Implying that we are no longer secret facility, and that we research also anything that also does not include plasma, it still does not answer the question as to why would the people who made robot prototypes would test them on other facilities with out being 100% sure that they will have a fail safe towards any dangers these units can bring. Firstly, the robots or any kind of syntetic is an expensive equipment, even for a prototype. If this prototype does not have any way to be saved, repaired, then might as well insert a kill switch to these units and blow them the f- up and clean it up, write a report "it was faulty, and our McBaldRoboticists couldn't repair it, so please send us another bot that may or may not get faulty again so we can blow it again, thank you." Just because a player choose to play as a Robot due to fact that it wont get another life, is not only dull, but also illogical. Sure it's his choice, but what if this person wanted to play as a robot just to have a different play style, and by that meaning he gets smacked, blown to pieces, hoping that their makers will make a brand new chasis so he can wreck justice over those who destroyed his old chasis and saves the day? And if the counter argument to that is to switch to being a an android/cyborg, is bad, admit it. Even the AI can be a robot and it would be saved because intelicard, while the poor Robot just dies like a scrap of metal and sent down to junkyard. A new thing has appeared! Intelicard! This thing.. This thing is the saviour of all heads of not getting their jobs fired when they have safely extracted a dangerous AI so it can be fixed. So why can't we use THIS on the ROBOTS so that they have a chance to live again, and then have the ability to upload the Robots "inteligence" from this intelicard into the empty chasis? There, this would fix a lot of problem rather making a small fuss into a huge debate.

I think you took it out of the context. Because according to your text, we would be a robotics facility which tests numerous robotic/syntetics on how they act, behave and their overall progress, while in reality and if we follow the main story, we are but a plasma research station. I do not wish to continue this line because it has no meaning towards the main reason. The main reason why i address this post is, why would a corporation send out a prototype robot which has not been tested fully nor can even be salvaged properly or repaired properly to the secret plasma research station. And i will raise the question again, to why have robots that cannot be repaired and which can cause serious damage to the station with out a fail safe and by fail safe i mean having it not getting destroyed and repair it so it can still function for further needs rather then having the robot functionality made 100% sure that it even if it did raised a problem, this problem can be fixed.

But this raises me a question... what is the point of a robot who cannot be salvaged nor repaired to be allowed on the station at all? A cyborg can be salvaged, an android can be salvaged, hell even an AI can be salvaged once it has been disabled, and it can still be repaired after wards when used with intelicard. Correct me if i am wrong, but why would a corporation risk its own workplace with outdated and risky equipment which can still serve a purpose after wards but make it a one use? This imo already eliminates the logic that the stations equipment is expensive, let's throw more money out of the window for old stuff, sure why not.

And this is the problem, that i come across and for the first time, makes robotics feel just.. empty and useless because they have no longer the power to either help sabotaged units and just ask AI or Commanding heads to lock down the unit until crew transfer. Of course we can keep it as it is, but if they wish not to receive any IC help from Robotics, welp, their choice am i right?

And this is the thing that irks me. There is no possible chance to help the said cyborg through any attempts if the said unit was tampered by unauthorized personel, via removing the main processor that functions them.

To some, this may be a trivial thing, but to a roboticists player like me this is an important deal. All i am asking is for the already spawned cyborg/androids you name it, have a already spawned Positronic brain, or occupied MMI device inside of it. Else when ever i open the cut the wires and it sais that said unit has no brain in it, makes me question what does it run on. As again this is a great deal for me and maybe for other roboticists.

