slowspace

[Saintish]

i come back from a permaban and this shit still isn't gone
why
why
why
do i really have to explain yet again why it's terrible
normally i support the policy of "improve don't remove" but making jetpacks faster doesn't make slowspace a good feature, it just makes it a tolerable feature
goofchem is actually pretty cool, i'm glad that's still here
but jesus h christ slowspace was almost universally agreed to be a terrible feature. a large portion of people thought it was a BUG when it was first introduced

Thanks

Because no one understands that 'removing slowspace' means 'no slowdown in zero grav environments regardless of equipment'.

Basically, we wound up with a partial revert where if you're wearing anything that weighs you down or naturally slows you, you go as slow as mollases in zero grav or space, which kind of defeats the whole point of sabotaging the gravgen as a non-AI (which, I might add, only happens once in a blue moon these days).

So yeah, throw up a poll. I dunno why anyone HASN'T done a full revert, given that slowspace just makes anyone with one of the two jetpacks on the station unstoppable, instead of just 'slightly more difficult to kill compared to other people going the same speed'.

It was so awesome moving at the speed of sound with a jetpack in the main halls as an op gunning torwards the captain
