/tg/Station 13

Bottom post of the previous page:

That idea was in my mind for a long while. I had few discussions about making some sort of a whitelist for this on coding general and in tgstation general and I was told to go here because it's a config so here we go.

Pretty much what it says on the tin, I see no real reason why heads MUST be human other than some old lore fluff and I believe it would allow for more interesting interactions between the crew and allow much more gimmicks without admin intervention, I am also interested in what rest of the players have to say about it.

silicons are not why non humans shouldn't be allowed to be heads, just a very easy one to point to

Asimov should include humanoids

Because giving aliens the same privileges as humans strips them of what makes playing them unique in the first place. I’m surprised I have to point this out, but a sprite reskin and a practically useless meta-language isn’t enough to make xenos interesting from a gameplay perspective.

No.

No, I need to be unnecessarily cruel against non-humanoid life.

You can't prove that I said that
