Bedshaped

I like the idea where you can publicly access the soil beds but yeah hydroponics trays should be for the hydroponicist.

I don't think this is a good idea. Mostly because the current Odin is very utilitarian and not a great place for roleplay. If it were changed to feel more realistically like a port-of-transit then I'd say yes.

I'd like it if splints had more of a role. Like for minor enough breaks you could just use a splint and let it heal naturally with painkillers.

As a regular IRL wine drinker, wine goes bad after a few decades and only becomes valuable as a commodity.

1. Not sure if anyone ever suggested this but more advanced computer systems and computer connectivity similar to Goonstation and Baystation. 2. Time dialation sounds amazing I'd like to see a more permanent time structure that feeds into canon with ageing similar to Apollo.

Closed due the reported persons no longer being employed by NanoTrasen.

There's no such thing as a private frequency with a SBR. The entire range of their frequencies are routed through Telecomms, can be disabled (actually they can't be disabled I think) and can be discovered and listened into. The mechanics of Hivenet and SBR are so different that trying to draw a comparison is befuddling.

That's sounds like a really creative way of hiding your communications. Creativity shouldn't be stifled.

I don't have an opinion about station bounced radios. No, why would it be?

Global communication has been something specifically limited to bound synthetics because of it's inherent power. Cyborgs have it because they have drawbacks to the extreme plus being subservient to literally every grey jumpsuit wearing clown who rolled off the shuttle. When you start dishing it out to other races suddenly you shine a big light on the idea of giving global communications out as a feature. Since Vaurca have it, surely IPCs shouldn't have to use radios anymore when they can have thought transmitters implanted in their chassis; reasons to restrict it become less and less believable. As a lore concept, it's tenuously believable at best. If Vaurca evolved from something less technologically advanced and surely this "something" had a way of communicating with the greater hive that wasn't technology based. What happened to this mechanism? Human ancestors uses cords in their throats to vocalise noises and grunts, then evolved intellectually to the point that they could combine their vocal cords and tongues to create complex and unique words. Did somebody just come along to the Vaurca someday and present them these Hivenet implants and eureka they could now behave as a hive. Should we really be adding a copy-paste of binary talk with little notice to the community or should we be exploring new ways of communication that are less lazily implemented and actually allow for interesting things to happen?

I like it!

I still think it's a bit op and I'm not 100% happy about the lore. All I really want is a way for the AI to mute it

That sounds pretty cool. Can we get one for the rest of the crew?

I didn't realise the extent of it before I played AI today, so it's pretty much a cursory reading: Bound synthetics have to listen to it constantly and it's hyper-annoying. It gives Vaurca an incredibly overpowered advantage. It doesn't appear to make lore-sense (up to a loremaster). This part bugs (:B) me the most; what mechanisms can a bug use to have conversations with another bug an unlimited distance away? I would expect hiveminds, are more about conveying feelings or simple directives; not so much about having entire conversations about the goings on in the station.

If I were to alter it, I would base it around pheromones, kind of like how ants communicate and I would limit it's range. Maybe 2 full screens is balanced or maybe just vision range.

The ability for Vaurca to speak to each other globally as well as listen to and speak to binary. This is a terrible idea and should be removed. Does it even make lore sense?

I'd like it if Odin looked more like an airport like it is on Apollo and Polaris. Then it might be worth it. Otherwise there's not much fluff that can be done because the crescent checkpoint doesn't really lead anywhere.

I'd like to see the more basic aspects of the lore better implemented and maintained. It's great that we know what colour the insects are on Qerrbalak, but if you were to do a random server poll today on the name of the current space station; I would guess not a lot of people know the answer isn't "Aurora". Finding a way to inject the whole player-base with basic lore would be a positive step in my eyes.

Plasma is basically fire. When you strike a match; the stuff on the tip of the match is plasma. When you collapse a molecular cloud and the pressure and density around the point of collapse increases until deuterium fusion happens; that bright star thing is made of plasma. So technically speaking, until it's on fire (which according to Murphy's law should happen very quickly after it's release) you should call it phoron.

I think they're actually broken right now. From what I've noticed the lights only seem to update when they're triggered again; like opening and closing them.

I had no idea where I remembered the name "Positronic Drift" but now it's all coming back to me; Robots of Dawn. I didn't think it should affect an IPC's ability to potentially live forever, but Positronic Brains are expensive to build and contain very valuable materials; I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility for certain personalities to be seen as "undesirable" and not worth paying to have transferred into a new brain. Perhaps it could be another goal of Unity; that all IPCs are afforded the right to be provided brains in the case of positronic drift.

I would be concerned that someone looks through emergency shutters, thinks they see nothing wrong, opens them based on not enough information. I would rather see the flashing light system improved so you can have information on the direction of the warning and what type (vacuum or superhot).

+1 for all of this except Faction, because your affiliations/employers wouldn't likely end up on an identification card, especially an employee's access card for NanoTrasen. Someone was talking about adding "Papers, please" features in some form in future. ID cards could be reformed into universal identity cards which I think might be cool. They could hold everything in them; records, employment, encrypted data for airlock access. Creating records for a record-less person could be as simple as inserting a card and downloading to the computers (would make records being deleted easier to deal with).
