Bottom post of the previous page:

Ocelot set (A bundle box set like the pyromaniac/The Fury one I proposed earlier). Syndicate red gloves, soviet uniform, red beret, cowboy boots. Two revolvers and some ammo. Maybe have some sort of minor bonus from wearing the full set+holding a revolver in each hand, or at the very least the ability to *emote spin them.

The gibtonite entity!

Basically, the SS13 version of MineCraft's creeper. Found on the mining asteroid, roaming the shafts. Normally, it is cloaked and very hard to see (similar to an Alien Sentinel), and will slowly approach a miner until adjacent to him. Once adjacent, it will become fully visible and make a hissing noise along with an audible message in big red text! If the miner fails to kill it or escape in time, he will be smacked with a (1, 3, 6) explosion!

Multiple entities can cause a chain reaction if one explodes near another. The miner can avoid an explosion by walking more than three spaces away (the same mechanism a creeper has of 'cancelling' its explosion), and engaging it at range. Two shots from a KA will put it down, and it will not become cloaked again once provoked.

Return of the living dead zombie antag:
Basically a slow shambling zombie. Not just any zombie though. A near immortal zombie that can not truly be killed unless special means are used. They're semi immune to brute damage in that you can hack them apart but the parts themselves become NPC controlled mobs.

Arms crawl around and latch on to you, choking you out unless you stop momentarily to try to pry it off, legs hop around and try to trip you, and heads lay on the ground until someone walks over them, causing them to bite down on the victim's foot and deal continuous damage each time they move until they pull it off them. Both the dismembered limbs and the zombies share one double edged weakness though: fire.

Set a dismembered zombie limb or the zombie itself on fire and it'll burn to ashes in a matter of minutes. There is a catch though. As the zombie burns it'll release clouds of acidic chemicals that'll burn anyone it touches and even worse: carries a chance of turning people who come in contact with it into zombies after a few minutes. The transformation is extremely uncomfortable as the victim's limbs start locking up, their body temperature drops, their breathing stops, their heart stops, and most importantly: they develope a craving for brains.

So the zombies can grow in numbers in two ways. There's the aforementioned acidic cloud of course but they can also spread it by eating people's brains. Kill a player, eat his brains, and a random ghost player will pop into the corpse and become a zombie!

Oh and of course the initial zombie antag is tar zombie.

Slimepeople should extrete waste when they eat food with the properties of being combustable, stealing a slimeperson 'oyster' or a set number of those objects so to say should be a ez peezy syndicate objective. (alternatively trade slime jelly for the ability)

They can contain 5- 10 ounces of reagent, but splatter stopping explosive chemicals like a natural stabilising agent, fill them full of acid and you have acid hand grenades. The slime ball or oyster itself will catch fire and implode in a heated enviroment potentially dealing minor physical damage in the affected area and violently ejecting the contents. Given that if a workaround is found for the natural stable agent, you cannot trigger the oyster explosion after you have thrown the contents because it splatters and shatters, you'd need to throw it at a already present oyster (throw one to a guy then throw a second loaded one as a follow up)

Catching leaks 5 units onto the person if filled to 5 capacity and can be thrown back by any crewmember not just slimes.

POWAH ARM3R!!!

Shamelessly ripped from Fallout 4! We already have unfinished code for power armor someplace! But, we are doing it Fallout style! Power armor would serve as a sort of middle-ground between normal armor suits and full mechs. Like Mech bodies, they are built by making the frame, then attaching the parts. Except here, the power armor does not require the full set of parts to operate.

Two power armor frames will spawn in the armory, and one in the Captain's office, containing no power cell or parts - those are obtained from Cargo and Science.

How to make it:
Power armor has 7 main components = The frame to which all other components attach, torso, helmet, legs, and arms. Cargo may order a full set of basic armor for quick and easy deployment, whereas Science can build superior versions for around the same mineral costs as a typical mech. Science cannot build a power armor frame themselves - they must order one from cargo or steal an existing frame from Sec or the Captain. To construct the armor, simply attach the components and insert the cell. Note that the components are not required to build the power armor, only a power cell to get it moving.

How it works:
Sadly, our code does not allow for the extensive modding or specific component health/armor values in the same slot. Instead, each piece will contribute to the armor value of the whole suit itself, and will extend that protection to the limb that piece covers. This means that if you only have a torso on your power armor frame, being shot in the head or limbs will bypass the suit's protection entirely!

Not all power armor has full environmental protection! While all power armor components are spaceworthy, not all of them will provide fire or radiation protection. Remember, trying to mix and match different armor pieces is possible, but not advised, as leaving gaps in your protection is a potential risk!

Power armor is more than just a hardsuit that you have to put together and keep charged! It also can accept upgrade modules in certain pieces to reduce the armor's slowdown, swap between inbuilt HUDs, jetpacks or even automatically inject stored chemicals!

The Syndicate caught wind of this new research, and decided to take some of that tech for themselves! :newcops:s can order, for TC, full and ready power armor suits to take the fight to Nanotrasen!

Disclaimer: I am not actually coding this! I post big, detailed ideas here because I love to brainstorm! (read: rip off other games)

A sentient third arm.

Could be either an alternative tater item to holoparasites, or some kind of high-tier RnD item. When implanted, you get a ghost-controlled, concealable, cyber appendage. It could communicate similar to a PAI (so it could fool people that it is one if it ever needs to talk in public). Not sure if letting the extra arm have access to your backpack would be too OP or not, but it should definitely be able to use your pockets or grab nearby items if needed.

Fun uses:
-2-hand a fireaxe while also having a riot shield deployed!
-3 guns at once!
-hack doors 1.5x faster!
-hands-free self-surgery!
-get a healing patch when you're in a jam!
-high-five yourself!
-be fantastic in bed!

Turn the PDA into a pipboy-like item. Remove IDs and have access be scanned directly onto your PDA. Similar to how a pipboy shows your vitals, have it so if someone looses their PDA, they loose the heath doll icon and their warning icons (choking/plasma, ect).

You'd be forced to rely on guessing your condition via self-examination or other third-party methods to know how you're doing health-wise and whats probably killing you if you loose your PDA.

allow people to rip the tongues out of other peoples mouths. takes 5 seconds and requires you to target the mouth on grab intent. people without tongues can't call for help over the radio and their tongue can be cooked into a burger. we could call it a "tasty burger" because it's a burger made with taste buds get it??

this is actually hilarious and i'm gonna look at the code and see how feasible this is to make right now
the only question is how i would implement it into the actual game. traitor item? RD's sidearm that's also a traitor steal objective, like the captain's laser? idk. I probably won't even be able to figure out how to code it anyways

i've decided to implement it as a sidegrade to the stunprod. you make it by jamming a bluespace crystal to the prod. it stuns in addition to teleporting. code is almost finished already, just need to fix the kinks in the teleporting part (it can teleport people even when it has no power which i need to fix) and make a recipe for it. it teleports to a random nearby location ala the wizard's teleportation wand. get hype

I wish I had seen this sooner, I would have coded this myself. Attach BS crystal to baton for tele-fun!

Now, for my own idea which is totally and completely unrelated to the previous one in any shape or fashion.
I would like to buff the portal gun so that forcibly teleports people you shoot with it to an open portal tied to the gun. If there is not an open portal, it will simply do a random, short ranged teleport similar to the hand-tele or tele-armor. The grief potential is extreme, but it is gated behind Combat 6, so it will be a rare and fun toy for when Sec refuses to give you firing pins for actual weapons.
