OH BOY do I remember when I got this law... "Pl'as' 'nd my suff'r'ng" "Pl'as' fix us"

Just been wondering, do we even have any IPCs that are certain heads? I also want to know of any notable IPCs that are head of staff Summary: Any IPC IAA Agents around? Do we even have IPC CEs or RDs? I think I seen one RD but not sure most importantly....Have we ever had a IPC HoP? I am really curious, so if you are a head of staff that is a IPC let me know.

I had times as a miner when I would manage to fall down a hole (rip lag), be crit for 30 minutes, rescued, then fell again 5 minutes after I was healed. There is danger when you get reckless like I sometimes do. Anyways, perhaps have the main level have jack in terms of minerals but the deeper you go the more minerals, and danger, occurs. Also inst this for suggestion board?

This seems more of a regular suggestion, not a policy suggestion, can you please elaborate how this is a policy suggestion?

Thank god, AIs around the station will rejoice and cry digital tears of joy!

I say we do NOT make a Robotics Assistant job, but instead allow Lab Assistants to have robotics access, robotics can barely handle two people working there as is.

Hey fellow I just tagged Bob with a search tag so you can spot him easily in a crowd. - warden Thanks Earden, that will help us since we don’t know what Bob looks like! - officer ^ X10000 As a person who dabbles a bit as sec I can say that a search status would be a great QoL improvement, also I do not see how roleplay can be negatively effected by this. The "roleplay" is just the hassle of finding the bastard person even looks like and where we can even find them. You know, like arrest?

I can see this working for cyborgs, and POSSIBLY IPCs, but you would need to ask a lore dev like cake about if it is plausible. Could you explain in more detail HOW robotics will fix the synthetics when it comes to viruses? [mention]ElChucho[/mention]

If you scan someone who is alive you can't clone them at any time. If they are still alive or if they are unwilling to reenter their body the cloning attempt will fail for magic reasons. The suggestion fixes it while aslo adding a believable incurable PCS symptom such as total (or almost total) memory loss among other things that are written out in the initial suggestion post itself. So you want basically clones premade for people but with memory issues for reasons? I do not see why we need to make returning as a clone even easier for people, and where would medical place the inactive clones which they had no rp reason to make in the first place?

I see, well why do we need secondary clones when currently you can scan someone who is alive and have them be able to be cloned at any time? And in terms of AI, ignore that, I misunderstood the suggestion a bit.

Neat idea, although not sure how exactly the secondary clones will work and act, can you explain that more? Who controls them? And if AI what are some things they can do?

I like the idea, but I feel that the reason CCIA agents are so accepting of fake announcements is because command staff almost always tried to invalidate such announcements every time, and CCIA do not want to shut down every gimmick it sees.

This makes sense, IPC should be able to upgrade themselves in more ways than just what model they are. But for gameplay sake limit mods to stuff like a Sec/Med hud and MAYBE add something like a "Advanced Cooling Unit" which makes it take longer for IPCs to overheat when in no atmos and when running, but not much. +1

I play AI quite a it, and I found out the following things A) Research Sub-Level is hell for AI in terms of crashing, do NOT hotlink(click a char to track) or you will almost certainly crash, your only hope is to either change Z-levels manually via changing networks or the up command and to hope for best B) Broken cameras apparently crash AIs alot (never had this happen, but static areas are laggy

[mention]CakeIsOssim[/mention] 1. He will likely talk about his negative experiences and dislike towards organics to other synthetics, but he still likes organics to a degree, but would likely not talk with them when it does not relate to work. 2. Mostly just verbal abuse from the more synthetic hating of his patients and/or co-workers, but sometimes they would take his tools so he gets very protective of them. 3. What? NanoTrasen owns NSS Canis Major as well right?

Fake announcements is a stealth antag's best tool, and limiting it will just make RP potential lessen. So what that some cause the round to be crazy? It is either that or you get only security and command in on the antag rp instead of the whole crew. Also this is something for general NOT Suggestions and Ideas

Just because the engine deals with putting gas into it doesnt mean it needs to be given to atmos. Engineering's most noticeable job is getting power, and having the engine set-up task moved to a rarely used job will cause problems with people only picking the job to make SM then cryo.

