Add a random (50%) chance for Tajarans to catch fire every 3 seconds.

Metabaiting is fun. The librarian's computer can print tomes and a suit cycler can make any voidsuit resemble that of a nuke op. Sadly you can't make crayon runes that resemble actual runes anymore.

If people actually do this then that's dumb. I see visitor either as an RP tool, or as the IC equivalent of an observer. The most 'authority' any visitor has is bitching at Command when you're in danger from something or another because it'd be bad press if a civilian got fucked up on NT property and noone helped them. Well obviously Kirk would be an Admiral if he was just a visitor and would take control for something or another, or the plotline would involve the one who's taken over fucking up and everyone would instate Kirk as Captain for the immediate emergency situation. Kirk isn't the best example for this kind of thing if you've seen the first Star Trek movie, or pretty much any Star Trek movie with Kirk for that matter.

This would be very, very nice.

When is the last time you chopped a tree or cut out a bush with a drill?

Phoron isn't a scientific name. Daily reminder that the element (Plasma/"Phoron") lacks any proper scientific name. Because kekboot is a memer.

Plant-B-Gone Goats (They already eat space vines like a lawnmower when dragged over them) Various hydroponics tools (Hatchet comes to mind) Fire (And by extension welders) Energy Swords (maybe) Fire Axes (maybe) Strong Acids (iffy maybe) Lasers

Make it so Plant B Gone, Fire, and Goats remove it with ease. That would about fix up any abuse issues whilst still making it require a bit of effort to get your hands on the right tool.

This system would certainly make those occurrences of people meeting and marrying within 2 shifts slightly less retarded. But overall I do enjoy a more slow-paced, realistic progression of time. It's more interesting to watch the people who very slowly progress their characters instead of the lads who rush through it all within a few days.

If they're smart, this won't play to their meta sense at all. It shows the sprites of the specific radio used by the name, including bounced/headsets/synth headsets/comms/etc.

The way I got around people getting suspicious was just being gone and unnoticed for so long that they would assume I was dead... Or fake a death by spacing/murder/etc. Speaking of faking, either with a good bit of cleverness or the help of another traitor to play 'witness', you can fake having been assaulted/parapenned by a third party to frame them. It relies on getting the other party to hold the item in question, say for signing a piece of paper, or taking something they had, then injuring yourself badly with it (Or in the case of the parapen injecting yourself). This is MUCH easier with a second traitor's help, because it means you have a 'witness'. Faking a death is much more difficult and it relies on being able to mimic the text style of paincrit so people are convinced, ICly and OOCly, that you're dying from whatever you say over the radio. Your 'death' has to be something that makes you difficult to find. So pretend to get spaced or 'die' on the asteroid, or if you somehow gain access to a humonkey (I don't know how you'll do this without genetics) you can sufficiently burn up and make the corpse unidentifiable. If you're a Detective, this is all much easier. As a Detective I've even faked being kidnapped and set up a faux crime scene in a maintenance closet that I tied myself up in. Your ability to fuck with medical and security records combined with your gloves means that you can generally frame people easily enough assuming noone is smart enough to read the back of the perp's ID card to see what their prints/DNA/etc actually are. Finally, there's utility in faking your death if you just happen to want some peace and quiet as a non-traitor. Don't do it too much.

I certainly hope you took into account armour with that so we don't have HoS's and Captains soloing nuke op and raider teams.

I've managed 2-3 hostages once as a traitor. It's a matter of having a weapon that will kill them almost instantly if they try to disobey you, so they have an incentive to do what you say. Unfortunately at that time it was Security/ERT disobeying me, so I had to shoot both hostages and replace them with wounded ERT. This wasn't very useful in the end because I'd actually captured or executed most anyone who I could make demands from considering the Captain was among the first of my hostages and he wasn't playing along... Though his brutal death did make the two others play along. In short, you can manage a handful of hostages on your own but it just gets progressively more difficult. Two maximum is recommended, and they need to know that they will die very horribly if they resist. Threat of death is your greatest tool to maintaining order.

I've never seen a more adequate description in my life.

No. People are not fat fucks. They don't need to eat every 30-60 minutes. I'm fully against anything that will make the hunger system even more annoying, and the only change I could suggest to help the situation without it being immediately annoying would be the following. Bolded = Important Remove the nutriment limit, remove the slowdown from hunger, keep the replenishment of blood from nutriment and loss of nutriment from vomiting, tie your base regeneration to nutriment. Make it more of a light health-based fluff chemical, instead of "Oh for fuck's sake I'll be at a literal snail's pace because I didn't eat for 2 hours". If you don't instantly fill off 2 slices of pizza anymore then perhaps the chef will see visitation. No matter what anyone says, the Chef will always be a fluff role. You have to accept it will be less popular than the bar, just like the librarian and chaplain accepted long ago. Forcing annoying code changes will not do a damned thing. I will eat sugar pills if I don't want to visit the chef. People do not eat every 2 hours unless they want to end up overweight or they're constantly fucking exercising at a gym. Edit; To clarify, I understand the pain of chefs. I've played chef on and off for the past 5 years, it was my favourite role at some points, but no matter what it would always have periods of noone visiting you. It's simply a matter of people being busy, and making nutriment annoying won't change that, it will just piss people off immensely. The chef's main customers will always be bored assistants and other assorted people who have nothing to do and happen to pass by the diner. You want the chef to get more visitation? Merge the bar and kitchen counter, go the classic goon mapping route. People can have food and drink together.

