No, no, no. No. This is not a suggestion that will let such griefers/insane people to magically escape the justice. Yes, insane, no one should just try to shatter windows and stuff, just to avoid a 30-minutes charge and a fine. That's badRP. Just ahelp to have them ease up. I wish baldies didn't exist, and let's pretend they don't. This suggestion will let the legitimate roleplayers have a chance at providing themselves, and others, some good fun. Unless, being left alone in the solitary room is fun? Sometimes it's justified, but not fun for literally anyone. Like some heister who's just lying there on the bed, in solitary room. Or a cultist. Usually the circumstances allow security to straightjacket them. But, the straightjacket is usually an absolute game-ender for the antagonist. I'd rather be killed and never cloned, than be forced to wait for the crew transfer or someone to show some mercy and pay me a visit in solitary. Corrected it for you. Just remember that not everything that's good, efficient and nice for your character, is also fun roleplay for everyone else. Unless, you would like to send every offender and wrongdoer to Odin, to get rid of them. Wouldn't that be realistic? Let's give antags a chance, can we?

Reporting Personnel: Zuleika Xrimqil-loix Rank of Reporting Personnel: Head of Personnel Personnel Involved: Vengar Ra'iaxka, Security Officer; Chun Liang, Captain, witness; Time of Incident: 05 April 2458, Tau Ceti Standard Real time: ((2016-04-05, round started around 19:15 GMT)) Location of Incident: EVA space, departures Nature of Incident: [X]Workplace Hazard [X]Accident/Injury []Destruction of Property [X]Neglect of Duty []Harassment []Assault [X]Misconduct []Other _____ Overview of the Incident: The unathi, after Central Command announced a carp threat, and after grabbing a breacher suit, charged these carps with a SPEAR. A glass spear, yes. Probably vandalised some windows to get that one, too. Later, the unathi also tried to fight the COMBAT DRONES. With a spear, too. He risked his life, claiming he's doing it for "honour". I was walking down the hallway, when I saw some lasers being fired in the departures lounge. The Unathi was there, apparently scraping paint off the drone with his spear. I've seen him get downed from the fire, stuttering and cursing on the security radio channel, saw his blood in there. Miss Chun Liang arrived there, after the unathi asked for help. She tried to fight the drone off, only scaring it away for a moment. When the unathi somehow gained some strength, "from his ancestors" as he said, he tried to destroy the drone, the NanoTrasen's property, again. With a mere glass spear, of course. Somehow, he succeeded, with the help of others. I find such behavior unsafe and stupidly dangerous. Imagine the costs of reparation of the suit, the loss of a drone, and not even mentioning the cloning that could have been necessary. Did you report it to a Head of Staff or IAA? If so, who?: --------- Additional notes: Miss Chun Liang allowed me to put her here, as a witness. She did indeed try to save that unathi, using her standard issue energy pistol.

I-is it bad?

Ugh. I just didn't want to clutter the thread with really long posts full of quotes and citations. I also wanted to answer/reply/state my opinion about the things You and Nanako brought, without confusing any potential readers. The Senior Officer title would be nice, however. I mean, I didn't want to insult You with my crap, or anything.

I'm just a dog, okay?

How about no. Before we changed to bay-code, we've had three surgery rooms. You just had to cooperate with people just outside of your medbay, you know, talking to people. If one OR wasn't enough, you could always ask a friendly surgery-trained geneticist/biologist to lend you his advanced surgery table for a minute or two. You could always use the robotics lab table, or even ask research and engineering to build you a new one, wherever you like. Also, you're not supposed to heal everyone in the most efficient way, everytime something happens. If you can't operate now, just give the patient some painkillers, stabilize his vitals and have him bite a pillow. You could also actually talk to him, and not just treat him like an NPC dummy or an optional quest, heal and throw out of the medbay after you're done. Or, you could just let the patient die, euthanasia or something, sometimes it's better to just let someone die, considering that dying is a part of the game, too. Or, as I earlier described it, you could prepare before-hand, just before shit hits the fan. If there's a few surgeons with nothing to do, have cargo or research print out some surgery tools for then, have atmospherics fill empty oxygen tanks with sleep-gas. If it's really needed, you can just operate on a rolling bed. Everything you need is already there. You just need to use it properly, and not have the staff and devs spoon-feed you.

