/tg/Station 13

Derelict station's supposed high security research area with the broken turrets and boards starts with every research board EXCEPT for the destructive analyzer, I assume that's not intentional as it's impossible to make a destructive analyzer by normal means. Can somebody please add one?

I'm guessing it is to prevent drones from doing rnd there

research machines are networked though.

Oh I see, is that just to prevent drones from doing RnD on their own like Armhulenn suggested?

No, I'm saying they're networked as in, you have to sync and set up networks, I'm assuming Armhulen's worry is that drone research would accidentally contaminate station research, but in actuality, iirc, they would be kept separate.

They *MIGHT* be linkable over such distances with a multitool, but we can just disable that for the drone DA.

I know they'd be separate, I just don't want rnd drones.

Why not?

I dunno why you wouldn't want RnD drones now that the direlect location is random now and nobody ever visits it. It'd be a good learning experience for ghost roles, and drones have drone laws anyway.

Doesn't golem research already contaminate station's research?

It does but you can also easily teleport to the golem ship anyway, to aid them or set up a two-way network.
