Yeah I was the AI and I was like "Security a mouse has destroyed all your boxes in armory" Then command had mice KOS, was a nice example. But yeah avoid doing that, it is more annoying than anything. Do not dread on your actions too much however, I will give the incident around a week at most then everyone will forget it.

Either way, I just had a round where a mouse destroyed EVERY (except lockbox) box in armory, leading to a station-wide determined pest extermination that even IA Agents got involved. There needs to be a fix.

[mention]LordFowl[/mention] We know where it is, like Prate said, it is a QoL thing.

Yes of course but there are MANY times when the AI forgets to, as it is focused on other tasks.

Every round the intercom west of the Ai core has it's microphone on, and something like this usually happens McMalf: :b Ok stay low for now then we will kill all the organics message broadcasted over common channel thanks to intercom Normie Von Norm: I think the AI is bad crew spams request to state laws Overall there is no reason to have the mic on, as if it is needed it can be easily turned on, and having it on by default just causes miscoms that can ruin a malf ai game. I see no downside to this being implemented, and AI players will rejoice when their malf games are no longer ruined when they mess up the ,b.

Yeah I remember one round I was B.O.B and someone used a voicechanger to pretend that I was rogue, entire plot undermined by people saying "It is being said by a headset not a chip it's fake!" Overall yeah +1 this is needed.

B U M P This suggestion is really needed as Clerical module as it stands is in desperate need of a upgrade.

Also it is a IC crime "Exceeding official powers" Also +1 to this suggestion.

I agree with this suggestion. If they want to introduce themselves to security, they can do so by walking over the briefing or to do it over the radio. IA Agents are more of command department than anything, as their job is to ensure everyone is working and that departments are up to standard.

I once again remade my backround, I decided that the way I presented my character and reason to be a IPC was wrong or seeming incorrect, so I once again remade my character. I URGE you to once again look at my new character and give me another shot.

Isnt something with no emotion still a interesting way to RP with? IPCs are unique because they can be programmed a attitude and goals. They can be limited and emotionless, or extremely emotional. I want to play this race because I love the concept of playing a humanoid robot that wants to do it's best despite the synthetic bias and general distrust of them.

I like the idea, but how will such a idea be executed?

I believe that we should add "Command Secretary" as a job for this server, they will have a small office west of the Detectives office, and are responsible for helping the command staff as much as possible, from filling out paperwork to serving them coffee, they are tasked to help the command staff focus on other things like secretly antagging supervising their department. The job can also scheduled "appointments" for others to talk to command staff. The new job would allow for people who want to help command staff with multiple tasks without being lucky or a clerical module equipped cyborg. Overall it would be a nice addition and will allow people to have some experience in command matters if they want to try to be one themselves. MISC Information Has access to all command staff offices and the bridge Has a fax machine (can't contact Centcom) Has a small office with a employee records console and a area for people to line up NOT in chain of command Wears normal business attire Only one secretary

I am not doing this app just to have the mechanical advantage, I simply wish to be able to play the IPC species because I do not enjoy playing as my other human characters. The fact he is aggressive in his security ways does not make me a "power gamer", and I thought it would be interesting to play as a security IPC.

[mention]Exia[/mention][mention]tbear13[/mention] Thanks for the comments! I realized that my previous background was full of holes and that I should not try to make a IPC that can do everything, I have reworked S.A.M from the ground up, and I recommend you view it again and tell me what you think of it now!

BYOND Key: ben10083 Character Names: Bob Jones, Ben Smith, Carl Smith (B.O.B) Species you are applying to play: IPC - Integrated Positronic Chassis What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): N/A 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 enjoy playing as B.O.B, to the point that I rarely do any round as a organic crew member. I love the concept of a synthetic crew member that can do a variety of tasks with the only limiting factor being the roles other crew members restricted them from doing. I am interested in trying out the 3 types of IPCs I can pick, each with a different levels of intelligence and mechanical factors. Overall, I want to play the unique "species" that is a IPC. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: This species does not require any food or specific gases, only a atmosphere and charge. They are able to be repaired and revived easier compared to humans, and they are in many cases stronger. IPCs are effected by EMPs and other Ion-based weaponry, and as such will be more cautious towards people who possess such a weapon. While humans are treated as equals and have no restrictions to roles, IPCs are the target of synthetic bias and are unable to be captain and require a Synthetic Command Recommendation form. to be able to be a HoS and/or HoP. Character Name: S.A.M (Synthetic Assisting Machine) Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Necropolis Industries instructed their AI branch, ReapTec, to create a Integrated Positronic Chassis (IPC) that was to be designed to be a effective roboticist, after all, who would know how to work with machines than another machine? So ReapTec quickly went to work, and designed a IPC that was able to create and maintain synthetics. When S.A.M was complete he was bought by Hephaestus Industries and was put to work at the HRS Lemnos, as a roboticist. S.A.M was shown to be very attentive when a synthetic enters his lab, and ensured that every synthetic that left was completely fixed, and in many cases, improved. S.A.M was also programmed to help organics with repairing robotic limbs and helped people who needed a new limb. After awhile, S.A.M was bought by NanoTrasen and was then sent to work at the NSS Aurora to fill in the Roboticist position. What do you like about this character? I enjoy playing as roboticist, and I love playing as a cyborg, this practically combines two things I enjoy doing. How would you rate your role-playing ability? out of 10? 7.5 Notes: I love playing as robotic characters, and if this whitelist is accepted I can play the unique species that is IPC. EDIT: I have reworked the backround of my character...again... I really want to play this race since it has such a cool concept, yet I keep failing at making a good character, this time I think I did it well.

I see your point [mention]Haveatya[/mention] but you have to think of the enjoyment factor. Yes it is more realistic to have to recover over a period of time, but is it enjoyable to the player to be laying on a bed in a room for 30 minutes? No. Although some may enjoy the RP, others will not.

Fair enough, I see your point in not having centcom access for the robot fax, but the other places will work. Even if only a portion of these changes are implemented, it will make the Clerical module a more viable option. Clerical bots cannot even interact with bundles or take things out of filing cabinets, but the WORST is the fact they cannot rename papers

Of course, maybe have either robots unable to fax CC or have it give a warning or popup that miss use can lead to punishments

Love this suggestion, and this metal gear reference just as much.

please ensure it is done at least after 5:10 pm EST if it is done on the weekdays

You can disable the fabricators with a drone control console then destroy the console, then drones can't spawn

self bump

[mention]Pratepresidenten[/mention] minus the hard to hit, the AI and borgs can do the same thing. I said in the suggestion that unlike emagged drones hacked drones can be re-synced back into their laws or be killed via console.
