If you are going to do security buffs do so via gear changes and not via traits. Adding mindshield firing pins to all their weapons would be a huge buff, and adding it to BATONS would be an even bigger one. Giving all security officers a death alarm implant would also be a significant buff to them w...

I mean, factorio mining would be pretty fun. especially if you had to solve engineering problems such as power generation to get it to function. One of the most interesting projects is making geothermal energy on lavaland, but its utterly useless. Previously another person suggested a more engineeri...

Plasma gun damage was nerfed so hard to make them unattractive as a weapon. Nerfing the brute and laser armor on the mobs would probably be enough. Stationside weapons fighting megafauna should be ok as they have the distinct disadvantage of using ammo. If a miner wants to ask for a combat shotgun t...

Same suggestion I made for Cere I will make for you. putting medbay in a far off location will make actually saving people hell, so consider adding medical stations with gear for patient stabilization. Basically a table with bandages, epinephrine, and roller beds with a medical tileset. Transit tube...

Cult is too powerful as it is, the reason the shuttle is called asap is because cult snowball is almost inevitable unless you completely snuff them out. Which was caused by poor balance decisions based on cult winrates. Cult winrates being as low as they were because the crew's only win condition w...

What really concerns me going forward is as the medical system changes getting the shit kicked out of you will actually matter. An assistant running around causing shit to get in fights will now actually be a serious problem as they are a drain on the limited amount of manpower and resources medbay ...

If a simple "knock it off" message from an admin isnt enough to stop someone from being a dick then they deserve a ban for it. An admin saying "loljustkillthem" mean that admin is shitty. Escalation should not be an excuse for admins to pass the buck of dealing with griefers to ...

I'd rather give all the borgs a stun arm combat upgrade (isn't this already a malf power) than keep the stun on the flash Or bring back secborgs? eh? eh? joking aside, secborg baton has a superhigh energy cost when used so that would be a good baseline for other borgs if the "combat upgrade&qu...

Escalation is how you can ensure proper, organic conflict even from non-antags. Between players, most of the time it works. But if someone goes from, say, being slipped and then buckshotting someone to death, well that's just them being a cunt. And yes, not making an effort to bring them back into ...

Personally I wanted to see fusion require powered shielding to actually do, seeing as temperatures at those heat levels should destroy ordinary materials that the station is made out of (immediately venting to space) That's a bit of an understatement. Here's the boiling point of a bunch of metals ....

The escalation issue is a direct result imo of the lack of actual gameplay present for people to entertain themselves properly. It's not entirely at fault but over time, and it has been a long time, it has contributed towards the attitude, 'ease' of which it is used, and just general acceptance. To...

Murdering someone as a non-antag used to net you a dayban. This lead to a situation where security could actually tell who the fucking criminals are because everyone on the crew wasnt a homicidal maniac who uses murder to solve all their problems. Escalation made security's job fucking impossible. ...

So why is a heat threshold on hardsuits reasonable but a heat threshold on walls, pipes, and canisters unreasonable?

Once i reached 4*10^30 K in a canister. You can't put logic in a game, otherwise many things that are present should be removed, like if you go to space with a shirt only you die in 2 seconds because you should literally explode from the inside due to the low pressure Also fusion in distro takes ti...

Dr_bee

Seriously, someone reached 18,873,400,000,000C on the escape shuttle by pumping fusion into the distro.

Tungsten vaporizes at 5930C the surface of a class O star is only around 49726.85.

The canister should vaporize before even getting near that point.

Getting killed from ranged telepathic entities is never fun, and it would be incredibly frustrating to lose an antag round because some hivemind mind-controlled you into attacking the captain. I don't think they're really side-antag material. Mind control is only after the obvious one mind mode is ...

Did the heat of the fire cause the fucking fire color system to overflow from white to black? jesus christ.

