Remove Traitor Mice (and maintenance drones)
Dreamix replied to Dreamix's topic in Completed Projects
They better start being affected by that pull :^) -
What the fucking fuck. That sounds awesome, really. If you're adding switches, firewalls and AP's, don't forget about adding routing and packet simulation (just joking, of course). And custom HTML sites. Imagine browsing the actual extranet of forum IC posts in-game. I'm actually learning switching and routing so this will be fun the day it gets done. If ever. Through, three IT guys seems a bit excessive. Maybe just an administrator and his special assistant?

The second screenshot. That's meeeeeeeeeeeee. And yeah. How about no. Red has style. Red has grace. Red makes you have a nice face. Red is badass. Blue is generic and boring. Blue clothing 'mixes' and 'blends' itself with other dark things, like floor or snowflake custom loadout clothes. Can we just stay red.

Return borg movement while in emergency backup power and revamp it a little
Dreamix replied to CakeIsOssim's topic in Archive
I'd rather go the balance way. Only movement. So, when the borg loses power for whatever reason, it has to wander aimlessly around until it finds someone else or a recharger. Until then, it's dead silent, making its location and reason for power loss a mystery for everyone else until they fix it. That would be a nice mechanic, instead of a "help help emp traitor" if radio always works. -
Ultimately, people are stupid and don't know what they want. - surgeon - The only reasonable choice. - crisis - People who main crisis borgs and want to see as much action as possible, while being as useful as possible. Essentially, people who want everything good for whatever they're playing. It's like asking security if they want guns (of course they do, because they're biased). - both - Same as above, except that people also want it as convenient as possible.

Remove Traitor Mice (and maintenance drones)
Dreamix replied to Dreamix's topic in Completed Projects
Noice. What about drones? -
^^title^^ For mice, reasons are obvious. Maintenance drones are also kinda shitty to get traitor. A player should not join a drone to get an easy-traitor. Drones have all-access, and are never suspected of being a round antagonist. Drones aren't even meant to be roleplayed, they even have a law that makes them avoid any interaction with any non-drone being. They're an addition to the core game (that is: humanoids +AI and borgs), ex. for the player who wants to spend the last thirty minutes of the round replacing light bulbs or doing some other trivial things. Are mice and drone traitors even possible? Yes, they are. At least on auto-traitor.

What the hell, people. A small fire extinguisher that only has 3 (just three) shots is too much? It cannot be used to validhunt or anything, as it's only three shots. And validhunt should be ahelped and dealt with by the admins, anyway. The extinguisher will mostly be used to cool down a random baldie who set himself on fire, or to return to the station in case of small mistake of a borg slipping and flying away during a EVA patrol or something. All borgs had fire extinguishers on old-code, and no one ever really complained.
-
No. Characters on-station should not be whoring themselves with each other. They should all be decent enough to not sex each other on their first meeting or to do it off-station after they get to know each other. This "fade to black" thing is very close to meta-ERP through Skype or something.
-
Well, AFAIK, or just on old code, you can endlessly swap two power cells between cell charger and an APC powering that charger, while still having some energy to spare. So, yeah, power is broken anyway. That's a +1

[RESOLVED] Staff Complaint-DatBerry
Dreamix replied to Bygonehero's topic in Staff Complaints Archive
The IPC's aboard the Aurora lack both a binary modem and a law computer. That's a requirement for building them mechanically on this server. This means that they cannot be remotely accessed. They're like a computer with no network connection. If your character were an omni-competent super-ninja, why would they have the job that they have, and not be out leading special operations squads for NT or taking over the galaxy? I like my quotes. Just saying. -
[Accepted] IPC Whitelist - Chaznoodles
Dreamix replied to Chaznoodles's topic in Whitelist Applications Archives
+1 I love Chaz, he actually has a brain, and is using it to roleplay believable characters. I also love the character itself. Might want to explain how the he got created and then hired by NT, just a short mini story, as I already trust you to pull it off. And expand the speech (or later touch the topic In-game) with synthetics being just programming and hardware, easily being modified or copied, where only organics get attached to them with their brains being tricked into thinking that these synths are sentient or some other shit. +1 -
Yay. That day, I saved a soul.

