I don't have any feedback, this is simply a good suggestion. +1

Isn't this just cargo.

I'd say make the age a flat 18 just to avoid the creepier aspects of the community.

100% should be viable weapons that need to be wielded. 30 brute when hit on the head or bust.

No one uses the pool. Just expand the access to other roles, since only the Janitor and Engineering should be fucking with the lights anyways.

The only server I'm aware of that does it is (currently) closed source.

Just imitate the 'carry someone in your back slot' mechanic from a certain server. Kills the combat viability further by preventing you from carrying someone and wearing a backpack/satchel, as a bonus.

I'm curious to see how this goes, do share any results of test merges.

Ideally with the apolitical rename, Sec may be more or less inclined to take a neutral stance or support the Contenders.

It's a year later but from what I recall I picked the names for both being roughly apolitical and somewhat on their definitions. Intent was 'Contenders' for Revs, 'Fellows' for Loyalists. I don't have any balancing ideas for the moment as I haven't seen enough of the recent rev changes to argue for or against anything. Best I can say is that if you go with the reflavour, keep an eye on how it affects recruitment statistics and accommodate accordingly if it ends up particularly one-sided over many rounds.

Agreed with the above. Less inane shit like potted plants and sunglasses.

Someone's personal assistant doesn't change every 3 hours. I understand your intent, but for immersion's sake the liaisons/consulars should be able to select their assistant - or easier, just let them pick whoever from the crew/visitors in the good ol' RP way and add some supporting paperwork for this.

Sure why not. Also yes cigarette butts aren't going to burn you, even at their freshest you'd need to be an absolute fucking pussy to get burnt by them seeing as you're hopefully not pressing them into your skin.

You're murdering the only person capable of reliably figuring out who a murderer is. The Detective is the biggest threat to anyone attempting to be stealthy; why ruin the fun for him by killing him instead of challenging his investigative prowess? If there's a risk involved of dying, then you're dissuaded from murdering someone. The radio thing isn't a risk, most people either won't notice or they will and will never figure out what happened to him. The station's biggest non-Command target shouldn't be an easy kill.

I have no feedback until something tangible is shown.

If your cybernetic limb comes off easy as a limb in Toy Story, then it's especially poorly designed - these aren't modern prosthetics that can be yoinked off, they're cybernetics fully integrated with their owner. I do like the idea of the HUD integrations, though.

Would they be able to select a specific person for this role? Per pAIs, ghost spawners are utterly unreliable and it generally might make more sense for characters to have specific personal assistants rather than 'random joe from dsay'... To which, now that I ponder it, it'd probably be better to just have someone come on as a visitor and be your assistant/bodyguard rather than having a weird spawn system for it.

#2 or #3 would be fine. #1 can go far, far away and never be considered again - it'd make medical Aut'akh one of the most powerful sub-races in combat against pretty much anything but IPCs.

If IPCs were mentally affected by Ion Storms they'd be banned from working on the station. Some temporary physical hiccups would be fine.

I somewhat wish announcements just linked to a full form, equivalent to writing on a piece of paper. Less chat screen bloat, more freedom for writing.

I'm not a fan of objectives, harkening back to the days of being parapen+e-sworded out of the blue because RNG decided I was someone's kill target - it led to a rather unbreakable habit of IC social distancing for me. I'd sincerely hope the murder objectives go in the trash and are replaced with thematic, faction-based objectives or some such focused on espionage and corporate sabotage. As memory goes, either way, objectives never really helped 'antag quality' (on RP servers). It just gave people an excuse to play worse because 'muh greentext' and made the game overall more competitive. If competitive is the way you want, go for it, it'll generate a lot of funny threads to read.

This is going to look really awkward if Visitors remain tied to NT Assistants, as far character set-up goes.

Flash is useless. Rubbers are just ranged punches. The point of it is to make him an unappealing murder target, if it's being abused I'd say it's a player issue. Giving him a taser is also basically just asking to make the Detective trivially easy to kill.

Will we ever see the Visitor role unlocked for the contractor corps, assuming it's possible to remove the assistant sub-title?

To reply in brief; "How does this person look?" is, per my earlier statement, already covered via flavour text.
