Camera bug is trash
The camera bug's menu is a bunch of buttons corresponding to the names of cameras around the station, but this list is neither alphabetical nor quick-scrollable by pressing a letter like every other decent menu is.

Re: Camera bug is trash
Some cameras have names that aren't immediately sensible (can't remember specifics but some in the brig have names you wouldn't expect.
The camera bug is an awesome little item, but yeah, it's super fucking clunky.

Re: Camera bug is trash
It's dirt cheap and allows remote viewing to every corner of the station if you can just remember the camera name, it's fine.

Re: Camera bug is trash
Not sure if the camera menu was ever swapped over to tg's menu but if it was would there be a way to add a field next to the camera names for notes so players can kind of label them? Alternatively if they still use the old window prompt maybe make it so you can rename them in the menu?

Re: Camera bug is trash
camera bug needs to be like a mobile advanced camera console at the very least.

Re: Camera bug is trash
Well, maybe it should be. Maybe it should be more expensive, too. Because now it's so clunky and awkward to use, nobody does it.

Re: Camera bug is trash
It got updated quite a whole ago, which rolled all the upgrades into the default bug. You don't have to bug cameras, and back when you had to, you could just upgrade it at tool storage to get around that.ExcessiveCobblestone wrote:You have to tag the cameras first :^)Kor wrote:It's one telecrystal guys it doesn't need to be a scrying orb

Re: Camera bug is trash
I was referring to the controls. I'm aware that viewing rooms remotely is powerful, yes.Kor wrote:Being able to view rooms remotely isn't shit thoughMisterPerson wrote:I'd rather it be usable than shit.

It's 1tc because the controls suck. Obviously if that changes, the price should change as well.Armhulen wrote:I'd rather it not be 1tc but also be good.

How easy something is to control has long been a part of videogame balancing (the handling on your car, the recoil on your rifle, the string of buttons you need for the combo). Nothing wrong with making something difficult to use when it's powerful.I was referring to the controls.

Re: Camera bug is trash
I didn't mean to imply that there weren't knobs or anything we could fiddle with. Like in a car racing game, it's absolutely fair to have some cars that handle well and others that handle like a brick on wheels. What would not be fair would be to have an FPS where reloading was mapped to p and you couldn't rebind it and you absolutely had to use wasd to move and couldn't rebind that either. But it's competetive balance for a powerful gun! It's also unfun bullshit.Kor wrote:How easy something is to control has long been a part of videogame balancing (the handling on your car, the recoil on your rifle, the string of buttons you need for the combo).

Nobody buys the camera bug and it literally could not be any cheaper. The issue isn't access. We could probably give the damn thing away for free and people would still not buy it.
