Wrote two lore applications (1, 2). Helped some people do some things. Started planning a few things that I'll write later. ALSO initiated a new news event.

Galaxy Science News Network Source of all science news, everywhere. Anomalous star cluster discovered; NanoTrasen excited at prospect Yesterday, NanoTrasen's Deep Phase Exoastrology Array facilities, whose goal is to investigate star systems beyond the Frontier, detected large discrepancies in the expected data from a group of stars a few weeks off the current edge of the Sol Alliance. The arrangement, including nine stars, is yet uncharted - but early sensor data shows one star with at least seven heavy bodies, possibly planets, and another with a significant asteroid ring. Information about the nature of the anomalies, their general locations and the implications of them has not yet been disclosed. While they claim not to know, yet, exactly what causes the anomalies - NanoTrasen is said to be preparing an expedition to the newly-named Eucleian Verge for xenoarcheologic and geomineral analysis, and the Sol Alliance has already based claims on the systems present. Official comment was declined by both NanoTrasen public relations department and Sol Alliance officials. Should the expedition go smoothly, experts say that humanity may have outposts in that area of space as early as within two months - but without details, they report that it is difficult to know for sure. More information will be released when available. Alfred Hemmer, Journalist, signing off.

Closing and locking this as denied.

I love this. It's simple (the code is even in, I think; the security badge uses a similar tech, or the request consoles, or the xenoarch beemo) and it would be neat to see.

Oh man, this is the best submission I've seen in a while. +1 from me. Feel free to advertise, once per round, to OOC - so that you can get more approvals. As per protocol, a decision will be made on Sunday.

You've got good feedback, a good character and have shown willingness to play by the rules. Application approved, whitelist should be active - let me know if it's not. Enjoy!

Shameless plug of my research idea that involves custom-made weapons But yes, ballistics need more love.

Pitching in here. As a loredev AND a server mod, if I see any of you insinuate you follow Nazi doctrine, you will be banned. HOWEVER facist groups would most likely exist. They are not given much attention, because they'd be a) very minor and b) frowned upon as much, if not more than today. So mainstream groups have no chance of visibility, and as such in the existing lore there is no pre-defined fascist group. HOWEVER because of how loosely controlled it is, the outer-rim colonies and the frontier COULD be heavily influenced, if not governed by facist groups. Did that answer your question?

Tranq gun makes sense. Or even better - a pill gun. Load it with pills, and they get inserted inside people (with a minor amount of brute damage). That I would completely agree with. Beanbag shotguns would also make a lot of sense. Remote drone might be a little bit... hard to do, but still a decent idea. Door blocker I don't know. The cuff keys wouldn't work because you can't hold anything while handcuffed IIRC. Lilopin is a very good idea though I have to say. The circle cutter... I don't know. Glass, maybe (to get into the few places that AREN'T blocked off by a window-grille-window combo), but not walls. The torture kit, though. THAT'S what I'm talking about. Hammer can cause immense brute damage to legs, rusty knife causes brute and slight toxin, pliers add bleeding damage and cause pain - and of course, it HAS to come with a "power cell and clamp jumpers" item that's designed to just cause massive halloss.

Why though? Why do we want to give nukeops more guns? The point of the antag is not "shoot up motherfuckers with as many guns as you can". Give them more tools - that I could stand for. Various hardsuits. Actual valuables to trade. A little bit of bullshit info to get the crew in your greasy palm. Hell - that syndicate stasis pod was even an excellent idea for hostages/captures. But they don't need new guns. The CR-20 fills the purpose of "having a tool of brute force to either defend or force incentive for cooperation upon people". They don't need a fancy gun for the same job. So unless you propose a gun that serves a purpose that's not "have more ways to shoot the place up with", this proposition is a no. ON THE SUBJECT OF THAT: Net guns. A net gun is something I could agree with.

I love both ideas, but Skull's in particular. And if the "multiple mind in a single body" idea goes through, I'm totally getting a Vaurca whitelist just so that when I'm antag I can go around and steal the other vaurca brains

No. Nukeops already have enough weapons. And they're not supposed to be all high-tech, either. Plus, if NanoTrasen was any smart about their devices, they would have added a tracking beacon to the design of the device specifically to avoid theft. But yes - the last thing mercenaries need is a Lawgiver MKI. They need LESS weapons if anything. Because the way it is, I don't remember the last time the nukeops' plan wasn't "shoot down everyone and blow the nuke".

ALRIGHTY. Your application is decent - however I hope you're aware that this DOES mean you most likely will start with an injunction against Night being any sort of doctor or anything that has access to the morgue. Though I have two questions: First, what was Night doing on a military station in the first place? Second (and it has no bearing on your application, I'm just... curious) how would you torture a Dionae? Regardless - you may advertise your application once per round in the server's OOC channel. Get a few more people vouching for you and you will be approved. Otherwise, within three days, I will make a decision by myself.

