There is a better solution for it than this, though, and I've suggested it multiple times during post-game and ooc discussion.Incomptinence wrote:I like longer rounds the "i stubbed my toe call the shuttle" (literally got them to roll with that on goon long ago) meta is not a new problem and is probably largely a symptom of mechanics.
I like that this will bring longer rounds as short rounds were causing my burn out and thumbed up the pr but as usual how valid criticism is being handled on something that by author admission needs testing and tweaks is pretty rubbish.
If the captain actually suffered some sort of punishment for summoning the shuttle when "ouch I stubbed my toe" or "2 people have died in 22 minutes and I'm scared" (really anything less than large-scale destruction of the station), then it would cut down on those incidents. The lore already states that they get executed if they abandon the station , so maybe disallow them from being captain or a head for a couple rounds or something. Of course, there should be some sort of condition that this restriction wouldn't apply (and maybe just disallow them from being captain for a round or something), and of course it wouldn't apply if cap was already dead, but it'd likely fix the issue.