Expect people never to give you what you want, unless the hostage themself can provide it. My advice in general for doing well as a traitor, pretty simple. 1: Be polite. 2: Be efficient. 3: Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

Tunngle requires restarts to change even the tiniest thing and it feels like some kind of janky asian/russian adware program but atleast it works well enough and doesn't spam you with anything particularly obtrusive... It has a very obtuse design though. For some reason all of these LAN-simulating programs tend to be god awful.

If we get the old version back, as well as more room or atleast more interesting areas to mess with beyond the never-manned Arstotzkan checkpoint, pre-filled bar, and hospital, then I could see this idea being quite dandy. But as long as the area is dull then it might not be enough to hold the attention of a good majority of the crowd. I can see 2 minutes still being okay even with the boring areas, fix that dull lifeless factor though and you can easily extend it up to 5 minutes.

Oh God please no. They truly don't need to be able to solo the entire station with no effort. What juggernauts/constructs need is a way to be rejuvenated/replaced after death, perhaps leaving their filled soulstone on the ground upon death so they can be brought back to refill a new shell made by an artificer. Allowing them to get back into the fight is much superior to having them able to easily take everyone else out of the fight.

I like the idea. Make some of the wimpy modules like the basic HUDs/Mesons/NV dirt cheap, and scale it to make high-end equipment like the RCD, Plasma Cutter, and Energy Gun rather high cost and in the case of the RCD potentially requiring exotic materials. Perhaps they could also do non-spaceworthy 'exoskeleton' type suits that accept these mounts, for Engineers/Security/what have you or more easily accessible antag-fun. It could also have marginally better stats than the low-level spaceworthy suits, and if one wishes to maintain the current balance of IEVA Accessibility by limiting suits, have only the bare bones exoskeletons available until research levels allow and make the spessworthy suits require marginally exotic materials like plastic or plasteel.

I like the idea (Except for one part which I'll detail below). People will focus moreso on keeping themselves alive at all costs, and behaving themselves. I disagree with this though on the basis of doing any forced background changes without the explicit permission of the players who own the characters (And by extension, any of their relatives and non-station associates assuming it isn't one of the multi-player families where they loan out characters [in which case it would have to require explicit permission from all directly affected, or the manager of the family's background lore] ) is an absolute fucking scumbag move.

The furry community loves to go for the whole 'animal-like behaviour' shit. It's the most cringeworthy thing you can possibly witness. It doesn't at all make them alien to make them more like animals. My entire beef with this suggestion is that it's being arbitrarily limited for the sake of 'being alien', when it's not at all impossible for humans to bite as well, and to cause quite a bit of nasty damage and pain. Perhaps skrell may have issues biting /hard/ due to their anatomy, and IPCs certainly couldn't bite at all, atleast not with the current TV-head limitations, and the plants seem to lack mouths, though I'd imagine Vox have the nastiest bite of all. But overall these limitations just strike me as snowflake nonsense for the sake of 'being different', when it's completely unrealistic to have said limitations since most all of our species do have functioning mouths, and would be able to bite someone well to at the very least cause some manner of pain (Skrell - Even hardened gums or whatever they have nowadays would leave a nasty mark and cause a lot of pressure) to moderate bleeding and damage (Humans, Custom-built/high-end Shells, Tajarans - Considering how they're built, I don't see Tajarans having enough pressure in their bite to cause the massive 'hand-losing' damage you'd expect, they're not lions or tigers) and to heavy trauma/nerve damage (Unathi, Vox, Vaurca - Big builds and gator bites, horrifically sharp beaks, and massive cyborg-ant strength and mandibles) Not taking the bait, not taking the bait. Biting prosthetic (Or well-armoured, in the case of hard/voidsuits, vaurca plating, tac armour, or particularly hardy riot gear) limbs would cause massive pain and potentially cracked teeth for the biter (Aside from Vaurca), whilst having miniscule effect on the limbs. Reflex biting is a b-a-d idea, and locking or fucking up your mouth on someone's armoured/metal limb leaves you open for retaliation. Steel > Bone

At 179 years it's still rather likely to taste like ass, but, atleast it won't kill someone like the acid you'd be drinking from a bottle from 2016. Much more reasonable. I'm still calling bullshit on any beer being remotely close to something someone would drink even at 179 years, though, that would just be foul.

Frosting is a great idea, although couldn't this just be an altered/reskinned version of the hand labeler, code-wise? Or would it need to be a variant that adds a line to the description or the like. Also if I see anyone putting fondant on pastries or cakes I'm throwing them in the trash where all fondant belongs.

Cold spaghetti and pizza should be more filling, as it's the naturally superior state of each food. Though this would make the chef even more boring, as they usually tend to make food to pass time, instead they'd be relegated to doing absolutely nothing 95% of the time whilst they wait for the 2-3 people who go to eat food to come along an hour into the round. They would have less to do than the average MD/Roboticist on an extended round. One way to add this temperature deal whilst not nerfing the chefs who pre-make their food, is to simply have it so they can reheat it in the microwave. Bonus points if you can use a fridge to cool foods down, as well, because cold spaghetti is objectively superior.
