  1. such as? I don't spoonfeed the fun stuff. Look through the github and you'll soon find all you wish to know.
  2. If you want to look at upgrades, look at Gooncode's limbs and various upgrades for inspiration. Light/Standard/Sturdy/Heavy limbs, with accompanying mechanical differences in Speed vs Durability, as well as Treads. Consumable repair/recharge packs, a rebooting upgrade that uses power to get out of stuns, HUDs, shields against damage types, even a teleporter letting them go between the beacons. Customization is fun, encourage it!
  3. People overused and abused these things to Hell and back, especially /against/ antagonists, to this day I still find Chemists/MDs scarier than Security. There are also still certain chems in the code that will insta-down you if you don't particularly mind going out of your department with a shopping list. So you can still create a nasty sedative/stun mix if you know where to look.

    Modular weapons

    This is a nuke op's and warden's wet dream (As well as an antag quartermaster's). But it does sound like a coding nightmare, as well. Otherwise, love it.
  5. Pls no.
  6. If you're smart at dodging it, then any IR report they make is metagaming because they will have held no information of your activities in the first place. Git gud.
  7. Removing mechanical differences is arguable as to whether or not it's an improvement. If anything what I see as a good fix would be making it so non-humans/robots can't wear the stealth suit, perhaps limiting the availability of hardsuits as a whole to exclude non-humans/squids/robutts. But as the issue stands it seems like a suggestion that just demands a sprite request more than anything. So why not hit up a spriter?
  8. You realize if you're an antag you can completely ignore all of those things? I'm speaking purely about antags here, non-antag pet projects can be usually be done in a span of 20-30 minutes tops as well if you're a competent engineer. If paperwork stands in the way, either go to the asteroid where noone cares what you do, or if you're in Medical or the like just disappear for a few minutes until they forget about the papers. It's remarkably easy to dodge a lot of the bureaucratic bullshit if you're smart.

  10. I've been called a manipulative snake, does that count?
  11. I don't know about you but I love the taste of grass.

    Captain Alt-titles

    I would never actually want Commander, nor Commandant as titles, because as I noted neither of them truly fit the rank. Most of the 'military' titles generally don't work as well considering the setting is corporate. Though if I had to add alternatives or change titles it would be adding 'Chief of Security', 'Chief Science Officer', as well as lengthening 'Chief Engineer' to the proper 'Chief Engineering Officer' to bring the whole title/rank theme together. Whilst also renaming the HoP to something like 'Personnel Officer' or 'First Officer'.
  13. The last time I saw a station full of thralls, they were being sent on suicide runs against literally any opposition. I say suicide runs because I had to kill one Thrall, and light up the vampire proper with a few shots as Detective before they'd stop chasing me.

    Captain Alt-titles

    Literally the least sensible alt-title ever considering it's hardly a proper rank for the station! (Station being the HoS role, not the space station, though it doesn't much make sense for the space station either.) Now, if we're going by what sounds the most amazing.. Commandant.

    Headset crushing

    Being able to deny Security your headset as a group antag is something I'm completely in favour of considering how often they instinctively strip it first chance.

    Captain Alt-titles

    I remember Bay had an Administrator alt-title for Captain that supposedly got removed because dumb players would confuse them for server admins. Considering that I've seen some truly dense people in this game, I'd lean towards the Station Overseer title for just that reason.
  17. And as a nice bonus, if you set it to maximum output and let it overheat, it can function as a rather potent explosive.
  18. It functions. To use it, wrench it whilst it's on-top of a terminal beside an APC, make sure it has plasma sheets loaded, press start. Adjust output as needed.
  19. You think 30 FPS is acceptable? Console pleb.
  20. There are people who still try to be spiteful no matter how strong or weak the influence/laws on them are.
  21. Alternatively just make a small map via dream maker and host it on your computer for smaller RP sessions. It's more effort, but effort tends to pay off. I've halfway done a few tiny 'fluff' maps this way.
  22. Most people forget they exist. I believe they require a wire under them or something, but I can't sure if they're working or bugged because as I mentioned, noone remembers they exist nor do they ever get used.
  23. As much as I enjoy long rounds, I still fail to see how two hours isn't enough time to do something. If you haven't done something interesting by 2, you're not going have it done by 3 hours anyways. If people want a new round so they get a chance to hop into something fresh, that's their choice, if they want the round to last 7 hours, that's their choice. 2/3 majority sounds nice on paper but in the slower hours it would just kill rounds even moreso by the next vote. On the other hand, 51% is preferable where if it ties it will always default to staying, so a minimum vote from the majority is still required to pass.
  24. It would be end up shit anyways considering how bad DayZ is.
  25. This should honestly be how the Vampire thrall system works, IMO. More subtle influences less "YOU MY BITCH, GO LIGHT UP SECURITY IF THEY COME FOR ME".
