+1 What Doxx said.

+1 I have had a few rounds with Jessie now, and I have to say that, they are pretty good at being a HoS, though sometimes you have to shout at them a little, but I understand that you can get tunnel vision'd so hard while playing HoS.

I believe one of the IDs was for Reads sol invasion event, which was b26-abPQ IIRC.

Well that's just extremely rude. And what does that have to do with any agenda? Being rude and racist in a workplace would get you fired on the damn spot, what do you think's gonna happen?

+1 I love the sound of this idea, it sounds far more realistic than cloning, and, it brings me memories of Starship Troopers.

BYOND Key: Dark1Star Game ID: Honestly any round Kaleb Rasam plays on, you just have to see an average science round with him to realise it pretty quickly Player Byond Key/Character name: Kaleb Rasam (Ckey: Sgtmind) Staff involved: I have been thinking of A-Helping, but up-until now I didn't, I recently A-Helped at the end of the round and ReadthisnamePlz asked me to make a complaint, which I am doing so now. Reason for complaint: Sheer Powergaming, Metagaming, NON BELIVEABLE CHARACTER. I have been meaning to make a complaint for a while now, but I didn't in hopes that he would improve, from LOOC tips and help, and just general experience on playing in the server. Sadly, I haven't seen an improvement. More of a decline really. Where do I start... I'll say the first time I met Kaleb ICly, as my Robotocist John Normandy. It was a bit later in the round, and we had gotten materials from mining, so I had Kaleb come to me and go "Hey, can you build me a Stealth RIG?" and I said "No, we don't have the research up." he goes away, five minutes later, "I bumped the levels up, how about now?" I said "No we can't" and in return he said "Can't, or wont?". That was my first round with him. Forward more in to the future, I was a ghost one round, appeared to be secret, no current alerts or anything, code blue I think, anyways, he asks the Robotocist at the time for a Combat RIG, in which in turn, the Robotocist builds for him and Kaleb Rasam somehow knows how to use a military grade/style RIG suit, as a Scientist. I would understand as a Robotocist, you work with RIGs all the time, but a Scientist? A bit much, AMI RIG sure, he also had a energy gun attached, and a taser, plus a bunch of other modules. Forward to a quite recent round, it was Ninja/Traitor, and we were told that Kaleb has a Hazard RIG, we walk over, aim laser rifles at him, and tell him to take off the RIG, which he did without harm, thankfully. We commendeer the suit because the station was falling apart, I put the suit on and, would you look at that? Hazard RIG and Energy Gun, I ask him, how does he know how to use a Hazard RIG? he just responds with, "Frontier Baby!" Whatever that means. Fast forward to today, ReadthisnamePlz's Event round with Sol, Science was taken over, blown up, instead he asks a member of command, to allow him in to science because he needs to get something, in which I told him no, we are evacuating under the orders of Sol, he complies, we get to the Red Dock, and then he starts to go on about how we can easily fight them with a well placed bomb he somehow ALSO knows how to build, ovbiously ICly I screamed at him for being stupid, as we were taken over by a Sol RIG Squad, six of them in fact. I told him how they are almost immune to bombs, he still pressed on how we kill their families in their sleep, etc etc. Near the end of the round he asks security for a gun, saying he is TRAINED in how to use a laser rifle, I take the rifle off him as he is just a scientist, as we get to the Odin with guns lying about, he picks up an energy gun, I take that off him, he then picks up a sol rifle, saying he also knows how to use it, and I take that off him, even the Odin guards were getting tired of him. To TD;DR info, Kaleb knows how to, Pilot, security and military grade RIGs and use the weapon systems, he knows how to use military grade combat rifles and laser rifles that security use, he also, knows how to make bombs, he is also a very unbeliable character and every time I see him it ruins the overall... atmosphere. When you play science with him, you can tell just from the way he acts and talks, he's very power gamey, oh and he also knows well... I say "knows" he uses Telescience, all though fails a lot. Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation? Read above. Approximate Date/Time: Any round Kaleb Rasam is Scientist

That could work, would make more sense also.

As the title says. I feel like this removes from the actual atmosphere of the game. I've seen this when someone is wearing an EVA suit, and a helmet, how do I know they're not just knocked out? It would also make it so checking their pulse MEANS something. You see the message, you know they are dead. No point. Instead have it where they die as usual, but no death message pops up. It would make you be more cautious, and allows for suprise attacks where they get up suddenly as they check your pulse. I can't think of reasons why this SHOULD be in the game still. I only see benefits rather than downsides. Perhaps if people comment here with downsides, then perhaps it might be a bad suggestion, I don't know. But I always thought it as weird.

Problem is, armor doesn't have a proper... penetration calculation. EG: you can get shot in the chest while wearing an armor vest, and the vest doesn't even stop the bullet, it "absorbs" some of the damage. But that is it. If armor had proper pen values. Slugs and buckshot would not be overpowered. I garuntee you buckshot is not going to go through a RIG. Same with Slugs. If armor had proper values I think we could be looking at bone breaking and a lot of pain. A slug hitting you while you're wearing an armor vest is still going to hurt. The entire gun/armor balance is... honestly just really bad. It is set values and RNG. When if someone is wearing a damn kevlar vest, that 9mm shouldn't do SHIT.

