Not canon

I always imagined The Griffon as Rick and Morties Birdman.

"You know what this owl eats."

Give plasmamen an emergency tank of plasma instead of oxygen.

Shut up kust we're talking about super heroes

EDIT:
actually kust that's a wonderful idea.

Griffon would also be one of the choices for the Antag.

While not a minor suggestion the superhero thing has been in my head for a while. The rough idea was you start with a way to select from three main villains.
The Scientist: Has tech themed weapons and gear, such as shrink rays, killer robot mob spawner, death rays, grenades that disable gravity, stop time, or whatever, essentially he's very hard to kill at range, but his 'super suit' full of gadgets has no actual armour so he gets his face smashed in a melee as all he really would have is his fists and he's a scrawny little nerd.

The Beastmaster: Some weird fusion of Killer Croc, the Lizard and Beastmaster from He-man, he's a hulked up lizard that does hefty brute damage, can toss sharp things so hard they always impale, pry open powered airlocks and generally be a close combat nightmare, one horrible idea I had was that his basic grab start to automatically choke people because 'lel super strength', he can summon space carp, space bears, giant spiders, plant monsters, etc and can communicate telepathically with all lizards on the station.

The 'edgy': uses ballistics, has a grim reaper mask and trenchcoat, carries a spiked baseball bat, and his backpack can carry an unlimited number of guns, his 'super suit' lets him spawn in guns in hand ranging from shotguns, to stetchkins. Basically a shitty expy of the punisher.

Then we have the 'other side' as one person spawns as an antag another gets spawned as either the Owl or the Griffon. Both has the same standard abilities, their suits are like space ninja ones that come with inbuilt abilities, shurikans replaced by 'owl'erangs that do stamina damage and stun on hitting, their punches do stamina damage or tase you if they have their 'stun gloves' turned on, they can pop smoke like a spell, activating their 'cape' lets them fly around in zero gravity like a jetpack, they can 'examine' things which works like normal or like a forensic scanner depending on context and they can ventrcrawl.

The antags have an 'endgame' objective. The Scientist needs to make a brainwashing device that needs huge amounts of power (either something stupid like fifty blue space cells or a massive amount of wired power), the beastmaster needs to assemble a gas bomb that turns everyone into lizards, and the 'edgy' needs to make a nuke so he can purge the filth. They all go in different places, the beastman needs his in atmos, the scientist the solars or by the PA, and the edgy needs his in the bridge.

The Owl has to beat them up and then deliver them to a ferry to go to supermax.

Oh yeah and it needs to be placed in maint

Sleeper agent pen: think of it as a delayed gangster conversion pen for traitors. It's delivered by a sort of wrist mounted injector which doesn't have a holding sprite but can be seen if you examine the person. Before you can use it though, you need to set a code phrase for it. At first nothing really noticable happens when someone's injected with it, not even an attack message. Once the person hears the code phrase however, the implant activates, enslaving the person to the traitor.

This isn't a free pass for them to instantly go on a killing spree or make a beeline to raid the armory or release the singulo however. They're more like silicons in that their objective is to follow their master's orders. Traitor says jump, you jump. Traitor says keep your murderboner in your pants then by God you better not start busting heads with a fire extinguisher.

The traitor can also install some objectives in the implant before injecting it which the implanted person will receive upon activation, so theoretically if you wanted you could program the implant with objectives to covertly break their master out of perma, let the person go about their business, and then scream out the code phrase when you're being captured. Or for shits and giggles inject your assassination target with the objective to release the singularity and feed themselves to it for when you need the shuttle called. Or be a complete dick to your target and order them to kill as many people as possible with nothing but their bare hands while reciting WGW and to kill themselves if they're captured.

Wrong thread.

Peacekeeper harm alarms should have a stun/confuse duration proportional to the air pressure of the environment it's used in, and not work in space.

Be able to acces interface when holding an item in your hand. This would make it easier as atmos when you have the rpd in one hand and wrench in other. Is this possibel to do ?

Also be able to build grilles over hidden doors

the superhero idea is a good one, but not MINOR.

Introduce Wiggles, the Chestburster (colored red, has a bow, cannot become a full Xeno)! If Lamarr is removed from his cage and allowed to 'violate' the RD's (or anyone's) face, Wiggles will replace Lamarr in the display case on the next round. If Wiggles dies in the round, Lamarr will return in the next.

Replace Head of Personnel's HUD icon with .



Since it's meant to represent an employee, a profile picture might be better than a stick figure.

someone make a PR for this, pls

Its just a cut-out of the sprites current face veerrry scaled down/greyshirt.

To be honest, I literally don't understand what you just said.

Your security profile picture, sized down into a mugshot or substitute it with some random greyshirt to give a personnel outline.

You mean using a greyshirt assistant as HoP icon? Why?

Holographic staff.

Posibrain / MMI and a holographic pad, similar to the AI's (or maybe using the same one?)
Can't leave the sector they're assigned, basically a mini AI for the department, except they'd be able to physically interact with things/people to facilitate their job.

"Please state the nature of your medical emergency."

Sligneris wrote:You mean using a greyshirt assistant as HoP icon? Why?

Generic personnel. Also the person the HOP is going to be seeing the most of in a ironic kind of way as there is no way to avoid it (thou art forever doomed to be dealt with thine shitters)

That sounds kind of dumb. There's no way an actual character sprite belongs in a 8x8 job icon.

