Gving the AI and sec something to do to reduce validhunting

Bottom post of the previous page:

Why not just remove AI from round start positions and require the AI to be built? (Requiring research).

Then you can keep the AI and give the bridge commander and crew a purpose.

This would remove Malf mode

what a fucking tragedy

[Malkevin]

Meh, Malf hasn't been fun since it turned into Hide and Seek, and even before that it was only fun for the half dozen people that could grab space suits.

Nothing of value lost

I think there's only a few of us who can remember the satellite run. Good times.

Personally, I'd cry blood if the AI was removed.

Malf is pretty out of date last addition was what autoborger?

no it was the mech hijack thing IIRC, but still malf is shit

edit: actually i think it was the universal door close-bolt-shock thing getting nerfed and camera upgrade/reactivate getting buffed

[Gun Hog]

My changes to Malfunction are as follows:
- AI's powers get displayed at round end
- Upgrade Turrets buffed to make turrets have heavy lasers (40 dmg per shot)
- Upgrade Cameranet gives all cameras xray and EMP resistance, plus night vision for the AI
- The Repair Camera net power works on up to 30 cameras across the entire network.
- Added Hostile Lockdown, and later nerfed it.
- Added Mecha Domination. (Needs adjustments)
- [PENDING] Disable RCDs power changed to Destroy RCDs, makes RCDs explode! (does not hurt Engineering borgs)

malf autoborger should be reduced in cost, its an incredibly fun feature but never used because of the cost.

[Malkevin]

The borgs it make have crappy cells

+1 it's so expensive, and the main reason malfs almost never use it is firstly because it costs so damn much, and secondly because there are SO many bad borg players in this game, and it's really hard to get borgs that know how to play the game.

I think the main issue that the AI and sec suffer from is that they don't have much to keep themselves occupied with, which leads to then scanning the station for antag behavior, since they don't have anything else to do really.

Holy fuck it's literally the job of security to scan the station for antag behaviour. Stop with this whiny talk.

inb4 "lolno sec don't fight antags they keep the station safe" comments of people who can not grasp the concept of police catching badguys.

Well guess what, if antagonists go around sabotaging shit and murdering people (read: 95% of them) hunting them is exactly what keeping the station safe is.

[Malkevin]

FYI: Real life police aren't even there to protect individual people, they're there to uphold the law.
That protect and serve slogan is only a marketing ploy

Their only legal obligation is to protect the public at large, which means getting the scumbags off the streets

What makes anyone think the goon squad of a corporate dystopia is going to be any better?

[TheNightingale]

Getting the scumbags off the streets =/= getting the antags off the streets. Unfortunately, quite a lot of scumbags are non-antags with a penchant for greytiding, and even a few antags aren't law-breakers (excluding "enemy of the corporation", of course).

[Cheimon]

Yeah, but how can we ignore Enemy of the Corporation? Being in thrall to the Syndicate is a huge IC concern.

[TheNightingale]

Taking a side job itself doesn't mean much, until you start actually doing something against the station. Killing your traitor objective is murder; stealing the blueprints is grand theft; possessing an emag is contraband. "Enemy of the Corporation" is just something you charge people with noslips with to get them out of the way.

(Or not, you've got a point there.)

[Cheimon]

So joining the organisation that literally sends commando teams over to stations to blow them up with nukes is "doesn't mean much"? Syndies and Nanotrasen aren't just two lovable scamps: they're organisations that absolutely hate each other. There's no reason for security forces to be merciful to someone that joined the enemy.