BYOND Key:swat43 Character name:Fortune Bloise Item name:Shielded Pendant Why is your character carrying said item to work?It is her small heirloom one of her patients gave her, she helped on Mars as a thank you and asked to cherish this item. Item function(s): It is a pendant. You wear it on your neck (mouth since we do not have pendant slot). Item description:It is a small blue shield shaped pendant with two small wings to it.

please, on one event round, where the whole crew were to be sent to a dumb outpost because "all resources are spared so lets send civies why the fuck not" was a quiet the cluster f*ck and more of friendly fires. This issue right here is why i never play dangerously with laser weapons or ballistics in narrow places with a team. For example a nuke op team. There will always be a problem for me to shoot straight, because of tons of reasons. 1. Target is moving and it makes me aim sometimes somewhere else to hit him untill i realised i killed my OfficerMcClown right next to me, because the of this dumb thing. 2.The covering, gosh, this will finaly make some interesting changes as to how people will react in gunfire or fire fights at all. I hate that even sometimes you can shoot at the person while having a wall infront of you, and laugh at the poor sod who is lying over his pool of blood, of course this feature doesn't work all the time, but there are some times with such situation. Over all, i just hate risking my ammunition and then realise all of my great shots just got wasted because my enemy was one tile above me and my best guy died due to stupid situation like this, and i feel guilty over his dead body and then i cry as i hit the ground hard and go dead x_x

Looks even better, no doubt about that! For one i don't mind not having a conveyor belt, but this looks great. But please, remove those two fuel tanks! Robotics can hardly even empty one, and putting more easily explosive and flammable equipment is risky. The metal,glass and plasteel location is to far. Why not make the right exactly where the two fuel tanks. Also the request console, its just me, but i would like it to be on the small lab if possible. Seems more appropriate for its location.

I like this idea of course, and i thought of making my own suggestion. Since it is a drone, why not give it an ability to have it's power cell changed? From i bluntly know (correct me if i am wrong) drones has the standard power cell the 1K? If so, they have to recharge quiet so often, so why not give them maybe a chance to just making the players worry (those who play as drone) to much and calculate how much power they need to return back before dying off in a middle of a hallway and having assistant McKennedey picking it up on his head and pretend he's an ice queen. For some it may be a useless idea, but imo i think it should be implemented.

Hell....effing...yes... I love you, and i want to marry you, if you are a girl only... If not, i will still love you, but no homo. This is the best i have ever seen! Sank yu~~!!!! *Hysterical girl scream* If this gets implemented, then i will rate this station 100/10. Please, i want it!

Since now the main surgery thingy thang got changed, the lobotomy operation at Robotics needs a small tweak, nothing big but a mapping issue, due to that. Since now to get the persons brain out, you also require the hemostat and retractor. Please add in those on the table so robotics doesn't have to bug/break into RnD to get their tools. Also an anestetic tank if so please. We need to keep the pain Rp in line. Else cutting a guys head open with out anestetic is fairly...akward and dumb, hell even i would sh*t my pants if some does that to me IRL because that's just pure evil and mean!

Then what is the point of having MMI'd cyborgs? You see.. The MMI mech reminds me of Wolfenstein The new order game when you (SPOILERS DAMNIT) had to fight with one of your crew who got brained inside a mech.But this is getting beside the point of why i am quoting this.. Think of MMIying mechas as an experiment the Robotics can do. This is after all a science space station where there is huge (same thing every day) amount of knowledge! Maybe it is a new breakthrough for mankind to preserve the human knowledge into something bigger, or a part of a small test of synthesis. Maybe this may not be mentioned in the lore (Since i do not like reading lore a lot unless it really interests me or it is a must to know what the hell is going on, on our universe) But this little thing can be fixed no doubt about that.

The thing about mechs being brained is, you are unable to do anything to them anymore to remove the said MMI/posibrain from it. To that content it is still not finished. And for the ID swipes, i am not entirely sure about how the system works on when the mech is brained and what access it will have. But i had situations where people with lower access levels will have trouble and bust act like Big daddies, having crew being by it side so it doesn't trip on airlock it cannot open. If Robotics could make that they can access their maintnance panel and switch/choose on where this mech may or may not go, i will back away from this issue. Of course it does sound risky if given to wrong people, but Robotics is responsible of what they are doing, and if they break the rules, they get punished by it, simple. Cycling airlocks..ugh.. I really understand the fact that people want to be allowed to do such thing with the mech, but i am sure who ever has used mechs, especially to miners, that Ripley has three equipment slots. So the thing about making it itself press small buttons on the panel is near thy dumb and impossible. It's like trying to tap at the glass with a bobcat with out shattering it. So simpler conclusion is.. Why not make a huge lever for Ripley to use it's Hydrolic clamp so it can cycle the interior. As for flaps. No mech can go through flaps from what i have tested them. Even if you leave outside of the mech while it stands on top of the conveyor belt, mech will still stand on that tile. A mech can only be passed through, if it is unfinished/destroyed. Correct me if i am wrong with proof that it works, other then that, i know it is inpossible to do so. Mech vs Cyborg is a really interesting debate, yes. But here is what makes Cyborgs more better then mechs. They are more agile, do not require much maintenance, and if they are more then two, they are able to repair each other. Mechs on the other hand have the health and armour to deflect said harmful things, but they are just nothing if they are not equiped with out anything (Except durand,gygax,marauder,sentinel,phazer). Also the fact that they are unable to repair themselves, and their equipment CAN be destroyed, and last but maybe not least, Cyborgs can be immidiately shutdown/destroyed, where mech will only feel some damage, but its not a mild one to keep on waltzing forward.

