Fire and Glory

Death, yes, instant death from being anywhere near it, I'd say no. And most people get 5 of these things. I believe being adjacent to a frag, maaybe two tiles away, should usually kill you instantly, and work down from there, wasn't one of the Big Things about these grenades being the fact that they lodge fragments like bullets? There's not much of that in play when the bloke dies right off.

aren't frags priced at like 12 TC currently In fact it is. If you could get any amount of frags for 2 TC we'd have a serious problem on hand.

did garbage just steal my fucking image get your own

Sounds like it was either a shitty water and potassium grenade or implanting the frag messed it up, either way you didn't get the experience. Being within about 4 tiles from a frag will likely kill you (not to mention any mates you had if they weren't standing behind you) instantly, if not instantly you will probably die soon enough, armor doesn't really help in these ranges. While motivation to actually run and take cover from such a grenade is all fine and dandy, Usually Instant-Death seems a bit much. I wouldn't object if the amount of fragments got reduced by 15-40%.

it's ugly as heck anyways lets be honest

Yeah... Either people would give it the ling treatment and cut its head off/incinerate it/space it which'd make it exactly like lings in that respect or none of that will work which means it'll cause A WHOLE LOTTA SHIT. Especially since vampires can end up causing shit without actually being seen sucking your blud, so no one knows that it's a vampire, so it'd be metagaming. And even if they did see the vampire sucking blood they'd probably be super paranoid about metagamining anyway. Pls no.

you only did lighting to fend off suspicion this is muh thread i will absolutely not shut the fuck up you shut up lore people have so little power they're not even worth mentioning ok mate have a g'day mods aren't people so you dun matter headmins aren't people either they just disappear into skull's estonian sex dungeon no doubt

you know what you guys should do Liberal Crime Squad themed rev round! Revolutionaries come up with a slogan that they use randomly as they do activities. (cool slogan not included) Before a revolutionary starts his spiel to convert someone he needs to say the magic words. of course if political persuasion fails you can always resort to seducing them Basically everything you need to do a rev round.

you need actual reasons for why they suck mate like this moondancerpony also tries to insert real things into the game so we should laugh at them lohikar is randomly lazy and works on things no one can actually see instead of The Good Stuff does skull even code nowadays printer doesn't shitpost enough they're like a robot alberyk just codes guns and dumb things arrow is a robot too

here is why alberyk is a fukin powergamer and has problems giving people straight answers, on a road to Fowlhood no doubt incog abuses the discord buttons too much smh prate's art sucks tishinastalker is a myth amiright nur'sie tries to stick real-world knowledge into the game too much why would you even do that trickingtrapster got art from prate and presumably liked it thus also sucks shameonturtles IS a myth where teh fuck are they there is one exception however catnip is chill and a good boy

I imagine it's more like space magic in and around your gloves that makes your grip tighter and your motions harder/faster, so we're at a standoff on this point because nothing says either of us are wrong. To be honest I feel like regular gloves might be fine, it would discourage touching the stuff with your bare hands like an idiot without inducing any rituals involving special gloves. My comment about it being annoying is in reference to the fact that Vaurca cannot wear gloves and are not fully resistant to radiation. The problem with force gloves is the grab, it enables you to easily wrestle someone into a neckgrab and by that point they are fucked, about as terrible and easy to use as flashes except there is nothing in existence that stops someone from getting you in a neckgrab compared to the various shields against flashes. (Not to mention this suggestion would have an entirely different class of stationers wielding gloves as well as the other class with flashes, so that's even more people with instant win devices.) This grab is perfectly harmless but incapacitating and any random Joe with the gloves can do it because "hey these gloves make me stronger", whereas you only stab someone in the eyes with a screwdriver if you're crazy or something. As I said before, it is perfectly fine if you can easily use something to murder someone, murdering people tends to get you into shit ICly and OOCly. But devices that can incapacitate someone without doing them any harm are a different thing entirely, it allows whoever possesses the device to deal with whatever violent person is in front of them quick and easy. (If you want to kill security with glovess just target the mouth, walk up to the officer, grab, upgrade grab, optionally monologue in maint or something so you don't get banned, throat-cut/whatever murder method you like, and you're done. He couldn't've tasered you because you blindsided him and the rest of sec probably doesn't know anything is up either, especially if you turned off his sensors. But killing sec isn't my main beef with this stuff.) Some other brand of gloves that doesn't have any enhanced grabs to pull out of its arse would probably be okay.

