Just keep it Federation.

The way I see it, all species should have their own 'flavor' of augment. I will admit that human-only augments seemed like a good 'draw' for them as a species, but...it's not like it's lacking in people playing them.

IMO this means we can open the way for different kinds of materials holding up better. Like, a steel plate isn't going to lose effectiveness because a 9mm pinged off of it, but something like a deagle will definitely compromise it; or, a laser would slag it if it hit enough times.

Other people have covered this, but, the communication between sec players is rp. It's not like sec comms is filled with "get valid" all day. Likeminded people in a likeminded channel, much like what happens in the private channels of any other department when things have not utterly hit the fan.

What if we just...buff antags? Or give them better tools? Removing comms is not a good idea for reasons I should not have to get into. You guys are sacrificing rp for what you call balance, in a server where....rp is prioritized over such. Come on, man. We have been nerfing things to improve rp, but now were nerfing rp for literally no reason. Why even have security? This is just a designated member of a department with shooty bang bang privliges. Aka "gank this guy to get a gun."

I wonder if this might eventually lead to mechanics surrounding temperature-based metabolism Unless we already have that. Regardless, the thing around them metabolizing slower seems to be a good fit.

Oh dear, this is heading in exactly the direction I'd wish: Mechanical representation of species! Even though it's already been happening, I've been gone for two and a half months, and must express my hype over these changes in this message instead.

The council of one agrees with this. The council of one finds this proposal....acceptable.

Mercs are not a faction. That's kind of the point of this: the merc team of the round is usually it's own gimmick. Also: "It's not consistent with what we should want to see in factions." Me attempting to parody this statement got me a warning. Please stop pushing your notions on everyone else. You can't tell people what they want, or what they SHOULD want. It's borderline bullying. It's like you're attempting to be an "outsider" on purpose because what's "cool" isn't what you think should be cool. Not to mention the factions you posted are: TCFL: Purposefully meant to be flashy; they are 9 times out of 10 the 'good guys.' Phoenix ERT: Literally what I said earlier. The...captain. I don't think you read my post at all at this point. A captain's not supposed to even be fighting. Dominia. Okay, seriously, have you even looked at the military assets they have? It's all literally exactly what you said you wanted to avoid.

I will attempt to re-iterate a point I was trying to get across earlier: You speak as if you, personally, know what everyone wants, and that even the option, as a few on this thread have suggested, of having new outfits, is impossible. Mercs rarely wear the undersuits alone, as they are given voidsuits, and the potential to buy things with TC. In fact, the regular undersuit is literally just the tacticool turtleneck, with which seemingly no one had issue with before. I don't understand why someone who's attempting to preform aggressive, antagonistic ops would wear bright flashy colors in space, where they'd easily be shot to hell and back. The "sci-fi" military dress you attempted to showcase earlier would not be worn into combat, and the image of the rebels hails from old 70s-80s comics. Go look at rogue one to see how even starwars has shown attention to detail on the asthetic changes, especially when it comes to moving away from those god-awful sallets. I could see if you wanted to add armbands or something similar to denote faction, like how we have medallions on the legion, but scifi can be flashy without insinuating illogicality in purpose. I look to halo in this regard, specifically at noble team, who managed to use saturated colors and not look goofy as all hell. The covenant were flashy because the things they wore were largely ceremonial in regard and they could hide simply by using active camouflage if they *really* wanted to be stealthy. However. I shall admit. I am partial to decorative shoulder padding, though I'm primarily a "function over form" addict when it comes to any group who'd primarily exist in constant combat. I think that contrasts plenty with the flashiness of the station itself.

Yeys. Do eet. Plus wan.

Good Lord, why did this even get removed? What purpose did removing access seek to serve? I can't even find feedback forms about it.

Preferably a full sized spider.

Idk why anyone would think the skirts are "miniskirts." Anyways, they look great, bla bla bla something about saturation. Great sprites, as usual, Amory.

What if we got... And hear me out here. A spider.

As "cute" as this is, Lamar is more thematic to Research. That rabbit is kind of. Nonsensical.

COLOR PLEASE THEY'RE SO bLEAK AND SAD

Didn't you literally pull a type three because you wanted to test the unathi breacher and fight sec? Come on, pot, don't you dare call a kettle black.

There are no rules on the forums against this, so I'll take the liberty to do this on behalf of two people one person. BYOND Key: Bath Salts Addict Total Ban Length: No clue. Banning staff member's Key: Garnascus Reason of Ban: Probably something along the lines of starting(?) a gank. Reason for Appeal: There is apparent confusion within the results of the round this happened in; disabling an ion is an understandable concern, but perhaps some patience could have been utilized when telling someone to fire at a merc, regardless of what might be done at the time. I'd like to perhaps lobby for something more along the lines of a warning here, as the person who ahelped the situation in the first place. I don't know if this kind of thing works, and the other person I was going to include in this is already unbanned. I will make no attempt to really defend what they did, because if I thought it was right I wouldn't have ahelped, but I feel this punishment is a bit to severe for something like this. They expressed deep concern over someone else getting banned for their own actions (though, self control is definitely a thing that exists) and I found what they did to simply be misguided rather than in poor taste. And with this I appeal to the servermin's almighty mercy to bring back a decidedly good player.

Ahah. Ahaha. No. Perhaps shooting for developer (sprites and such) would be a better idea, but moderator? Surely this is jest. You fly off the handle at the smallest of things, you become agitated over even smaller things, and in general lack the kind of attitude required to be a mod in the first place. When people disagree with you, you become incredibly spiteful. That's not a good fit for a mod team, imo.

Most rules exist because someone did something that needed to be regulated. Case and point, ganking.

Ganking rules are exactly why.

That really, really sounds like an issue that'd be dealt with via ahelp.
