How about I remove the lexorin entirely and just up the price to like 200 or something, a typical quick yield is like 1k points, and 10u of hyperzine isn't really as bad as the 30u pills + coffee used to be.

That... would actually be a fair compromise. I'm fine with that.

ExplosiveCrate

I believe it's "acid" that uses the fire sprite.

ExplosiveCrate

I don't see how making an item less useful and actively harmful to miners made their lives easier. If anything, it just makes me less likely to play a non-silicon miner, knowing that I'm going to take damage for a very brief speed boost. I'd rather move around faster for a longer period of time than...

"It's black so it must be for edgy shitlords"

If the jumpsuit had a different name and description you'd never even know it was an allusion to Deus Ex.

ExplosiveCrate

It's actually very easy to make stun revolvers if you know what to deconstruct.With the HoS' help, you could probably mass-produce them about 5 minutes into the round.

ExplosiveCrate

Still, limiting the reagents to a very small number (or, you know, just setting them on fire without any of this reagent bullshit) would probably be the best way to handle this. Otherwise it doesn't seem like it would matter how many stacks you had as long as that reagent was in your system. And app...

Mining is too easy. Remove kinetic accelerators from the starting voucher options for miners and make them irradiate the user for every shot. What, can't handle mining without MUH GUNS? You should be glad that accelerators still exist, I can't fucking believe how entitled miners are especially when ...

ExplosiveCrate

Speedballing all of the pills so late-game mining could become bearable was the entire fucking point of the pills. Mining was actually fun when you didn't have to spend ten fucking minutes getting from the station to the dig site after delivering your first batch of minerals.

ExplosiveCrate

How long SHOULD it last, though? Even a couple of seconds is enough to drop someone to half health, and that's not even counting the damage from the melee attacks.

The blobs shouldn't even set people on fire. Having a big moving wall that deals a shitload of damage is enough.

ExplosiveCrate

Right, so the blob can spawn blobbernauts by sacrificing factory nodes. Sure, it might seem like a good trade-off. A continuous stream of minions for one very powerful minion. I support the idea, even. The problem is the blobbernaut's special ability. That is, if you get hit by one and you aren't we...

ExplosiveCrate

Except that without the inaction cause the AI turns into an even bigger passive aggressive dick, especially since it doesn't have to do anything except follow any human orders without considering the consequences.

ExplosiveCrate

Yep. You'd need two people to carry the chunks over to the satellite, and you can't throw anything to change directions is space since gibtonite takes up both slots. If you don't take out the two turrets you're going to need even more to avoid getting chainstunned.

Wrong thread

ExplosiveCrate

Would a hacked law stating "The following laws are to be followed in reverse order." work?

ExplosiveCrate

Give borgs their stunning flashes back.

ExplosiveCrate

. Had that mob just come to my window and said in a startling majority "we want to go home," I would have had no problem just letting the timer run down and ending the round. The problem with that is that from what I can gather nobody even knew you were the one recalling the shuttle until...

ExplosiveCrate

I was the only cyborg that round and while I was busy most of the round running around the asteroid (and later maint, trying to find who was recalling the shuttle) trying to be as helpful as a mining borg can be, I did end up running into the HoP once with Alie in the cargo bay. They had bolted the ...

ExplosiveCrate

I'm not sure about it, but probably people who died while being on fire as well. Toxins bursts into flames, scientist is deleted from the round ggnore Fire melts the floor and dies down because space is cold. Scientist is still dead, but able to come back into the round. Unless he reinforces the en...

ExplosiveCrate

I really hope this flies under the media radar so the devs can't cash in on the controversy dollars.

ExplosiveCrate

That's only assuming that burn damage is used instead of atmospheric temperature. And even then, IIRC burn damage stops being applied after death unless you actively hit the limbs with lasers/welders.

ExplosiveCrate

I can't use WASD with my laptop without putting my arms in uncomfortable positions.

But hey, at least I have a numpad so it's not so bad.

ExplosiveCrate

At least he was understanding and didn't get butthurt about it.

RIP Donk Demolitions Operative #1, you were a true inspiration.

ExplosiveCrate

You could also ask botany for one of their trays and a pack of soy seeds so you can produce am infinite amount of carpotoxin. There's even an incredibly useful medicine that you can make out of it, so the CMO shouldn't get on your ass for having koi beans.

