Blobs and Nuclear Codes

Post by Helios » #155580

Blobs are the only mode where Nuclear codes are often requested, but as a blob there is no way to counter them unless you are near the vault or happen to kill the captain.
The mode where it makes the most sense to use, it isn't authorized as it isn't fair for blobs.
Is this possible to fix?

requesting nuke codes is just a meme/only viable in xeno-and-or-zombie rounds

Isn't the whole point of a blob round for the crew to set off the nuke? It's not like they'll be able to beat the blob.

Nuke codes are automatically sent out after an hour I think?

Just a way to resolve stalemates with an "everyone loses" scenario, but blob round rarely last more than 40 minutes anyways.

Nuke codes would more be for an event bleb (Which can't 'win', and so drag the round out forever) or xenoes, rather than the blob gamemode.

Well, can we have automatic rejection then?
Or have it built in so that if the round lasts over an hour the codes are sent?

At around 45 minutes it does automatically send the nuke codes, it's just that blob really never GETS that long.

Crew should actually be trying to fight the blob. Nanotrasen doesn't send you out there to run away at the first sign of trouble.

Make nuking the station count as a minor blob victory to stop the "Blob? Call for nuke codes!" at roundstart. Most people hate letting the antags win.

This is ironic, nuke code requests were added for blob.

Can we have an automatic post level 5, but not beforehand where Centcomm replies "Centcomm still wants you to fight more. If by 12:45 you cannot defeat the blob they will send nuke codes"?

ASKING FOR NUKE CODES DOES NOTHING BY ITSELF.
It just sends a message to admins. It's basically like sending a message to centcom. Doesn't even set the nuke with a code or anything. If it's not the 45 minute auto nuke code, then an admin sent the cldes.

Actually I added them because I was making the vault nuke into the self-destruct system we have today and a button to ask for nuke codes seemed thematically cooler.
