Science is massively hampered by RnD. The reason why xenobiology is fun is that:

A) By default, you don't need massive RnD investment to make it fun.
B) The improvements that make it more fun don't take forever (can get it roundstart through Industrial Engineering for decent upgrades).

Nuke ops can easily be given a martial art advantage by giving all of them combat gloves plus instead of just the leader; that gives you krav maga + insulated + damage protection on hands all in one.

Traitors already have an advantage in their equipment buys, I don't think they need a martial art ...

Cargo being able to order more crates to solve certain issues that require department budgets is a pretty solid idea.

For example, radiation crates that contain advanced chemicals (in the case of chemistry not doing their job / mass radiation that chemistry cannot keep up with), maybe even ...

Swagile

Tying the excess power into other departments is a great way to incentivize people making more power.

For example, cargo can order Industrial Energy Cells, which work like the power sink, except they take x amount of energy out of the cables then stops taking energy. It can then be sold based on ...

Item: The Art of Self Defence

How to get?: Late join and round start security officers, and Head of Security spawn with a manual; usable only once then disappears.

What is it? Martial arts.

How is it used?:

Disarm: Works like normal disarm, except instead of pushing someone away, it works like ...

Swagile

not gunna lie if you somehow made PKM's idea of a RTS kinda like blob but for mining, id 100 percent have shaft miner on high all the time

no offense but it sounds more rewarding and fun than trying to turn shaft miner into quasi-atmos/engineering, something that only like 20% of players enjoy ...

Swagile

just waiting for someone to comment with "everyone who is defending this are shit players!!!!" and the thread to be locked by a forum mod under the pretense of shitposting with no actual admin ruling

Swagile

@peoplearestrange

what i meant is that the people should be the ones that decide whether feedback is shit or not, especially if we get public logging like Aurx suggested, instead of admins

if its an OBVIOUS shitpost, like:

tommy posted: lol

then sure, remove it. but a collective of "shitposts ...

Swagile

man

me and pap fought sometimes but despite the spiteful insight, they are 100% right

a lot of shit got censored (even though some of it was shitposting, quite a lot of "shitposting" has a hint of truth in it)

i don't think ADMINS should be the ones deciding what is and what isn't shitposting in ...

Swagile

uhhh

its archived

but yeah, rip admin feedback

i loved admin feedback and steno back in the day when i was admin since people told me when i was shit and i improved

now we don't have that so admins don't know when what they did is bad except from admins... who, tbh, are usually friends with ...

Swagile

uhhhhhhh

is this being moved to admin complaints or locked or what...

i know i am not involved but after saegrimr's response, it seems omnitricks is being left hanging

made me ambassador brainjim for an event

cool dude otherwise when i talked 2 him ingame and in adminpms

I don't know, in my opinion the bulk of and best of RP in SS13 are situations where say a meteor hits and two unlikely people like the clown and captain are forced to survive together. They may barely even speak, but they'll run around pulling eachother out of danger and having a genuinely not real ...

Swagile

Weird and wacky names contribute to the atmosphere that is ss13.

Literally, I had a giggle in my first month of playing ss13 when a guy named "icepicker murderboner" with a mining hardsuit murdered me in maint and dragged me out into space, leaving a bloody pickaxe on top of my dead body.

Like ...

Swagile

You can still gib people. Just rig a signaller on it after revolvering / ebowing (if you are good enough / fast enough) the guy and then placing it in his pocket. Then signal the frequency.

Insta gib.

The C4 TC cost is actually a buff.

Swagile

that feeling when, start of the round, you get flashed by a vigilante assistant who somehow managed to get a flash 2 minutes in because you broke into eva.

damn... them feels.

Swagile

Just take MP's idea and start RnD out with everything but illegal maxed out, its already just a "read this walkthrough and you are going to win" simulator.

We had a talk about this in IRC as well, but I am completely unsure how I would go about making RnD fun except to start with mining being ...

