Re: bring back the singularity

Bottom post of the previous page:

Why do we need 3 engines that basically do the same thing (infinite power) but two of those engines have no real variation in setup, a binary fail state (no meltdown/chance to save it, they are out or they are not), and no real room for feature growth.

All it does is complicate the job of whichever poor bastard eventually wants to try and make power matter.

>Do the same thing

It gives the engineer setting it up the chance to pick which setup they want to use. Most will just go for whatever is the fastest to set up (the singu, probably), while others may do something different for whatever reason. Maybe they're traitor and want to release the singu, or maybe they just have a preference for one engine, or maybe they don't know how to set up but one engine. There's any number of reasons that someone could be compelled to pick one engine over another, and no downside to letting them pick.

>No variation in setup

There's pretty variation in advanced setups, but really I could take or leave the tesla I only really want the singu.

>No chance to save it

Increase the charge the shield box holds and have it sound an alarm if it starts losing power like the SM. Bam like 10 lines of code and it's fixed easy peasy.

>No room for feature growth

What does that even mean? More of the "if there's only one engine people will code for it more"? Coders don't give a fuck how many engines there are in rotation, they code what they want.

>Power mattering

Denying something on the basis that someone might someday change something associated with it is extremely stupid and is not an argument.

When/IF someone actually decided to sit down and start reworking power and engineering to actually matter, then sure we can talk about going to just one engine but until then that's not an argument and you're trying to deny something on the basis of something that doesn't exist,

Also last I checked the engines all put out roughly the same amount of power (lots) so yeah there's no reason to deny this even then

I'm going to take all this as my autistic custom setups being validated by the D E S I G N lead.

Edit: On a related not,SM is a far better experience than the singularity or tesla in every possible regard. There's more room for customization, there's some means of recourse if it goes south, and there's the thrill of trying to fix a meltdown.

If we changed power to require a modicum of intelligence to run, people would bitch and moan that there wasn't enough power to do anything and complain about being beholden to a single department

Shitters break into department rather than interact with the people in said department when they want the contents of said department.

Pretty much yeah. It builds on one of the defining features of the game (atmos) and allows for actual science/experimentation. Right now there isn't really a reward for that other than trying to get a personal high score, but the mechanical depth is still there.

Handing out medals to the engineering team for stopping the meltdown at .3% was another particularly memorable experience I had.

If people really want the "round is over no matter what" deathball back we could just make that the default meltdown option again.

i dont play engineering so I don't trust myself with making that change, and if Ninja wasn't already swamped with projects I'd ask if he'd want to finish his engine.

The wires are replaced by pipes which transport heat generated by plasma fueled generator. Each department has turbine converting that heat into electricity. Generator, turbines and pipes can catch fire. Fires are rebalanced to be more intense but slower spreading, and spreading across more surfaces and items. Suddenly atmos tech fire teams are needed.

I prefer being able to salvage the station from a singularity bomb, on Metastation you just need to wall of engineering hallway, dorms, and sometimes the theatre section. Its fun trying to keep the station falling apart as an engineer.

alright i have never once seen anyone do anything outside of a shuttle call if the SM explodes

maybe if this were 2012 and rounds lasted longer, and people wanted to put more effort into every round but literally NOBODY wants to spend the time to fix the mess the SM makes

at least with the singulo it was a spectacle, it was exciting. the SM just goes BOOM and a shuttle gets called.

It's a very rare and niche kind of fun. Like when you're the only guy with a spacesuit and you load up the dozen people stranded near Arrivals into a locker and pull them as fast as possible across the void to Escape before they all die. Or you get into that situation where it greets you at the end of a hall and you have just enough time to run down that hall as it chases you while screaming SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT in your head.

tbh i think that the CE should be able to pick the engine they want to setup from the round start. it could be some kind of preference option set in the character select screen that changes the starting setup

or it could be a random setup

or we could put the singulo back on box, the SM on meta, and the tesla on delta

As interesting as this idea is, it sounds like a nightmare procedurally to make map spawn depend on a character role preference.

It would be easy to do but a bitch to maintain as different contributors keep touching the maps.

I'm not saying I care about the emojis very much, just ironic that the pretend populists like Shadowdimentio railing about the ignored players will in turn ignore them/their votes/etc as soon as they stop agreeing.

This, it doesn't matter what the merits are of a PR the only thing that matters is "does a maintainer like it?". If yes, PR is merged. If no, PR is closed. Lets not pretend anything else is or ever has been a factor.

It's almost like more goes into judging a PR then just the upvotes/downvotes, but maintainers, human beings with minds, weigh those upvotes/downvotes in mind when considering a PR, especially one with not much code implication but a heavy implication on the round itself.
