We live in a corporate dystopia, but our highest ranking representatives from our parent corporations literally have 0 actual mechanical purpose on the ship, and remain one of if not the most neglected role on the ship. Both ICly and OOCly nobody really cares about or treats them with any weight, their faxes don't matter, they simply don't matter. The solution: Chain of Command goes as follows Captain > Command (their department) > Corp Reps (their corporation) Simply give corporate representatives some limited access to the departments that are relevant to their corp, and some weight they can throw around icly to remind people the boot of megacorporate is around. They're already locked behind the command WL, so usage of their authority would be scrutinized if abused and shouldn't be given the vetting process. We, as loyal megacorporate employees love our megacorporate overlords who are totally our friends and really a nice guy. https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/b395250c-93c5-4285-afb2-ffd559c36129 Once again, history shall prove me right, employees. Shall you side on the right side of history, or be unbased and cringemaxxed? The choice is yours.

I admit where I may not be right the entire time, thank you for attending this thread-talk (dad joke) Trio is right yeah, fundamentally the Captain can just do this anyway as long as it doesn't break server rules and it adds characterization to those who are corrupt enough to do so (without breaking server rules). The original intent of the thread was mostly to have what is already server culture (gunning down uncontainable antags) codified in some way, but it probably doesn't matter at the end of the day.

Ironically NerdyVampire that would make Borging (killing someone) easier than just airlocking them which is still quite funny. Anyway, the ALTERNATIVE to this is to make all criminals HUT and that marooning and borging cannot be done on ship, and need a long due process back on biesel before their guilt is assured and then they are borged. People just incidentally die to lethal force or extraordinary circumstances Edit: To clarify, I think either Captain should get access to the ability to kill people with whatever caveats that has. Because they have access to remove you from the round in 2 ways, both of which are boring but still murder (literally speaking not legally). Borgification that antags will cyro from every time, and marooning which is basically murder or dropping a dangerous criminal on an inhabited world. Or all forms of murdering detained people (marooning, execution, borging) cannot ever be done in round and it's just overuse of lethal force that ends up with fatalities. All such rulings such as marooning are done by internal affairs after they investigate a matter (removing the godly power of the Captain to fucking murder their crew with 0 oversight) It's either one or the other.

To be clear this would not be an action security could undertake, this would be a captain level decision just like borging, which security can't order either. Furthermore note my extremely important phrasing here: "In emergency situations when there is no other reasonable option allow Captains within regulations to apply capital punishment" Note the 'no other reasonable option' section.

As a member of The Regime I am obligated to support other Regime members. I as a person with no gun to the back of my head think that Jasorn is a great member of staff and am surprised he does not have a command WL yet

So, here's the issue. You, a funny little Captain on the flagship of the SCC have the sole authority to unquestioningly make machinists tear the brain out of crew members. Forcing machinists to be executioners or 'executioners' (by Biesel law) to do this within the span of 2 hours without external investigations and judgement to do so. You, as a funny little Captain can also maroon people, including on lifeless rocks or ones inhabited by reavers where the person is assured to die to either the elements, oxygen, the creatures or time. Why not just give Captains the ability to in an emergency kill someone in the regs? Plenty of Captains still defacto order deaths in different wordings because at times it's straight up needed. Aka antag constantly breaking out of the brig or whatever. Usage of it would be as sparing as marooning or borging, but would allow for classic shit like airlocking. Executions would have to remain purely an emergency thing, used in cases where someone can't be held for future arbitration to decide their fate (future borging) and so on. In addition, no antag sticks around after being borged anyway because it's not what they signed up to play. So on a meta level, just let their round end. This could let you say to the antag "You either die, or get borged, or get marooned. Pick one." Y'know? This thread is slightly incoherent but I think you get the vibe. TL;DR - In emergency situations when there is no other reasonable option allow Captains within regulations to apply capital punishment

Awesome thread, but good luck getting someone to touch atmos code, I can feel the hairs standing up on Alb's neck thinking about atmos code

can we get a ceres lance sticker also a sticker loveheart to give to people, maybe a broken heart sticker too? skull sticker...

I'd like to preface this with the fact that Kermit gets my support, their replies were all rather good. I'll fire off some questions: What do you think of the current state of offworlders and lack of major space stations/trade hubs? What areas of the Spur do you think would be most interesting for an arc? With the factionalism of the SCC being made apparent would you be looking for conflict between departments or mostly a background fluff thing? If you feel comfortable, what do you feel was your greatest mistake(if any) while working in Lore? Finally, would you be open to more personalizing the corporate CEOs. AKA making Aeson do stunts like carving his name into a moon with a giant laser, Miranda being found by tabloids in a stealth shuttle over mars? Or do you think that is the wrong direction?

Soul Speedmerge immediately how could this happen to us. Also give restocks of it to the janitor so we can get more packs

The true issue is the vast majority of disabilities ingame are just incredibly boring to play around. Wheelchairs for example, are very boring, asthma is mechanically uninteresting, being nearsighted is a pain and so on. Lore is secondary to the fact that being blind in ss13 is just awful, actually the worst. Much of the job restrictions come from ooc reasons as well to make sure the job can actually be done in a sane timeframe for what they need to do.