Whitelist approved and should be active. Enjoy, and let me know if anything goes wrong!

So. We're at the dawn of a new map, soon. And I have ideas. CHAPTER ONE: CHEMICALS PRODUCTION Basically, a whole chapter dedicated to making nefarious/useful chemicals. New machine: Blast Mixer. It contains two chambers - the inert "reaction chamber" where reagents go (capacity: 360 units) and the "blast chamber" where the blast compounds are inserted (capacity: 100 units). Blast units are as follows: 1 Blast Unit = 5 Plasma = 20 Nitroglycerin (10 glycerol 10 sulphuric acid 10 polytrinic acid) = 30 Cyclopropane = 1CL-20. Included is a scaling number - Scale 1 means that the blast units charge linearly (1 blast unit for 1 set of recipe, 2 blast units for 2 sets). Construction: One machine frame, 5x wiring, Blast Mixer circuit board, 1x Micromanipulator, 9x Cryobeaker, 1x Matter Bin, 5x Plasteel, 1x Console Screen. New available base chemicals available by grinding things: -Steel Powder. Grind one metal sheet to get 20 units of Steel Powder. -Glass Powder. Grind one glass sheet to get 20 units of Glass Powder. -Plasteel Powder. Grind one plasteel sheet to get 20 units of Plasteel Powder. -Platinum. Grind one platinum ingot to get 20 units of Platinum. -Gold -Silver New available reactions: -Treated Galalith: 50 Milk 5 Sulfuric Acid 10 Carbon 5 Plasma (catalyst) in a normal beaker = 20 Treated Galalith -Cyclopropane: 30 units Carbon, 60 units Hydrogen = 30 units Cylcopropane. 1 Blast Unit, Scale 0.5. -Steel Tempering. 20 units Steel Powder, 10 units Tungsten = 1 sheet "Tempered Steel", 1 Blast Unit. Scale 1.2 -Plasma Glass. 20 units Glass Powder,5 units Plasma = 1 sheet Plasma Glass. 2 Blast Units, Scale 1 -Plasteel. 20 units Steel Powder, 20 units Platinum. 1 Blast Unit Scale 1 -Dioxygen Difluoride. 20 oxygen, 20 fluoride = 10 units dioxygen Difluoride. 4 Blast Units, scale 1 -CL-20. 60 Carbon, 60 Hydrogen, 120 Nitrogen, 120 Oxygen = 10 CL-12. 8 blast units, scale 1 -Chlorine trifluoride. 10 chlorine, 30 fluorine = 10 Chlorine trifluoride. 4 blast units, scale 3 -Monohydric Pentoxide: 10 water, 90 Oxygen = 100 Unihydric Pentoxide. 1 blast unit, scale 2 -Tungsten Carbide: 10 units Tungsten, 5 units Carbon = 12 units Tungsten Carbide. 2 blast units, scale 0.8 -Silicon Carbide: 10 units Glass Powder, 10 units Carbon = 15 units Silicon Carbide. 1 blast unit, scale 0.8 -Aluminum Brass: 40 units Copper, 20 units Aluminum = 30 units Aluminum Brass. 1 blast unit, scale 0 -Corundum: 40 units Aluminum, 80 units Oxygen = 40 units Corundum. 6 blast unit, scale 0.5 -Electrum: 10 units Silver 10 units Gold 5 units Copper = 15 units Electrum. 1 blast unit, scale 0. -Tungsten-Copper: 20 units Tungsten 20 units Copper = 10 units Tungsten-Copper 10 units Tungsten 10 units Copper. 2 blast units, scale 0.5 -Hepatizon: 15 copper 1 gold 1 silver = 15 Hepatizon. 1 blast unit, scale 0 New Items/Chemicals: -Blast Mixer board: Standard circuit resources plus some steel. Used to make the Blast Mixer. -Treated Galalith: A reliable, strong plastic used in components research and construction. -Tempered Steel: used to make Tempered Walls. Constructed (and deconstructed) like normal walls), but is fireproof. -Cyclopropane: A stable but very explosive hydrocarbon. Is equivalent to soporifics when ingested. -Dioxygen Difluoride: Also known as "Satan's Kimchi", it is used for nefarious schemes components research. Violently burns if held outside an inert container, setting it's holder on fire. -CL-20: Also known under the names "Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane" and "why did you do this", CL-20 is a semi-stable kineto-sensitive explosive used in components research. It will violently explode when used outside of an inert container -Chlorine trifluoride: Also known as "the most likely candidate to turn a world to literal ashes", chlorine trifluoride is used for components research. It will violently set everything in a 3-tile radius on fire, destroying the beaker, if held outside an inert container. Creates an explosion when mixed with water. Most likely not a good idea to play with. -Monohydric Pentoxide: A volatile chemical used in components research. Combining one unit of monohydric pentoxide with one unit of monohydric pentoxide in a non-inert container results in 1 unit of water and 4 moles of pure oxygen gas. -Tungsten Carbide: An extremely hard material used in components research. -Silicon Carbide: A hard ceramic used in components research. -Aluminum Brass: A strong, tough material used in components research. -Corundum: One of the hardest materials available, it is used in components research. -Electrum: An impossibly conductive material used in components research. -Tungsten-Copper: An extremely hard and highly conductive metal matrix used in components research. -Hepatizon: A dark, highly conductive material used in components research. CHAPTER TWO: COMPONENTS RESEARCH Because let's face it, guns are fun. Instead of being stuck on modifying over and over a protopistol and making it universal, let's give actual ballistics some love too, and other components because it would be interesting. Plus it would moderate component spamming by giving them actual build time. New machine: Assembly Table: The table used to assemble and repair stuff (possibly giving valuable research in whatever was broken? Components break at random according to the reliability rate). Pretty much Protolathe++, aims to take the spaghetti protopistol components/assembly code out of the equation. Takes some time to complete an operation. Constructed with 1x machine frame, 5x wire, 1x weapon assembly board, 3x micromanipulator 2x matter bin 2x beaker. New items (all customizable because they're built on command): -Prototype Coilgun -Prototype Railgun -Prototype Ballistic Pistol -Prototype Rifle -Prototype Laser Cannon -Prototype Sniper Rifle -Prototype Carbine -Prototype Laser Rifle -Prototype Power Cell (Bonus point if Teranium is implemented as an ore) -Prototype Pistol Rounds (in Magazine) -Prototype Rifle Rounds (in Magazine) -Prototype High-Caliber Rounds (in Magazine) Function of Assembly Table: You insert materials/chemicals (because it would only accept "liquid" materials from beakers and built items, possibly components) into the machine just like a protolathe (possibly components, too, like lasers and sensors?). Using either a computer next to it or direct interface, a UI pops up. The UI starts with only one drop-down menu: Frame. Users select the frame, and thus can get into customization options - a full list of all frame and options (along with their cost requirement) can be found here (remember, all measures are in liquid units - so 5 plasteel isn't five sheets, but a quarter of a sheet): http://pastebin.com/zPdiyebc Once all mandatory (and whichever facultative) components have been set, the user clicks "Fabricate" and it would take some time to build the object. Inserting a pre-built object allows swapping/out components (if the component is intact, 75% of existing materials is recycled) so that a whole new device does not need to be made for tweaking or when it breaks. Thoughts?

