I mean, there's spaghetti code, then there's whatever that is.

The simple fix, then, is to buff Disablers before switching them with tasers. Two hits a knockdown, three, tops. You have to keep in mind that people are going to be sax'ing like mad after the first hit (possibly after the draw), so you want the first hit to apply enough damage to cause a slowdown. ...

Steelpoint wrote:Don't forget that Disablers require around 5 hits to knock a target down, but have 20 round's in reserve.

Five hits? Holy shit, that's terrible. You're never going to get five hits off once they start sax'ing - You'll be lucky to get three. Buff posthaste.

To my knowledge, TG Code tried to deal with the issue by reducing stun times across the board, alongside a global speed nerf. This was complete shit, and was universally reviled. This is not the place for this sort of misinformation. Keep the political bullshit out of these threads or they will be ...

Comparing Baystation to TG Station is a bad idea, due to the massive difference in player behaviour between the player bases. All I am seeing this as right now is a massive nerf to Security in favour of antags. I'm not a fan of that. I've been playing Baycode for the past two months-ish. It's so mu...

Oh. Also acceptable, but less fun/cool.
I still say it's something that shouldn't be immediately obvious.

Make it an implant or something equally not immediately obvious.

So, we bug SoS? Or...?

C'mon man, I've got a lynch mob all ready and formed up for this.

I guess you're right on the count of E-Bows, but half the point of E-Bows is the stun. Even if you give them 80 holodamage for the doubletap game, they're still just a cheaper, quieter, pocketable, non-redtexting, ammo-regenerating Traitor Revolver - Remember that the Tvolver is a two-hit crit , an...

I wouldn't mind having the default be corporate, honestly; while it has its ambiguities, it's more interesting to play and thematic(!) to the setting.

I've made this exact thread with these exact points about twice before.

I can't think of a way to make an ion power not suck for the AI. It has so many cool tactical benefits but I know for a fact both deities are gonna rush-kill the AI asap and it literally cannot do anything to stop gods from robusting it with EMP spam.

Just putting in my two cents on it (though I'm sure a bunch of sperging retards that don't actually understand or TRY to understand Asimov will crawl out of the woodworks and say I'm wrong). The whole silicon policy is kinda dumb. Not because it's nonfunctional, but because it's taking a system inh...

So long as EVERY other stun weapon in the game is nerfed to compensate, this includes C20r-SMG's, Ebows, Magic Missiles, Marauders Stun Machine Gun and everything else. It would be a MASSIVE change to the game that would need a lot of attention and prior announcement, not something we drop on the p...

and was universally reviled. Not really. That being said, I think your idea has promise. Stun is just a shit mechanic as it is right now. If it's good enough for every other fork of SS13 , it's good enough for us. If it's good enough for two of the three most popular SS13 servers, it's good enough ...

Does the armory start with them? Do they spawn in Security lockers? Why even use them, if one-hit-stun tasers are not only standard issue, but objectively better ? Why go out of your way, dealing with another department entirely, for equipment that is worse than what you already have? The entire poi...

I am just saying there's no point in coming in Box thread to say Metastation is better because Box has a satellite AI, when Metastation has a satellite AI. I never said it was better because satelite AI. I said it was better in every way. I also said that Box is old and outdated, and that I think i...

I think we can all agree that the current stun-based combat is varying degrees of shitty. We're all robust enough that I don't really need to explain how and why. To my knowledge, TG Code tried to deal with the issue by reducing stun times across the board, alongside a global speed nerf. This was co...

Mind-controlling collars is one of my myriad fetishes.

Yeah, I do play only arcade. Mostly because I am casul babby who doesn't have a joystick, and Historical Battle's mouse joystick is complete shit.

Low-hanging fruit? Low-hanging fruit. You mean the achievements? Those are ment to be easy to get. Slip It Up: Slip 50 people with your PDA as a clown. BZZT!: Emag Beepsky.

Low-hanging fruit.

Runtimes: Isn't that just a problem with buggy code, though? Can't that be fixed? I mean, if Baymed calls bay-specific functions & values, can't you port those too? Values/Severity: I agree, actually. Full-on baymed is hilariously lethal, which is why I suggested /vg/ or a similar toned-down ver...

Box is a too-old design that's continually updated to stay competitive. There's plenty of other maps to run and Metastation is objectively better in every way.

Complaint withdrawn. My experiences with HG carry over from TGStation - That is, he's absent. I've very rarely seen him on, and his M.O. seems to be coming back every so-often, issuing a questionable ban often resulting in an FNR-storm, and then disappearing for another few months to repeat the cycl...

I will say what I've said before. Baymed makes antag play nearly impossible in a server like this because the second you have an injury that REQUIRES someone else to help you fix your game is over. You can't get treatment if you're going loud, you're left to die a slow death because Petey McGreytid...

I used to like WT, until I realized that, past Tier 2, it's a paper plane fight. Everyone has cannons, but nobody can actually soak cannonfire. Famously durable fighters like the F6F or the P-47 come apart just as fast at 109s or infamously fragile Zeros when they fall under my Spitfire's 20mm. Espe...

How many times has exactly this thread been made? The short of it is that Baymed makes fighting a lot more deadly, dangerous things a lot more dangerous, and a competent medbay staff a lot more important. You will die more often, health is harder to replenish, and serious injuries are serious. Being...
