Prevent Shuttle Calling On Certain Modes

[Jzoid]

before any of you say it, because I know this community loves to be a tad bit bitchy when it comes to suggestions



With that out the way, here's the suggestion.
Prevent Shuttle Calling On Certain Modes, these modes include;
Blood Cult
Clockwork Cult
Nuclear
Revolution
Wizard
Xenomorphs


Restricting shuttle calls to the most basic game modes, or to a one hour mark, it allows us to actually have fleshed out rounds without having some salty person call the shuttle because they didn't hit that sweet antag role. Rounds will be interesting, and the only way rounds should be able to end is if the antag team gets ended. The reasons for this could range from Nanotrasen not wanting cult infiltration, to the ship being too costly to lose.


"oh but won't this cause meta game?"
well simply have it so it won't LIFT OFF from the station if it gets called and docked, this prevents meta-bait as the shuttle still gets called so you can't tell what type of game mode there is, and if you're calling shuttles without really knowing what game mode it is in the first place, the shuttle calls are really questionable.

its smart to tell the community you want your idea accepted by that theyre bitchy

Cults can be hard to 100% stamp out since all it takes is one savvy cultist cutting out a dead man's loyalty implant to slip in amongst the loyalists.

And yes it can be done, just have an empty case in your hand when you get to the implant removal step and it'll automatically put the implant in the implant case. All you need then is an implanter

somehow I knew it would be you to point that out. you or oranges was my guess.
simple solution: don't act bitchy
i am sorry for speaking what i feel, but perhaps there's merit to why I feel this way? oh wait, there is

either case, don't de-rail from the suggestion

Cult is fucking awful and if as captain I cannot call the shuttle i will probably just kill myself instead

no thanks

Pkpenguin321 is correct

As far as I can tell, this is already true for blobs, revs, clock cult, and code delta (nuke ops and malf AI). Wizard is often tasked to escape on the shuttle and while Xenomorphs don't have an explicit greentext I usually interpret their goal as to escape on the shuttle (spread).

I think making sec players, heads of staffs, and non-important roles not suiciding when they hear an announcement about xenomorphs is a better idea than making xenomorphs more hated.

EDIT: Also xenomorph has no end-game condition anyways.

Blood Cult

the only way rounds should be able to end is if the antag team gets ended.

"sorry guys, I know we stopped the cult from summoning and now most of both sides have been wiped out along with half the station, but centcom says we can't leave the station because there's one cultist hiding in lavalands or some space ruin"

edit: and nuke ops is probably an even worse idea. I've seen a number of rounds end with all-but-one nuke op dead and that one op being ridiculously cautious. Removing the time pressure from the ops team would allow for a lot of new strategies and most of them would be really obnoxious and unfun.