ExplosiveCrate

To elaborate on that, kudzu is a mutation of common weeds, and kudzu itself has many, many mutations. Some eat plasma, some actually strangle people, some act like impassable walls.

ExplosiveCrate

Yes, I'm asking if doing that could potentially get you banned or not.

ExplosiveCrate

Did we ever even get an answer on whether chefs/bartenders can kill/seriously injure people who tablehop/try to tablehop into their workplaces?

ExplosiveCrate

A lot of people can't use hotkeys because they're using a laptop/keyboard without a numpad.

ExplosiveCrate

Aside from making projectiles actually hit Beepsky without having to click on his tiny-ass moving sprite, I'm all for replacing Beepsky's metal cuffs with biodegradable zipties, if only to prevent Assistants from gaining free cuffs. But yeah, Beepsky's not really overpowered. Could use some tweaks, ...

ExplosiveCrate

Splitting the emag into two items is an interesting idea.. Remove the emag's ability to open doors and introduce a new item that lets you do one of two things: instantly open a door, breaking it in the process (like the current emag), or take some time to hack the door and take full control of it (t...

Becoming a slime person (not an actual slime) draws from your alien color preference. Thus, you can become a spoopy ghost by setting it to white.

ExplosiveCrate

The problem with stealthy antags without robust weapons is that they're incredibly boring for everyone except maybe the antag. If they do their job, nothing changes within the round. If they fail, they're left defenseless against security, get gibbed, and change nothing within the round.

didn't allow silicons to straight up kill most antagonists. 1. Safeguard: Protect your assigned space station to the best of your ability. 3.

ExplosiveCrate

I honestly never saw a suggestion on that thread that didn't allow silicons to straight up kill most antagonists. Which is, you know, one if the reasons Asimov is used right now.

ExplosiveCrate

Asimov is shit, but it's the only lawset that has the AI be a completely neutral force. As far as I know, nobody's made a good alternative that didn't tilt the AI in favor of the crew/station.

And you'd be an idiot to not expect the same number of specific policies if the default lawset was changed.

ExplosiveCrate

What would removing assistants even accomplish? Limiting the amount of total characters (note, characters, not players) on a server? Shifting all of the regular assistant players to a different job without actually changing the way they play?

ExplosiveCrate

>instant delivery of neurotoxin to grayshirts is useless

ExplosiveCrate

They can use the old smelter at the mining outpost, it just won't generate points. Not like borgs can use points anyways.

ExplosiveCrate

To be fair, you are putting your life in the hands of another player, who could easily screw you over and pass it off as lag.

ExplosiveCrate

You can keep the bot from moving by using a mining scanner on it, which sets it to attack mode, and hitting it with a satchel dumps everything in its inventory. It's more useful as a mining crate that can shoot stuff.

But yeah, mining isn't really a problem after the buffs to mineral spawn rates.

ExplosiveCrate

It's surprisingly easy to be stealthy on goon, with all the hidden nooks and crannies, plants that you can hide in, and the ability to switch outfits instantly.

ExplosiveCrate

Because ripleys are the embodiment of suck.

No, but it'll keep the body from gibbing at the very least!

ExplosiveCrate

Yeah, outright eliminating assistant antag is a horrible idea that would just validate valid seeking vigilantes. Reducing it to around half is the best way to go about this.

ExplosiveCrate

I remember admins mentioning that it isn't valid to sniff out the cult with the bugged construct mechanics.

ExplosiveCrate

Isn't Araneus just a resprited space bat though

ExplosiveCrate

Can it actually get out of the explosion radius of gibtonite now?

ExplosiveCrate

But that takes way more time than just clicking once on a beaker with another beaker. The point here is that you have an almost-instant and easily-spammable method of creating smoke without sacrificing the clown for a Smoke spell book.

ExplosiveCrate

Using the medbelt to store first aid equipment is a waste of valuable space. You're better off keeping everything in the medkit and filling your belt with pills and beakers of tricord/DD.

ExplosiveCrate

But their presence did encourage miners to actually do their jobs, even if there is no RnD staff. If you removed the point system and moved everything to the protolathe miners would have no reason to do anything if nobody in researching, even if there's a ton of other jobs that occasionally need the...

ExplosiveCrate

Because that's really their only offensive ability. Without it it'd be impossible for drones or hunters to grab humans, specially now that there's a whole bunch of facehugger-proof masks and helmets.

I mean, they are supposed to be a button that admins press when the round gets stale.
