About the F-35, I was having a discussion with someone on youtube about it (I found the one-in-a-million person who was willing to have a rational discussion on youtube) and they said this in one part of the discussion. Yes there are a lot of similarities with the F-111, but the F-111 was mechanica...

I have had the most success with having a reputation for being fair to begin with and then immediately escalating if provoked. Rarely people fucked with me because they knew I'd start bashing their head in the moment they made me chase them. (I don't think I'm very robust, so I had to take extra mea...

Drones have pilots as well, they just don't ride along inside of them. There's still the logistical hurdle (and costs) involved with having someone sit at a control surface somewhere and communicate back and forth with the craft. My "this is bullshit, look at the cost of the drone" stems ...

Wait these planes can hypothetically relay targeting data to each other if they work properly right? All their targeting data is infrared radiation. Aren't they capable of working similar to interferometer array telescopes then to improve angular resolution in groups of planes distances from each o...

I nominate Stan Studnick.

Well, AI can automatically jump to players who are speaking so it really wouldn't be that hard to manage for them.

In addition to this, I think malf AIs should get the ability to hack intercoms to clandestinely transmit to a channel/frequency of their choosing in addition to the one they already transmit and receive on. That should not be free, however.

I'd prefer if heads got a portable ID machine, perhaps one tied to their PDA? Maybe the captain and/or HoP can use an ID console to set the devices to ask permission for changes, or maybe just for promotions or demotions. Having a full-fledged console for all the department heads would fuck up too m...

I think the hallucinations should be situational and input specific, a changeling's hallucination sting able to be dialed to cause a specific type of hallucination would be great. I'd like to see people lose their shit for no reason because they're hallucinating terrible things because a changeling ...

To those people saying meta knowledge would be bad, how about this: If you respawn, your character slot is done for that round. You'll have two other characters to play, meaning everything you know or have learned goes byebye just like if you were a positronic brain, a cyborg, or a golem. Reusing yo...

-nevermind-

Oh? Three hour extended round? Wow. See, I didn't know it was any of that and I didn't know the round was tee hee just for kicks!!! because I had been playing a grand total of what, ten minutes before I went AFK? If I had died from a normal antag, whatever shit happens, I'll be mad about it but hey,...

Byond account and character name: Stan_Studnick - Stan Studnick Admin: Niknakflak Time incident occured: 4:30ish US central Detailed summary: I joined the round, said hello to everyone, and then wandered the halls until I was met by Lilah Novi, there I also found Candice Moore and Sleeps-Without-Reg...

I like the idea, especially if the suit can be punctured and spray plasma everywhere before the pressure inside drops and the oxygen outside gets in and turns the plasmaman and suit into a walking pipebomb.

Can we please have that? I don't think there are enough violent gibbings.

Jade looks so awesome, a lot like I imagined her to look. OH AND FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS A PICTURE: All the cool kids change their Skype/Steam picture to their SS13 character and refers them to this thread if questioned. EDIT: Poor Soothes... :( Still, Fayrik that was a good choice because it really fi...

These are simply great, there's really no other words to describe how awesome this is.

Oh whoa, so now using gibtonite to blow your way inside the core of a ROGUE AI is not allowed? If I remember correctly that AI was Tartaros, and it was rogue as shit as it was murdering everyone, including trying to incinerate me in the core using plasma fire. If you do not care, then why do you po...

Roboticist here who didn't care about any of that. Just a FYI: Komandos Jabol tried to gibtonite bomb the AI the round before, (different AI) was being vehemently "anti-AI" prior to the armory raid, and as far as I can tell was just generally uncooperative. He had threatened several times ...
