Is this not a feature already? I remember dropping beakers when coughing and getting a flufftext about them breaking and splashing on the floor.

Add a random event that causes the vision fog overlay to appear for every crewmember. Some time later, an ear-splitting air raid siren plays and spawns a couple of faithless next to every crewmember.

In addition to "passively" and "aggressively", players can now grab one another "suggestively".

This sounds like it could be a real thing now that I remembered that histamine exists. It'd screw over a random person even worse than appendicitis, with even more alignment of the stars required for it to occur. Sounds like great fun for everyone PR when?

the singulo chamber is closed off last time i checked, and even if it wasnt they would get pulled in, and there are no exposed wires in engineering :V

Give traitor AIs the ability to wirelessly emag machines and mobs by clicking them. This means a traitor AI could, with the help of one of its own borgs/human tratior/unsuspecting roboticist subvert unslaved borgs. You can pull shenanigans such as emaging APCs to appear Malf, emag doors for allowing greytide into restricted areas, sell contraband from the Syndicate to Cargo, and a bunch of other funny and dangerous things with various computers and machines!

That's not half bad.

Also, here's another lizard-centric one: Reptilian genetics! (At least for the two big blocks.)
Instead of x-ray, lizards grow a pit organ, therefore get thermal vision (plus the ability to see mobs inside bins, pipes, tubes and lockers, as well as through chameleon projectors and stealth fields.)
And instead of HALK! they should, naturally, turn into Deathclaws.

They have the genetic defect variant, not the superpower, but I can see how you would be confused by that (what with you being a lizard and all). :^)

TheNightingale · Wed Jun 17, 2015 12:01 pm

No, no, what I'm saying is that lizards already have the 'sssuperior race' superpower. Humans don't, though, and because it doesn't show up on the Genetics console, you need to transplant a human brain into a lizard body to unlock it.

(And slightly more on-topic: an admin button that turns every player-controlled mob into a lizardperson, and every brainless mob into a normal lizard.)

Paddy wagon mech.

Lightish armor/decent speed, can't use the big guns (just tasers, flashbang launcher, utility mods etc).
Has a capacity for X number of people (3-5, since a ripley can carry like 200 people). Bonus points if it can also hold securitrons/ED-209's.
You can drag people onto the mech to put them in, but only the pilot can let them out.

Mech comes along to crime scene, helps stun nerds/unleash a bunch of 209's.
Sec officers put cuffed criminal scum into the paddy wagon.
wagon fucks off back to brig and disgorges it's payload into brig cells.

No more worrying about losing prisoners on the way to the brig/holding multiple prisoners at once.
You could also use it as an APC, by carrying sec officers inside and droping them off ready for battle.

Honestly, I think a mech that could breach and clusterbang rooms, and also transport prisoners, would be pretty cool. For security, anyway. It's not unusual to need to fuck up a cult/gang/rev base.

I remember thinking of these and suggesting em a while ago ingame, but

Detcord - ???? TC

Looks like a cablecoil, looks like cable when placed, and even works like a wire. ignite it though and it'll go off along it's placed length in a couple of seconds, acting like a low yield explosive fuse. should knockdown/stun anyone on tiles it is under/adjacent to and has the bonus effect of causing any placed explosive bombs to go off. Don't know if it should be able to breach hull or not, or how much it should cost/how much you get. But i thought it was a rad idea. Also can be shaped (using maybe half of the reel) to punch through rwalls like a door knocking charge.

rigged cell - exactly like a cell injected with plasma, but easier to obtain if not in engineering / chem/ sci - 2 TC

Platinum slimes that come from splitting sepia slimes. When a platinum slime core is injected with plasma, it creates a chronofield like with a sepia slime, but instead of being able to throw or shoot things you can punch with no click delay.

New food item: The Dindu Muffin

Emag capability for sleepers.
Emagging a sleeper will randomly scramble its buttons, making it frustrating to use. Pressing the button for morphine might inject salbutamol instead. A player can use trial and error to figure out which buttons are which.

Silentanium doors and airlocks make no noise when opened, silentanium walls are invisible, and of course the Reticence can now be built in Robotics, with the assembly options for parts and circuitry only being visible to mimes.