I'll rephrase then, force gloves are cheesy and I do not want to see them show up in the game even more. I do not care about people getting dangerous items that kill and mutilate, that's Fine, there is already a ton of jobs that can easily kill someone if it wasn't gank. Force gloves however specialize in shutting down shit, non-lethally and easily, a dangerous item needs some consideration before being applied, force gloves can be applied anywhere with little lasting consequence. Force gloves are not always dangerous and that's the problem. It also just seems kinda odd to me that you need these wacky strength multiplier gloves if you would want to handle dangerous materials that have no need of strength being multiplied.

I still think we ought to have Poly. We need some owls as well Stick them on your shoulder and they'll also eat mice any mice they see why wouldn't you want an owl owls are great Hologram conversations would be awesome too. You activate a holopad and then it'll project everything in a certain radius onto another holopad, the holopad you're sending to will also project everything around it to the one you're using. In order to prevent spying via holopad you would have to accept an incoming call from a holopad before everything starts happening. It would be cool! You could have a normal in-person conversation without actually being there! C'mon.

Aren't Vaurca rather rad resistant and literally sustained by plasma regardless of the delivery methods? Shrug. (Though Vaurca are not completely rad resistant so that could get very annoying very fast indeedy.) There is not a difference between gloves that have been wire-cut and gloves that are made for whatever species atm, they're of the same quality thus aliens can easily obtain gloves of any sort. Even if there was a difference I doubt it would be horrendously terrible, you can spawn with specially fitted gloves and if you didn't spawn with them well tough luck better go to cargo and order some decent gloves. Not sure how I feel about force gloves being the only thing that can safely handle stuff, they're already powerful combat tools so I am leery of the idea of handing them out to do anything else other than combat. I have wondered why uranium is totally fine until after you make a wall out of the stuff and then it's bad news.

5 days to half a year at most so far, the one processing things is sort of random. If you actually want your item I suggest going on the discord and pinging TishinaSenpai about there being unprocessed custom items every few days, it actually speed things along to sane processing times.

get your memes while they're fresh #thanks lore

I have been reminded of things. Does this limb replacement surgery thing mean that surgeons are concretely qualified to give prosthetics to patients, or is it for limb-stitching?

wtf this sucks I'd like for us to take a good look at hardsuit removal/have it explained to me, is it something you'd really need a surgeon for?

Could use a better name imo it's just not catchy

There 'ought to be a section for mining tools. "Blah blah blah only cargo personnel should have picks etcetera" Or whatever.

Hmm. https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=5539#p55288 I would not be overly distraught if things were made a bit more obvious to people in this area. Station directives on the requests console mayhaps?

Unless your terrorist is a nuke op neither of these cases really apply, since, infiltration antags are naturally station-characters, the issue is with exterior antagonists (as listed up top, these being nuke ops, heisters, ninjas, and wizards).

There is no framework for it, you would need to convince staff in the suggestions forum to allow people to know certain alien languages through either some sort of official application for each character or to let everyone do it.

I agree with Schev, this seems heavy handed and unnecessary. I would wager that if you ahelped about any bartender doctors or roboticist wardens, admins would either forbid it or clear it, thus, why would the mechanic be needed? I am sure it should be established whether or not it is actually bad (from the adminstration's point of view) for professional characters to be kicking back with a second job bartending/gardening/whatever before campaigning to lock it all down with mechanics. Not that it matters because even if it was agreed that having a second job is terrible it could still be dealt with by ahelps.

Oh yes I put in 2442+18 instead of plus 17, because I initially thought the minimum was 18, whups.