Time and time again have I NEEDED the AI to do something for me, usually if there's a situation when there's no command and there's an AI, a lot of the time the crew rely on the AI. AI, open the armory, and could you send a cyborg to open the lockers, or AI, quickly open this door! They're in here getting dressed! etc etc. Having no AI, I can see it having a huge effect on the overall flow of a round.

+1 just cause I wanna be cool. No but seriously, a huge +1 for this. Snoops is really good at security, and I haven't interacted with Azza that much, but I did have a round recently with her, and I must say that she took control of the situation as interim to the best of her ability, all things considering under the circumstances, it was a a terrible thing to try and get control of, but she managed to do it and coordinate security. Even giving up her gear so we could fight off the hostiles when we lost gear. I'd argue that snoops has the ability to become one of the best command players out there, mostly because of their RP capabilties. They're also robust as all hell so don't try to fight them.

+1 I've seen scientists complete research in 10 minutes. Which is... kind of amazing, I'm slow at it. But honestly, it's just a quick chore so the rest of science can have fun.

Alright, so I've seen this guy with two of my characters. Normandy and my officer Jarvis. I forget which round it was, but Scarlett Moore was the captain that round, so Satin can vouch for this. Ignus comes to the robotics door and asks to build a Protolathe and Autolathe in robotics, "So you don't have to keep bothering us scientists." Normandy said no, but Ignus continues to press on, over and over, resorting to actually hacking the door open. Normandy PDAd Scarlett this and she told him to cut it out. At which point Ignus said to Normandy "listen newbie, if you have this, you can build anything you want" I ovbiously declined. Another as my officer is where he just takes anything out of science and decides to use it for him self, clearly forgetting directive four and all that other useful stuff that's usually used by scientists not to get called powergamers and all that. Doesn't even let anyone know about it. I've also seem him as a ghost completely just... disreguard almost any REALISTIC RP. I don't have hard concrete evidence. But play a round with any of his characters. You'll quickly realise why this is made.

Agreed. It would be good to know who's in the engine. Or at least, if someone has entered the engine, just so we can keep an eye on it. The worst part is, is when there are no engineers to actually keep watch of it sometimes. So this would be a good idea. +1

I play Jake Jarvis, and this is the first round in a long time I've played with Stafford, I joined the round about an hour in, and I asked what was going on, but got no response from the HoS, so the captain stepped in and told me to read the newscasters, so I thought, fair enough. A while in the round, I had to basically take command and start getting information for the ISD my self, I felt like I was the HoS more than the ACTUAL HoS. I had to at least command some members of the ISD to help me, I went around my self getting information from all the wizards on how to handle the situation best, and so I saw fit to start taking the wands away, without detaining the wizards. I only saw and heard the HoS ONCE. That round, and that was not even on radio. It was when i came in to security to deliver the wands I confiscated. The lack of communication was... appauling. This is the same reason why we lost Lin Dyslioth, was because of lack of communcation, but this was worse. Much worse.

I'm not going to lie, you seem to be busy with miller ALL the time. Even when you are needed to help-coordinate security. Every 5-10 minutes I see you in robotics. Miller this, Miller that. Code blue? Code Red? just seems like Miller comes first. In fact, just today. You got SIX PEOPLE KILLED. Because you decided, Miller was more important than everyone in robotics. You were literally about to kill your self, because you wanted to save Miller. You LI should have stopped that and gone "She's just a Robotocist, I need to think of the big picture here and do my best to talk it down" Instead you rushed in, swiping and grabbing at Miller. causing her to blow up, then the welder tanks, and then causing everyone else in that room to die.

To be honest, on the topic of Exo-Suit voices, would it be possible for RIGs to get their own voices too? EG: Imagine the HEV suit from half-life 2. Say if you break a leg. "Major Fracture Detected"

And copyrighted sprites... _cough_ literally every voidsuit.

The current mech voices are ripped straight from MechWarrior. That's still copyrighted.

@Skull132 This is actually the same with a lot of sounds. They have changed in pitch drastically. Though, I wouldn't mind brand new voices for the exo-suits. Perhaps each exo-suit having differnt voices/voice lines? EG: The voices from titan fall. EG: This voice for the Durand https://youtu.be/zvp5V92fvKY?t=1390

This does sound tempting, however, I haven't played DnD in... a long time.

Personally, I've never had isuses with Lin as a character. Perhaps when I first started playing yes, but that was about a year ago on this server. I can say for a fact there have been times where Lin should've done something better, but with most of my experience Lin is usually one of the better HoSs out there. I've seen much worse, and I do agree that, we should all be making the game better. Perhaps you could give some constructive critasism and feedback, instead of just complaining about them. Perhaps you could explain what she should of done better and why.