How would you all like to accomplish it? So, you want to make playing here a chore for some people? Do you really want to have five (not really, but it's a good comparision) good security officers, and one hundred cadets that won't even think it's worth it to play long enough to get promoted to a security officer by a HoS that's not even always there? What if these few security officers want to play an other role, like a medical doctor? I can't even imagine these dead hours or mid-tide hours, where no one joins security because no one was allowed to. This is great and well-thought, but it's impossible to do. All this schooling and training, I'm afraid you're taking it too seriously, Redfield. I'd rather have some mediocre officers, mixed with an occassional baldie and a few senior security officer, than just empty security.

I guess, I oppose. Dying out of hunger (not literally, I mean other consequences) after 30 minutes since the last meal is going to be an annoyance, not a nice gameplay feature. It will make chef's job more fun, at the expense of everyone else's fun levels. But, what I propose is: Make diversity pay off. Eating junk food at obscene quantities shouldn't make you sated, it should make you puke and sick. However, eating a slice of really nice cake, or a luxurious sandwich filled with cheese, meat and vegetables and other healthy stuff, should make you feel good, and maybe even provide minor bonuses to a character, with a cooldown to disallow spamming like hyperzine of course. Especially species-specific things, like these K'oi's (or whatever, vaurca food) should make the vaurca move faster for a while, or liggers being stronger for a few punches, after eating some meaty-meat. Just some thoughts.

That's kinda true, I guess? Unless I'm playing engineering myself, engineers usually just seem to be a bunch of asshole'y hardasses that think they're allowed to go about anywhere and do about anything, thinking they're gods and the station is their playground, just because they're so important to the station. Examples include hacking into departments without asking first. Nonetheless, I enjoy some engineering characters, including Nikov's CE.

Yeah. I can never understand you, people. These are just a few veterans/old-timers claiming that they're leaving (that despite my, and the forum mods annoyance, cannot be moved to off-topic), with a few more veterans/old-timers saying 'fuck you' or 'who are you'. I guess, you all forgot to display your willingness to "fuck voltage/pump", to show that you're the "cool" kids here. If that's what you call a joke, step up your game.

There's 37 pages of suggestions, 904 fucking topics, countless replies. Many of them didn't get implemented/completed. Let people discuss things, let them dream. Secret extended is fine to me. Do we really need a mandatory traitor every round, can't we all just roleplay normal employees on a normal station we are working at?

I'm suggesting exactly the opposite of this request. Don't put in absolutely any breakrooms inside the departmental areas, but have the shared, common space bigger. This would encourage people to come out of their departments and roleplay with other people. Make them socialise in the bar, chapel, gardens, etc., rather than to just sit besides the same three crew monitoring/ cameras/ whatever/ alarm consoles for two hours. Not everything that's convenient and comfortable is good.

Powergame: the gamemode. I can already see engineering maxing out the engine and setting up lots of shields. Or every edgy validhunter from security walking around with guns in hands, constantly taunting the intruders. Or medical with their cryo-pods filled with lots of peridoxan, clonexadone and various other chems. Or science mass-producing overpowered mechs, bombs and technology. Or cargo ordering weapons, weapons and more weapons, supplying everyone with overpowered LWAP's. Or command ready to swipe for ERT and emergency shuttle shortly after the first announcement. Not even mentioning that anyone may have stun-gloves, a stun-prod or some chloral hydrate in their backpack, or even a macro /say "; help, they're killing me", so hostages are out of the game, only killing. And civilian departments just sitting there bored, waiting for the death to come. Nonetheless, that would be nice as another alien-like murderboner event, but not an everyday gamemode, especially on HRP server we are.