As far as I know, the Delta Encryption Hack (Or whatever the heck you call it, I couldn't reach the wiki for the name for reasons on my end). Only allows the Malf AI to change the Alert Level remotely, the downside is that there is no real reason for a Malf AI to do this without making it painfully obvious that "something aint right". I propose having the hack also have the option to activate the Cyborg Combat Override, which will be immensely useful for Malf AIs that been revealed. Possible arguments and statements against them: "Combat Borgs are OP" - They can be flashed and/or ioned and/or self-destructed by a console just like any other, also under normal circumstances the other robots can steamrolled by sec so this will provide a fairer advantage. "This idea would make Malfs OP" - Once a Malf AI is revealed they usually get destroyed in at MAX 30 minutes, but if the AI is able to call a override, it can have their slaves robots rush to the rescue and cause panic for the crew, while everyone starts getting armed or fortify against the new robot menace. Conclusion: If the Malf AI is able to use a late-game hack to call a combat override, it can allow Malf AIs to be able to do more antag activities and have a actual chance of taking over the station without holding the nuke over their head. Overall, this will provide Malf AIs a chance to be more aggressive and more options of how to play, and it can be argued that this will allow more of the crew to join in the RP by defending against them or by trying to shut the robots down.

Maybe we should remove flashes, but I cannot support such a thing since without it security cyborgs are FUCKED, as the taser and baton would drain their power cell to zero in 5-6 hits. If we would remove flashes, for the love of god make sure to reduce drain for other tools on cyborg.

Yeah, I never seen those two bottom buttons actually do anything, +1

BYOND Key: Character Names: Bob Jones, Ben Smith, Carl Smith (B.O.B), Ralph Jones, Dave Smith Species you are applying to play: Integrated Positronic Chassis (IPC) What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Exempt Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question Why do you wish to play this specific race: I love playing as a synthetic, as they are unique in the sense that they can change drastically based on the model they use or the module they select. IPCs are very interesting as a species since they are made up of multiple types of models, each with their own upside and downside which makes them better at some jobs and worse at others. In my time on this server I have played alot as a cyborg named "B.O.B" and it was enjoyable RPing as a cyborg that takes things literally and in the rare occasions I became a antag it was a blast. I want to play as a IPC due to how the multiple designs IPCs have allows me to play various roles in different ways. Synthetic characters always interest me, and I love playing as a robot and RPing as one. If I am allowed to play as a IPC, I will be able to play my favorite kind of species in various jobs I used to not be able to do as a cyborg. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: This species is different compared to a human due to the fact that the species has alot of variety due to the different models you can choose. IPCs also have to deal with synthetic bias that some characters have, and it provides excellent role-playing trying to overcome the prejudice. IPCs are unable to die from toxins and suffocation damage, and cannot feel pain. IPCs however are limited by needing to recharge from time to time and can die from over-heating, as they require a atmosphere to be able to cool. This makes IPCs also need a voidsuit in most cases, and they need a suit cooling unit as well to be able to go EVA. Overall, IPCs are different compared to humans by the fact that IPCs in many cases will think differently than humans, as they are programmed to have different priorities and goals. Character Name: S.A.M (Synthetic Assisting Machine) Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals decided to make a IPC that was able to do what a normal roboticist can do, as many companies have avoided making IPCs that were programmed to do so. Utilizing the relatively untapped market of roboticist IPCs, the S.A.M unit was made. It was designed with their Zeng-Hu Mobility Frame in mind, and was programmed to be able to build and maintain synthetics and synthetic limbs. The model was given utilon values over doing it's job and helping it's patients calm and the units were soon produced. One of the S.A.M units were bought by NanoTrasen and was put to work on the NSS Canis Major with the primary task to help install and repair synthetic limbs for the many patients that arrived and to repair the other robots present. The IPC was shown to be relatively comforting and would try to keep people calm before and after the treatment. S.A.M was polite to his organic patients and co-workers, but was shown to be even more friendly to other robots present on station. S.A.M at his time as a roboticst saw many cases of his fellow synthetics and even itself as targets of synthetic hate, and the instances made S.A.M prefer synthetic company over organic company, as many organics would simply talk down to S.A.M and treat him as inferior. S.A.M was a excellent roboticist, and soon it was reassigned to the NSS Aurora as a fully fledged roboticist. What do you like about this character? It allows me to combine by joy of playing with synthetics with the fun job of roboticist, and it would be interesting playing as a synthetic roboticist. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I would say a 7/10, in times of things happening all at once I can forget elements of my character rp. Notes: I really enjoy playing as a cyborg, and I love playing as a robot in games, this will allow me to play as a race that I love the concept of and I feel that I am able to roleplay as a IPC correctly.

This is a good idea, but maybe to counter the eventual cap have more incentive for antags to wipe research, causing the servers to be MUCH more important than usual.

Makes sense, as they can already check manifest without a computer +1

I fail to see how making it easier to get removed from round or demoted causes RP, I see no reason for our regulation punishments to be changed and to remove brigging times entirely.

This suggestion makes prison useless since no one gets jailed, and by extension Warden, this is also will make people get kicked out of game alot quicker for minor infractions, -1
