/tg/Station 13

See title.
I've been seeing a lot of people saying "DIS JERB IS OP NERF NOW" and "NUH-UH DIS JUB IS UP BUFF NAOW" and I'm here to settle this once and for all... with a shitty poll
Due to poll restrictions I had to merge AI and Cyborg and removed lawyer (Seriously that job is only RP)

captain can do any job so it's obviously captain

Probably sciencist, not even in a hate manner, just that it's kinda hard to balance a role that can do all the stuff science can do(which ends up being pretty much any job).

I'd say HoP.
They begin with ID console access, a fire arm, body armour and can roll for traitor/changeling antagonist and the lack of a loyalty implant leaves them convertable by gang members and cultists.

The only problem is that a HoP outside of his office is super suspicious, unless it's a conversion gamemode and they are implanted in cargo/brig.

All the most robust players just roll Assistant and graytide anyway.

Non-ironically security officer.

shaft miner for sure

Xenobio is literally the most op shit in the game you can get an army of slaves and the slaves can be on MAXSPEED SCOOTERS OR SLAVED SYNDIEBORGS

Captain because can literally get and do anything any of the other jobs can any round without anyone saying anything

Only downside is he's a target, which i mean most of the heads are too.

maybe it's just some people but cargo seem to get swat crates with ease these days, pop it in lava for a bit no sec id or ''gifted'''''''' emitter required

I suppose this strat is contingent on having a cargo team that works together and trusts each other though

security officer.

Depends.

If you want maximum results as soon as possible, then either Head of Security or Captain are your best bet. Both have good, or all, access to the station, have round start access to the armoury, meaning they are the few people who have guns, and are generally trusted by the crew to not be antagonists, they also both command a group of fellow loyal people who will generally do whatever asked to. Both can do whatever they need to do and early only no one can really stop them. If the round drags on however they both start to lose power but if you don't care to let the round go long enough, you can easily subjegate the station and shut down Sci and Cargo to prevent your power being usurped.

If we are talking about long term, then I would say Scientists have the edge. Given enough time they can produce almost anything they want. Combat Mechs? Army of Golems? Infinite self-recharging guns? Army of cyborgs? They can do it all.

For a runner up I would say Cargo. Cargo can, with cooperation internally, get some good items from cargo much quicker than Science. While not as deadly, but a round of SWAT armor with Combat Shotguns will put anyone to the test, 0 reaction gibbonite can be just as dangrous as any Toxin bomb and lord help you if someone gets some good mining loot. But in the very long term I think Sci can outmatch Cargo.

Cooperation is OP.
