Replace fly people with spider people

[Slignerd]

Replace useless, boring and unappealing fly memes with unique and interesting spider memes.

Since we now have the code for mobs with multiple hands, let's make use of it. If we already have anthropods on the station, why not pick the better kind of anthropods and get interesting mechanics along with it?

It would be a pain to maintain with six different inhands, but it'd be worth it, maybe

fly people are a good reference considering how they come about

>have 6 hands

Extra arms will never be balanced.

You want to REMOVE flies instead of just adding spider-people as some sort of ultra-evolutionary chain of the space spiders? No creativity, I swear.
Also what Kor said, multiple limbs will never work/be balanced for this. We have shitty equipment for the mobs as it is with so little pockets/carrying capacity outside of backpacks.

Now, if you want to add spider people to lavaland, or make some sort of ruin where there is an eternal war of flymen and spiders, go ahead.

First off fuck flies just saying ppl get all mad ss13 is about freedom to do what you want they dont own it shut up flies lol she is a bitch he can do what he wants with his freedom most ppl dont realize this but no offence flies your own people didn't calibrate your ppl your forfathers if they where assistants where teleported they where not the best of ppl some where proble assistants of traitors and shit you have 100 x better lifes in the us then here and human ppl where not the bad guys it was the fucking lizards teleporting ppl 90% time gawd humans ppl are not the monsters we are made to look like blame the lizards

I like the flies in the game. as we have it, flies are rare enough to be interesting

Can I wield 3 dual-energy swords and if so can I deflect shotgun blasts? :^)

[Slignerd]

No, but you would be able to shoot a gun while wielding a dual-energy sword.

So it turns out that block chances are calculated separately, so you can't get 100% block chance from stacking shields. Still a lot tho.

Only if humans cab rip their arms off by just punching them TEARING THOSE SPIDER ARMS OFF ONE FOR ONE

[Slignerd]

Well, you could use sharp weapons to chop limbs off - if you target left limb, your attacks would have a chance of affecting one of existing ones.

Given their amount, max health of their arms would probably be reduced a bit.

[Cuboos]

What if a spider losing its limb is extremely dangerous and is fatal if not immediately treated ?

[XDTM]

I wonder of prostethic replacement can replace arms if you've already got two.

[Lumbermancer]

Crab people.
