Re: Xenos are too common for how unfun they are

Oh and to touch on the actual problems xenos seem to have:

Xenos frequently get stomped out too early, and the queen has very little to do for most of the game because of her lack of speed.

So to remedy this: I have two things I'd like to try out (whenever I get off my lazy ass and do them)

Re: Robustin Suicide Watch - A way forward on the Engineerin

Reviire I have contemplated that before but its ridiculously hard to make it work.

We already have complex/expensive machines that the crew can build and they've all been failures because they require 3+ departments to work together and put in a lot of elbow grease for a modest benefit. If I try ...

Well, thread was a wild ride. I just want to put my own idea in on the whole engineering incentives. Why not give them expensive, complex machines that benefit everyone in some way? i.e, station wide bonuses, or something anyone can come and pick up. It could tie in with atmos too, some power hog ...

Re: Borg brain policy

Hi. Borg here.

I was a roundstart borg, and due to antag checking, the AI and I (The borg) both rolled changeling, atleast that's what i gathered from Blessed. I was a changeling though, I had absorb genome objectives.

He fixed that, and gave the AI a law 0. The AI hacked me early on, and when you ...

Instead of flickering lights, what if the light diminishing ability dimmed lights considerably, making the large wall mounted ones having a range of 1-2 tiles, and incredibly dim, making PDA's only light up the tile they are on, and flares maybe 3-4 tiles out ...

Re: Is there a reason to keep "Lings have killed someone" fl

My various cents.

I think this policy only encourages valid hunting. It doesn't give a changeling any ability whatsoever to even work with the AI. Under asimov, the AI would still have to kill the changeling if ordered. But under other lawsets, this will not always be the case.

It wouldn't allow ...

Re: D.I.A.A.S - not following laws because they dislike a la

Vinyl has stretched the laws before as AI when I was captain after receiving orders he didn't want to follow. In the case I'm describing, science wanted to create a new AI and as captain I green-lighted it. During Vinyl's construction within the AI's core the original AI proved nervous about the ...

Pandarsenic. The policy does say that, but why should i automatically valid them because of what the policy says? I want to give them equal chance because they're still a player, it's unfair to just kill them because they're an antag, even when acting peaceful (Never commit an evil act)

Well, i never intended to obstruct the captain in what he was doing, as long as he did not commit evil.

I treat antags as anyone else when they commit evil. If they punch someone, they get brigged for assault. If they get assaulted, the attacker gets brigged. They get punished according to their ...

Re: D.I.A.A.S - not following laws because they dislike a la

From my perspective:

The round started, and after setting up tcomms and stuff, the captain went into the upload. I told him not to upload Paladin, because it's not a good lawset (This had nothing to do with what happened later). I left it at that, after explaining why it's not good for me. I never ...

Re: [POLL]Should the Assistant role have reduced Antag statu

My 2 cents after reading a page of the thread

Automatically jobban people from assistant after say, 2 weeks of playing. It will force people into job slots, and the only time they will get around said jobban (I believe it can happen if you're forced into the role), is if there are no more job slots ...
