I'll have you know that there can only be 1 Srifenbyxp. None can match my CHA rolls

Just kiss and make your own startrooper server already or something by ripping off the CM format.

NONE CAN MATCH MY CHA - YOU FAILING TO SEE THIS PROVES IT EVEN MORE

[DemonFiren]

none can match your cha
even flypeople have higher cha

We have, intelligent spiders were the proper starship troopers bugs.

Replace the xeno ruin on lavaland with a starship trooper terror spider nest etc (putting high cost on it), and offer some ghost roles and basic gathering & fighting gameplay (collect minerals to create resources at the nest) with some bugs and that's set.

I do want to steal CM's way of being able to give roles to 100+ players at a time. We currently hit a cap at around 70~ and players beyond that have to pick assistant. Assistant doesn't have any ingame content to grind through or a defined goal to work towards, nor does it immediately encourage players to bunch up and cooperate, like squads do.

Can an extra 10, maybe 20, even 30+ players on /tg/ armed with weapons co-exist alongside another 60~ players doing more traditional spess jobs?

edit

add in random ruins that spawn antags that can multiply, to act as our version of xenos. We've got plenty of things to draw upon for this- expanded ashwalkers, swarmers, maybe corrupted golem ships or plant vaults- or even mass hostile wildlife. Make miners into

conquistadors

Nanotrasen scouts, make their vouchers select between kinetic accelerators fluffed to either kill or mine better, and set them loose into planetstation.

I can hear steelpoint screaming with delight, but the objective purpose of how CM works is that admins will ban the living shit out of you for civilian roles trying to arm themselves with gear (scientists can only carry pistols etc.), hence HRP keeps it in check.

Immediately the co-existance would be broken as people order more guns from cargo and actively conscript (also it would have to be in a non-pressurised lavaland/z level because KA's are OP) themselves to fight and entirely depopulate the server of station side roles because people want bug valids.

[imblyings]

nobody really arms themselves with kinetic accelerators :^)

Side question: why doesn't CM code in role restricted behaviour? They could make civvies be really crap at using anything beyond a pistol (no tacticool reloads, shooting is always bursts but with 1 to full mag RNG, no holding a second item in your other hand) maybe even being extreme enough to not allow civvies to """understand""" how to reload a bigger gun.

I'd ask us to have some coded roleplay beyond our bartender can't spill drinks he throws but I think the last time it came up, everyone got up in arms about not being able to one man everything/clown slip operative and steal guns or something. It'd be nice to not need a plant analyser as a botanist or science gogs as a chem-meister.

Because they don't care about handing out bans when people clearly violate the rules. It also worms out shitty players by leaving the avenue to do the behavior open, saving coding time & effort on something likely to be convoluted in the closed source code.

Wow it's not like the server admins can adjust the caps on roles or anything
