Remove birdboat?
Birdboat is a very controversial station, so I for one would like to know people's opinions on the map.

Birdboat is a great map. If it had a vent system that wasn't dogshit it would be the best map hands down.

atmos straight up doesnt work as far as i can tell, the scrubber vents in the big gas tanks on birdboat aren't set up right

Re: Remove birdboat?
Birdboat should be kept purely for silly rounds, but the current state of it just makes it more of a running joke in my opinion.

it needs to be either
1. more common so i get used to it
2. less common so i don't have to scream when it comes up

Birdboat best captures the spirit of classic ss13 of any of our maps.
But despite all the forum grumbling, the majority of our community has no real interest in classic ss13.

Re: Remove birdboat?
Birdboat's atmos doesn't work, the air supply and ditro/mix loops are disconnected by default with the no cameras in the air supply (+ the air tanks are manual valve'd) means the AI can't alter the atmospheric settings which is generally a big no-no. Not that it's a problem as I've already said that birdboat's atmos system doesn't exist beyond a handful of vents.
The supermatter engine can't be ejected and it's quite difficult to cool it down it fi it's been allowed to run hot for too long and few people even know how to operate it safely (there's no user guide on the wiki anywhere, the only way to learn is through experimentation and cargo rarely allows engineering the chance to experiment).
Even the TEG is a mystery to a lot of people even though the TEG is largely idiot-proof.
Plus it's gonna be outdated since it hasn't been updated in about a year, though there are some designs that I'd like to steal. The Cargo shuttle for one which runs like a finely oiled machine.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that with fastmos, the lack of vents means it's really easy to de-pressurise and cool down the station by breaking a window or bolting the airlock doors open.

Re: Remove birdboat?
I don't mind Birdboat not having atmos but it needs scrubbers going in and out of most places. The lack of scrubbers ironically makes the station seem less like a death trap since the spiders that frequently spawn on it can't get everywhere through the vents, and it really fucks over vent crawling antags. If scrubbers were added it would be the best map.

Re: Remove birdboat?
What Birdboat needs most of all is someone dedicated to maintaining it. If you don't have that, it's only a matter of time before an update breaks it, so you might as well remove it right now.

Re: Remove birdboat?
To me, Birdboat isn't good enough to truly be a station. If Birdboat is Lennie, than Ministation is George. It's like Birdboat follows Ministation around, mindlessly and vainly attempting to parrot its success. "See, I have a small and efficient atmos system," explains Ministation in slow words. Birdboat takes to heart and makes an atmos system, but it's too small and he doesn't know how to work the pipes, so he just lays them around and doesn't actually connect them. Yet people still like Birdboat because he's like a big lovable guy who tries so hard, when in reality he fails at everything he tries to do outside of small stuff - for Lennie, it's physical labor, but for Birdboat, it's being functional at all.
So, yes, I'd support its removal.

Re: Remove birdboat?
Birdboat not having atmos is 100% intentional. The reasoning was that you could flood every major hallway if you release one can through the pipes, killing everyone and creating a generally unfun situation.

I always suspected tokiko of being mentally deficient, from her latejoining to avoid traitor targeting, playing the same job every round, constant parroting of bird memes, ending 90% of her words with "ings" and the rearranging of kirbyplants across the entire station but never did i expected for this autism to manifest into a map so influenced by her deficiencies and then for that map to be ran and receive actual support. Birdboat, like all malformed and abandoned creations, should be killed off and left on the streets to rot. I would rather see asstation become the default map than birdboat stay in the codebase

Also the atmos tanks don't work anymore and the TEG doesn't produce power even when the hot/cold loops are working right.
It needs a complete overhaul to be made playable, at the moment it is a physically unplayable map after 20 or so minutes.

Birdboat is literally one of the best maps and I will take charge of it to ensure it remains in rotation if thats what it takes.
The most excessive signature on /tg/station13.
Still not even at the limit after 8 fucking years.
The evil holoparasite user I can't believe its not DIO and his holoparasite I can't believe its not Skub have been defeated by the Spacedust Crusaders, but what has been taken from the station can never be returned.

Re: Remove birdboat?
played on birdboat today and it was somehow worse than i remembered
so much stuff is missing from engineering, there is not so much as a paper in game describing setting up the supermatter engine (everyone left engineering except me unsurprisingly so i spent 10 mins setting it up myself to make sure it didn't go nuclear but it was a nuke op round so it ultimately became irrelevant), the vault is a broom closet smaller than the janitor office on box, there's probably some other stuff but most of the station exploded so whatever
it comes up so rarely that i can't bring myself to support its total removal because who really gives a shit but it would be nice if someone at least got atmos to work and spawned a few goddamn department lockers
