This does not change whose job it belongs to. If a patient is wishing to do recovery RP, it falls to medical to facilitate it. That said, its not like Security is going to provide much RP staring at them through a camera.

AI Sat returns holy shit soul? You may want to reinforce the AI core and the plating that holds up its wires with reinforced plating, so in the event of a SM delam, the AI may have a chance of surviving the ordeal. I can't tell by looking if the spawn is set, but don't forget to slap the AI shell into cyborg spawn.

Yes, and its medical's job to monitor them. Not Security or the AI.

1. The recovery area on Deck 3 is almost never used. Patients usually just sprint out of medical. Its a RP place that is not secure or highly valued. The Medical Equipment room contains medical belts, hypo-sprays and the syringe gun. The Syringe Gun is the only notable thing worth monitoring, but it does not warrant a camera on its own. 2. The break room is a break room. It is not an important area. If the AI needs to attend a meeting, it can be held in their office near the main hallway. As for drone fabrication, yes, the console should definitely be moved. I was unaware of that functionality. 3. Research Storage is an auxiliary storage bay. Any significant items are usually stored in Xenoarch's containment rooms or inside the Labs themselves. Round start, it contains lockers and an empty table. 4. Its a closet. Its not an active work place. A normal janitor isn't expected to spend much time here. Its on the same level as all of the other locker rooms. Even then, that specific area I'm mentioning is the Deck 1 Janitor Area's backroom. Yeah, I agree with the window being weird a the bar.

1. Interrogations Monitoring is not a room that is likely to have shit go down. Technically, its covered by the interior Interrogations camera until the windows are tinted. This is to provide someone in Security one more blindspot besides the bathrooms. This one I am willing to let go though. 2. The windows can be tinted, as far as I am aware. The point of it is to allow Bartenders to stow things unnoticed. 3. Private Lounge is a public space, but one that can be tinted. No need for it to be directly monitored in the first place. Additionally, while the windows are untinted, you can see into it from the nearby Bar Cameras. 4. Command Stairwell has its own camera, Hydro Garden does not need one. 5. Medical Equipment storage isn't being monitored because it has shit to steal in it, and its not a high-risk secure area, like the Vault or EVA. Also, it generally has little to no foot traffic after the round start prep is over, making it an ideal blind spot.

Two Years ago I made a post about the incredibly pervasive camera placement on the Horizon. It was deemed null and void for two primary reasons 1. AI players need cameras to see to look at and interact with things. 2. Security (very recently) began to only have access to most Cameras on Code Blue. Mainly point 2 was used as justification to install a camera in every single departmental room on the Horizon. There are barely hide or hair of any blind spots for the AI or Security on the current camera layout. You can not stash antagonist or contraband anywhere in a department without Security finding it. And no, it is not a matter of if Security finds it, its when. Investigators routinely make it their habit to cycle through every single camera on the ship until they find what they are looking for. This makes it incredibly stressful on antagonists for no good reason. Especially since that their safe haven for camera-less space, Maintenance is filled to the brim with specialized rooms that contain cameras, sometimes even motion alarms. Below, I am listing every single space in the Horizon that should have its cameras removed for the following reasons: 1. Antagonists need breathing room from Security and the AI on Codes besides Green. If someone yelps the wrong way, Command is often willing to raise to Blue and activate ship-wide cameras. 2. I think it would be nice if Security had a reason to issue search warrants beyond needing to physically show up to shake around potted plants. The list of spaces have been chosen on the following qualities: 1. Remoteness 2. Need of AI coverage. 3. Security risk if uncovered by a camera. (Meaning if its not at risk if not covered.) The list:

Hello! Thank you for your interest and your application. Compared to most applications we get, your backstory is a little bare-bones. I'm going to ask more questions than usual to try and get a stronger feel for your grasp on Skrell Lore. You can either edit this back into the original post or just put them in a reply to this one. Both options work fine. 1. What Skrell belief or ideology does Uuqoia follow, if any? If they do not follow one of the major Skrell faiths, why? 2. How does their Quya feel about their career choice? Did their Quya have a major role in Uuqoia's decision making? 3. As a Federation citizen, does Uuqoia have any specific interest or allegiance towards one of the political parties? 4. Does Uuqoia have a favorite constellation? 5. How does Uuqoia feel about Diona and Vaurca? The two major non-skrell factions within the Federation. 6. As a Radiant Era Skrell, Uuqoia's feelings about synthetics could be a bit more open ended than older skrell. You mention that Uuqoia's upbringing to distrust synthetics is being counterbalanced by Humanity's reliance on them. Does Uuqoia believe Humanity is wise enough to avoid the mistakes of their own people? 7. What is Uuqoia's SCS? And finally, the most important question:

MRE Dispenser is a Chef replacement when we have no chef.

I think, despite the disagreements being had by both sides, the general outcry does indicate some adjustment to this policy's implementation should be considered. Personally, the clearest resolution to me that resolves most of the non-Xeno related issues is changing the wording of Recital 4 and 5 to be a bit more firm. This is just an example suggestion: 4 Bolded the parts I changed for 4. 5 Bolded the parts I changed again for 5. I think with these modifications, these changes become more in-line with the general expectations the server had when they voted to make the XO 2IC.

I don't have a strong opinion on the XO race restrictions. However, if the XO is to be the Second in Command, empower them properly. This "XO's duty is to make sure things get done but only if the Captain gives them authority out right" is a half-measure that effectively functions as hot air. If we are going so far as to axe Species for the position, the XO's should wield proper second-in-command authority and be elevated above the rest of Command (not including the Captain, obviously.)

Hello, thank you for applying. Your application is good, but I have some questions to start out. 1. How do you intend for Zilrq to interact with AI/positronics on Ship? 2. What is Zilrq favorite Qeblak Constellation? 3. What is Zilrq's favorite food?

again, the entire purpose of this suggestion is to give the Horizon the appearance in lore it can operate WITHOUT relying on any outposts/trading stations for a significant amount of time. This solution does not resolve the presented issue in the topic.

If we unlock the ability to pinpoint teleport stuff across vast distances, why is phoron important for commerce? Teleportation has only ever worked in the short-range for almost every single faction in the Spur, simply because it was invalidate too many other things if it worked otherwise.

For the Dev Focus comment, things like research overhauls and the like that you believed should be focused on do not materialize out of thin air. People suggest, discuss and devs appear and weigh in. Dev priority has been a relatively low factor in the suggestions box. This thread can sit for ages if it means it gets added eventually. The Horizon is one of the most, if not the most, advanced ships in the Spur. Despite, this the Horizon is not a Mary Sue ship. Its express purpose is exploration, and deep storage is directly in line with that purpose. As far as the Horizon being "overpowered" goes, it is an incredibly ineffective warship. The Levi offers the Horizon incredibly awesome attacking power as a deterrent to being attacked. The Horizon's wide and whale like design is about the worst shape you can have for a warship, which tracks since the Horizon is not one. The whims of the lore team are their secrets. If we had a deep space arc planned, I would not be at liberty to divulge it here. That said, the Horizon's situation can change drastically from arc to arc. The current arc should have little bearing when discussing the needs of the future one. It does not do the suggested explicit purpose. The Surface Warehouse spawns RNG gear. Deep Storage would replace the Cargo Shuttle. It is long standing policy that the state of the server should reflect the lore where possible. Between the two options and the fact even the fastest Bluespace Drives for shuttles one take actual months to travel between deep space and civilized space, I believe deep storage is the better option.
