For me, the reasons I joined SS13 was entirely to dick around like a lunatic and shitpost, but eventually I settled on it being my place to RP.
My first server was Paradise. I've only played ten minutes there, 1000ms ping in tow, and dropped SS13 entirely.
Now a series of completely unintended events lined up for me to eventually pick up SS13 again.
After the fallout of my neverending trek to find good RP (which was a long one, from Roblox RP, Minecraft RP, and Starbound RP) and also me looking for a new game to play, Space Station 13 was like, the perfect venn-diagram of what I wanted. So in the afternoon - basically deadhour, a baldie itching to help people was born. (Perfect enviroment to learn about the game in basically a private server) I'd read the wiki dutifully, and after levering tiles of the floor like a dimwit and getting told by an officer to put my ID card on (probably my first experience with RP here)
My first character was born. James Hanford, Chef.
Rats aren't supposed to br treated as such. They're a glorified ghostrole, and should be as unintrusive as possible. And thusly be as easy to deal with since they aren't liable to consequences in interuppting actual RP.
Even so : It's probably better to plan for the future before some dude requests a color and then you have to painfully open an entirely new PR and go through the process again.
Just because it isn't needed RIGHT NOW doesn't mean it'll be useless in the future. Doesn't hurt to be ready for the future
why are clown arm stripes perpendicular
also that dithering on clowns pants looks like he's wearing a red IKEA canvas bag
lol
and I'd say the mask is a little *too* off-white
Other than that looks sick, ready for a new age of pie flinging and...silence?
Because I should probably use the forums more.
(please browse the github more guys, your feedback can be implemented more expediently)

civilian and security get a nice gunmetal grey
engineering and cargo get a nice silver sheen
science and medical get a nice sterile white
command staff get a nice deep navy
(except quartermaster. he gets gunmetal grey.)
Honestly I think we should actually get down and actually try to sprite some good posters instead of downsizing .pngs because honestly they're illegible from a distance and look like 4th wall breaking donkey dong
He's done a lot of small scale PRs and bugfixes which usually get merged. (Although some are contested as they are balance changes)
I'm excited what bigger scale PRs hold for him, and if he does feedback threads he should be OK.
+1
You know, an elegant solution is for it to not actually deal any damage, just hurt.
so you could just ask for some over-the-counter traumadol and ignore it for the rest of the round
you have the choice of RP-ing it out.
So everyone is happy. People who want the mechanic inside and the people who don't can just ignore it.
Hell, even reduce the chance of getting appendicitis.
I mean, there isn't any money here so I doubt EA's going to even be interested
And unlike Nintendo, they don't gulag every mod which includes even a single hair of Mario.
Honestly :
1. Assistants are already extremely few and far in between anyway - they're practically non-existent here. Separating them would exacerbate this even further.
2. Code-wise, creating an entire new job just for visitors is just a waste of time, probably.
3. You know the function that makes you automatically an assistant when you don't roll your job at round-start? Yeah, I would not like to be demoted to maintenance rat.
4. I don't know, but people visiting a random research station in Fuck-Off, Asteroid Belt somewhere is kinda dumb from the get-go. And I doubt Nanotrasen wants any random contractors to just... visit, and steal company secrets.