The Posibrain mechs are just broken, no.. its not even finished concept by the makers of SS13. Its like they are beta testing and still trying to figure it out what do to with brained Mechs. But to the matter at hand, i can see the reason why it should be implemented, but you have to realise one thing. How big actually is the mech that you have to put such equipment on. Mech is fairly meant for heavy lifting/carrying/extermination(depends what mech..like durand for example). I know it is really annoying for mechs not be able to interface with small panels like the airlock cyclers, but that is the point! It is a bloody huge stomping mech, that is only made for single purpose, not making it pick noses for other crew members. As for the Brained Mechs.. Don't do it. You are limiting the player more then making him any better. Sure a self controlled mech sounds amazing, but a cyborg can do a lot more then the mech itself, and the mech is just useless at those fields. If the (brained) mech has the chance to atleast interface with the electronics around like the cyborg does, and has the ability to access doors (Yes, sometimes some brained mechs cannot even enter mechbay for recharge) then i may accept it. Oh.. I can only imagine an Emaged traitor mech... Hehehehe... *snort*

I am all about this idea. This will give meaning for engineering to pester RnD and make those good scientists (bombing boners) to help the station a bit more. All my +1 for these.

But there is but one question that remains unanswered... What about voting in dead hours? Clearly there will be 15-19% rough chance that everyone will all vote nuke (implying that there are 15 people online and everyone is not afk, tabbed, etc.). As for this question, i've got a an idea on how to solve this in one way. Let's make a percentage vote system based on how many players are online, for example if the server has around < or = 20 the server will use percentage system for the game mode. And once the vote ends, and the results end up being like 80% voted nyke and 20% secret, of course it will be nuke, but there will be a silly luck RnGJesus luck that it will pick secret, but on that you can blame on the RnG and not on the people, since it was just pure luck. Anyway, as for the nuke requirements.. From what i played during in nuke rounds, i enjoyed a hell of a lot of moments. From nearly getting blown up by one of own, to getting kidnapped while sipping coffee in my "safe" lab by intruders. I'd say, no. Since in most dead hours people are gone, there is a huge chance that most important roles will not be filled, and it will end up being a desert op, finding Tom in the hallway and tumbleweed by captains office as the Nuke ops laugh and have a scary expedition on a silent and dull muse- i mean Research station. But these are my two cents anyway.

And if that happens, then you ahelp it post-haste. Security officer charging at three nuclear operatives and stunning all of them with just a baton? Not a sane character (because you need to value your own existence too, guys, c'mon, your character does /not/ know that they're expendable pixels) and powergaming; against the rules. That was long time ago, and a thing under the bridge, so no need to continue that topic.

I can agree, but you know what also can end (insertantagroundhere) round fast? A stun baton of justice. If the security officer is suicidal and lucky, he will stun everyone with taking small to no damage (I experienced it and it was BS) Also to begin with, flashbangs objective is to blind and knock people out for the time, who do not have eye protection. Stingers objective is to knock people out who do not have protective gear (armor and and helmet). Technically speaking these two granades are doing the same objective only with different mechanics and usage. Maybe it is just me, thinking to at least have ways to harmlessly disable people to make them submit/siezed/cuffed. Some maybe will approve of this idea, some won't.

