Pimp my pod!

i've seen prettier custom pods/10

One day I hope to make an escape pod out of alien alloy

Me and Taco united to make the best dojo of all time

hey buddy I think you got the wrong door, the leather club's two blocks down.

Glorious Syndikek

Carp OPs pro strat

Finally got around to making a home in box maintenance.


Not pictured, me being able to bolt the entrance remotly.

Steelpoint you can do that easily by using a button frame and link the two onto the door's bolt wire.

I wish we had Goon's logic component system so engineers with autism could produce horrific death traps with pressure plates, sensors and more.

The funny part is when I play CE I always make a construction project. About half the time I end up getting arrested and demoted, sometimes gulagged. I have no fucking idea why and I can't ahelp because it's an IC issue.

One time I was on boxstation, you know those windows to space in front of the bridge? Well I announced to the crew I was gonna fill them in sealed down the area with a firelock and some of the new atmos fans and got to work. I made sure it was still possible to go around the locks.

The all of a sudden the HoS comes along, grabs a crowbar and opens the firelock, venting the place to space, and tases and arrests me while other people are taking damage from pressure loss. The breach stays open for like 10 minutes until the captain tells the HoS to chill out.

People need to remember that the CE is a head to, and he also is the top guy when it comes to building shit. He is the guy who gives out construction permits. Just because the HoS doesn't like something he's building doesn't mean he has the authority to arrest him.

I would have adminhelped getting arrested for building so hard. An assistant yes, but arresting an engineer for construction is literally arresting someone for doing their job.

not just 'an engineer', the fucking CE.

That's another issue I have a lot. Why does the HoS always think he outranks all the other heads? And why is sec so quick to arrest heads? Don't heads deserve any extra respect?

They obviously don't know the chain of command.

With Captain:
Captain > HoP = HoS = RD = CE = CMO

Without Captain:
HoP(as Acting Captain) > HoS = RD = CE = CMO

Increase in conversion modes (which both end quickly and require you under threat of ban to go fight)

All construction speeds being nerfed for the sake of balance

Admins like HBL who would nuke the round at 40 minutes like clockwork

No point building a redundant room when the shuttle is gonna be docking just before you finish, only to have all your work wiped by the world reset

Sure there are more nebulous reasons like the kinds of players we attract or something but it simply takes too long for the payoff

When someone tries to quote the chain of command at me when I am HoS I remind them that I have a gun and a bunch of armed men with guns and they do not.

The HoP has a gun.
So that's really only applicable if you want to bully one of the nerds (RD,CE,CMO) which is p.fine.

but the hop doesn't have an insta-stun gun
or batons
or flashbangs
or flashbang protection
or krav maga
so the hop can still be bullied fairly easily

Yeah but they can just all access themselves wherever they want which is more of a tactical advantage.

you can't really stun-cuff-kill somebody with all-access

I don't think we used to have overly long rounds but you still saw people doing these projects knowing they'd just die when the shuttle docked

it was always nice to build shit and take pictures, I guess

you can power the entire station off this.

Alas, rad collectors do not collect radiation, just pulses from singulo and SM.

but they do! measuring the current in the wires revealed that they do in fact generate power from rads.

I'm not seeing a rad_act() in collector.dm

You sure about that?

I hit the statue a few times and then the rad collectors started working.

Maybe you should be checking the code in the statue or not the collectors. I don't know either way, just a suggestion

No part of the code suggests that they'd be charged by the statue. Maybe it was incoming power from the grid?

No they do produce power in the presence of radiation, I distinctly remember that feature being requested since I was a wet-behind-the-ears player.

no. they really don't.

CosmicScientist wrote:Clearly field science is needed!
And then power gen nerfing or feature requesting.

I tested this, even though I knew RR was right and the code does not support it either. Normal rad pulses do nothing at rad collectors. Strangely though, hardsuit visor messages did not work while I was wearing the CE suit, I will have to figure out why. Btw, look closely in that screen shot: The red wire is leading into the yellow station power line. That is what corrupted his readings.
