im going to agree with your assessment of the bomb range being changed, on to the topic of the AI core main level defense it seems my point was missed during your fictional story of malf gimmicks being good. The point im attempting to make is that as a defense it is not a deterrent, it dosnt cover the upload area at all meaning you can bypass the majority of the doors and directly access the upload console, meaning you also have unrestricted access to the core itself if they are fast enough. The big circle of walls dos nothing but alert people of the area already there to be exploited because its a half measure at best to prevent the easy route to do things despite the accepted method of malf killing being honestly faster and easier to pull off.

issue with turrets on the top is that miners may get shot by lethal turrets if they are exposed, this also just puts a giant target on top of the core for anyone to see unlike now where only someone with the blueprints or knowledge of them would beable to know and get the equipment to do it.

i will say that this is a huge -1, according to the image yes it covers the core from a "rod drop" from an engineering stand point this would only just slow me down at most. As it also stands rod dropping is just not done because people are scared player complaints over it or being "cheesey" with their malf kills. in order to even exploit this weakness of the AI core one must bring a shovel, pick axe and an RCD as well as knowing the exact spot to dig before breaching less the AI realize its being attacked and have a borg simply move its core in a few seconds. Aside from your AI core changes i would say great job moving the bomb range im tired of fixing that damn maintenance tunnel and its piping.

hi, as the chief engineer of the second instance i can safely say that i was offering him a way out. Simply to be escorted by sec to mining to leave peacefully, instead of waiting like the sec borg did he charged off into maintenance. The ensuing shinagins he caused in my personal opinion detracted from the raider teams gimmick quite badly, distracting bad enough that sec ignored the raider stealing the AI in favor of chasing the insane raiders down.

i would like to point out as a ghost i was watching the event in question, and its my personal thoughts that the CE went full bore much to fast but i digress. When nifty died RTNP told them in dchat to ahelp over what happened, implying that they knew what was going on prior to the ahelp. As i dont have msay or asay as a observer i dont know what was being said there but seems to me tossing out a warning after accusing a player of lieing and closing a ticket may not be the best moderation choice.

Hi, i was the Chief that round and the one that had you drunk tanked aswell. IMHO i dont mind drunk people, i just want them sober near the engine hence why sec pulled you into the brig for sobering up without charges, and my faxing of CC requesting you have to take some kind of alcoholics class. i personally believe this is a matter that IAA should handle IC as the captain informed me on the bridge that your character had been drunk instantly into 3 rounds, as someone with slight amounts of irl electrical knowledge for power generation systems i can tell you that if someone showed up drunk on the job 3 times they would be fired instantly for being a safety hazard. In the case of causing yourself harm from what i was observing before i could join the round your mesons were not on from the observers stand point, this can and will cause nasty hallucinations such as n2 tanks being colored like phoron or your health meter being fake crit or fake full. In recap it kinda just looks like a cool off ban in my eyes, look forward to seeing you on my team again.

As the one who gifted this Glorious spear to said fearless leader i give a huge plus 1

Ill keep this short, OOS knows what hes doing with the core and its related systems, his only downfall is lack of atmos knowledge but that can be expanded on as a CE much easier then a atmos tech in my personal thoughts. I give him a plus one as he already takes charge when given the chance to do so.

Just finished being this guys body guard as trp, seems to know his way around words. Also knows what the hell playing a violin is called, i will be giving this high speed low drag hos candidate a big thumbs up so he can see how horrible being a head of staff is. +1

[mention]Butterrobber202[/mention] as ive said before it was not my intent to lol rekt your story, i have valid hunted very little on this server compared to what i could have done, as it stands i was under the impression that you had ninjaed to delta and then proclaimed yourself a planet killing AI, as far as i was aware i had no engineering support aside from a single one that was hacking the doors in the core. i assume engineers should have breached that before i even got outside the station, i have always handled malfs in a way of "Have a main assault and a back up plan." I was attempting to be the back up plan and seeing a SD alert i assumed main assault had failed. Sorry if i ruined your story you were creating yes it would have been cool, if the SM not blown, if the janitor had not shut a door in my face prior to promotion, if i could have found a damn station bounced radio, if the engineer in your upload was able to hack faster. As i see it, it was ether go from top or side and the side would have been just as fast, only would have interacted with people more.

