Buying terrible shuttles
Some shuttles will lead to certain death and should probably only be bought as 1. an antag or 2. make you valid as shit because:
1. People who dindu nuffin will die
2. Antags might die even after being stealthy and being denied their red text because lol le epic shuttle

Re: Buying terrible shuttles
I kind of wish people RPed more with this, like, you can only get the normal shuttle if you have X amount of cargo credits at the time of calling, and if not, you get bare bones or worse. Force cargo to not be shit, or for people to get credits via other means. But that would be incredibly controversial.

Re: Buying terrible shuttles
I'm picturing a mad-scramble at round end to ship as much shit as possible once everyone realizes they can't afford a survivable shuttle.bandit wrote:I kind of wish people RPed more with this, like, you can only get the normal shuttle if you have X amount of cargo credits at the time of calling, and if not, you get bare bones or worse.

Re: Buying terrible shuttles
If you mean ones that are small and likely to be chaotic take a pod if it bothers you, you have a large amount of time between the shuttle being purchased and the shuttle launching to plan around it.

You people have to realize that you have some control over what the fuck happens to you in this game and can make conscious decisions to avoid situations which will obviously be dangerous for you, such as these

Re: Buying terrible shuttles
This only applies to the meteor shuttle, the others are annoying and antagish not because they are big and live outside the normal docking area but because they're poorly constructed or have weird requirements to enter them, just repeating the same quote over and over again when it only applies to 1/4 of the argument makes you look dumbkevinz000 wrote:Kor wrote:danno wrote:>sit in escape

Re: Buying terrible shuttles
See my second post about "go to one of the 4 escape pods which can fit unlimited people" then. The gamer revolves around a random series of things going wrong each round, and as far as adversity goes, this is pretty easily mitigated/avoided

Re: Buying terrible shuttles
If its a major issue considering allowing Centcom/Admins to send the Centcom Ship as a second evacuation ship, while tying it to the same three minutes/two minute timers.
I feel fine with the current system for the most part. I think the crew should be more vocal if they disagree with a ship purchase. Maybe a timer or a two card authorisation should be added if the Captain tries to buy a very disruptive ship like the meteor one, to either give the crew some time to protest (timer) or that not just one man can buy the most disruptive ship (authorisation)

Re: Buying terrible shuttles
Any time I've fallen victim to a non-default shuttle it's either been
a) I was not paying attention and the meteor slammed me (my fault)
or
b) I was too lazy/didn't care enough to go to a pod instead and boarded the shuttle knowing full well that my chances of survival had just significantly dropped
I'm a fucking moron apparently, so if I can figure this shit out surely the rest of you can

Re: Buying terrible shuttles
On the offchance the boob who buys an asteroid shuttle survives to depart on it, if they got someone killed in the process then they're totally legit for a good lynching.
At the very least cuff them loot them and leave them hogtied to a pipe in some god-forsaken part of maintenance. Hell it's probably good form to do this to anyone who buys a shitshuttle as soon as they buy it.
Still think it's a fun feature though.

Re: Buying terrible shuttles
It's not so much the meteor, it's like the one room shuttles and the ones with weird requirements for entering. People can buy shuttles at or near roundstart while people won't know which shuttle is ordered till it comes if it gets ordered before they join 20-30 minutes in.danno wrote:Any time I've fallen victim to a non-default shuttle it's either been

Then trying to get to the escape pods at the other side of the station while people are early launching and what not is impossible or aggravating as fuck. There's only two pods for non-sec/non-engineering.

Regardless, there is a very easy way to discern what shuttle is going to come should you have missed the message.

I'll be honest, as an admin I'd consider buying deadly / anti-crew shuttles pretty good grounds for the crew to mutiny if they get mad about it.
