You could add mousedown() support for holding a click in a direction to strafe in that direction and also for fully automatic weapons but it sends a lot of traffic to the server so I dunno if we want to implement it

strafing is a shit but if we did it like pap said it might be cool
toggle strafing/making strafing the default is bad since people just slide around everywhere and never turn around or anything

Craftable baseball bats that can later have spikes added to them. They have a low chance to hit thrown items back at the the thrower except for something like a grenade that just explodes.

Other way around, Spears and such go through, but anything small and round - say, grenades - is returned.

Putting absolute fucktons of power into an APC should cause it to periodically cause !!FUN!! things to happen depending on just how excessive the power supply is.

Start with popping lights slightly more often, step up to setting off sparks in the area, blowing all the lights, small fires, breaking equipment and finally causing the cell to explode just as if it had plasma in it.

90% of the bad stuff should be mitigated by the breaker tripping and a power alarm going off unless the APC is emagged.

While we're at it, add a non-emag way to fuck with the breakers by just cramming wire in there to bypass them. Doing so removes normal control over the APC via the interface, locks it into an always-on state, and will shock you without gloves.

Speaking of traitor items nobody ever uses, surgery dufflebags. This item is absolutely useless, unless you have a fully assembled cyborg shell - in order to create which, you need to be in robotics. But here's the deal - if you're in robotics anyway, you also have access to tools and MMIs. Sure, you still have to subvert the borg, but it can be done with an emag, a much better item - or hell, even a simple freeform board will replicate the effect of the syndicate MMI, since they both don't give the borg access to hacked weapons.
Solution - raise the price on it, but supply a fully assembled cyborg shell with it too. Also, give cyborgs created with syndicate MMI access to hacked tools.

Honestly I had a few ideas for Syndicate MMI cyborgs, though both would require jacking up the price but if there was more functionality I think it'd see more use.

My first idea would be to give them a traitor-comms key and/or a traitor HUD, make them unemaggable, as well as unable to law-sync or connect to an AI.
As well as self-destruct upon death, or by choice, to prevent retrieving the MMI (blowing from the console also prevents MMI retrieval). The MMI could still be retrieved if you repeatedly flashed/ioned it while deconstructing.

Before any of you say that'd be too OP, let me point out that the syndie MMI doesn't give the borg hacked modules and it's stuck with an uneditable Syndie OS that lacks a Law 0 defining only you are a Syndicate Agent. Essentially meaning it'd have to obey, protect and conceal the presence of every traitor it came across - and it's doubly screwed if it's a Double Agent round. I'd say a good price for this would be 6 TCs since the cyborg has perfect knowledge of who is a traitor but doesn't necessarily have to tell you or help you exclusively.

My other idea would be to make them not appear on the robo console at all, essentially forcing a confrontation if Security wants to deactivate it, and unemaggable to prevent it from easily getting hacked modules or complete loyalty to any single person. The MMI would not blow up on this version and sec could easily interrogate it for answers. I'd make this version a solid 12-16 TCs at least since a borg with no robo connection would be at least destructive, if not more, as a Syndie bomb or a hacked AI and it's cost would have to be in the same ballpark.

I think you're greatly overestimating the power of an unhacked cyborg. The most dangerous module of them all is standard, since it has a stun baton, and even then it's not really all that great. In order to reliably kill someone, an unhacked borg has to whack a guy with a stunbaton and drag him to the nearest airlock, all while stunning his victim again and again, draining his battery rapidly. This is by no means a syndcate bomb level of destruction.

I've actually used the surgery dufflebag to convert my target into my cyborg minion as an assistant before. I broke into robotics when nobody was watching and swiped a finished shell and just tossed the shit into some obscure maint corner to drag my target to.

Dufflebag is super conditional and looses all actual value for some jobs but it has valid use. Also if you're hitting the person enough with a baton that its draining the cell to unusuable levels then either you're hitting them a lot more than you need to or you have a shitty cell.

A retards guide on how to make a maxcap bomb in toxins.
NSFW:
You`ll need:
1-6 Plasma tanks 1-6 Oxygen tanks
1-6 tank transfer valve
2 Plasma canister
2 Oxygen canister
1 Yellow (empty) canister
Wrench
Toxins lab access
Science testing lab access

Grab a oxygen tank and a plasma tank and bring them to the testing lab.
Super cool the Oxygen and superheat the Plasma.

Clean out the oxygen and plasma tanks with a filter/pump.

Then you wrench and unwrench the plasma and oxygen tanks in toxins. It`s important tha you do it one at a time. Try to get a 85%plasma and 15% oxygen mix.

Once you have a good burn mix, pump the mix into the burn chamber and light it on fire. Wait 10 seconds for it to heat up and pump it into a yellow (empty) canister.

Quickly set the kpa output to 163 kpa and fill the tanks with the burn mix.

Take the oxygen tanks and fill it up with a 613kpa worth of oxygen FIRST then fill the rest with plasma, you should get well over 2000kpa in the end.

With the new atmos system you should wait 5-10 minutes for you tanks to bake.

Take a tank transfer valve, add a oxygen tank and a plasma tank to it. You should have a maxcap bomb. Have fun blowing up the station mining!

What if the chameleon traitor set came with a small signaler/PDA cartridge that let you switch the entire set on the fly instead of one at a time?
It would be good for quick disguise changes and maybe the signaler/PDA cartridge could be the only way of switching them, to prevent people from knowing you're a traitor just by stripping you and checking for the HuD icon.

On second thought though maybe not mech weapons, though it would be amusing to just go full 40K and make assistants into gun servitors it might be a little overpowered.

Make it an implant, and have it brings up a window with a pixel map of your surroundings, a bit bigger than the size of your screen. Doesn't show any detail, only shows walls (or anything that cannot be walked through), airlocks, floors, people, and their line of sight.

Am in full support of full 40k, but why not gunservitor cyborgs bound to serve only their creators and or the ai or what ever.

this would also enable borging to be more of a punishment, like in 40k. like they could cut off all your limbs and replace your feet with a floor buffer.

Replacing anti-breach shield generators with goon's pocket ones, make them require a power source. Coverage depends on power cell's capacity. They spawn without power cell. Some are spawned in engineering(like 2-4), you can also get some from engi-vend. Also some spawn in emergency storages (like one below hydroponics on box and one below tech storage on meta).
Why?
Engineers now actually have access to anti-breach shields without asking CE/AI to open secure storage if it was closed, they don't have to pull that shit all the way through crowded hallways/narrow maintenance and now can actually prevent meteors from hitting the station instead of fixing what's been hit. Maybe will have to lower barrier's hp because of that a bit.

Uplink item
PDA tracker
Cheap TC item, let's say 2 TCs, that functions as a PDA cartridge. Upon inserting into your PDA, turns the screen into one akin to a pinpointer and points to another person's PDA, so long as their ringer is active. Can only track existing PDAs and if the trackee's PDA is destroyed or turned off or not on the same z-level as the tracker, displays a big question mark.
Good for hunting miners, people with altered identities but are holding onto their PDA or finding that one target who's gone braindead in a locker somewhere deep in maintenance.
