[Poll] The great wizard den war

[allura]

steelpoint and i both have come up with revisions to the wizard shuttle, because in its current state you can see surrounding structures from z2 with x-ray, and if we're moving the den we might as well re fuckin make it

steelpoint's revision:

according to steelpoint, the idea of the shuttle is that you have just been bombarded and, given your shuttle is totally wrecked, you're hopping to ss13 to steal the evacuation shuttle.

my revision:

my idea is fuck that noise, how about just a small ship that does what it needs to do?

haha i voted for my own

[Steelpoint]

Just for reference, I've highlighted exactly what areas of the ship the Wizard can access.

Steelpoint's is cooler, as I'm all about extra nicknacks, but I wish there was a little more to it... I don't know what.

Also, please tell me those aren't uranium walls.

[Scott]

I hope those uranium walls are fake.

[allura]

they are

[FrostFenex]

Steel Points 100% as it's more intresting and it gives the wizard another reason to go to the station(rp wise).

[Pybro]

Can't the Wizard just break down the Uranium windows there? Or are they invincible?

[Scones]

What's stopping Phase Jaunt from getting into those other rooms?

What's stopping Phase Jaunt from getting into those other rooms?

Code: Select all

/obj/effect/proc_holder/spell/targeted/ethereal_jaunt
	name = "Ethereal Jaunt"
	desc = "This spell creates your ethereal form, temporarily making you invisible and able to pass through walls."

	school = "transmutation"
	charge_max = 300
	clothes_req = 1
	invocation = "none"
	invocation_type = "none"
	range = -1
	cooldown_min = 100 //50 deciseconds reduction per rank
	include_user = 1
	centcom_cancast = 0 //Prevent people from getting to centcom
	var/jaunt_duration = 50 //in deciseconds

specifically "centcom_cancast" the wizard shuttle is on Z-level 2 (centcom) were it's always been.

[Steelpoint]

The Wizard has no possible method of getting access to the locked down rooms, I've done some extensive testing. I'll do some more tests when I can.

they're fake windows, you can't break them.
and technically, those are *emerald* walls and windows, uranium is just the closest we have :V

I don't actually like either. Or rather I like bits from both.

I don't like the sleek whiteness of allura, it feels too much like a Centcomm shuttle, which I feel the wizards wouldn't want at all.
I like the design of steelpoints, BUT i feel like its TOO wrecked. It doesn't really feel like there's any actual structure, like its a bunch of rooms floating in space as opposed to a half destroyed ship. When making something look wrecked its always better to make the ship completely AND THEN take bits out/blow bits up.

Funny thing is I did end up doing a entire ship design when I started doing the lower part of the ship. The core idea I had was that the Wizard's ship had a crew compliment of around six people, the main Wizard and five apprentices.

My headcanon is that all the apprentices got killed/blown out into space during the intial attack leaving the sole Wizard to contend with four squads of the Death Squad.

Edit: Here's the full ship image. I don't think its the worlds best as it looks very box like (heh) but it does get accross that this is a ship for long term usage, not some emergency shuttle. Also its not finished as I focused more on the blown up variant.

[paprika]

Steelpoint your mapping prowess really shows when you make shit look blown up

[peoplearestrange]

Shit, I might have reset the poll by adding an extra option. Sorry bout that, re-cast your votes if you will.
