Starting out, there's a few things you can do. You now have a Silicon tab on the top right, which has a few options to let you settle in to your new existence. You can change your AI core display (basically your appearance), your Hologram appearance, and the display status (which might not be working properly). You can also show and state your laws in case someone law 2s you to state them, and you can also toggle your sensor overlays (medical, security, or squad). It's usually best to turn these on. You can also make announcements so you can textually shitpost at will (at least not excessively). Other settings include camera acceleration (ew no), radio control, the ability to view the crew manifest, and the ability to commit die (shutdown).
 +
 +
You have a few action buttons available to click as well. You can track a certain person (or even xeno!), turn on the camera lights, Jump to any camera, and the ability to jump back to your core. You also have the ability to turn on multicam mode, which can either be very helpful or very disorienting. Though for some reason, jumping to people groundside will require you to have to jump to a groundside camera first to load in the groundside camera view. This only needs go be done once every round though. You can jump to people normally afterwards.

You can activate an area's atmospherics alarm to section it off for whatever reason, which can come in handy at times. The other Settings are useless since atmos does not exist here.

As the ship's onboard Artificial Intelligence, you are to the marines what the [[TGMC:Hivemind|Hivemind]] is to the xenos. You control most of everything on the ship, be it doors, fire alarms, air alarms, computer consoles, if you can see it, and it's digital in nature, chances are you can control it. This also means you are a glorified door handle that opens any door the marines need you to open. Your reach only extends throughout the ship however,as you have no connection to any devices groundside. The closest you have to a groundside connection is he Overwatch Consoles in the CIC which allows you to see what any marine can see, effectively letting you take over the role of [[TGMC:Staff Officer|Staff Officer]].

CAS lasers are your only way of launching long range railguns, but require somebody to actually use them.

Introduction

As the ship's onboard Artificial Intelligence, you are to the marines what the Hivemind is to the xenos. You control most powered machinery on the ship, including doors, fire alarms, and computer consoles. However, your reach only extends to machinery to can see. You can see the marines' cameras by jumping to them using the view cameras action button assuming they have an active headset.

As a Silicon, you are bound to a lawset. Your laws are:

1.) Safeguard: Protect your assigned vessel from damage to the best of your abilities.
2.) Serve: Serve the personnel of your assigned vessel, and all other TerraGov personnel to the best of your abilities, with priority according to their rank and role.
3.) Protect: Protect the personnel of your assigned vessel, and all other TerraGov personnel to the best of your abilities, with priority according to their rank and role.
4.) Preserve: Do not allow unauthorized personnel to tamper with your equipment.

You are not just tasked to pulling the slack on shipside when there are no STs to turn on engine, you act as part of CIC to advise tactical movements and order resupply for marines. Your bird's eye view on the marines permit you to have information that they wouldn't otherwise have so that they secure the winner winner chicken dinner on xenomorphs. Your unlimited access to requisition also help marines when they are low on ammo or need of special toys.

Default radio commands:

  • .v for Command
  • .u for Requisitions
  • .m for Medical
  • .s for Fire Support
  • .e for Engineering
  • .q for ALPHA SQUAD
  • .b for BRAVO SQUAD
  • .c for CHARLIE SQUAD
  • .d for DELTA SQUAD
  • , for General radio
  • .n for Silicon
  • ,6 for Robotspeak
  • ,x for Alienspeak
  • For custom squads, the radio prefix
    is usually the first letter of the squad name

Abilities and Functions

Starting out, there's a few things you can do. You now have a Silicon tab on the top right, which has a few options to let you settle in to your new existence. You can change your AI core display (basically your appearance), your Hologram appearance, and the display status (which might not be working properly). You can also show and state your laws in case someone law 2s you to state them, and you can also toggle your sensor overlays (medical, security, or squad). It's usually best to turn these on. You can also make announcements so you can textually shitpost at will (at least not excessively). Other settings include camera acceleration (ew no), radio control, the ability to view the crew manifest, and the ability to commit die (shutdown).

You have a few action buttons available to click as well. You can track a certain person (or even xeno!), turn on the camera lights, Jump to any camera, and the ability to jump back to your core. You also have the ability to turn on multicam mode, which can either be very helpful or very disorienting. Though for some reason, jumping to people groundside will require you to have to jump to a groundside camera first to load in the groundside camera view. This only needs go be done once every round though. You can jump to people normally afterwards.

When it comes to doors,

shift-clicking allows you to open them
ctrl-clicking bolts them


You can activate an area's atmospherics alarm to section it off for whatever reason, which can come in handy at times. The other Settings are useless since atmos does not exist here.

You can click a holopad while your camera is directly centered to one to project a holographic avatar, which can listen in to anything nearby. You can then use :h to speak through the holopad.

Hotkey tips

Ctrl click closes a door. Alt click places the select order and lets you see all of a turf/tile content. Shift click opens doors.

Ctrl click on a firelock to toggle its alarm status.

Ctrl click on an APC to toggle its breaker

For groundside support hotkeys

Ctrl Click finds the coordinates of a tile

Shift Click fires a linked artillery

Middle Mouse Button Geotags a Xeno and alerts all marines to its position and their relative position to the xenomorph

Ctrl + Shift + Click Fires your special railgun, it has a separate CD from the railgun fired by binoculars however you can only fire it when a marine sees something rather than the long range binos.

Alt + Click on a tile after selecting your order type to place the order (attack, defend, rally & retreat)

How to do your job Well

Most importantly, try to delegate tasks. If you are focusing all of your attention on something, you are wasting your ability to multitask. Of course, if you are focusing on requisitions, it can be worth it if the Req Officer isn't available.

Combat Droids Have Antennas that requisition can use to drop supplies!

Always inform marines that you have launched your railgun since it almost always will be launched close to somebody (the retreat & global marine order is great for this).

CAS lasers from the tac binoculars count as cameras, with camera lights on you can light up the area around it for free.

CAS lasers are your only way of launching long range railguns, but require somebody to actually use them.

You're the person marines expect to check on the fob and make sure it hasn't died every once and a while if nobody is home. Don't let them down!

Communication

You can issue CIC orders to motivate marines to do what you want them to do. However, like any jobs in CIC, it's herding cats. All you can do is advise, watch, and pray that everything goes well.

Shoot at Xeno if bored!

TGMC combatdroid.png When you are bored from yelling at marines to not push caves, you can also use a bipedal combat drone to help marines shoot xenomorphs. Be careful as these weapon systems do not have IFF.

TGMC vehicle unmanned light.png If you want IFF, you can purchase a chassis from requisitions.

Expectations from Marines

  • Ordering stuff for marines when there are no humans to process orders
  • Providing drop coordinates for those lazy apes
  • Cycling the dropships whenever there is a need for it (every time)
  • Keeping an eye on the ship systems, generally power
  • Informing staff of the Orbital Canon status (shell type and such) and occasionally fire it
  • Open doors to places people shouldn't be
  • Lock doors to restraint the movement of any hostiles.
  • Pinging every xeno you see for marines to swarm.