Ugh, well. I mean, you should probably show that you can do some SS13-like, not-medieval-like things.

If I'm using the right words: that's tip-toeing around laws. If the AI purposefully electrifies these doors, counting on the crewmember's unwillingness to injure themselves, but the crewmember touches the door anyway, that's exactly what harming them means and/or not not serving them. The AI didn't just electrify these doors, knowing that no one's there to shock themselves, and then the crewmember accidentally shocked themselves without the AI knowing or planning it. The AI did it to fuck with the crew. A good analogy would be an AI that bolted down all of the doors on the station, and then said "Well, crew, you never told me to not bolt down every door on this station, it's your fault".

These are some really diverse skills. I think I've seen her arrive as a xenobiologist. It's just weird to see your boss (captain/RD/CMO) do a such low-paid job.

This is wrong. Bound synthetics are in no way unable to lie under their laws. Technically, they only need to tell the truth regarding matters relating to that persons job, or in relation to their other laws (Crew and station safety). So, if a Medical Doctor asked what Security was doing in the Brig, the AI could lie and say they were having a disco party. However, if they were directly ordered not to lie, then they would have to tell the truth. It can be assumed Command staff have immunity from this ability to be lied too, as the entire station is technically in some way, every Head's concern in regards to their rank and role, unless specifically specified by the Captain. Perhaps, I did not word it correctly. What I meant to say there, IC in the eyes of the normal non-research (and therefore stupid) crew, AI's are just programs, without any ability to "think" or "feel". Corporate AI's are there to serve the crew, to protect them and stuff. AI's also don't break or malfunction on regular basis, and even if that happens, it was probably some stupid bespoke written by some kid in his mom's basement. So, there's no reason to not believe an AI during a normal shift. Unless you're some kind of a paranoid fuck, that is.

Literally nothing. It's just that people apparently do not like the supermatter. That's it. No matter how easy or hard it is, people just don't like it.

You can. By faxing CC, that is. When I'm a head, I'm always against calling anything without faxing Central first. But, if Central Command wants you to stay on the unpowered, heavily understaffed station because... Reasons, I guess. You may just want to call the shuttle. Also, I wasn't there, but a traitor leaving bombs around on that unpowered and heavily understaffed station, without anyone there to repair the damage he caused, and no one to catch him, is the same game-ender as releasing singularity, overheating supermatter or calling nar'sie is. You just can't really do anything after these happen. Unless you want people to hide in their departments, praying for a crew transfer vote and having 'fun'. Or, unless you want people to metagame and have your doctors and scientists repair breaches and validhunt that traitor.

SOMETHING LIKE THIS? From the creator of Shells: things that will never happen. I wish Jack didn't leave.

I wouldn't want people to get forcefully put into cryo with all of their equipment they had. Imagine the missing security belts, stamps, all the nice things. It's not that hard and time consuming to strip an SSD person off the things you don't want to disappear and dragging them to cryo.

That's how it used to work on old-code: Autoinjectors are small and easy to use for everyone, they can only 'contain' five units of liquids. You just stab one into someone's arm, without any delay or waiting, unlike with normal syringes. Therefore, you can only use one once, before it breaks. And you use a syringe to carefully empty it, and to fill it with whatever poison you want. You can find lots of them in injector boxes, all around the medbay, on old-code these were full, not empty. These are useful for EMT's. There's also a hypospray, only available to the CMO. It's a syringe loaded with tricord, that's delay-less just like injectors.

Best=/=good. Just mind that, Malcolm.

You're calling it a security oversight. I'm calling it a good feature. See that baldie who just jumped down disposals? Great, now NanoTrasen can mark him as mentally unstable, fine his family, charge them for cloning and medical care, do some more money-oriented things, and then finally fire him. 10/10
