I’d personally like to see an expansion of our prosthetic and implant system. It would be neat to have implants for understanding languages and such. Imagine getting hit by an EMP as a human who knows skrell language, and it fries your cochlear implant and voice modulator, and you suddenly just can’t understand/vocalize some of the sounds?

The example I provided illustrates a very interesting point that I think wasn’t conveyed really well. It’s really really cool, I agree, and I’d like to see stuff like that, but the issue lies in opening that language up as just a “base option”. Imagine if humans could just “pick” one of the 500 tajaran languages or the skrell language. They wouldn’t put effort into WHY they have it, since they can pick it as a base option. Am I entirely against giving skrell sol common? Not really, considering it does make sense in lore. But it would take one of the only unique mechanics that humans have, and give it to another race that already has this same unique mechanic (their own language). I think a far more interesting way of doing this would be to have the ability to justify having a language and being given access to it on a character-by-character basis, rather than just throwing it in as another option for any skrell to pick for any reason (I have an extra slot and there’s a lot of humans. Might as well know Sol Common so they can’t talk about me). However, I don’t know how viable that implementation is, and that’s another idea for another thread.

I like this. It makes it easier on admins who have to remove traitor status from people early on, and then go around trying to find another willing participant.

I like the idea behind the PR lore wise, but I don’t want to see Sol Common be taken from humans, so I’m not supportive. You could honestly justify a human knowing how to use Skrell language if you really wanted to. Special Cochlear implants for hearing pitches outside the normal range. Voice modulator/synthesizer for speaking said pitches. Eridani cyberpunk fantasy at its finest. Is it cool? Fuck yeah, but I think people would have a problem with losing their private language as well. You could of course build a translator every round with IE, but at least you need to put in work for that.

Good enough for me. I've lifted this ban. Locking and archiving.

Hello. I am the banning staff member. I want to start by saying that the length of the ban was chosen to ensure that you would see it when you came back, coupled with the fact that you already had been sent a notification once, and received two notes on the matter, as this is only one of several times that you’ve been found AFK for an extended period of time. If you need to leave or go do something, stow your gear and head to cryo, or at the very least, ahelp and let a staff member know. Business aside, I am okay with lifting this ban early as long as you are willing to make an effort to keep yourself from AFKing in the future. Again, at the very least, an emergency “g2g emergency” ahelp is all that’s needed, and a staff member can take care of things for you.

Hello. Apologies for the delay on my reply. I want to start by saying that yes, this sort of issue does not usually result in a week ban. The reason the ban was placed at such a length was to ensure that you would see the ban and understand that there was an issue. I determined this was the best course of action after reviewing several unacknowledged warnings. The nature of the offense (disconnecting), means that we can not raise issue about it to you, since you are not there. Here are the warnings and bans placed on your account, for reference. I am going to lift this ban for you, as the intention of the ban was for you to see that there was an issue when you tried to join the next time. If you need to leave in the future, and can't put your gear away and make your way to the cryogenics room, please just ahelp and let us know. Something as simple as "g2g" is fine if it's an emergency. An administrator can take care of your disconnected body so that someone else may play the role. Cheers.

As someone who occasionally plays a character with some cybernetics, I can get behind this idea, if it were implemented in a way that makes it at least somewhat difficult to abuse. I like the idea of using loadout points for this. Currently my loadout is filled with a bunch of random clothing options and a lunch box. It would be neat to have something that pertains to my character more.

Trial begun on September 27th, and will continue for one month, ending on October 27th.
