also, the departments have an account number. could do it like unsecured accounts where you enter in the number and logs the individual doing the transaction, what it was for, and prints a receipt so the HOS, for example, can look up that Urist McBaldsec ordered an experimental weapons crate and a crate of party hats on sec budget so he can ask whats up

i like shipments being tied to credits make cargo more of a commissary and would remove the 'no we're not going to spend points on hats' because you're spending your own credits on them, not the cargo point total.

How many character slots do we have now? 20? Either way, i don't THINK it would be too difficult to add a flag under character options in setup to 'unlock character name' with an approved whitelist thing, maybe even have naming unlocked for IPCs/ synthetics as default? either way I love the idea

have some give and take like a built-in welder arm that can rupture if targeted by an attack, or built in 'magboots' for legs that reduce your speed by a bit (although, gravity loss isn't as common since we moved to exodus map and its an event rather than something that can happen with power loss). I think at its core its a good idea, but the suggestion as it stands is basically 'i want to powergame with all these not-quite weapons as a normal crewmember'

I think a year ago I suggested a sort of capacitor shielding for prosthetics to be able to 'absorb' one emp shot before needing to be recharged (kind of like a prosthetic lightning rod) but I was told that having prosthetics is a choice and if i dont want my arm blown off from an emp to not have a prosthetic arm. now, the server was different then than it is now, and I'd like to rehash my capacitor idea. It'd let emp/ ion be the kill-all it should be, but also lets players protect themselves and think rationally so its not just OHKO. edit - capacitor is just a 'working' term for an aspect of a prosthetic which would syphon the effects of an emp and protect the delicate electronics

please let me force feed an ipc and cause them to overload

100% This please. Would spice up interaction and give ATLAS characters a common base to RP together off. on this line, I would be totally OK with the ATLAS poster (my approved and implemented custom item) being put in the loadouts as well.

Also, a whiffle shield takes like 400 metal sheets, and thats only for 'critical' areas. The old map never had a full shield anyway, just a partial shield around command to block the glass. Its good for isolated locations, tossing up a shield around xenobio, virology, or medical, but fully encapsulating the station isn't worth the time or resources.

Engineering

agreed remove the suit refitter too

xenobio HAS a failsafe its called the lockdown RDs just need to be willing to kill scientists who screw up and release slimes

i like the scuttle charge explanation imo

give human males *qwag and keep it for tarjs

as an engineer i hate drones but that's entirely because drones (and borgs) totally negate any possible rp between engineers when setting up repairs. By the time you have a meeting and divvy out roles, the drones have fully repaired everything

private business negotiates with terrorists all the time

sprite suggestion: black engineering with orange stripes. Apollo had it back when Aurora split and its the only part of the server that I miss

or print, install, and then shove the borg into a recharger

bump for posterity

We need cigar case back!

does look pretty cool

Now this i like. I've thought about it, but not sure how to make it happen, ill need to dedicate some research to it I have heard that some code have it. I just want something like a flashlight will illuminate 1 tile behind you and the sides, then 3 or 4 out. Mining lanterns will do what they always do. idk how it'd work when a flashlight is on the ground though, as we have no way to point them in different directions unless they're given rotation

i'd rather we start with directional lighting for flashlights first tbh.

i dig it smart antags put long timers or remote detonators on their bombs and hide them sufficiently so they'll be nowhere near the blast, unless they're doing a breach entry

Given that we're assigning opinions of other characters per every character that's put down, IC opinion. (Also given that 'family' 'crush' 'Committed relationship' and pretty much everything else doesn't work from an OOC perspective.) yeah thats how i was doing it but then i saw a bunch of posts referencing ooc stuff like 'plays good ai' (just the one that popped in my head) and i was like hmm.

where is the 'dislikes you because you are a cat and im a human supremacist' option? so like, should I answer this ic or ooc opinions because they're very different tbh