Augments currently suck because unlike a non-augmented person. It takes a very long time for a welder to heal you. People don't always have time to waste being healed. Like miners fighting megafauna and such. So buff it or combo it with aug repair nanites. You get a pretty substantial damage resist...

I am a sucker for a good construction game, so I tend to roll Engineer. Its the job that allows you to play around with the most systems in the game, and it lets me flex the lego building child in me with fun builds.

I would love to have a cult based around a fixed number of cultists who gain powers by sacrificing people. We already did that, and it was fucking awful. I'll say that again, bring back papercult. Back then it had a shit interface and everyone was just turned into constructs instead. That was also ...

I agree with you. But try to do it without the playerbase screaming its fucking head off.

Dr_bee

While I like it in theory, the balance leaves alot to be desired. For example it is possible to have 15 antags active with a total crew of around 40.

That point it stops being fun to play a non-antag and starts being a shitshow.

Redpill me on Dynamic gamemode Imagine being a traitor trying to escape on an escape pod alone. But then A Ling, A Valid-Hunter and another traitor see you and try to get into your pod. And you get into a fight you brutally lose. Imagine it being like that nigh every round. One gamer versus multipl...

Dr_bee

Great idea. While we're at it, revert cult back to tome and talisman days. this. i hate having the action buttons all over my screen The talismans also allowed security to disarm a cultist of their weapons fully. The current spell system means you are better off just murdering a cultist if you catc...

Maybe take some ideas from nuke ops. Crew Major Victory: Sacrifice target is alive, cult leaders are killed. Crew Minor Victory: Cult leaders are killed, sacrifice target is dead. Neutral Win: The shuttle leaves the station with the sacrifice target on it. Cult Minor Victory: The sacrifice target i...

For the longest time bloodcult has had the same design problem. The crew has no win condition besides calling the shuttle. This has lead to a skewed winrate for cult, because there is no incentive for the crew to actually fight the cult. The buffs to cultists like talisman-less spells, and cult bola...

Dr_bee

by the logic that "the station is supposed to be flawed" you shouldn't be able to use a better SM setup because that would make it harder to sabotage. Pretty massive double standard. security man bad antags are ENTITLED to those guns This is the thinking that people sadly take seriously. ...

Dr_bee

If the dynamic game mode gets fully implemented it has an in built method for incentivizing perma over killing and borging in that murdering an antag opens up the threat slots used to spawn them for a ghost or latejoin. So in dynamic, you are better off keeping tabs on a confirmed antagonist than mu...

If the GPS was moved under the self destruct bomb it would be an actual solution That's a good idea, let me PR that. Edit: Turns out that the voice changer mask contains the GPS signal.

Oranges is going hard on making people actually document their PRs in the code to prevent this kind of confusion. Say what you will about orange man, but that is a good change to make.

Did you know comms agents have an internal GPS? Did you know this makes it stupid easy to shoot them with a BSA? The GPS is in a crate in the storage room. Ive actually shot the comms agent with a BSA for just this reason, it blew up the supply room and part of the chemistry lab, but nothing else. ...

Gee it is almost like those races have an intended weakness, and sometimes that weakness fucks them.

Also the gygax is not as great as youd think.

Or buy the raven battlecruiser and watch the xenos try to break through lasers and shields.

Medborg tools are baseline but have 100% success chance no matter where the surgery is performed. So you can, for example, do a liver transplant on the bar-room floor with no risk of failure. That would imply the medborg can pick up the liver and shove it in. the patient can do that unless he's unc...

Arent engieborg tools better than regular tools by default?

The design around them was that engieborgs would be better right off the bat but humans could get better tools with rare tech.

I think the current engieborg tools are slightly faster than the jaws of life tier tools anyway.

The armory is designed as a "secure area" by default. Also nice joke. Really. To be fair, the only places more secure than that are the vault, AI upload, SM, gravity gen, and the bridge...wait hold on, why is the bridge more secure than the fucking armory? Unless you're talking about the ...
