pedal powered shuttle

every time the shuttle leaves the station there's a 2 minute period of time where there are 3 typical occurences.

1. nothing happens and people sit around saying "amogus"
2. some guy decides to get even for some slight earlier in the round and starts a fight
3. desperate traitor starts trying to blow everyone up

tired of these outcomes i have decided it would be more fun if there was a shuttle that was powered by the crew members pedaling on it

this means the crew would need to balance people pedaling to increase the speed to get to centcomm and wrangling idiots trying to shuttlegrief/defend against shitters. this also means shitter traitors who have their final opportunity, if they can disrupt the pedaling, can squeeze more time in to get their objectives

thanks for reading

this is a very fun idea, pedal power seems op on high pop and nerfed on low pop though.

so what happens when my nuclear golems detonate killing the shuttle crew?
is there a base speed that ensures that a shuttle *will* reach centcom even if nobody is pedalling? does everyone get a marooned status?

what about the pods?

shuttle comes with an emergency monkey packet that when opened will pedal the shuttle but monkeys have short legs so they cant pedal as fast

pods are unchanged

no no I mean I've blown the entire shuttle to kingdom come it's coming in two halves the entire center flooring is just gone it's depressurized to fuck and there's like 3 people in various stages of dying with only one dude in an eva suit still barely alive with an iron rod stuck in his torso slowly bleeding out in the corner

monkeys are not gonna survive and more importantly the pedals are blown to shit what happens

Ouji shuttle.
Ghosts used to be able to rotate chairs, so if everybody died and there was like 3 people on the shuttle, all the seats would be empty and be spinning
This would be a new shuttle, where the entire floor is panels that display a letter from A-Z. These can be moved forward a letter, or back a letter by ghosts, or by players. It would be chaos. Ghosts would attempt to convey messages to the crew (and get sabotaged by other ghosts), and it would make the whole shuttle more chaotic.

a shuttle that takes 3 minutes to arrive at centcom from the station, but can be sped up to 1 minute if the crew can cooperate on a specific action, sounds like an extremely funny social experiment and im all for it

people should be able to pedal backwards to slow it down (and get beaten senseless)

Only if peddling is a reflex-intensive quicktime event for the entire duration of the flight