Lore Impact (Small/Medium/Large): Small Species: human/synth i suppose Short Description: Cyborgification is a biological processor. How will this be reflected on-station?: Adjustment of how the braincase works, no more memory suppressing diodes. Does this addition do anything not achieved by what already exists?: It removes a part of the lore that is literally too grimdark to interface with in any nuanced or meaningful way, and moves away from being 40k servitors to more a grim version of recycling. Do you understand that the project may change over time in ways you may not foresee once it is handed over to the Lore Team? yuh Long Description: Change the fluff of cyborgification to instead be that a brain is entirely and 100% dead with 0 personality before it is put inside, and that the brain itself is a purely biological processor. There are no diodes nor personality to suppress, there is no personhood inside. You're just a really cheap recycled component of a corpse. Remove emagging braincases to restore your personality and sense of self, remove the diodes, just have it be a brain in a case. Bonus is that now with it more of a somewhat morbid organ donation, you could give corporate benefit lore for people who opt for neuron reuse after death in bound machines. The code change is trivial, the lore change is trivial and the benefits allow for actual nuanced discussion of the morals of organ donation instead of 'do you want to be a 40k servitor' which the answer to that question is no to any character you can reasonably play. If it's just a dead brain in a thing that's being burnt up to help a machine think, it's just recycling matter that wasn't being used anyway. Fits in corporate dystopia without being 40k. P.S. fox on discord was part of a discussion that made me decide to post this P.P.S. i wrote this at 1am P.P.P.S generalcamo's devils advocating started the discussion and fox's corpo posting after inspired this thread

It's sort of a weird one because the CE also has authority over the AI and can reset it. Tbf I think that the AI is more just 'under the purview of Command' than anyone specific at this point, resetting it tends to be round critical enough that all captains, RDs and CEs can, and probably some OMs too. Like, I've seen Cap, RD, CE, and OM in different times reset the AI and all of it I've not felt the need to intervene in. Overall it seems to err towards the CE who innately handles all AI problems (usually because the CE has to be the one to actually break in)

Those who disagree with me are having their pay docked and reported to corporate. It is the burden of knowledge I bear, the burden of being right... A nearly entirely unused room that could be moved elsewhere for a checkpoint in a place that people actually use... History shall look upon this moment, community. Will they find you wanting?

Replace the janitor's SECOND office with a security checkpoint. It's in a primarily walked hallway, desk rp revived, and doesn't block off any critical pathways or anything. DESK RP SECURITY MUST COME BACK. THE CHECKPOINT RP MUST SURVIVE.

Doublepost: I would REALLY not like them to return to science, they're fine how they are. That's my personal opinion. Also I'm sure there's a uh, another 3 threads about this you could have revived.

It's been used on my IPC 5s before but otherwise I dunno. I could see it used in some very niche circumstances relating to an antag offship ipc who has no information to give or something or a crewmember ipc with a horrible virus. Having it on ship for those ultra niche circumstances is fine I think.

Title, pretty much. The RD basically has no uh, leeway in the rules anymore to even be using it or doing that kind of work so it should probably be given to the OM who could have formerly been a machinist. I know it's a never used item and still won't be in operations but it's more just for consistency post robotics to operations shift.

I feel sorta the point is how ascending through the corporation removes your own choice and control of your own life. You have backstabbed your very own culture to become a megacorporate slave, where you know so much NDA information that connecting to the Srom or having your thoughts read is a huge flight risk, hense the implant. I feel it's intended in the current design role, and not designed solely for ooc reasons, given that it was explicitly made to stop Skrellian shenanigans. Remember, corporate secrets are often things that states like the Federation should not be made aware of, and in places like the srom or telepathy you could spill things you couldn't otherwise. It protects non skrellian HoS and Captains, and directly acts as a reminder to a Skrellian Captain what they have sold out to become a megacorporate puppet. Captains are not your friend, they've sold their souls for corporate climbing.

Question Dreamy, if we ported glass flooring from /tg/station do you think it'd add to the cool factor of this ship? Pretty much on tg how it works is glass shows the turf below it zlevelwise, including space (which is great for observation ports) I beg of you if we're doing a remap please give us the gift of glass flooring for various cool interconnected feelings in some areas without removing walking space.

Reporting Personnel: Aayun Kaiser Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Chief Engineer Personnel in Question: Ashi Firetalon Job Title of Personnel in Question: Engineer Reason for Review: [x ] - Extended Arrest History [x ] - Grievous Infraction on Record [x ] - Other: Not being an 'ex' pirate but very well a pirate. Notes: Ashi Firetalon has been committing a spree of crimes in the last few shifts including the dealing of narcotics, assault of crew and inability to follow orders. As an 'ex' pirate they should at least be attempting to pretend not to be a criminal who breaks into the bar to steal all of their butanol drinks. Furthermore they are a convicted murderer, and titled Guwan as according by their security records, further adding to their trend of unacceptable behaviour. Your response is appreciated, due to the extended nature of the behaviour a review request is ideal.
