Why is the lavaland prisoners ruin disabled? Can we enable?
I don't know why they were disabled, I didn't see any kind of conversation or anything about it. At all. It just stopped happening one day and I haven't seen it since. Can we re-enable it, or at least know why it's disabled?

Because people started routing a path as ghosts, going prisoner, then bumrushing and shooting the miners with their 1911s

Too easy to abuse to gain command of the station with.

that is if they survive to get to the stationD&B wrote:Too easy to abuse to gain command of the station with.
but that's random generation for you.
to add on, I wish there was some way we could re-add them, maybe without the guns at least considering they're only there to kill miners.

If they can route paths as ghosts to the miners they can route it back to the station as well. It was just too easy to abuse.Because people started routing a path as ghosts, going prisoner, then bumrushing and shooting the miners with their 1911s

iirc it was getting to the point where there were serious calls to disable observing on lavaland or only allow orbiting from the dropdown list

yeah but wait, can't ashwalkers and every other role do what the prisoners were doing? If we removed the prisoners guns it would seem okay, but I don't know. It seems for the prisoners they can't come back to the crashed ship because it slowly runs out of air. Adding a fan and removing guns is a huge step in the right direction.

it's the only lavaland role I know of with the explicit goal of getting on station to grief and kill
all other lavaland roles have content to do on lavaland, even if it's possible for them to go on station

Re: Why is the lavaland prisoners ruin disabled? Can we enab
if your crime is theft or incompetence going on a murderspree is extremely shitty
edit: ruin description, i'll grab the actual spawn flavortext they prisoners get in a second
This incredibly high security shuttle clearly didn't have 'avoiding lavafilled hellscapes' as a design priority. \ As such, it has crashed, waking the prisoners from their cryostasis, and setting them loose on the wastes. If they live long enough, that is.

Re: Why is the lavaland prisoners ruin disabled? Can we enab
While roles such as ashwalkers are able to kill, the tendril gives them somewhat of a reason to stay on lavaland.
Prisoners on the other hand, are handed a badge to kill and a gun to do so, along with some decent armour if you were one of the original prisoners.

Re: Why is the lavaland prisoners ruin disabled? Can we enab
See yeah that was my original intent, was that Prisoners with non violent backgrounds wouldn't be straight up psycopaths and kill the miners trying to rescue them, but people assumedif your crime is theft or incompetence going on a murderspree is extremely shitty
And so I just disabled it rather than having the miners shot every roundare handed a badge to kill

Re: Why is the lavaland prisoners ruin disabled? Can we enab
well, that sucks. While I was signing up as a private force member at the hop office, the other prisoner must have been wordlessly gunning down the miner, taking his loot, and then murderboning.
seriously, fuck other people. Thanks for answering my question though, maybe one day we can revive the crashed shuttle idea.