Swagile

Had Sticky investigated this and/or asked another admin to investigate, he'd realize that the Warden actually opened fire because there was several radio calls about a "assistant in a durand". In rev rounds, security is extremely edgy, and with no way to identify who is in a mech except putting ...

Swagile

I feel a lot of this was rushed by Sticky and the administration currently online.

I do not have the logs currently, but when I was observering, someone in dchat told me "hey guys, marauder in thunderdome. ghost to adminbus".

So I looked for Adminbus and lo and behold, I saw a marauder. I thought ...

Swagile

But really there's no IC reason and it will cause meta if Assistants are antag-less, that's one of the best arguments against such a policy.
It's the same situation with Security Officer now, and I think people are starting to grip the idea that anyone in the game can be a traitor in disguise . If ...

Swagile

this virus is so good now that i know how to harness it.

every super power ever in 5-10-15 mins depending on your virology RNG

but yeah hulk still needs removal

Swagile

I take the same stance Sticky does in which grey tide contributes to the chaos of the game.

Many a time I have been sec or captain and have fought off bored assistants and it was fun, because they gave me something to do besides the usual gimmick or "eh, responsible captain time". And as sec, it ...

Swagile

make opening the game panel not a laggy fuck.

i know the work around is to spawn it via text commands but unless you got all the items you want memorized, good luck spending 5 minutes trying to spawn all the items you need via game panel as it cycles through all possible items with the same name ...

Swagile

You can make a voice-activated bomb and have it activate with your final words -whisper if the voice analyzer-signaler is in your pocket, it won't work if it's in your backpack. Use preferably a very short word so your gasping and such won't ruin it when you try to say it.

Oh wow, I never thought ...

Swagile

When people valid new traitor's.

By new, I mean people who still take out their PDA to order stuff and put it in their backpack in a semi-public area instead of drag and dropping and then putting the syndi items in their pockets.

Saw my miner as a QM buy a revolver in the mining area and let him ...

Swagile

With simplicity comes vulnerability to said loopholes. You don't even have to read the whole thing, it's mostly just obvious stuff. However, it serves as a guideline for admins. Like, before the change, many admins couldn't answer "Is hulk human?" question and be absolutely sure about the answer ...

Swagile

isn't rule one a thing anymore or do people have to insist on having it on a big policy page when its common knowledge not to abuse the fact that you can lock down / shock / release plasma for the kicks.

this whole policy thing is kinda weird to me, since people will exploit the loopholes in it ...

Sybil crashed / was being updated 2-3 times for a week or two so far. That is a contributing factor to population spikes.

Swagile

if the station is going to be really small (away mission, that is), just put down a pacman generator with a crate filled with one stack of 50 plasma.

should be enough power to run an entire round, unless i am mistaken on how much power it outputs.

Swagile

you also forgot the fact that you can take your id out and now you are an Unknown.

not everyone wants to be a special snowflake known by all.

Swagile

its even more annoying then a geneticist.

because you can simply laser to crit and their hulk is gone then ointment them once / twice and problem solved.

but most DNA aide viruses are paired up with tox comp and tox detox (or whatever its called), so you have people coming out of crit then turning ...

Atmos has always been like science.

Except science is known for booms more then atmos.

They keep to themselves, make disposal canons / re-route disposals for shits and giggles, and make canister bombs because why not, just like scientists fuck around because why not.

Most people, however, go ...

Swagile

During any of those other modes if you're competent. A lot of the time doing your job during those modes can counter them. If RnD gets shit done during blob they can shit on the blob easily. If engineering is competent they can reverse atmos floods by malf ais and remove shocked doors and shit and ...

I like the idea of viro working together with geneticists to contain super powers.

dealing with golems as sec is shit.

you can't tell who the perp is in a crowd of golems trying to run away at sanic speeds after assaulting / stealing, etc.

naming golems will solve a LOT of problems with golems.

Swagile

Remove Hulk from the Superpowers virus and then it's probably fine.
Or alternatively make it so that the powers you have don't change every few seconds.
Durkel nailed everything I hate about it.

What they said, Hulk simply forces Security to either let the perp go or to execute them. You can't ...
