Bottom post of the previous page:

any sort of shock-based stun weapon(tasers, stun batons/prods, etc), should have a very very low chance of causing a heart attack like emagged defibs. Like. less than a tenth of a percent.

Screwdrive an e-sword and put a crayon or pen in it and the color should change to correspond.

Rainbow E-sword for the clown crayon.

You can already do rainbow with a multitool, but i wish you could toggle between the other colors with one as well

okay, so with defibs you can make a back-slot item that makes a thing appear in your hands to use.

Add glue so we can for whatever legitimate purpose stick small objects like paper saying 'kick me' to people only visible facing north on the sprite and can be read by inspecting the person at close range, and stick small objects to surfaces like walls and floors until removed by hands with a small timer or using a crowbar(?) or a wirecutter (?)

Alternatively, with syndie superglue (find in maint or ask science to make some regular superglue i guess) you can stick buckets tight over people's heads to blind them and stick them to a object they are forced to drag for a little while (/or are stuck to a object indefinitely like hands free cuffs until you resist out of it, obviously if you are cuffed resist out of those first)

Make impromptu spiderman web shooter gloves by attaching super glue, wrapping paper and gloves (of your choice

) onto a table recipie and then run around shooting glue at people making them stick to the closest surface. Particulary if you shoot the legs they'll trip for a small amount of time (4 seconds or so) and if you shoot for the arms with your gloves activated it'll disable that active hand for 5 seconds also making them drop thier weapon. The short times are there so its not a superpowered but convenient weapon in 1v1.

The AEGIS suit!

It projects a 100HP forcefield bubble when activated, slowly regenerating from an internal power cell when not in combat. All projectiles and melee attacks do full damage, whereas tasers deal 20 and disablers deal half the damage. EMPs can disable the shield entirely, stunning the wearer.

Nobody knows anything is a bad idea until it leaves thier head and is said or put into action :truestory:

Talking of stories, i would totally think being able to place pictures in books and a little UI for making comprehensible books with comprehensible click based page turning rather than scrolling would really enhance librarian roles and make reading fun.

EMP should make the field malfunction so you cant turn it off or pick up or interact with anything outside yourself until the field is knocked down.

Id be behind that, but also have it give the person a chance to fall over if they run, so they must walk everywhere carefully. People passing through on helpful intent also have a chance to slip.

You just become a massive moving obstacle until i wears off at this point.

EDIT: > New idea. Wrapping paper mummies, why put people in a locker when you can put scared living and presumably screaming innocent people who are blinded by the paper and suffocating in it, dead bodies just wrapped in paper straight to Medbay or morgue with a little note via the hand labeller saying who it is and why they are currently wrapped up like this. Said people need to have no obstructive objects on like backpacks, hats or masks but belts and pockets are fine.

I feel like we get such mixed messages about the codebase. On one hand it is open source with volunteer coders, but then you hear all these stories about how an idea was rejected because "it does not fit with their vision for the project"

Clearly we need whoopee cushions.

They can be attached to chairs, stools and beds and only show up on examine, plus a right-click item to remove it from said object if standing next to it.
Buckling in, or moving on the same tile (for stools) triggers them.

They can also be filled with reagents, which they release in a 1x1 cloud upon activation.

Due to the recent controversy about cardboard boxes:

Remove them from the map and construction.
They can only be purchased by an antag, at the same price as the chameleon projector.
When deployed, the user will become invisible almost immediately after stopping movement, and the box itself will only be visible to the person imprinted with its (folded) form upon spawning.
All AI-controlled mobs, including turrets, will ignore an immobile user.

If any non-traitor mob is within view range while the box user moves, this happens, and hostile mobs will attack.

Ocelot set (A bundle box set like the pyromaniac/The Fury one I proposed earlier). Syndicate red gloves, soviet uniform, red beret, cowboy boots. Two revolvers and some ammo. Maybe have some sort of minor bonus from wearing the full set+holding a revolver in each hand, or at the very least the ability to *emote spin them.
