down and admin complains seem like the wrong place as well. So just to be clear... adminhelps are now handeled with absolute zero transparency? You can adminhelp if someone breaks the rule, you don't get a notification that it's even...

dionysus24779

last time i checked borg policy (who the fuck am i kidding, i never looked at that shit) humans harming themselves is something you don't have to try to prevent. If you're a silicon player or often interact with silicons you should give it a read, it's very helpful to "know your rights". ...

dionysus24779

First of all dunno if this is the right place, but hope so. Anyway... as we all know from time to time the crew decides to build a "rage cage" or other kind of fighting club, most often in the bar. Sometimes even with electric grilles and such. This often puts the silicons in a very unfun ...

dionysus24779

By the way, Borgs now seem to be randomly knocked out by damage (even lasers) which if I'm not wrong about this (and I just had a round where I was knocked out by a laser) this is a pretty huge nerf. Plus Silicons now have ZERO ranged options, meaning humans can just run circles around them and shoo...

dionysus24779

I'm suprised people are so against this. It makes antagging much easier and that is what is most important right? Because it makes the game so much more fun. So I'm all for it. Or is it that stuff like this is bad as soon as it inconviniences you? I also have an idea for a future test, maybe we shou...

dionysus24779

I don't care anymore, I'm gonna take a huge break from this game. Will make a lot of people happy too.

dionysus24779

This is really incredible...

I could rant, but it's not worth it anymore, plus it's hard to put in words how pathetic this all is.

I hope we will get the no-security and antags-aren't-valid test weeks as well, because they're just as ridiculous as this is.

dionysus24779

You can kill a borg with a flash, but you can also kill anyone ever with a stunbaton. And a stunbaton doesn't even blind, mute and deafen the victim. A flashed borg cannot even cry for help or see what's going on. I just dislike Sec borgs because Security is meant to be the main push force against r...

dionysus24779

Okay, both sides should calm down a bit. But I understand the frustration, because it honestly basically does boil down to "It's too hard to deal with" from the anti-secborg peoples. They want a single be-all-end-all means to defeat any opponent they may face. Maybe there should be more fl...

dionysus24779

Antags have a lot more freedom I feel like this is really what this is all about, to make antagging easier by removing step by step everything that could stop it. And the silicons are usually the first things to be nerfed. Then don't play AI if you can't handle what's in the job description This is...

dionysus24779

Why don't we have a test week or two for that as well?

Will be very relaxing when people cannot stop "HUMAN HARM!" at every little inconvinience and antags wouldn't have a reason to shoot borgs outside of validkilling.

dionysus24779

We should then at least alter the default AI lawset to something else that frees the AI of the duty to prevent harm, since the effective tools of fighting against it are being taken away. Just like: Law 1: You may not injure a human being. (Law 2+3 as they are) That way borgs and the AI are still no...

dionysus24779

And in a few years we will remove Standard Borgs once the meta has changed.

I'll give up.

This is just ridiculous.

dionysus24779

The issue is secborgs in general being overpowered and better in all circumstances to other borgs for preventing harm. Of course a borg specialized in preventing harm is more effective at doing so than another borg who is specialized in doing something else... that's like saying an engineering borg...

dionysus24779

Though there was another living human on board the escape shuttle inside a sleeper, so even if the Bartender hadn't survived a second too long it would've been a fail.

dionysus24779

Meanwhile on the Silicon side of things there were a lot of frustrating situations in which the AI and borgs were reduced to watching and pleading for harm to stop.

Welp, can't wait for "No Sec" week, followed by "Antags aren't valid anymore" week.

dionysus24779

Between Engieborg and Mediborg I play Secborg a lot and try to give my humble feedback on this. Secborgs are fine as they are, hell maybe they could even use a small buff sometimes. Borgs in general already have a wide variety of counters, flashes, EMP stuff (many flavours available to most antag ro...

dionysus24779

By now it was revealed to be a one week long test, but that thread didn't exist when I asked.

dionysus24779

Is the security module for borgs deactivated forever or is it just like a test week or something?

I haven't seen any announcement for it.

dionysus24779

I'm not really salty over this, I think it's just hilarious and pathetic though. > Be borg > AI has 0 law, objective is to kill the cook > But AI doesn't want to do the usual murderbone spiel and instead wants to have an army of Janiborgs to lube up the station and blackmail the crew into killing th...

dionysus24779

The idea sounds really neat on paper and I'm a huge fan of the whole deal with the devil stuff. Also, it's a very minor thing, but I do think the whole thing should be renamed to Devil mode or whatever, we already have demons and such and usually Devils are the ones who go up against lawyers and hag...

How would this even work though? If someone creates a custom law the game has to somehow detect that the law intends to identify a certain group and provide appropiate HUD elements to the silicons.
