GAMEPLAY ZONE

There exists in the codebase an unused species called a "corporate agent", meant to be an extremely fast, extremely strong antihuman threat, unfortunately, this code never saw use. This is what we are fixing here.

Basically, a highly-trained special operative may be deployed on the station whenever a:

Bluespace Artilley is built.
Meteor Shield is built.
Maximized cloning rig is built.
DNA vault is built.
Phazon is built.

The completion of any of these items for the first time fires the probability for an agent to be sent to the station; with various stealth gear including but not limited to: a portable potted plant, a camotechnology cardboard box and smoke grenades, in addition, the operative is trained in CQC. The operative is given the objective to sabotage said device.

In addition, indoors fultons are at the agent's disposal and must be used to extract specific on-station personnel from the battlefield.

LORE ZONE

The Syndicate has learned that Nanotrasen has developed cutting-edge technology that could change the battlefield permanently, this is obviously not something The Syndicate wants, and thus, the highest skilled soldier-agent - and one of the last living specimens of Homo Sapiens - has been voted among The Syndicate CORGIHOUND team and deployed to the station.

Secretly, however, The Syndicate is in cahoots with Nanotrasen, working out a deal in order to exchange valuable genetic material belonging to the rare Homo Sapiens; the technology narrative is nothing but a lure and bait for the agent that The Syndicate wishes to sell like livestock.

ASSETS ZONE

You're extracting him?

oh yeah they have indoors fultons and have an objective to fulton X individuals or specific personnel

such undercover
much blend

>do station goal

>get rewarded with an antag

Cant this be a special protagonist role or something?

>undercover agent

>looks really massive dumb and snowflakey

alright have fun fitting in and sneaking along

getting sent some private sec to defend the item would be kinda neat

why don't we just pull it out of the code admins can already varedit things to the same stats? it's never seen use even in admin events.

Wait I thought humans were homo sapiens

code maintainers are craz-e

They are, the crew are spessman - Homo Sapiens Spessman to be precise. Centuries of genetic engineering to create a workforce ideal for working onboard a space station have created an entire new subspecies genetically distinct from Homo Sapiens Sapiens.

dont worry the stealth training and equipment they have makes this a non-issue

by the time you do a station goal you have enough research to build high-tech energy firearms and extremely dangerous mechas out of the wazoo, and by the time you're building those you probably killed all or most existing antags which is what turns the round into extended allowing for this development in the first place.

this just gives the crew something to fight at that point of time.

giving it a normal sprite would make this work

but i really can't imagine how you could add these humans without them being simplemobs with hands, and that really dumbs it down

im already one billion meters ahead if you in terms of that, if you plan to continue mushroom people, use that system, it was very difficult to create that species without such a system in place but now that you will (soon) have access to it, you can finish what i started.

which means that yes these will be complete humans with all of their functionality

Okay but what about sprites for every uniform and stuff, taking damage on limbs and all that

the head's in a different shape, the chest is in a different shape, you'd need different sprites for clothing and stuff

dont worry ill give them a small wardrobe of things to wear, as for hair, most styles fit on their heads anyways, and so do boots

Why dont they have genitals?

do you want a dick and balls on them

Big ol' balls that you can swing at people to stun them

I'm coding the project sabotage but I'll be using a synth that can buy implants and augments instead

so a traitor but this time you can only heal with synthflesh

No, but even that would be better than what you're planning pal

time will tell my friend

What is the point of making them a snowflakey different race other than as a shitty MGS ref? I think the premise is cool as an alternative to ninja but the new race seems utterly pointless

Wouldn't sneak character be better if he's able to actually disguise as the crew

im confident in my motives and intentions, but it appears that explaining is pointless. you'll have to see for yourself if and when it gets testmerged.

ciao.

Okay I see but i still think its a shitty ref and gameplay and code wise makes no sense to not have them be normal humans. Its not like Snake is some kind of deformed musclebound megahuman in relation to all the other humans in MGS

the LORE as it stands here and now is that spacemen arent really completely "human"

this is my way of making them extremely noticable should their stealth fail, because as it stands right now u can walk around the halls with a syndie dufflebag and never run into trouble

sorry arm, i refuse to make shitty, unfun and unimaginative content with minimal effort because the headmins want it it so :^)

mushroom people aren't shutty unfun and unimaginative content now mush mush

kor'll probably give gbp to people to make planetstation content anyways

So my opinion has changed somewhat given that making the agents distinct has a direct gameplay implication, however i still think there are better ways to do it than making them a mutant mass large human.
