Swap maps for a celebration on October 1st

Swap Basil and Sibyl's maps for a day, specifically October first, so people can see if there are any changes that they like on the other map.

He was probably thinking of MetaStation.

We did the high pop ministation back on Badger. It was incredible and awful. Also, I really wish HBL's incarnation of Ministation survived, it was 11/10.

God, overpopulated Ministation is just horrible. Absolutely horrible. There's no fun in it, because of a limited number of job slots most people are assistants and greytide like crazy.

Except Ministation would exemplify those problems. You have very few crew roles, about two Security Officers and then you throw in 40 assistants in a cramped station.
Ministation is interesting, but as the name suggests its not meant for a heavily populated server.

Efficiency and Asteroid stations when
Re: Swap maps for a celebration on October 1st

Both efficiency (all three maps) and asteroid station have stopped being developed months ago. There's not a huge number of new maps being made (except for allura), so this thread really only can go between metastation and box. And metastation has stopped being developed too.

Only if it's Efficiency station 1 or Asteroid Station.
Just imagine a station with 20 janitors. Both hazardous and squeaky clean. Beautiful.

This "lets trick sybil into playing something that isn't box!" stuff started SO MUCH DRAMA back when it was last attempted, I never want to experience it again.
People move to the server running box, it's been established.

Plus, even if I (or anyone else for that matter) manages to release a map I still doubt it would be used since a large majority of this community revolves around boxstation and boxstation only.

Box is perfection.
Re: Swap maps for a celebration on October 1st
Posted: Fri Sep 26, 2014 8:59 pm
Box has absolutely nothing that objectively makes it better. In fact, its layout and MetaStation's are rather similar, and so are their features. The difference is basically swapping out department locations a bit, but the essential parts such as Med-Sci are still paired.

Holy shit stop arguing about whether box or metastation is better it's literally personal preference.
It's like arguing what's better pineapple pizza or pepperoni pizza. Like that's literally the retarded levels you go down to if you argue about that shit.

Metastation is incredibly outdated. If Metacide returns to update it for basil on /tg/code, maybe this can happen.

I'm fairly sure metastation still works. Travis checks that every time a PR is opened.

It works, but... When I say outdated I mean a lot of things that could use with touching up. Things you and steelpoint have done on box for the gameplay should be on metastation as well. Icon changes need to be fixed manually, so there likely will be missing icons on the map.Ikarrus wrote:I'm fairly sure metastation still works. Travis checks that every time a PR is opened.

Don't make us fix metastation. I've seen it and its fracking huge. I don't know about Ikkarus, but since I've never really played on Meta (At least outside of Sec once or twice) I can't rely on experience when it comes to changes.
If there is going to be a mass scale fix up of Metastation, there is going to have to be a list of things to do.
Also merge conflicts.

It's alright, metacide is really eager to work on the map when he has people to work on it for. I think if he returns again he'll do some work on it.

When I mean by bigger I should have said that its far more compact and cramped in that Box.
Re: Swap maps for a celebration on October 1st

Metastation always felt more compact and closer together than box for me.

It's not, it's just more cluttered.

Metastation isn't actually much larger than box in terms of strict tile counting, but it has much more public space which is where the "largeness" comes from.
