Hey tapioca, new peanut thread from yours truly.

Suboptimal research play detected, deploying lethal force.

[BonChoi]

Someone doing something to piss someone else off and then ahelping the consequences is a rule one issue

[BonChoi]

I would even argue that during events like warops the stakes are way, way higher and therefore the threshold of "pissing off your fellow players" is a lot lower than it would usually be.

[Donglesplonge]

as a dude who really only plays science the temptation to kill my own department members over stupid shit in any normal round is already really high

its warops, your ass deserves it if you hit the button to research shit that we don't need and only serves to waste time

[Imitates-The-Lizards]

I am here to remind everyone once again that the science department has the worst players. In terms of coworker quality, it goes:

Service = Engineering = Cargo = Silicon > Medical = Roundstart Prisoners > Graytide > Security > Command > power gap > demilitarized zone > People who actively hate you > gulf > trench > The League of legends community > Whatever community you mistakenly believe is the most toxic community in gaming > The dead by daylight community > A rift in space > A literal ocean > Science

[Timonk]

They should have squared up like in Mortal Kombat before killing each other

[EmpressMaia]

Too iffy to enforce. Because you know some power gamers will be crying a scientist didn't research rhe right thing

[Jonathan Gupta]

its not even about enforcing the shit, its just a ic issue.

[PapaMichael]

The crew already starts the shift with the most powerful item to attack war ops with (batong)
Non issue

[EmpressMaia]

its not even about enforcing the shit, its just a ic issue.

Also this. But MRPmins LOOOOVE to enforce non secensical rulings

[Not-Dorsidarf]

My question is at what point does wasting resources in nuke ops become a free kill for the roiling mob?

Like, if someone's carving statues with glass and metal and building a lounge instead of using it to build nukeops defenses, I think we all agree that would be insane to kill them.
But if someone spaced the entire armory then everyone would agree that it would be insane not to kill them.

Where do you draw the line on the gradient of "making the nuke op game subotimal" to "ruining the crews chances to fight back"?

How rare/expensive the stuff being destroyed/consumed is.
Metal is cheap, the whole station's made of it. Guns are rare - you get like 3 lasers and 3 energy guns unless you have the money to buy more.
