I realize I'm late to the party and I've barely touched SS13 in years but that won't stop me from having an opinion

As long as silicons are bound by the main rules, they will always be defacto crew bound, because that's like 90% of the purpose of the main rules
The main reason silicons are defacto ...

I would absolutely accept this if there was a more practical way to announce a threat without getting yourself killed.

CDranzer

Sure, let's give an antagonist a full security getup while also making security's job harder by removing their implicit authority.
I see no way this could end catastrophically for absolutely fucking everybody.

CDranzer

Seems pretty cool. Would be better than the cargo shuttle smuggling because it actually has some sort of impact on the round(removes the escape pod) and leaves conspicuous prints behind.

Exactly, I hate how obvious it is to smuggle a object in cargo, usually you will get caught for that ...

Although I have no real objection to it, this also feels like a non-issue
Are there really hordes of trialmins accidentally activating secborgs? Is the secborg code really this enormous wart in the codebase?
Are there various changes that people want to make to borgs but people keep going "shit we ...

I kind of wish quirks all had positives but everybody got three free ones or something, kind of a character customization thing.

I challenge anyone arguing against protected heads of staff to explain to me why security should be protected without using an argument that could also be applied to heads of staff.

Security's job is to hunt antags. CMO, CE, RD, and HoP's job isn't to hunt antags. Security is antag-proofed ...

Right, so. You're clearly not a complete moron. Your attempts to balance the economy are well thought out, which should be obvious to anybody who took the time to read your post from top to bottom.

Economies are interesting, but generally, we don't choose to have them. They manifest ...

CDranzer

I'm still not sure what the purpose of economy is meant to be. I mean that in the most literal sense. It feels like somebody just woke up one day and was like "Hey, economies are cool! Let's do us an economy" and that was the end of the idea, completely oblivious to the fact that economies are made ...

Can somebody remind me why economy exists

it creates scarcity

The only thing I've really noticed is that fire alarms are more temperamental. Also, one time there was a plasma fire blazing two inches in front of my face and I didn't seem to suffer any negative consequences whatsoever until it had been burning for several minutes, so that was nice, if a little ...

I actually quite like the linear layout and I'm impressed by the actual technological achievement of a moving vehicle, but I fear once the novelty wears off it'll just be kind of awkward to navigate, and I anticipate the tram itself being an endless source of bugs that will eventually kill the map

It'll probably go through a few update cycles because that's how these things always go, but you are correct in recognizing that this is ostensibly a nerf. My main issue is a practical one - chems start reacting immediately, which means if you want good chems you have to either practice speedrun ...

All quirks should be neutral and have pros to balance out their cons

That's to say nothing of asking for the shuttle to be called for an OOC consideration ("I don't like donut").
My character canonically holds a distaste for D.O.N.U.T. Class Nanotresen Station Hull Models. He regards them as poorly designed and assembled, and suspects that the only reason that they ...

CDranzer

Maybe the scope of this thread is too small - I'm getting the impression that "Remove Box" is just the front face of a far bigger problem, namely "How should we handle multiple maps going forward". I wonder if discussion would have been this heated if the PR had been "Remove Donut".

CDranzer

Actually on that note, hang on, isn't the map rotation technically a question of policy? Why would you be getting shit for that?

CDranzer

If only there was a word that meant whatever hyperbole means

CDranzer

In a cruel twist of fate I agree with oranges on this
Nobody wants to play box
Nobody wants to fix box
Nobody wants to remove box
So what the fuck is the alternative, leave it to rot in the codebase?
If it were up to me it'd just be Meta and Delta on perpetual rotation because they're the two best ...

To clarify my original post - When I said "whitelist", what I should have said is "A separate list of job priorities for a given antag role".
When I talk about a blacklist, I mean having it operate on top of the existing job priority system - so while you could technically make all your antag jobs ...

CDranzer

The only thing I find objectionable about this is that Donut wasn't put on the chopping block first
Box is old and clunky and buggy and has design issues
It has a special place in all our hearts because it used to be The Station, but Meta and Delta are just objectively better at this point

Was this based on a specific case? Like Cobby did you get redcode randomed while running around with traitor gear? And are you absolutely sure it was random and not that you did something mildly suspicious?
No but nice try. This was based on a discord conversation but as people have described ...

Hot take: Make the view window widescreen, but use the extra space for UI elements instead of view distance

CDranzer

I'm of two minds
One, this is such a dumb change because all it does is it makes something that was essentially never used illegal
Two, this change is so inconsequential you might as well implement it because the thing it makes illegal was essentially never used
Was this based on a specific case ...

CDranzer

I don't think this is a policy problem, I think this is a Vekter problem.
Also, Donut is a terrible map that shouldn't even be on the rotation.

Is there any changes to the Library that could encourage roleplaying. Besides the meme book stocking mech.

So I have a problem, and I'm open to suggestions.

I like rolling for antag. I'm not obsessive, but I enjoy the experience when my number comes up. Lately I've been playing a lot of security. This presents an interesting opportunity - Queue up for Security, and maybe you'll roll antag and get a job ...

Filled out the survey. First experiences were good, spam isn't much of an issue, and when it is, it's no more of an issue than it already was.

I have concerns about visual clutter but honestly we need this and have needed this for years.

The justification for the PR is baffling. If you feel the Emag is too overpowered and you want to nerf it, okay, but the justifications seem arbitrary as hell. What the fuck does 6 TC Tax mean? That only makes sense if you consider its functionality vital, and if you consider its functionality vital ...

It doesn't need to be removed because after playing security semi-regularly I can assure you that random searches simply do not happen; Not even on Manuel where the standards for behavior are higher.

I dunno, I think there's some truth to what SF is saying. I think it's part of that entire general theme of not all jobs in SS13 having a real place or purpose. Botany is essentially one half of the food supply, but that was always incredibly secondary in practice. In my own designs I've often ...

Yes, it does. Harassment requires a target. If there is no target, it is not harassment. It may be provocative, it may be offensive, it may be hurtful, but it is not harassment.