[mention]DatBerry[/mention] As i have said before i was a visitor not a head of staff except for the time the captain promoted me and prior to that as korom has pointed out engineering literally closed a door in my face and i could not find anything on short notice, the only engineer that showed up on the bridge was one with no emitter who had issues with a secure door. I know what a CE needs to do as it stands i was a visitor for the express purpose of a CCIAA meeting, had i been CE i would have had control of my engineers the engine wouldnt have exploded and the RP would have been better. in a sec situation aswell as a CE with no apparent access to AI upload or any form of tools besides an RCD and a rig i was of no help down there in the core, as far as i knew the Captain was the one who was coordinating and the only engineer i saw was hacking doors meaning it left jsut me to dig the hole i was intending to use as a last resort. Yes i didnt do it perfectly and i accept that but hanging this over my head as "You didnt act like a ce" is because i was not a CE at the time simply was given the access to deal with the impending threat.

[mention]Coalf[/mention] To your points 1 i was in the bridge quite a bit, sec was present and seemingly super confused as to what to do, the captain was somewhere in his office whom i was trying to get the plan of action with. 2 the borg was engineering and when i saw it it was a sec borg, considering it was being called down to the core i told them to watch out for it while letting people in the elevator. 3 i indeed have a plan to kill an AI oocly and i did not get a GPS i refused it i took one from the locker in the CE room, i had basically no way to see any form of communication with the assault team, once again i was assuming that when the self distruct triggered i was assuming they were fighting inside it wasnt til after i rod dropped the AI that i even went down to see no damage to the core at all with my jet pack. Once again i realize that i cheesed the AI in this instance, that we all agree on. could i have communicated better? sure i could have, i had an entire plan for not murdering the AI straight away unfortunately when i see self distruct on a server ive not seen ti really used or seen it disarmed im going to kill the AI as soon as possable. i admit wrong in it but i will say im not sorry for saving the station or the people who were about to be put in harms way of the lethal turrets when they entered the core.

[mention]Butterrobber202[/mention] i did infact thing about RCDing the door but i dislike bieng shot in the face by turrets the AI may turn back on and having no way to pull back without a lethal laser in the chest, this is more reinforced by the fact that when i went down there a second time your outer turrets were on and lethal. o and the metal rods were RCD walls i cut down and remade due to the suit basicly producing metal on demand for power. [mention]Synnono[/mention] you are indeed correct i should never have been in the situation the captain asked me to before i could even get to cyro, he just took my ID and changed it, for more information on his actions you would need to consult arrow, but i did tell him to fax CC about it so i was infact a visitor.

ill just start from my side as soon as i finished my CCIAA thing, i came on station escorted by the CCIAA and happened to meet up with the captain near the hops office, i decided to RP a little with him when E-ERT shows up, tells us we should start the tesla for power. at this point i interjected as i know that the tesla is very dangerous to start without a primary power source for its containment, something that likely would have killed the AI and anyone else on the sub level without rp aswell i might add. The Captain asked if i was an engineer and i replyed i am a Chief engineer who was just here for CCIAA and getting a new arm, after the last canon round broke it, the captain requested my assistance after i was fit for duty. While i was getting my arm replaced tcomms dropped due to power loss, at this point i got the arm attached and let the captain know i was ok to go, and checked to see if he needed me, the AI then announced that it was Glorish and the captain informed me of what this ai had done to a planet, ok threat is there i can see this will likly not end well. I was then drafted into service for the captain as a Chief engineer and proceeded to get my stuff, after i might add the engineering had ignored me prior to this when i went to them while looking for the captain, anyway i could not find a tool belt in engineering and only saw one engineer whom i spoke to breifly and moved on to the bridge to deal with the AI after giving an engineer the card form tech storage. As i arrived me and two officer went down to the AI upload and i turned off the turrets only to discover that CE apparently cant access AI upload, so due to lack of tools aside from a RCD on the rig i turned around and went back up to see the captain and let them know whats going on due once again to lack of tcomms, he was missing from his office and when i went EVA to go start dealing with the AI from the top i did not see him in his office at all. After i pinpointed the what i thought was the correct spot via GPS i dug down to the platting and prepared to head back in when i see "Selfdistruct Activated" having no idea how long this takes or that it can even be disarmed i proceeded to RCD some walls up to prevent mass airloss and made a hole in the AI ceiling missing it. before i could thruster down into the core and attempt a carding the AI spammed selfdistruct attempts so i moved one tile and repeated, assuming that the lower breach team had made it into the core and was fighting it. At this point i saw the AI was still active so i started chucking rods down into its core aswell as floor tiles, headed back inside to check the breach team only to find they were still in the first room with lethal lasers on the other side waiting for them, so i let them know it was dead for their own safety, after this i located the captain and informed him and returned the rig after being returned to visitor status and on my way out to cyroing the server reset. TLDR version, I will say that what i did was pretty cheesey for killing the AI, but i personally dont beleave that it was as much of an issue as its being made to be, i see it as AI called lethal on the entire station once that selfdistruct was triggered as i never have had much interaction with the nuke how would i know that the thing takes 15 minutes ooc or IC.
