I think it should be the same as it would take to learn any other language realistically. A lot of studying/practicing with those that know the language. Also, as Siik'maas also uses certain gestures/movements and probably tones a human isn't capable of (Humans cant purr/growl like a Tajarran), there would have to be something that would show that ICly as well.

Dark blue with the yellow jacket, and a dark blue/yellow EMT Armband?

Are those actually in Aurora code? I'd like to whip up some equipment in my local repo. I didn't see 'em when I looked. I'm not sure on the green/yellow colors. For some reason it more says custodian than EMT.

I like that backstory, and I've seen Samiya around a few times here and there. +1 from me, maybe Katana can be Shaw's deputy

inb4 this actually becomes athing on the new map.

Helosi: 'I need the doors and lights fixed in security' -Lights actually get fixed because there's a janitor to do the job on the engineering channel-

Oh, you want /all/ the Tajarran? Give me a few to get descriptions sorted out for Rasine and Miraj too, then.

Having a subverted robot from the start, and having a syndicate borg from tg/baystation are entirely different. I'd be fine with a subverted borg being something you can buy

Comfortable doing a Tajarran?

What do you like about this game mode? Be honest, don't just say 'nothing' or 'everything': While everyone's distracted with the crap the other nukeops are pulling... I can actually sneak in, steal shit, and get out without much problem. What do you dislike about this game mode? Don't just say 'everything' or 'nothing': Bombs. Always bombing everything. I've wanted to see a stealth infiltration for so long, and it never happens. Kidnapping from the same pool of 2-3 people Security deciding rambo/ignoring hostage situations is the best route. Every single time. There's no RP here, just 'Red hardsuit SHOOT HER WHILE SHES TYPING!'. This right here has made me give up on any kind of IC interaction, and just bugger off the second I see security without even waiting to see if they shoot first or say something. Being completely ignored when trying to suggest something outside of the usual 'Take a hostage/blow shit up' route. Do you think the things you like about this game mode are conducive and healthy to the general flow of roleplay?: Not really. Sneaking in and stealing things without being noticed because everyone's freaking out over the armory/engineering being explodified doesn't give me any chance to actually interact with other players, or anyone a chance to interact with me. Do you think that reinforcing the things you like about this game mode would help make it better for everyone else's RP experience?: No. The problems I listed above need to be addressed, and that's more of a player mindset issue than anything game mechanics can fix. Are the things you dislike about this game mode highly destructive to the flow of RP?: Very. When we get to a point where nuke ops just blow things up, and security just fires without a word on people that are obviously sitting still because they're bloody typing.. There's no RP. It's just gankstation 13. Do other people on this server share that sentiment? If so, how many that you know of do?: I've seen and heard people saying similar things about nuclear rounds (I know a few people that just absolutely refuse to play during nuke rounds) How do you think we could 'fix' the issues that, in your opinion, make the game mode bad?: We need some way to address the player's mindsets for this round. Security needs to stop forgoing RP for just shooting at the nukies, and nuke ops need to actually provide some interaction at the least instead of just suddenly setting off bombs, and not saying a word to the crew. (I think the nuke ops could learn a few things from how Stein and Sylvia handled themselves awhile back)

I rarely seem to be around when Crescentise is, but I like this backstory. +1

Having seen syndie borgs in action on other servers (Particularly looking at one that also says RP on it)... That becomes a gank fest of fighting a robot that doesn't need atmos and can fire lethals, typically resulting in dead sec officers and a borg still running around.

There was something mentioned on the site about an 'Anti Sue' which is also bad.

Apparently the forums don't like big pictures. SSD Duty Officer, ahoy! [attachment=0]ssddo.png[/attachment]

Sol Common exists. Sai uses it on occasion. I didn't know the heat issue for Tajarran's was actually coded in game, so I'd always just RP'd that they hated things that made them too warm - Such as wearing her jumpsuit zipped up, sitting in a hardsuit for extended periods, being in a heated room, etc (Rasine being a little more tolerant to hardsuits because of how long she's been doing EVA mining). Aggression wise, for Ziva and Rasine, it doesn't really have anything to do with species (Except when people start being species-ist [Racist is so much easier to say, always figured it was just used as an easier term for what it really was in this time period], then Rasine will bring out the claws, or Ziva will start getting annoyed.). For Ziva, it's mostly just dealing with the constant stress of people breaking everything during certain shifts, and then opening firelocks and getting themselves vented. Rasine's just an asshole, Tajarran or not. And then there's Miraj, who's only threat to anyone on station is hugging them to death. I try to play along with the lore as best I can - Rasine's in probably the most stereotypically manual labor-oriented job there is, and she loves it. Ziva's also in a more manual-oriented job, as engineering and focusing on station repairs (She knows shite about electronics and atmos, only enough to help her focus on getting areas repaired and repressurized, and getting to those areas). I've played out that both get their pay docked for relatively stupid reasons, that a human probably wouldn't have to worry about. I know Karima plays things similarly, though that Tajarran is definitely brighter than Ziva is when it comes to technology. A couple other Tajarran I think play the race well: Nasir Ha'kim (Aggressive at times, yes, but that's just who he is.) Jar'eeka ForgotHisLastName (I love this character, btw.) So not all of us fit the descriptions being made here

On the side of communication, having been playing CE recently, I can say that command staff even seem to have some trouble communicating with eachother. I've had a couple rounds with three other heads, where the command channel was completely quiet, even when Helosi attempted to get someone to tell her something (All three of them were active, I'd seen them running around throughout the round). Makes it a bit hard for Sairis to tell her team things if she doesn't know them herself.

Ziva is panicking because Nasir is ignoring his injuries... Again.

Out of curiousity, feel like putting up any records/flavor text you came up with for the character and have on the server?

It's much more open looking, although the small office and surgical areas could maybe use a little more room to let two people comfortably move through them. (I don't play roboticist much, but I've sat around with Karima and others enough to get an idea of how things flow)

I'm all for it. I don't play in medical, but I know the frustration of not being able to get in somewhere I'm needed quickly (Although as I'm usually an engineer... Doors cannot stop me. Medical doesn't have that power, though.) Another server I played on has an EMT, and they even have an ambulance train (Similar to Aurora's cargo train) that can be seen zipping around during red alert, ferrying injured people to medbay while the doctors do the work of fixing up the internal damage from that vented firelock some clown decided to open.