IMO there should be four "levels" of it. Level one: The individual cannot be proven to have either the means or motive/willingness to harm the crew. Standard operating procedure applies. Level two: The individual can be proven, with evidence/statements, they they either have the means or motive/willingness to harm the crew. Raise alert level, individual should be watched closely. Level three: The individual can be proven to have both the means AND motive/willingness to kill the crew, or is actively harming them. A report should be made, and signatures would be needed (depending on who is available, the chain follows this order: Captain>HoS>HoP>RD/CMO/CE>Warden>Detective>3 Security officers>all available security officers, if less than three can sign). Following this, arrangements for containment (or an execution if containment is deemed impossible) should be made. Level four: The individual is actively killing crew. Red Alert, lethals are authorized.

I sort of forgot about this to be honest. So, the bottom of the story is, what would you have me do better?

So. I know rules and everything. But are we going to ignore the fact that the two characters were named after pasta? Fettuchini Rigatoni AKA wide spaghetti and the tube noodles

Personally I'd love for this to happen. I quite enjoy Raven's presence on the server, and they most certainly have the credentials for being a coder (I heard Minecraft is notoriously complex to mod for). Plus if they're down to learn mapping and spriting, I can teach them as well. That being said, I'm not a coder so I can only vouch for Raven's friendliness.

Just chiming in: Your lore apps sat without reply for several months because admittedly we were a mess. But if there is any other application that hasn't been marked as processed, let me know (and you're aware that The Clairvoyant was added, right?). I've been working on it. That being said, your ideas do legitimately have some merit and... dare I say, identity, and with a little help on how to actually write them down you would be quite a worthwhile addition to the team.

@SierraKomodo: that IS the case. However there IS no IPC overseer - I merely approve them to get things moving, as for the foreseeable future we plan on NOT having an IPC overseer - we feel the content we have on them is deemed sufficient to make people at ease with them, and so for now we're okay with it. But yeah, I'm marking this app as accepted. Enjoy, and let me know if the whitelist didn't kick in.

That would be amazeballs. Never again will I remove someone's liver because they had a popped lung and just happened to come in at the same time as a drunkard.

I personally quite like the concept of Xinic (even though they pretty much share your username/ckey). However you've had very little feedback on it - so while it's been open for... a while (beyond the normal operating range), I'll give you three more days to advertise your thread in OOC (once per round) to get feedback. If you do not get any feedback, I will mark this thread as denied. Best of luck!
