Bumping.

Bump. I don't actually think anyone uses the current ones. Other than the black one, I mean.

Can someone who isn't me make better ones.

That makes sense, imo. That or just change out air-based packs for 'energy' based packs with a flat rate of drain when turned on.

If the miner is EVA, I don't see how what I'm talking about affects them? The title is Jetpacks for EVA only. It doesn't make sense that you can hover with an air-based jetpack inside the station, without it constantly giving off propulsion, which- given the tank size, would probably drain it in a matter of minutes, or less. EVA, you only use up air when you move, because it's giving out a burst of air in whatever direction, because you are freely floating. Inside, you're being pulled down. So you can't really just save up air when you're using it inside, because unlike being EVA, you're needing to use air constantly to remain floating.

The jetpacks we have are for maneuvering EVA. It doesn't make sense for them to be working inside the station. If anything they'd just tip your over, or push you forward a bit. Kinda like hardsuit leg jumping.

At the instruction of Arrow768, Bauser is posting this complaint via proxy. BYOND Key: Bauser Staff BYOND Key: Alberyk Game ID: N/A (Unrelated to activity in the server) Reason for complaint: Alberyk applied a permanent server ban to my account ( shown here: https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/13559-ban-request-bauser/ ) for reasons unrelated to the server and without sufficiently investigating my supposed wrongdoing. My goal in lodging this complaint is to overturn the server ban on the grounds that it is illegitimate. Evidence/logs/etc: My claim that the ban is unfounded is two-pronged. On one hand, I find the ban request to be personally motivated rather than based on the rules or server values. On the other hand, I find the ban itself to be insubstantial rather than based on evidence. 1) Geeves made that ban request against me a few weeks after he similarly requested a ban of BurgerBB, both with the stated goal of "reducing server toxicity." In other words, he is using these ban requests as a way to shape the character of the server - based on his personal idea of what "toxicity" is and who is guilty of it. His principal claim in his ban request against me is that I've "been being a dick to people quite often lately". His timeframe for this is "on-going for a few days... he believes." However, this is where we see the true nature of these requests begin to shine through: Instead of being able to show this pattern of cruelty he accuses me of, he "apologizes for the very minor amount of evidence" he gathered. Instead of substantiating his claim of worsening behavior, he apologized for not substantiating it. His own words put the actual goal of these requests on full display: he "firmly believes that toxic individuals such as this should be cut from the server ASAP." As for what makes an individual toxic...? If evidence is not present, we must conclude that it is a personal opinion. And since Geeves has banned me from a Discord before over personal disagreements rather than rules ( https://i.imgur.com/xsJSQ1C.png ), it would be in line with his historical behavior towards me if he was fabricating a supposed pattern of toxicity in order to maintain his idea of me as a toxic person and get me removed. Finally, the evidence he provides of this is a Discord screenshot of a highly personal and singular exchange between myself and another user whose rule-breaking behavior had been negatively impacting me recently. It speaks to no pattern of "being more of a dick recently," as anyone who has seen me in-game every day for months would attest. I have been acutely aware of and moderating my behavior effectively, in line with past feedback that I needed to calm down. Therefore I conclude that the ban request was made with false pretenses in order to carry out a misguided crusade against an idea of toxicity, rather than to actually uphold the server rules or make a positive change in the community. Anyone who has seen and spoken to me in-game should know things have been perfectly fine. The reason he didn't find evidence of my toxicity is because it's largely nonexistent now. 2) If lodging a complaint against Geeves for instigating this crusade - based on his need to get rid of certain individuals he personally associates with toxicity, rather than actually addressing toxic problems or rule violations - would get the ban overturned, I would have made this complaint about him instead. But it wouldn't, so I am forced to point a finger at the admin who silently obliged his request, literally without question. Whereas BurgerBB got an extensive trial ( https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/13305-ban-request-burgerbb/ ) concluding that a Discord problem is a Discord problem, I was quietly permabanned from the server, less than an hour after the request was submitted. Alberyk did not ask me one question. It has been a long while since I have even struggled with the behavior that some people still ascribe to me, as being unable to control myself. This event is not an example of that, nor is it an example of harassment. I didn't say anything bad about him, I wasn't going to hound him or spam him with that message. Instead, I just said how I felt so that I could get closure and move on. If Alberyk had done any amount of digging, he would have found that this was a purely cold-blooded and reasonable conclusion, however bitter. The user I was speaking to was Sharkatk, the player of Skazurah Kas. I thought he was a very good friend, we often were in-game together, he bought me Cadence Of Hyrule for Christmas, etc.. But as soon as I pointed out how his rule-breaking behavior was having a negative impact on my experience, he called me toxic, compared me to "all the abusive people in his life," and cut ties with me. In fact, despite how brutal these claims were, my reactions were very gentle and trying to refocus: https://i.imgur.com/xy12VSI.png https://i.imgur.com/xYxdNkg.png What I did was explain how his character always chasing after death (constantly going to fight carp as a miner and getting maimed and killed, even in canon rounds) was forcing me into a very narrow and painful gameplay loop. He had been consistently breaking the believability rules, his whitelist was threatened for similar reasons previously, but I didn't bring it to anyone's attention because I was hoping he could grow out of it instead of just getting punished and further hurt. So when he told me he was going to cut ties and block me out, I was devastated. I told him how I felt so I could move on- not saying anything about him, not an example of harrassment, and certainly not one related to our activity on the server. In speaking with Alberyk, it became apparent that he carried out this ban request with such swiftness because he innately agrees with Geeves' assessment of me as a toxic thing needing to be removed, regardless of reality. He's still trying to make me pay for something I did wrong a long time ago ( https://i.imgur.com/xLQSKOa.png ). What they put on trial is not me or my behavior, but rather their idea of me - Something I cannot change for them, even if it was my responsibility to do so (and it isn't). In total: the ban request against me was made in order to carry out a personal vendetta, the ban request made a false claim about a pattern of my behavior, the ban request failed to substantiate that claim, the supposed offense was not related to the server, the supposed offense was not investigated properly, the supposed offense was not an offense, the ban itself was personally motivated, and I have been carrying out model behavior for a quite a while. Any one of these things should be grounds to give everyone serious pause about the legitimacy of the judicial process I got here. But with all of them together, there's no doubt that a ban from the server was not appropriate for this situation. Additional remarks: Aurora means the world to me. I have been in there every single day, doing right by people, and that's not by accident. It represents a great effort I exert because of how much I value the community and the people who comprise it. I just want to play the game, but I'm being painted into a corner.

