/tg/Station 13

Bottom post of the previous page:

A cheap derringer traitor item, damage/AP/stun all negotiable. To make it cool, spacey, and emphasize its cheapness, make it un-reloadable (maybe add flavor text saying it fires a caseless version of whatever caliber it ultimately is). The point is that it can be stored in clothing items (including hats, gloves, shoes, masks etc.) and retrieved with an emote set by the user upon purchase/use in hand.

A stylish weapon that also works well in combination with freedom implants. Maybe add a bundle option so you can have a derringer for every clothing slot.

Chainsaws should be able to cut through non-re-enforced walls slowly, or at-least partly deconstruct it messily at a time into useless scraps of metal, a bit like a door jack or a slow welder.

Wooden walls (wood applied over girders) should be broken down quickly by the process.

Finally we will be able to play a slasher-film esque antag.

Air alarms do unlock Flood when emagged, although I can't remember if it removes access requirements. Fire alarms just stop working.

Drones should be able to wear eyewear in their mask/helmet slot, or have built-in meson vision. Now drones can go mining!

Cue drone getting tentacle-raped by the next Goliath that it is not allowed to kill.

Happened before with the asteroid, except theres no "safe side" to go mine in anymore.

Another drone QOL would be making simple mobs not attack them. They're just tiny robot spiders, they don't deserve to get gnawed on...

Drones exist to get shit on.

Your existence is pain

You can still totally mine as a drone without mesons - you have X-Ray vision, just carry around a mining scanner and ping the shit out of it or manage to get an advanced mining scanner without interfering (somehow? I guess you could jack an ID while the hop is out of his office if he's terrible at his job).

It just gets dark and spooky which feels rad. Although the ash storms fucking suck for drones.

Ash storms...

Okay, drones should be able to burrow in sand, grass and dirt.

Give boxstation russian revolver back or have it a chance to spawn in maint loot table I WANT MUH BETS AGAINST THE CAP FOR TPTAL FREEDOM BY A BET THAT ISMT IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN BUT PUT 1 FAKE BULLET INSIDE AND 5 REAL

Just vote for Metastation master race to have it

Unsynced borgs should be vulnerable to ion storms and get different ion laws each. So if you have a memey as fuck robo making unsynced borgs, if an ion storm happens you have five different borgs malfunctioning in five different ways, while five borgs synced to an AI are malfunctioning in only one way. Cause really, unsynced borgs don't have any major downsides bar a few circumstantial ones.

Plus it might lead to !fun! and I know how much the playerbase hates that.

Im too tired to correct myself.

Minor suggestion. Fix or add tooltips to the forum's site text options to prevent this kind of thing.

Make it possibel to lay wire below the tube to the ai sat

On that note, I feel like transit tubes need a total redoing. I tried making my own via the transit tube dispenser and christ was it difficult. I feel like some of the mechanical aspects of them aren't very...sensible?

Something big?

Whatever happened to dismemberment anyway?

It'd be nice if it was possible to steal the Cap's gun without setting off the alarm. Like carefully deconstructing the glass case and using something similar to replace the gun so it doesn't trigger the anti-theft systems. Like a regular laser gun/laser tag gun/Chameleon gun. Then put the glass case on so noone's none-the-wiser.

Except, you know, it should be patently obvious there's something different in that case unless a chameleon gun was used.

Why not just remove the alarm system?

All this does is butt fuck traitors with that steal objective and slightly annoy captains.

Swap the gun out for something of similar weight (another normal-sized item), Indiana Jones-style. The alarm goes off ten seconds later if the object you replaced it with isn't a normal-sized gun.

Make it so if you cut a certain wire on a vending machine you can stock it with anything. Fill a vending machine with broken glass and then enable firing mode to turn it into an automated glass shard cannon. Or be a sick bastard and fill it with photocopied pictures of your ass.

That's an incredible idea. Fill it with vodka bottles and lit matches

Only if you emag it though, maybe? Then again, I guess if non-antags did it they'd get boink'd for lighting everyone on fire with their soda machine.

I feel like this should only really be for Captains so that they don't get annoyed by the bolted doors. Maybe let them swipe their ID to peacefully open the glass case. We can even extend this to the other display case, Lamarr, the hero the station needs.

Nah it should be hackable so other antagonists/silly people can put memes in there.

I forget that it's supposed to be there as a display. In theory you're not supposed to use it, but in reality a laser gun that charges itself can be nice to satisfy a captain-level murderboner.
Still, as captain I never really use it. I always break it out of the case, reset the fire alarm and door bolts, and throw the gun in my locked locker. Ain't nobody touching my gun.

Using a upgraded microwave should offer via the controls a way to cook goliath steaks at lava comparable heat temperatures whereas otherwise it would remain raw.

You should be able to throw people through normal glass windows if there's no grille under them.

Durkel wrote:You should be able to throw people through normal glass windows if there's no grille under them.

Maybe it just damages the window and if the window is already cracked enough, THEN it'll throw them through.

On that note, I've never really understood why EVERY window on the whole station has a grille underneath, even the windows that have no access restrictions or privacy whatsoever. Should we consider getting rid of some of the grilles?

No. It looks awful.

Windows already take damage from throwing people into them.

Yes, but even when breaking it'll stop you dead.
Shouldn't be. I want to hurl folks through windows.

Anyway, metal rods plus wood should equal pitchforks. Gives Botany weapons that don't take ages to create, also goes great with torches.

Oh my god yes. The assistant garden should spawn with a bunch of stacks of wood so assistants can make angry mobs with pitchforks and torches

give me onground and inhand sprites (both wielded and unweilded since i'd imagine it's a two-handed weapon) and i will give botany pitchforks

Zilenan91 wrote:Oh my god yes. The assistant garden should spawn with a bunch of stacks of wood so assistants can make angry mobs with pitchforks and torches

Fuck no.
Pitchforks should be harder to make than spears, and slightly more potent as consequence.
I mean, they have three fucking tips.

On the sprite request thread.

Well yeah but pitchforks are meant for baling hay together not killing people like spears are.

Pitchforks are for reclaiming the means of production

Zilenan91 wrote:Well yeah but pitchforks are meant for baling hay together not killing people like spears are.

Yeah, and the spears we have are made of glass, for all intents and purposes they should shatter if you look at them funny.
Ain't this way.

SS13 has space-age super glass that can withstand the impact of someone slamming into it with toolboxes and crowbars so it's some pretty tough shit

SS13's metal is probably of a similar variety.

Besides, those things are crafted. You bet any spaceman who makes a pitchfork sharpens it as far it goes without a grindstone.
