Dangerous shuttle purchases as non-antag.

Post by Gouty » #364228

Meme shuttles are cool. But if you buy the hyperfractal gigashuttle, or the arena, or the asteroid, or that one that is full of plasma stuff (that might have just been an adminmeme though) people are going to die. Should you be allowed to do it as a non-antag? Discuss

I think they're hilarious, so yes. It's not like you have no warning about it, and you can always pussy out and take a pod.

I'd say the captain should be able to buy dangerous meme shuttles as long as its not an every round thing, but if your not an antag and you buy a meme shuttle that you could reasonably expect to cause deaths and then people die I see no reason to treat it differently from SM sabotage or releasing plasma or [insert other deliberate creation of death trap here].

Remember that pods are available and it's extremely rare for every pod to be filled.
Meme shuttles exist to provide some minor conflict or survival, and provide interaction between the captain and the crew.

Most bad shuttle purchases aren't captains interacting with the crew, they are greyshirts stealing all access and ordering the shuttle in an attempt to annoy sec and command so they can feel cool by evading or outrobusting them.

I still believe the very deadly ones should be high priced shuttles, as I'd prefer "paying to 'grief' " over "getting paid to 'grief' ".

i still find it funny that people see the asteroid as game-breakingly deadly. if you dont have the presence of mind to think to yourself "huh i bet this huge grid of blue circles that usually denote a shuttle arrival are nothing" for a full ten seconds (not counting the time it actually takes to spawn in), that is frankly a massive case of the gitguds.

that said, some of the other shuttles like the supermatter shuttle are a bit much even in my opinion.

The previous ruling on this was that deadly meme shuttles on the odd occasion are fine. Buying the asteroid every round is probably when its time to bwoink.

My policy has always been if it has been called more than twice in a row, they are asked to stop. Usually, I'll tell them the round before to stop, never leave a note for it unless it becomes a habit. It's funny when it happens, though (again) things get less funny if they happen each round.

It should be fine as long as people don't run it into the ground. Having the same shuttle called every round for five hours straight kills the point of something that is different and fun.

i believe this should be allowed as long as they don't spam "wooden box" for 5 hours on end.
i also believe that if they use a bad shuttle they (help or directly) open themselves up to conflict and retaliation from the crew, who doesn't want to be on a wooden box to blow the fuck up.

I had a problem with this long ago before the blue bubbles got added, and even afterwards its hard to spot them against the light grey tile floors.

The real problem here, as with anything remotely fun on this game:

Either true freedom to buy whatever as many times as you want or make it admin approval like station names you fucking commies.

Or here's an idea: code it so you can't buy the same shuttle as the previous round

Quite simply, it's only a problem when spammed, and that's the point when an admin steps in. We don't need to neuter ANOTHER part of the game because one shuttle is a little easier to bomb than the other.

I would say it's entirely fine up to a point.

When it actually becomes noticeable that someone is buying the same crappy shuttle again and again then it's gone too far and is spam they should get a quick warning bwoink.
So uhh, I'm an admin. Please leave feedback! Oops took me a while to strike that through.

Why would the admins who consider it griefing to buy Shuttle A suddenly consider it good behavior if Shuttle A functioned the exact same but also bankrupted cargo

If you bring something less than ideal to the station there should be some kind of tradeoff bonus for doing so (and vice versa)

I don't consider it good behavior but it wouldn't be right for me to ban for it when the people who die are the ones okay with it and the common mentality is that it's okay to do as a nonantag nonconsecutively.I don't like the shuttles to begin with when they're just there for lolgrief, it's just that now it's

1) uncommon enough to not be a nuisance which seems to be the default here AND now admins are pretty much out of the equation because the mechanics enforce the policy (a good thing imo).
2) not a benefit to anyone now that cargo doesn't get credits, meaning you're open to retaliation since you don't have any excuse.

Also you can "bank" the money by placing it in stock. If you don't want to lose it to shitler captains greys being greys someone totally on accident confirming the death shuttle purchase, invest today!

Just take a look at the luxury shuttle. It's basically pay to grief cargo doubly (buying the shuttle along with taking money from vault to get in) along with paying to grief the crew (the poor mans section is a deathtrap worse than oh hi daniel). 0 Issues with it being spammed and 0 issues with people griping about how cargo is now fugged, no?

Let's be clear, we (I) are not encouraging the shuttles to be priced so they may be obtained roundstart and can just lolnope cargo's basic starting points. I am expecting them to be on par with luxury and arena so they take a while to get if gotten at all.

I joked that some of these shuttles were flying policy threads.

On one hand I support Captain having discretion to do stupid dangerous shit and let ~emergent RP~ take care of it. Or alternatively, don't ride the death shuttles if you don't want to die. They invented pods for a reason.

On the other hand we have all sorts of decisions punishing captains for doing dangerous shit. My last ban was upheld because even my bounty for lizard/cat tails COULD have (but didn't) result in people dying/having their round ruined.

Yet here we are where Captains are totally allowed to order shuttles that have a 99.999% of killing innocents.

There needs to be a guiding principle here because its cases like this that show how our policy is an incoherent patchwork for the harder cases.

Also @shitty tradeoff logic:

Tradeoffs are only meaningful is the person who benefits has to pay a meaningful price. No captain has ever cared about Cargo unless someone emagged the console or its a revolution. Hell, captains are more likely to benefit if a broke-ass cargo isn't cracking open weapon crates. The only thing high prices do is keep the dumbass captains who dont know about tech disks from ordering the high-end grief and settling for basic-grief packages like Oh, Hi Daniel. That's hardly a nuanced tradeoff that keeps grief shuttles in line.

@Robustin I pretty regularly see people buy the asteroid shuttle as soon as the war declaration comes in, at least some people are using it as intended

Re: Dangerous shuttle purchases as non-antag.

No because he owns the station, including cargo and shuttle purchases. He’s within his right to do that, you’re within your right to fight back if you’re inclined, and he’s within his right to defend himself should you choose that.

Actually no he's in control of the station. NanoTrasen own it. Do you know the difference between ownership and control?

I'm gonna need to know your age sorry.
So uhh, I'm an admin. Please leave feedback! Oops took me a while to strike that through.

The asteroid isn't the biggest issue, you can step out of the way easily. The big issues are the hyperfractal and inferno shuttles, and to a lesser extent the incredibly small ones that can be easily wiped clean by one bomb.

Shuttles are also most definitely not "a reward for the captain", it's a "reward" for whoever steals all access and sneaks onto the bridge or captains office, then immediately fucks off.

Making the captain valid doesn't count as fair play for ordering a dangerous shuttle because you're basically reenacting a reverse copy of the "kill Ian so that the HoP tries to attack you so you can kill him" situation we hated so much, except the person baiting the fight has access to all the guns on the station, a very dangerous sword, and the entirety of security and command under him. Not only do you need to actually kill the captain (no small task), you need to make sure that everyone from command and security is either onboard or doesn't care, or you're gonna get yourself killed.

And lastly, letting the captain/whoever else giggle to themselves because they ordered a shuttle that can/will get people killed without getting in trouble is the lamest kind of reward that goes against everything we expect from players in the rules. You literally cannot argue that this doesn't stick out from normal expectations of the rules.
P.S. Shoot Dr. Allen on sight and dissolve his body in acid. Don't burn it.