I do a lot of arrests, and a lot of them over smaller things like "hooliganism" or misuse of comms. It's annoying because of the reasons mentioned so far. Rocking the boat is typically bad for your character, which makes playing Sec harder. I specifically didn't act on miscomms during the event because it was an event and people really don't wanna sit in processing for trying to get the ball rolling. Even so, if it weren't an event. I'd still keep away from actually charging the person. Typically saying, "Quiet over comms.", works well enough. If not, you need to make sure you have grounds for the charge, and then carry it out in person so you don't come off badly by saying "You're under arrest." over comms- unless you're trying to wrap the person up in an additional resisting arrest charge, by allowing them the choice of never coming to Sec like you asked. Overall, the system works fine. But Sec doesn't like being the bad guy, so we don't like to process everyone. Those of us who know how to use the processor, that is.

Shouldn't we want caliber-based damage, not weapon-based damage?

Bump.

Bump. Remove the blue flashlights. Make all of them, either heavy duty or maglight.

Need someone for these changes.

I'm just gonna add ballistic goggles as their own eyewear. That seems more fun.

So basically, how this system works is. The vests are the base for the modular system. They come in a variety of colours for different groups. So on the first tile, the top left is the Sec standard vest. The top right, the Mercenary. You add on the pouches you want. Small, Large. Whatever else. More contributions to how this'll work would be good.

There are no large white variants, and the standard gunmetal grey vest would not fit on the tile. But you've seen it already.

I don't agree and do not recognize this as something worth changing. I specifically designed it to have a gap to better show the belt as a separate item to the vest, as well as a means of verify visually when someone is or isn't wearing a belt. Lowering the vest any further has overlap between the belt and vest. Overlap that shouldn't be there, given this vest, and this belt are designed to work in tandem.

This is what the black one looks like with the new black jumpsuit, and the jackboots and the black leather gloves.

I don't see how that's an improvement.

Literally the same as this.

Processing works well enough. It's sorta annoying, but what the hell. It's not suppose to be fun to have to write up why you arrested someone, and input all the charges against them. We have a nice enough system for it.

The sprites for toggled lights are a soft blue hue. The suit's actual lights aren't. Perhaps it should be blue.
