This isn't really feedback, as Matt doesn't need feedback, he's good already. But, I have an intense need to put this here, if only for recordkeeping.

Some sort of bath you can lie down in which has nutrients and chemicals that allow you to regrow limbs would solve that, but also nullify the point of the suggestion. Oof.

As a CE main, my first thought was. "Oh god, oh fuck. Oh no, please don't." But, on further inspection: It's only one airlock between you and the axe, and that isn't secure at all. There are always never atmos techs on, so usually the normal engies just take it. Who uses the firefighting axe to actually handle fires? When's the last time you saw a fire? Did someone have the axe, or were they pulling two scrubbers along? The axe is useful for three things. Getting rid of vines, opening unpowered blastdoors, and hitting your allies due to cleaving. I definitely back this suggestion, for these reasons alone. If I really want a weapon and I'm forming a militia, I'm absolutely never taking the axe, I'd make a spear or a pike.

Job done. Most of the features suggested here have been implemented into the PR. https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/6582 It'll stay in WIP phase until thorough testing has been done and people with brains larger than mine have corrected my spahgetti.

i wanted to type out a big reply but im lazy and it's late and im gonna sleep soon also conspiir summed my thoughts up nicely 1) for screamers: we have radio jammers for a reason 2) telecomms outages is literally the worst. having no feedback makes what's supposed to be a bustling space station feel deader than a supermatter set up by a borg main 3) how does removing the ability for roles that aren't always on-station to talk assist roleplay at all, see: solars, virologist, psychologist, xenobiologist, xenobotanist, gardener, (captain) 4) more legwork doesn't mean more gameplay, to whomever said that. that's why we added the canisters near the engine room and pre-set the shields. more legwork is tedium, tedium isn't very fun once the novelty wears off 5) if you want people a reason to interact in person, give them a reason to do so, most of the game is geared to roughly doing your job, to such an extent that "chairRP" has become a sort of namecalling phrase 6) "I think we're at a point where we can trust the community not to just use station bound radios" i think we can trust the community to do what's the most fun thing to do, honestly. as a command main myself, this wouldn't affect me much, but a lot of the fun of the game comes from shittalking on the radio, then meeting the person i've been meming with for half an hour and then squaring up with them through emotes. without a thin thread connecting everyone, why shouldn't i just sit in my department and wait for the next biohazard alert to pop up and wake me from my eternal slumber as i wipe the cheeto stains out of my eyebrows. edit: yes i know it's big despite my first sentence im dumb

both of those should be possible, i'll look into it and report my findings.

i can look into this. if the person is unconscious, it goes as regular, but if they're awake, it takes 4. or maybe a prompt comes up if they want to accept getting loaded or not. watcha think?

❤️ I've already been working tightly with the administration team behind the scenes, pushing Logifier updates via Prate announcing them on the staff discord. I've also begun coding in DM proper and realized just how much I like doing it. I feel that, as a coder, I'd be able to do both of these much easier, as I'll be able to coordinate with the rest of the development team, instead of waddling about in #code_dungeon only. I admit, I've only recently released my first batch of PRs, and the very first one I made introduced a security risk, which is pretty funny, to be honest. This may be a bit detrimental to the application, but I don't think it'll be too bad, as long as I don't touch HTML again without being completely sure what I'm doing. I'm releasing small PRs currently, with the Health Analyzer and Logifier being my largest ones to-date, but I also have a few more larger projects planned, a few of which will only happen as soon as the Construction Overhaul gets finished. All-in-all, I think I'm worth a trial period at the bare minimum. If I screw up with a stupid security risk PR again, or I become inactive with stale PRs or no PRs, then boot me.

I'm no Sleepy, but this is a quick mock-up I made. (Credits to Sleeby for poster) This is how it'll make the server icon look. (Credits to Moon for screenshot)

I'm definitely backing the TCFL poster.

Ckey/BYOND Username: Geeves Discord Name: Geeves#8863 Position Being Applied For: (coder, mapper, spriter): Coder Past Experiences/Knowledge: I've been doing Java coding for the past three years. I started coding in DM yesterday, technically, though I have dabbled in it a few months ago. Examples of Past Work: - The Logifier! - Examine Tweaks - Climbing Tables - Word-based Healthscans - Tweak Thirst-Spawns - Fixing Apostrophes Reverted: Introduced massive security risk! Oops. - Fireaxe Cleavetweaks - ExperiWelder Buffs Additional Comments: I'm still learning how to map, and I suck ass at spriting, but I can possibly do both. I'm mainly a coder, though.

why cant we just keep em both

im gonna airdrop my +1 in here even though i can just influence schev to influence his shadow staff cabal to have this accepted lmao anyway, so, vt is pretty good okay, regarding characters and all. they're most known for Bretscher who's a shit by design, which is okay. i've also had the experience of roleplaying other designer shell characters with her which was pretty fun. vt's good at filling in different roles, and took command of our little designer shell entourage haha see what i did there? took command? lmao, nice one geeves yeah this is good +1

is this a troll post fowl, is that you? oh god

is this the staff version of staffman bad discordman bad??

you see the way we usually roll it, if a character dies to bullshit circumstances, we slap a major injury on them related to the cause of death and have them be out of commission for a while. i think that's a fine self-regulatory method to have consequences to actions but still keep your well-loved characters alive and shitposting

I'd like to drop my +1 here too. I've had a lot of pleasant interdepartmental experiences with Lock, even though I was just a lowly Station Engineer at the time. Being willing to speak to people that isn't just Security is already a good cut above the rest. Good luck, hope to bully you on command comms soon!

sounds like you should make a player complaint instead tbh, seems like you're targetting one guy

I was quite involved with the creation of this application, as GlitterGuts asked me to give them hints and feedback about applying for this. They took the feedback incredibly well and even rewrote the character after a specific piece of feedback was given. I believe they've got what it takes to play a good synth, having seen some interactions of their other characters. +1.

all feedback is important, because there's a reason it comes your way sometimes you need to do the introspection yourself, at which stage, if you're capable of doing without someone spoonfeeding you it, you'll be ready for command

i volunteer as vox dev in like uhhh six months when my exams are done

I like these a lot. I just think the little knee puff on the jumpsuits should be toned down a liiiittle bit. I like the look of the puff though. Make the Unathi suits into dragon suits like the Captain's one is. Thanks. (Especially the CE one, for no reason in particular!)

If this isn't a joke, and even if it is, it's a shitty one, you need to chill out a little. Jesus. The removal of memes are good. Nice. Though, from what I've looked at on Github, you're lowering the values so low they seem almost worthless to complete. Especially the mechs, which bring in around ~3000 only. Seems a bit too low.

can confirm this one too, just take the problematic player directly to the loredev using screenshots and it gets handled

why would anyone fight in their workplace
