I really don't know of anyone who bothers to upgrade APC batteries regardless. The only issue would be blowing up the super cells installed by the engines if this was the case. Explosions big on SMES, small (but still damaging and dangerous with a 4-5 radius) on APCs.

I before made suggestions to reduce this and it was always complained against. To be honest, I'd be perfectly fine moving the equation to an SMES blowing up (like a substation) then actual APCs. I want to see APCs reduced to stop causing hull breeches and traveling up Z levels while still fucking people up who are near them. Especially now ZAS is void on asteroid terf, which causes a lot of venting due to the explosion moving Z levels while causing big holes. I really tried to see the practical use of this and I feel like we should tackle ways to prevent people from mass breaking cameras instead of max-caps being an end all solution. (Even then, I don't see the issue with overloading SMES's and causing these same maxcap explosions for this distraction) I wouldn't be against SMES discharges fucking up, flickering station lights, creating loud noises for a minute or two. Perhaps destroying a few APCs it is connected too. Perhaps if the main SMES or engine was targeted, it would be longer to allow people ample time to fix it, discharge it, or something. It'll add a lot more distraction then some BZZZT in chat before being gibbed in the hall. Perhaps have cameras send shocks that ignore insulated gloves, like a tesla arc, or provides a minor explosion in a discharge if broken. That would push people to hack them instead. It would also make sense for a giant magnetic power storage device to discharge and create a big ass explosion instead of some little APC that provides only a few KW of power blowing up half the station. Why don't we just have ALL voice changers have the option to change this. If you want to act like an AI, you switch it. If you want to show a little sec headset, you switch it. Please. I hate being locked out of all abilities and it just promotes stealth malf. We should have something that gives borgs more modules. Like medical gets special 'restraint' tools. Stun tools. Sedatives. Cuffs are a big factor. Stuns are also cool. Perhaps give an EMP resistance option. Maybe create a little 'point' system that each borg can use, requires a reset board or ping to reset, and they can pull from a pool of things to use. Code Delta should not be mandatory. Neither should Combat Modules. Delta just makes everyone freak out and immediately start fighting the shuttle. God forbid they call a shuttle and you started the firewall breaches.

Like I said, I wasn't around before the ions came out. I posted what I saw in my perspective then saw immediately the Aut'akh dragged up to the brig. The round ID is there for any review and I will leave it at that.

This is the game ID that this incident took place. Around 3:30 -7 UTC. I will add to this complaint. This round I have observed some very unacceptable behavior from Jesse armstrong. Note, I did not witness the situation leading up to this moment, but I'm going to account what I saw. I saw Jesse Armstrong Ion rifle an unarmed robotisist without engaging in proper escalation before hand. What I was told, this was because the Aut'akh Unathi decided to fix the IPC instead of pulling outs its posibrain. I witnessed another scientist try and stop his character, and he briefly got whacked a few times with a telebaton while the Aut'akh Unathi. After watching the Aut'akh's legs burn fry from the Ions, he proceeded to beat him around 3-5 times with a telebaton while he was on the floor. He then proceeded to cuff and drag up to security with complete disregard to medical needs. The round ended with both other heads of staff voting him into a demotion.

I always found drones limited to half a second or so response times for movement You can easily out pace them. Unless I or someone else somehow figure out more speed, shooting or bashing the thing should be rather nice without just outright nerfing the fun stuff that makes them fun regardless to play around with.

I don't agree with removing them. If the drone can be whacked and the hour of work scrapped just by shooting at it. This would be a great counter.

You should be able to shoot these things and beat them to death. Yes, they can bring down antags while the scientist is sitting half way across the station with a cup of coffee. You can also stun lock people. https://gyazo.com/7fff3a0754714357788e72a737518b4b https://gyazo.com/1c4e0c1a33ef9788b267c2868d884fb0

Time to.... Emitter the AI via the conference room. EMP the AI SMES from the bridge. Bomb the armory from space. Build a cult base on the outpost run to the outpost get caught in two seconds due to that being the amount of time needed for security to run a full maintenance sweep.

It'll be a great meme to figure stuff out.

OH SHIT, Exodus, with a ton of crap probably not mapped in over the years!!!

I love Integrated Electronics and this suggestion is simple (or difficult) - Add the ability to copy designs and make multiple of them. - Add the ability to save designs on a certain character that you can create in other rounds.

oh, i remember being that skrell ninja.

I was the RD. 1. Xrim has knowledge of telescience, and they've saved the lives of miners and other individuals across the station when medical was unable to access them or find them in time. Mainly someone falls down a hole, they look into suit sensors, then save their lives by teleporting them directly to medical or having paramedics rush into science. It's actually a pretty useful thing. 2. It is NOT and OOC calculator. It is an actual IC calculator using NTSL2+ that has been controlled and distributed by IC means across characters. There isn't even anything against the rules in creating or using an OOC calculator regardless. 3. People got hurt because they didn't listen. 4. I wasn't inside science during your encounter with Xrim, I was too busy regardless dealing with security to care. 5. Sadly, Xrim had real life stuff, and I, nor you had control of that. I don't believe they rage quitted when in fact RPing themselves being a thrall because I saw them as a threat and dealt with them accordingly. Regardless, my interactions with them at least has been valid. I wasn't around during your interactions. I don't see powergaming from them and they never actively go out to hunt antags.

