2) people seem to like the crazy ones
3) some people seem to disagree with the ruling

You can view what shuttle is coming by examining the monitors. The pods being destroyed is pretty rare and space suits usually aren't that hard to get.Arianya wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 8:11 pm
A variety of reasons:
a) They latejoined/weren't paying attention and didn't see the shuttle purchase
b) Pods may be destroyed/unreachable/non-livable without a space suit (heavy station damage/meteors/etc.)
c) Roleplaying-wise, most people would expect to evacuate by the shuttle rather than pods - its the one that goes to Centcomm after all.
And from a more OOC point of view - the shuttle is the main way to leave the station at the end of a round - the fact that pods exist shouldn't really negate its safety in the same way we shouldn't destroy the station just because lavaland exists for people who don't want to die.
People actually spend the entire round on the station interacting with people or doing their job content or whatever it is they do in a given round, on the station. If you ruined the station people have to stop doing that and are forced to worry about survival first and foremost (which is enjoyable in its own right and wouldn't be an issue to me either, but that's a different topic). Whether or not you leave the station as a crispy piece of long pork or strapped to your seat doing nothing really has no impact on your gameplay, your ability to do your job or the round as a whole, because the round is over.Arianya wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 8:11 pm And from a more OOC point of view - the shuttle is the main way to leave the station at the end of a round - the fact that pods exist shouldn't really negate its safety in the same way we shouldn't destroy the station just because lavaland exists for people who don't want to die.
