Definitive SS13 job tier list

[Itseasytosee2me]

The rankings are based on experience playing, how well they fit into the setting, and how good the idea for their implementation is.

I think paramedic could be either C or B atleast

[zergking]

Paramedic is only played by powergames IMO

[RedBaronFlyer]

I love cargo tech but janitor is also a fun job. Great starter job for learning the layout of stations and you have a subtle effect on rounds. I firmly believe that if the station looks like crap people will act more rabic, which means janitor is the first line of defense for keeping the station in order (arguably more than security). It just sucks when a janiborg or two completely take the job out from under you (fucking CLANKERS). It's also one of the only jobs where people will thank you when you do it.

paramedics are the most powergamy powergamers who ever powergamed 90% of the time. Nearly every time I see one they're either an antagonist or they're using their AA as a non-antag to loot departments for food and tools. I hate borgs like nothing else but at least when I see a medical borg I'm confident in knowing that an overwhelming majority of the time they aren't about to run off with our medkit, toolbox, donuts, or department pet

bro that's like three different tier lists.

[Constellado]

I play both prisoner and curator regularly.

what stretch to fit does to a mfr

[mrmelbert]

Having 3 different metric kinda ruins the tier list, because there are some jobs that I would put polar opposite to each other based on your criteria if it was split.

Most of the head roles for instance fit the setting very well, A or S tier, but clearly you have issues with the implementation of them that sends them to the bottom of the list.

I hate how low Botanist is on the list. It's probably one of the more chillax and yet robust jobs you can have on the /tg/ codebase. And for the most part, people will leave you alone, unless people desperately need wood or apples. RIP glowshrooms though, they got nerfed right in the kneecaps. I wish they actually stuck around longer than just being a very short use spreading glowstick.

[Turbonerd]

All of engineering should be S tier. It's like janitor, but they fix practical problems and tend to be heroes by fixing the station.

thats the cargo tech

Single metric rankings are too boring

No atmospheric tech?

[wesoda25]

> chemist before botanist, chef, and detective


You, sir, are deranged.

(viro in F does somewhat save this list tho)

Its in C. It would be higher if the job had any purpose.

Its purpose is to plasmaflood the station, obviously

[TheLoLSwat]

Scientist should be in S or at the top of A, the entire point of the station is to mess around with plasma and see what happens!

[DaydreamIQ]

Prisoner needs two different variants put on there.

Prisoner on most maps? F Tier
Prisoner on Icebox? S Tier. Make more maps like Icebox Perma for fucks sake.

Yes but the gameplay sucks.

[CPTANT]

In general jobs where you move around the station are an order of magnitude better than those where you are only incentivised to spent the entire round in the same room working on the same project without seeing anyone.

Mainly weighing these as how well they fit the setting, and if their implementation is good. My experience or fun would skew this heavily!

For instance, AI is perfect for the setting and its implementation is great. Medical staff are perfect for the setting, but I find tgmed lacking.

Janitor and cook are perfect jobs! Captain, leaves a lot to be desired!

I've made nitrium / pluoxium air tanks for the crew and I couldn't even give them away for free. Pearls before swine, I tell you.