-1 Every species should have its own unique language. I know tajaran wise, it is impossible for them to speak sol regardless due to their mouths, It doesn't matter if they have a whitelist or not, it should just be a standard thing between everyone.

what happens if I'm on the list and I didn't, or will not say goodnight. fuck, I just said it

I am against this idea. I do not think borgs should have the ability to unlock their own covers for multiple reasons. Only authorized people are allowed to even touch them according to their laws. Only authorized people have the ability to unlock their covers and do whatever with them. This provides too much flexibility and I don't think we should allow this. If the cover needs to be desperately unlocked, there are multiple ways someone can work to gain access to. Science borgs can already unlock covers, open themselves up, etc. If there is no robotics, note it, and become a science borg for general robotics maintenance.

I will have to agree with Azande, it is a common mistake to create super doctors, super directors, etc. Only Skrell and Diona really have these but even then you have to be careful not to fall under the rule of powergaming. Regardless, Soul has mentioned they are willing to create a new CMO character with a limited knowledge set.

To be honest, this is a feedback thread based upon Soul. There is no reason to derail it into an argument between station directives because there are other platforms that this can be moved to. In regards to the screenshot, I don't see much of an issue with it. He is practically saying that if you need help, call him over. I think that's perfectly reasonable for heads of staff to do hands off until needed. Regardless, he still has my support.

I do have experience with both Philips and recently Sterben within my playtime on the server when I've played a biochemist and when I am playing Research Director and I'll be posting my feedback on this closing day that their trial is operating. Regarding Philips, they did indeed seem a bit power-gamy when situations arise, but I enjoy the thought behind the character and the personality that they provide. My only gripes was of course this power-gamy aspect with chemistry equipment but I think it was kept generally towards defense and not a full hunt. Of course, this was a while ago and Soul as a player has been improving greatly and seeking improvement massivley which is something I respect for someone wishing to gain heads of staff positions. I've certainly seen worse play from other whitelisted players who at certain times shows no improvement at all. Should this lower our standards? No, but those individuals are dealt with at a case-by-case bases and I am sure Soul would improve to become an excellent whitelisted player given the time and effort. On the bases of Sterben, My interactions with them are limited as the Research Director but I've seen them handle some great and confusing situations well in regards to a command player. Of course, Soul isn't perfect, but no one is perfect and the lungs on the table for example seems very minor and just a simple mistake in judgement that every head of staff player will commit. If this whitelist goes into a decision leaning towards a denial, I strongly urge to give Soul an extension on their trial because I feel like they have potential, and I really think they would work well as a command player. +1

After reading the application, it still seems a bit vague in regards to Tau Ceti character background. There is a lot more in regards to what is happening/has happened like the previous Sol occupation, politics, synthetic movement, etc. I wouldn't see heads of staff as the 'main players' within a round. This view may be sometimes damaging. There is nothing wrong with stepping behind the lines and being the regular average Joe who has a stagnate life. Heads of Staff are not expected to be the 'main players' of a round, they are expected to lead others and the rest of the crew through situations based upon information relayed to them. The difference between being the main player and a leader comes with involvement. Leaders gain information and motivate people to listen to them, main players are present at every interaction between a situation facing the crew. It at the end of the day depends on the persons decisions. Do they want to step back and just give security the ability to lead itself, or do they want to be around for every interaction? It isn't strictly required. If I'm making any sense Regardless, I haven't really seen you around much to provide further feedback. I never interacted with your characters, and your byond key seems new to me. That's a big factor on why people haven't been providing feedback despite advertising it.

ok!

You got +1 from me Lin is actually a really good security character and I have such good interactions with them when I am antag.

I actually have experience with some of their characters. You get my +1 today Soul, you get mine. I think they are pretty good and deserve a good whitelist.

I was probably aiming for around the early 2450's she moved to human space and sought to improve a carrier, learn the culture, etc. Yes, of course there would be face-to-face with intelligence and to keep herself, and her position within human space, she more or less doesn't actively seek the help of an AI if something is needed. If something is surely needed, she keeps distant almost like a weeping era Skrell due to only experiencing Glorsh for 7ish years. Not enough to settle a completely firm antagonistic attitude but enough to hate intelligence to its core for what it has done to society. If absolutely pressured, back into a corner by one, then she may lash out at it and verbally set down its very exsistance. This is a research director after all, and she understands at the end of the day, if she is vivid about her views, people may find her non-suitable.
