Play on Metastation.

I would buy an option to ID unlock consoles and stuff with ID in PDA. Getting it out and back in is annoying.

I would suggest a duel pipe system. So you can have the air supply and the scrubber pipe lines on the same tile instead of them taking up two lanes.

Something like this.

It would make things significantly easier and more neater. That is if its feasible.

Yesyesyesyes plaese.
This would make piping much simpler and easy to fix if it got exploderized.

It would help immensely to have a list of those because the only things I know of offhand that don't accept PDA are communications consoles and security records computers.

Worth noting though that comms consoles can be noted as that one computer that is used almost without fail every single round.

New Wizard Spell:

- Soul Inscribe: Single use only. The wizard inscribes an nearby item of his choice with his soul. If the item is destroyed the wizard will be destroyed as well. If the wizard is killed but his inscribed item is not then the round will not end. Instead anyone grabbing the item will be possesed by the wizard after a certain amount of time (2 minutes?), untill stripped of the item. If stripped of the item that person will regain control of their body.

(Mindswap could be usefull combo to get a new body while still having your inscribed item!)

this, but only if you can only hold it untill right before you would normally pass out from lack of air. It is humanly impossible to hold your breath untill you faint irl, so it should be impossible for spessmen too.

I'd prefer if it was just automatic that you got a little more airtime before you start choking if the air's bad.

It could depend on what kind of bad air you're breathing. CO2's big advantage is that it's invisible, after all.

Yes but typing a verb in is annoying as shit.

Add a button in one of the tabs or add a button near the o2 display to toggle holding your breath.

Yes an on-screen HUD button you'll click maybe once a week constantly using up valuable screen real-estate space for what amounts to a silly gimmick with little actual value.

Can we just agree it's a shitty idea and move on?

miggles wrote:>valuable screen real estate

The thing in the actual game world for one. Can't go along the bottom obviously and the top is also no-go because we'll need more action buttons. The left side seems good but is actually being taken up by changeling stuff. So this leaves up with a small gap in the right side (which is already busy) or a small gap along the bottom (which is iNCREDIBLY busy) or a place along the top (which has no UI elements so far, which just makes it look awful).

Having the screen taken up by pointless shit just makes the whole thing look busy and become less useful overall.

but, y'know, it kinda makes no fucking sense that out of all the things space(wo)men are capable of doing, they can't hold their own god damn breath? If the space onscreen is too valuable, all you'd have to do is throw the verb in one of the tabs, so at least its there for when you actually need it.

Only if trying to hold your breath in vacuum makes your lungs burst, because.. well. There's a reason why scuba divers are told never to hold their breath when ascending.

@paprka

Maybe add some sort of mining magboots that only increase your speed when you're on the asteroid floor tiles? I also suggested in your mining update pull to add some sort of stimpack-belt for easy access to sanic boosts when you need them/not a hassle to carry more then two on the go.

Due to the way the code works, you'd have to make a check for every time you move on those tiles in order for the boots to properly function only on mining tiles. Which makes the game lag. It's annoying, but it's also byond quality™

I'll port winter coats in december for the christmas update and make the hoods less shit and not make you look bald. They'll probably function like the chaplain hood since the way it kind of shadows your face a little makes it look less like you're bald and it's great.

Or just make it an alternate toggle of the internals icon that only triggers when you're not actually wearing internals. It takes up zero extra screen space and facilitates a simple action that characters would benefit greatly from having available.

I have two suggestions:
1.) Add a syndicate blanket to the traitor uplink menu
2.) Allow multitools to function as scapels

This would allow for a complete syndicate surgery kit for just two points.

miggles · Post by **miggles** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 3:46 am #40396

why would a multitool work as a scalpel

deathhoof · Post by **deathhoof** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 3:57 am #40403

Because it has a sharp edge. Alternatively, the syndicate toolbox could work as a scapel. The secret to its robustness is after all the super sharp corners it has.