Why can't I pick up space rat mobs? I can pick up drones so the code seems sound, I just want to keep space rats in my pockets is that so wrong?

you know how bombs have a visible timer for ghosts? do something like that for megafauna with their HP

I would really like weights,cause stile man like on the boxing area have some weights,and that you could craft them , like 5 metal for the frame and 10 for the weight

When am I gonna get a var that silently turns people into pinatas so they spray candy out everywhere when they get dismembered or gibbed.

How about that. Except instead of blood. They spray pepsi?

New original space ninja variant "soon"

Make bolas fit on belt and some suit storages. Think it would be too big for pockets though.
Ability to add shards to bolas, to make them cause bleed upon hit/removal. Their range should be decreased for the weight? Or instead make it so you add less metal+shards, and the bola doesn't slow them down but Will cause bleeding in lieu.
A large quiver for the back slot, less storage than a backpack, but can fit large things. Good for hauling a trio of spears and a small item or something. Would be good for the harpoon gun, because then you can actually store the harpoons for fucking once for reloads.
Move Ninja OS code-stuff to an owl-variant, for a normal owl suit (so its indistinguishable maybe but robust), and for a maybe-not space worthy hardsuit, ala Batman v Superman power armor.
Edit: Make harpoons kill carp/monsters in one hit, maybe? But require gutting of the body to recover it, or an action to yank it out of the corpse.

Let PAI's function basically like an ipod, by making them able to play music for whoever is holding them.

You know what's disgusting?
Last time I checked the Chaplain has a crematorium, but no urns.
This must be remedied.

Please add E-N

There needs to be an auto-borger alternate that instead shits out the person as this when processing someone. Oh, and shoot lasers from their eyes/visor obviously.

Make e-swords, double e-swords and e-daggers capable of unbolting a door, regardless of power level. Cutting a door's bolts also cuts the AI control wire.

make cutting a door's bolts render them unable to be bolted again until they're fixed with metal rods, but still allow AI to control everything else

That in itself implies that bolts could be modified or removed, and may be part of the creation/destruction process.

Oh man that sounds cool...

You could have it so it pulls a ghost when triggered maybe? And that when its switched off it sends you back to deadland? Maybe based on PAI preferences?

Traitors can buy an implant that, when not moving, slowly bolts/electrifies doors around them. The moment they move, it fixes the affected doors. I don't know how much it'd cost or if it'd really be any good, but it does seem pretty hilarious.

With the new tablet computers we need something similair to pokemon go. what could possibly go wrong on a space station ? catching animals ?

Add pokeballs to security.

Then we could capture grey shirts and have them fight for our amusement

Why miners do not have these for mining mobs is a mystery. I would love to enslave greyshirts though, lol

Have both. The base staffs, non-upgraded means it has no memory and each time it is switched off, the entity 'dies' with no backup memory to create a continuous entity.
With this idea, pAIs could effectively be merged with tablets and hopefully other things such as this, which basically is an EMH.

Varying upgrades to the pad or tablet would enable it to turn itself on/off (whether or not you give it the memory to 'survive' and be the same thing afterward is the difference between having this be a sleep or suicide button), increased memory capacity that effects if its the same entity when turned back on next time, and with tablets as well as this pad concept, perhaps adding more hardware that enables more 'slots', letting you put more than one pAI/holo-entity into a single hub for conversational/work purposes.

-Said hub would let the pAIs converse as if in a private IRC or somesuch,
-Malicious software could be piggy-backed by assholes onto their pAI, either infecting or outright ruining the hub and its holographic workforce. Medbay holograms giving you nothing by injections of morphine in that sleeper? Time to break that pad open and see whats what!

Just to add to the whole EMH thing.

Edit: Forgot to mention that whenever 'on' in holographic mode, and interacting with its workplace or crew, its integrity goes down. A base, default unit could be say, five minutes of a holographic helper that will click off when its integrity reaches 0%, whereupon the pad recharges a new one that will take 10 minutes to reach 100% and thus allow you to summon up another EMH. Most likely, the default unit should be a soft-light construct, like the present AI holos from its pad but with the ability to speak, and interact with machinery in its view.

Jesus Christ why can't PAI's play music??????
Just give them the ability to do that for anyone within about one space or holding them
It's already something admins can do just give PAI's the ability to do it on a small scale obviously they would need to App.

To do that, you'd need to give them ability to upload stuff to the server (MIDIs, in this case, maybe OGGs), which generally is a bad idea. Everyone walking into the music radius of said pAI would freeze for a bit (depends on their connection) to download said music, which of course could be used to powergame (carry an esword, ebow and pAI, have it run music and run through the corridor). To play said files you'd need to upload them to the server, which, given that size limit is 1 mb, could be used to rapidly bloat it. That, plus the fact that having stuff locked beyond applications is both bad and not a good way of stopping shitters, makes it a pretty bad idea. Bad idea thread is THAT way

Only thing I can think of is something like the instruments, maybe a pre-packaged MIDI or something. Shit I don't know fam

ID consoles should have a record of IDs inserted into them hosted in telecomms (to stop people screwdrivering the console to clear it). Catch some greytider with all-access? Now you can find out who they got it from, and who else they gave it to.

Make weedkiller work on potted plants.

i assumed it would work like a guitar

You should be able to turn off/on Any GPS. Any Roundstart GPS is automatically off by default [these do not include signals from space/lavaland].

When off, these do not show up on the GPS list. Great for keeping the GPS list clean and being able to 'go dark' even while carrying a GPS system.

Alt click

Suggestion: Make legless people able to hold items. Just make them unable to move when they do hold something.
