races like humans I'd love if on inspection you had a little thing saying 'looks like age X', it could be as close to their real age as they wanted but inspecting someone and then having to go through a long ass bio or a desc that doesn't exist at all and judging if someone is old by the greyness of their hair. Of course species like skrell might only be able to tell age of other skrell because of y'know. Vaurca probably have no visible age at all, but still I think it'd be an interesting addition to be able to tell age OTHER than desc or record diving

Love your answers, nothing to add more yet but these all satisfy what I was wondering. As a bonus round of deceptively easy yet not questions: What do you think best qualifies yourself for this position? What do you think will be your biggest flaw going forward? Describe your favourite frog sound.

I gave my good luck on your previous skrell app stuff and I'll do it again here, I think you're one of the most passionate people about skrell on the server, and also it will be incredibly funny to have 'Hugh Anus' the Skrell Maintainer. You have no Maintainer experience and are gonna start off in the deep end as a Maintainer with no deputies, how do you feel about how that looks? What will you be looking for in your deputies with no existing team? Do you think you'll handle the pressure and denying people well? If someone who is your friend applies but you know their skill isn't appropriate to the role would you be able to deny them? How do you feel you'll work in a team, as Skrell lore is close to IPC and directly interacts with human and dionae and C'thur Vaurcae lore regularly? How do you feel Dionae are represented in the Federation currently? Do you want to change how things are, and the relations there? How do you feel about the current human/Skrell relationships with one another, do you want to change anything there? How do you feel about current Skrell/C'thur relationships and do you want to change anything? Is there anything you want to tweak about Glorsh or current effects of Glorsh?

[mod-edit: removed a personal attack against the quoted person] exactly, for example if we merged surgeon and physician we might not have physicians who are masters at surgery, engineers who maybe are better at the engine than engineers who are good at wiring - the reality is that this shows an actual difference in characters. I mean shit, sec could have people take only whatever makes them better at valids but maybe one guy in sec is a super good chef, or maybe they know basic first aid. TL;DR this is long overdue

This is a workplace that you can sleep and live at with all your needs attended with a personal hired chef and anything else you'd reasonably need though, with reasonable cryochambers too - even a bar and a pool

title so the thing is I think that roboticists are rad but their transhumanist aspect can't really be explored much - if they could print some of the loadout augs, maybe some fluff augs from R&D and whatever it'd add a lot. I'd adore having my characters ICLY get an integrated timepiece because they're sick of having a watch etc etc. I dunno I'm writing this more on impulse right now but I think that Robotics would benefit massively in terms of the theme and feel behind them with transhumanist things they can do besides asking people if they want their lungs torn out or want to amputate a limb y'know? Maybe robotics get a way to turn organs into assisted organs? That could be cool as a fluffy surgery too

holodeck would be optimal yeah but a wider holodeck would have to be entirely remapped for every option, a place etc etc - in short don't expect it until NBT probably

Would you be for merging physician and surgeon? I mean you yourself made a pretty good argument for it and the divide is kinda weird and pointless

it is OBJECTIVELY superior to play massive chess since people can spectate and because you can rp being harry potter edit: anyone who votes for dismissal hates fun

as it stands it is obviously far superior in every objective way to play with pieces as big as a Unathi thus we should move it to a more public area, or make it a free to access little path through maintenance with some pathing and access unlocked doors. I was thinking it could go up near the pool since it's such a low traffic area, or perhaps chuck it in the bar since half the tables are never used anyway

i like golems because they have no rights, flashbacks to the lynching of golems on the holodeck observed by everyone as the captain just stared and gave tacid approval

pog thread with pog suggestions laser pointer finger, for some kind of job. it's an augment that lets you point at stuff, with a laser

For context every other corporation does not get anything that provides even a remote mechanical advantage currently. every other corporation is purely aesthetic difference from the base jobs on station, besides Zeng Hu. This is wacky using races isn't a good argument, we all know unathi are insane in combat, taj get their spines etc etc. species balance and design decisions =/= contractor balance and design either zeng hu remains as is and the other contractors get some kind of mechanical difference, or zeng hu's differences need to be only aesthetic. but if it is the former, that needs to be a codified decision from the dev team, otherwise it will remain nebulous like it is rn

absolutely my point, trying to encourage people to play a faction because they are mechanically superior is fucking insane and a total hack fix of not having enough aesthetic sprites or interesting lore to back them up

it's super weird that zeng hu get some rp fluff things that NT can't use since we're all under the same umbrella of the SCC and it would logically be pretty easy to just rip an augment out of a zeng hu employee who defected and backwards design the implant. plus it was a really weird and hamfisted way to force people to play zeng hu contractors - while giving nothing unique to Hephaestus or NanoTrasen or even Idris. it sets a weird precedent that people from different companies get a literal mechanical advantage (telescopic eyes for paramedic for example), and makes balancing super wack. companies should have a draw for their themes and aesthetic, not for their gameplay advantage but things that should remain company specific are things that actually represent the company, the zeng hu face plate is a rad example of something that represents the company and is a really interesting concept, IRU coats, etc etc.

I think that surgeon and phys should be merged then we can have some sort of nurse role and a generalized doctor role, that's my hot take - until then we do not need a need a nurse role

I agree with Cybs, it's fine as is atm because anything more severe than a really basic wound will not heal - and bleeding won't just 'magically heal' this thread is out of touch lmao

You had an extremely spicy comment by a team member of human lore in your last applications. Since human and synthetic lore work so closely, do you forsee any difficulties? Your passion is extremely obvious and I wish you luck regardless of your answer to the above, I have no idea how different your platform is on simpthetics from Lancer, but you'd be fine with that and he's gold with different opinions anyway. Given I already asked a lot in your last app I won't drill you with those or too many more, tho you could ping me on discord if you want more to flesh out any areas. I should note I hold no resentment from back then with tensions on the Dionae team and don't think it's a fair thing to hold against you from Schwann's rather scathing post last time. Shit happens

Thanks so much for your thoughtful replies, good luck buddy and I hope you get it.

Hi Desven! You're undoubtedly one of the most active bug players and a pretty chill person (I fucking hate you) So a few things. On the platform of fixing up the wiki: this is based and it's what I wanted to do when I applied for bug, please do this if you get accepted. What do you think on avowals? Do you believe any nature of them should be changed? What do you think about VR as it stands, and the life cycle (resleeving included) that Vaurcae endure? Would you like more Ta influence on station from other hives? Sometimes there are some really meme worthy shitty Viax that appear, but are within the lore. Is there anything you think needs to change there in how it is written to make this less common? Could you write a short story about a Vaurca's first memories of being shoved into a body after VR? Just a little writing sample. What is currently the biggest flaw in Vaurca lore atm? Finally: What is your biggest weakness as a writer? What is your biggest strength as a writer?

I think this is a good idea, namely because it means that Robotics don't get infinitely cucked just because they'd get banned for touching the destructive analyzer. What does this mean for esoteric tho? Currently the only way to get it is a lucky drop from mining to grind, or from cargo, or an antag. Is it just becoming baseline but the related products getting tuned up?

I adore holopads, one should be in the expedition shuttle to call home though (unrelated) on topic I love the idea of a fucky red hologram popping up in security to threaten someone