And we also have people naming these cyrogenics. Duck these people. +1

When people think that the costest is fully ic. "id do anti synth cause I like racism rp and shit but my chars are pro synth. Shame" Or when people were voting for equality-liking parties during the elections because of their characters. Damn, sons. Elections were strictly ooc. You got a vote per player not per character. If you like playing characters rebelling against racism and corporations "using" their xeno employees, you don't vote for equality and fairness, but for more interesting racism and shit rp. Same with the antag contest. Just tell my why you want pro synths to win. For boring hugbox role play of "psychological" talks? Or because you want your cringe cat robots to snuggle each other in peace? Or to play broken gimmicky hop ipcs or sheriff robots?Or to play broken gimmicky hop ipcs? Or any other shitty ipcs that would never be hired and belong in a museum? And let me tell you. The fucking IPC tags generated much, much more roleplay in their month or so of existing than the pro-synth winning will ever generate.

You 'should' have a syringe and a beaker and it 'should' be possible to inject the patient with some sleep toxin. At least you could do that in old code, I think. Painkillers for surgery are unethical no matter how strong .

Which Faction Will You Fight For In The 2nd Antag Contest?
Dreamix replied to a topic in Lore Questions
Because the all-equality no-racism Polaris-style hugbox is interesting... I hate people. -
Delma has a point here. Why even care about mice. We're a HRP server about a station full of crew and a bunch of synthetics surviving all the shit badmins and rngjesus throw at them. There's no mice anywhere in-between. Majority, if not all, can agree that playing as rodents in SS13 is like buying some salt at McDonald's, when everyone around is enjoying their full meals of quarter-pounders and royales with cheese. You can do it, but it just doesn't work, should never work, and no one ever wanted or suspected it to work. Hell, if mice just were never added in, and someone suggested it right now, everyone would laugh at the idea of adding playable mice. Just think of it. And the idea of mice cutting cables is bizarre. I guarantee you, this will only annoy people. It's the rogue/broken vending machines-level of annoying-ness. People want things that enchance roleplay, not a forced game of cat and mouse. And don't even get me started on the antagonist mice. Imagine what nice things real antags could do. If not the metagame of not-validing-on-sight player mice, you wouldn't do any of that stuff. I just don't get it. Why even bother. At all. Get your priorities fixed, people.

How about making it a suggestion, so everyone can be racist? Just like the synthetic intelligence armband thingy.

Well. Cryo-tubes can be filled with a million different things. It would be safe to just assume that the cryo-fluid (the one you add clonexadone or dylovene into) is electrically conductive, instead of making a long list of (non-)conductive things and checking whether the cryo-tube will kill the IPC every time something is added to it. Example. If cryo-fluids are non-conductive, and I fill my them with ammonia, it should be safe for an IPC to cool down inside. Hovewer, when I fill it with water, or something like copper (?), it should kill an IPC. But, we can just avoid the problem entirely, by making the cryo-fluids conductive, and no matter what other chemicals you put into it, it will kill the IPC anyway. But that's just one way of doing things (which I like, yeah). You could just make it safe for IPC's to be inside, for a cheap or gimmicky (?) mechanic.
-
opinion discarded Thanks. That was just a fancy way of saying, and what I meant, is that the in-game actual player-controlled AI's aren't exactly these 100% perfect AI's. I wouldn't trust like, 75% of them.
-
What should happen is, the IPC dies when put into cryo. Because, either the cryo-fluids flood insides of the IPC, destroying its internal components (and computers don't like water, you remember?), or the IPC's cooling-vent-things close down and the IPC doesn't cool down in any way at all (dying, yup). Keep in mind that IPC's use air to prevent themselves from overheating, replacing air with water wouldn't work (unless you modify it's entire cooling mechanisms, but that would render the IPC unable to cool down using air). So, yeah.

Let me just reply to this one, because I have no idea what is all of you people's problem. If the AI says that someone is breaking into science, you go there. The AI opens a door for you, and you arrest/detain the breaking-in person because you saw them trespassing and breaking-in, and caught them red-handed. ^^^^That's the simplified version. If the person escapes before you come, the AI should print a photo of them breaking in, security should question and search that person, detectives investigate science for signs of crime. The AI is just an observer that's watching cameras 24/7. AI's aren't really 100% efficient, super reliable, perfect and always right. AI's have personality modules/cores that are supposed to judge, assess, evaluate or estimate the nature of crimes and other things, behave and think like a human, maybe act on randomness or something. If we went the realistic route, AI's would actually be 100% efficient and reliable and all that stuff. AI's would watch every bit of station, locking doors for people who don't have guest passes, sending small drones to tase the criminals, etc. Arrest warrants wouldn't be needed, and security would have actual authority that people would respect. Bar wouldn't exist. No one would oppose the captain and heads. Etc, etc. But we're still playing a game. Things need to be balanced and playable, yeah.

Hello, there. But, yeah. Engie borgs are OP, no need for that (and research module should be removed, IMO).
