DronzTheWolf

Night vision doesn't work (For me, at least) and the cold resist is pretty much useless. Claws and speed are the only real mechanical buff, and even then speed is arguable, since they take extra damage, and are especially susceptible to lasers.

So grab some rods before exploring like a sane miner? Never!

I enjoy the concept, but I'm not a developer. I'd love for crashed ships and the like to be on the asteroid, bonus points if it's Vox smuggler's stuff or malfunctioned Icarus supply pods, with anything from extra rations to ERT uniforms inside.

How can you disappear when you're already gone?

And so I drag this back from the depths of Hell, as it is still relevant. Drills are still fucked.

Ckey/BYOND Username: DronzTheWolf Position Being Applied For: Spriter Past Experiences/Knowledge: I have been spriting some things, mostly just tests, but some will be coming to the station soon. Examples of Past Work: Preferred Mode of Communication: Discord Additional Comments: I wish I was as skilled as people think I am.

I was thinking recently that there's not many good ways to hide, and that there's not too much incentive to play as Tajara other than speed and lore. I came to a conclusion: Allow Tajara to use the hide verb while resting. This can have many uses, both defensively and offensively. You can hide from an active shooter while under a table, or use it to stage an ambush in the dark. It'd be pretty simple, but unerringly powerful in a balanced way.

BYOND Key: DronzTheWolf Character name: Talon Hatfield Item name: Embroidered Coat Why is your character carrying said item to work? It's a long coat that he has sewn some identifying patches to and reveals a bit about his character. One is the Solarian flag, one is a Planetary Defence Force patch, and on the back is one of the symbols of the Martian PDF: The golden Solarian sun over a red mars. It doesn't really hurt NT to wear such personal affects, especially considering he'd not be wearing it all the time due to his position as a shaft miner. It'd be little more than just a coat, something he can use to bring up conversations.[/hr]Item function(s): A coat that has one or two pockets and works as a good conversation starter. It opens and closes. Item description: A Martian long coat, made to fend off dust storms and other unpleasantries. This one has a few patches sewn into it depicting: A Solarian flag, a Batallion number, and a large sun. Item appearance: How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? It will stipulate people to ask questions about the patches, the coat, and ultimately why Talon is here, on the station, as well as set him up to be targeted by political-leaning characters due to his more obvious ties to Sol. Additional comments: I sprited this myself when I was tired and bored, and if you have any questions about this item, go ahead and ask! I also encourage you to critique anything and everything here, you can't improve without feedback. Be it in RP or art. Addendum: It's patched as in it has identifying patches sewn on, not patched like it's ripped up. Addendum 2: Changed the name and description.

The problem is that disarm still has shove. It'd be, without whatever modifiers are involved: 1/3 disarm 1/3 autohit 1/3 shove/knockdown

The problem is that you won't just keep trying and keep trying after they've started actually hitting you. It's like trying to grab a baseball bat mid-swing at that point, you're just going to break your hands or arms.

Let's be honest, disarm spam is useful. But it's also really, really overused. Disarm spam, from a mechanical perspective, is overused and near impossible to counter. It's a miracle cure-all like pre-nerf tricord. Plus it's stupid from an RP perspective, just constantly batting at someone's weapon or trying to shove them down while they're trying to batter/kill you. It's like doing that chest shove to start a fight, in the middle of a fight. I suggest we put a delay on disarm, it doesn't have to be very long, maybe a half a second or a fourth of a second, just something to make it a bit less useful and more of a maneuver for when you already have the upper hand.

Welcome Heart and Star. I bring you back from the depths of obscurity with my +1

No Soy Boys allowed -9999 Jokes aside, though, I like the thought of some new coffees and stuff. It gives Officers more to do. +1

Bauser put it better than I on how this is a double-edged sword. I could see this being a necessary change if we had a problem of a bunch of Zhan heads, but from what I've seen in-game, there's not that many. Which leads to the point of already existing heads. What happens to them? NT just shows up like 'Sorry you're demoted for being a member of a race. Go fuck yourself, stinky cat.' or something like that, or would they be exempt from the change? If you plan on retconning their Head promotion as a whole, that'd be a whole new beast because it'd retcon entire character arcs and other already existing conflicts.

I personally think that arbitrary restrictions like this will lead to lessened roleplay. While it's true that Zhan are manual labor and said to not seek higher position, the IC impact would essentially be the same as a company like Google or Apple saying they won't let any certain race people be regional managers

Sounds almost like the handgun round is disproportionately powerful? Odd. Either way, it'd be rare. You'd have to be a lucky raider to get it, and remember to actually work the lever like with a pump shotgun.

I made this sprite of a lever-action rifle, and briefly suggested it in my new gun thread, but I want to touch on this individually. The reason I want it in-game is as a Raider weapon, and I want it to have to be hand-loaded. It'll be unique in that it will be a rifle firing a handgun-caliber round: .357 magnum. I know what you're thinking 'Dronz that'd be OP' and you might be right, but it's just a handgun round, and it's Raider, they have a hard enough time already with half the team falling down holes on the way in.

A set of Armor made and fit for Unathi, it'll fend off ballistics and melee well, but lasers will be pretty hard to stop with it. Unathi need a bit more love, and I think this is just the thing.

You can have it in any color, as long as it's black. I plan on making it color-pickable.

I made a bunch of sprites for making bow+arrow if you wanna see them I might improve on them later but-

I'm getting some Scaled Sickness because I keep wanting to expand on Unathi clothing. That being said, I've created something that would really fit. Sinta Tunic A tunic common on both Moghes and Ouerea, it's simple and easy to manufacture design makes it universally favorable. It comes in many sizes and colors.

Burger is amazing coder +1

It would be, essentially, a slow-firing laser rifle that has unlimited ammo via manual crank. One crank loading bar per bulllet. Each loading bar is 5-8 seconds to process, I'd think. At least that would be how I'd translate a few minutes of cranking into mechanics.

Pretty much, except instead of one crank restoring the whole clip(Or would it be magazine? Charge?) it just restores one shot.

I got bored and due to having nothing better to sprite, I ultimately decided to sprite the Tajaran wiki's laser weapon, the Icelancer Rifle. I took a few liberties to make it a bit unique though. Icelancer Rifle A Tajaran made rifle, it houses a crank-chargable internal battery. It only holds three shots and each shot must be cranked manually, one loading bar per crank. It fires slowly, so it has a fire controller like the Retro Laser, but a little slower, and only holds three shots. I have made all the sprites, save for a few battery depleted sprites that I'll make if the topic gathers general approval.