Jiff.... Jifff..Jiffff....JIFFFFFFFFF!!@~!@!@#! MORE JIFFFFFFFFFFFSS!!!

Okay, you see this bad boy? Yes? So this one will definately make your day BAD. So since we have flashbangs that are also bad, why not have also another set of grenades that are Non-lethal grenades filled with rubber balls that hurt A LOT when it explodes. Okay, what is the point. 1. Have another type of grenades that can take out necessary threat out of order by making him lose focus so the security team can come and zip them down fast before they regain focus and retaliate. 2. Set of grenades that can at least affect people who doesn't have protective gear (Armour, EVA, helmets, riot gear etc.) But can affect people who have civilian wears (jumpsuits with lab coats and etc.) 3. This is meant to be a grenade only for small spaces. For let's say either 4x4 or 5x5 tile huge space. And does only a small brute damage, and knock people or at least "freeze" them. This is mainly a start up of this idea. Why i mostly want Stingers is because Flashbangs can be countered easily and they are practically useless when up against geared personel , but then again stingers can also be, but stingers will have their own purpose.

Bugs eh? I hope they will have fun with this then!

-sighs tirelessly- This is in fact either really tiring me, gamegod to always explain things that i do, but i hope i wont fall down on the keyboard while i do it. Let's see..That round for me was particularly amusing yet tactical for me. Sure you wont see it nor confirm nor do should i care, since that round is under water, but to matter at hand. She had given a heavy objective (my own) and she needed to do with any means necesary to do so, in which when ever i have given my objectives, i consider them and plan them out. And first steps were emaging and hacking the AI. Winding forward the actions to the fact when Syrus was in a standalone against three death borgs and me, i had ideas running in my head on how to turn such situation around. One of it as simple and by that i mean killing the HoS, which was done, untill later on i thought of a new tactic. Since my borgs wouldn't stand any longer (but they did, also gg wp to you guys, you were the best) i could use Syrus to manipulate him on my side. It was a risk, of course. That round? Yes, she didnt loved Syrus, because she had objective and to put feelings aside. As cold hearted and b*tchy as it may sound, she did her job. Also i've got a question for you, since this is a really long complaint form. Is it due to my play style of what i do my things, or do you really have something against me that you just dont feel like telling me? Of course this question is out of character but im intrigued to know it.

Golle, that is an 'IF' situation. Sure everything can happen but what happened that time happened. Stupid form of love? People have done more dumber things in form of 'love' that you wouldn't believe and this would make it a normal situation. As for the implant? Maybe you can count on it abit of powergamey, but do not forget that Fortune also talked to Syrus when he was an HoS on extended rounds. So she has learned more or less about Syrus status and his place in NT. Anything else, gamegod?

Alright, since the post is now at it's last straws, and you do not know the reason as to why i cloned HoS, is plain simple. Fortune is Syrus's Setos girlfriend/future wife, and HoS had loyalty implant, which would have given her a bad time dealing with him, so, after Syrus was killed, she brought the dead body to outpost to repair the borgs with out interuption from the crew (melody being crazy and beating the window that time) I had to plan out my next moves on how to control the station better, and make a foothold at Robotics. Syrus was dead, and there was no use of him, untill after i and the three borgs arrived on the science lab, it was nearly deserted, and you were also killed in the process, i came up with another solution to revive HoS, and make him turn to my side, since Syrus trusts Fortune (IC reasons as to why Syrus trusts Fortune, you can ask him, or me when ever im online back on Aurora). Syrus could give Fortune abit more advantage, if he was lied to (which was succesfull) And he had no Loyalty implant either which gave me the oportunity to turn him against the crew, and help me with my untrue reasons which he would only know in the end game. Syrus was in doubts that is true, but he was also experiencing CMD, and the whole situation was a mess, and hell, even i would be in a 'what the f*ck' moment when i was awoken by some one i trust and sh*t is hitting the fan and makes situations complicated. He was my greatest threat, but for Fortune he was also his further husband. My reason is advantage and love. Anything else you want me to justify?
