Or just remove them already and replace them on every map with an SM. You can still cause Tesla and SM delams but it can't be done with zero effort almost instantly.

In my experience as an admin ERTs and DS are hardly used because you're generally punishing a player for doing well. That's part of the goal here actually. Punish murderboners for murderboning really hard in a mechanical way that gives them something besides a bunch of unarmed dumbasses to fight. T...

actioninja

Been thinking about this one a while. Something to lengthen rounds, get more people actually playing, and give murderbones a real threat to worry about. Suit sensors activation/death report being below a certain threshold, large amount of fire alarms triggered, high amounts of atmos air alarms, or h...

never got the "clowns HAVE TO wear shooooos" circlejerk. like yeah it's easily a sign of being more robust or whatever, but it's not fucking required It because wearing the shoes is a significant gimp, and if you take them off you're probably either a mega powergamer or up to some shady s...

Making antags require more skill and thought without actually nerfing them directly would only be a good thing. Antags in general are pretty ludicrously overpowered, and it's largely because the average stationgoer has no adequate way to defend themselves unless they go full powergame doomsday prepp...

Remove common, but give every crew member a self-defense tazer in their starting box. Make it like a weakened tazer that can't penetrate armor (like Sec and the captain wear) or hardsuits. I actually kind of like this idea, but separate from the whole common removal side. Give everyone some kind of...

actioninja

It's different this time because I suggested it.

I think it would be worth a second shot though.

How often does actually meaningful interdepartment communication happen on the common channel? It's pretty much always just a "shouting at each other for no good reason" channel. Lack of interaction between departments is entirely a mechanical problem and not a communication problem. If in...

actioninja

Headsets would be tuned to their department instead of common, using ; would send a message to the department radio instead and so on. Assistants would get their own dipshit channel. This would give an actual purpose to a lot of shit in the game like holopads and requests consoles that currently are...

actioninja

I've been saying it for a while now, each department is becoming its own minigame. That's why they scream EMAG whenever they see it, that's because ordering dozens of syndicate crates is par for the course, and if you oppose you gonna get laughed at. The chain of supply from mining through cargo to...

Woah now.
Memes aside, this sounds neat. Med scanners not just showing a straight list of traumas would be definitely a good decision though.

actioninja

It's almost entirely a psychological effect though. I've read a lot into this actually because it's a serious problem in game design. Functionally identical mechanics tend to be received differently if they are presented to the player differently. A really good example is health loss on death in Dem...

actioninja

You could also just up the lethality of common station equipment and items. People are going to be more hesitant to murderbone if every encounter has an element of risk even when you are significantly overpowering them. Or conditionally remove some of the more lethal tools from the standard traitor ...

It's also fucking hilarious to me that you actually think coders don't play the game. oranges cyberboss ninjanomnom iamgoofball if u took a list of the /tg/ maintainers, threw all the names into the hat and picked one out that didn't start with E and end in xcessiveuseofcobblestone, it's a 90% chan...

If you do this, people are just going to break in.

Then the cargo techs can shoot their asses with all the guns they order every round.

I've been writing up a plan for a BRAND NEW(tm) medical system. Here's some ideas I've had that haven't been mentioned: Remove the basic health scanner entirely, make the advanced health scanner purely an in body chem scanner. Replace with examine descriptions that are specific, but don't just outri...

Radical idea: remove the ore silo and move the ORM to inside cargo. Add a method to build "delivery crates" that are single use things you can put on MULEs, and then add a machine that links to the ORM and dispenses a delivery crate full of mats. Cargo would then have to use MULEs or drag ...

If you see something disliked, you should at least take a look at it

Also not necessarily true. Plenty of bad things are loved.
Just to make it clear, not a big fan of stink though.

actioninja

Things being disliked doesn't make them bad.
Making games "for the community" is stupid. Design by committee just results in everyone being unhappy.
It's also fucking hilarious to me that you actually think coders don't play the game. Unless that's some 70d Minecraft bullshit.

actioninja

That's possible to do, but based on what was provided and assuming it's on top of the existing chemical recipes, the optimal way to make all chemicals is fairly trivial (protip: It's what you would do in your hand, just in a machine!). If someone wants to make the chem recipes more involved, well y...

actioninja

Sounds like Jegub is describing a fun game, but I'm not sure that it would be fun as a repetitive, multiplayer game. Once you figure out how to make whatever chemical really fast, you basically just recreate that exact sequence over and over. Even if there's no explicit macro/copy-and-paste/whateve...

Why not just remove big bombs from the standard traitor uplink. The issue isn't and never has been syndie bombs. While super destructive, unless they're on sale you can only get one. And they're expensive enough to discourage people from doing that unless they have a specific plan with it. It's not...

What's wrong with chemistry is that even without macros, clicking buttons on one screen is not engaging gameplay. The reworks here that oranges are proposing WOULD be engaging gameplay. I don't know if any of you have ever gone out of your way to make some of the chems you can't make with just a che...

Can 1.5 just be removed, it's both poorly worded and redundant. It's derailing this thread super hard it's so bad.

The rule clearly states that people who break in at roundstart are valid to be killed by security, no overescalation about it. This was 100% allowed by the rules. Probably not ideal play, but definitely not bannable. I don't believe that you genuinely think that "breaking into cap's office at ...

actioninja

The wording of the rule states that the break in must occur at or near roundstart. It does not give a limitation as to when the punishment can occur. That is what I meant when I wrote that sentence and I apologize for not being clearer. This kind of thinking is exactly why the rules and "polic...

It sure sucks that this is the only server in existence with no alternatives.
It also sucks that you can't just start your own server and do things differently.

While I personally would be more in favor of stricter rules for naming, the current state is fucking stupid no matter what side you're on.

Can you get off this rigging bullshit already? It was funny to start but now it's just pathetic when cats got such a favorable compromise.
