Readd test firing teleporter or remove malfunctions
I don't know why test firing it was removed but its gone so how about you fucking remove the fly person malfunction since you can't test fire anymore and remove the getting spaced by teleporter if you don't test fire unless it gets added back in

Re: Readd test firing teleporter or remove malfunctions
Yes please, with the prevalence of the AI satellite the teleporter sees regular usage. It's unreliable to expect RnD to upgrade the machine when only the RD has access and with no incentive.

Test fish g was a placebo, it did not do anything but it made people feel like it did.

Using swype, Giacom?
Pretty sure the update that removed random spacing added a use for test firing that prevented it from irradiating the hell out of you.. It was one of the reasons people wanted the teleporter to be updated. Now with upgradeable machines, test firing once again does nothing.

You can upgrade the teleporter to prevent the malfunctions.

Wouldn't no longer being spaced by the teleporter count as an incentive to upgrade it?Steelpoint wrote:Yes please, with the prevalence of the AI satellite the teleporter sees regular usage. It's unreliable to expect RnD to upgrade the machine when only the RD has access and with no incentive.
Either way, I do support re-adding test firing and making it actually functional.

Re: Readd test firing teleporter or remove malfunctions
You don't get spaced by teleporters anymore, you just get irradiated to he'll and back and possibly become a fly person, it's been like that for a long time.

Re: Readd test firing teleporter or remove malfunctions
When I changed the malfunction from LOL U SPACE U DED to the new effect, I made Test Firing actually do something - it made the malfunction effect not happen due to 'calibrations', with a 20% or whatever chance to become uncalibrated with each use.
Since then, there's been a lot of changes with teleporters to make them constructible, another to make them upgradeable, etc. I think at some point along the way test-firing got fiddled with.
Apparently upgraded teleporters have a smaller chance of error, which is good, since there should be some benefit to upgrading them. Basically what we need now is some kind of compromise between test-firing and upgrading, like maybe once you test-fire it acts as 1 stage of upgrade higher, or maybe upgrading will decrease the odds of it becoming uncalibrated.

Re: Readd test firing teleporter or remove malfunctions
Do you know what's funny? You can completely bypass the inane chance of getting irradiated or turned into a fly man by setting where you want to go on the teleporter then simply using a Hand Held Teleporter to go there...
I feel its unnecessary to force the crew to upgrade the teleporter to use it without significant risk, the only time anyone is going to practically use the teleporter is during a Malf Round. Players don't really want to worry about toxin damage on top of murderous cyborgs.

Re: Readd test firing teleporter or remove malfunctions
basically the teleporter has such limited use, or atleast the hurdles to jump through to get the teleporter upgraded to be usable is not worth it.

Re: Readd test firing teleporter or remove malfunctions
Listen, nobody ever ever ever upgrades the teleporter.
Like, ever.
It is a very rarely used piece of equipment. Most of the rounds R&D won't upgrade anything at all, and even when they do teleporter is probably the last thing on the list. When it's malf, it's needed very suddenly and there is no time to upgrade it. Relying on upgrades for it is a bad idea.

Re: Readd test firing teleporter or remove malfunctions
If upgrading the teleporter isn't worthwhile, then it should be made worthwhile. Maybe a fully-upgraded teleporter could lock onto maxed suit sensors, treating them like a beacon.

Re: Readd test firing teleporter or remove malfunctions
Yesterday we had a malf round, three of us sec guys took the teleporter to the AI sat since some cunt had stolen the handtele for whatever reason. One of us got turned into a fly and I threw him back through the teleporter to station in hopes of someone healing him, and m and the other dude both got irradiated. It's really fucking annoying, especially since the hand tele has no side effects at all, why should the larger, station bound version fuck you up when you use it?

If anything, the hand teli should be worse.
I am located here, lurking in your posts, leaving piles of transparent wordings and being confused. Oh, I also try to map...
This, this is an example of what I leave for you.
Also, these days I mostly play Ursit McStation, mostly because I like roleplay.

Either way the teleporter shouldn't need upgrading because the telepad has no drawbacks even when not upgraded its ridiculous

Re: Readd test firing teleporter or remove malfunctions
Spacing is hardly a consequence when you can immediately teleport back to the station and the portal is considered solid ground for purposes of spacewalking.

At the very least there needs to be a way to cure being a fly, rather than it being an instant gg you fucked son.

Being a fly gives you tons of tox damage.

Re: Readd test firing teleporter or remove malfunctions
That's mostly because you got irradiated from the teleporter malfunction, which can happen without turning you into a flyperson.
