Overpowered is prettymuch a non issue for a hrp server, we gota have reasons for giveing security a super op deathblaster that doesnt require him to get it unlocked by warden to even be able to fire it. Like with artifacts we find outside station, or with like xeno botany\science most of it is just fluff to have something to roleplay about. The instant we think about useing deathblaster 2000 to kill antags, then we have allready failed.. its not a self defence weapon nor something that should be given to security at all, infact it should probebly be keept secret and only be fluff rp to be said given to odin or and aurora\nt's military... not to be used other than testing its leathailty vs mankeys. ---- Rowboats on the other han is allmost like the maint drones, tools to be used, that follow AI, of corse can be corrupted but then will do the same as before following the new instruction guidelines. Since there is no military\security rowboat ingame (or at least enabled), the other robots really doesnt have anything in a vs antag situation todo other than vs npc antags like blob\wines.. they arnt there to engage with antag, and i don't even consider them crew despite playing them alot. To me robots \stationbouns are there for the lazy player to skip all the rp and focuseing on doing the hard\repeative tasks for us that likes to work, and repair the station without haveing to deal with interaction... other than following the lawset, even moreso when it comes to AI.. bit shame it was whitelisted.

Or they will double down on it, as its very engageing roleplay, imagine all the involvement.. oh your passport shows you have a differnt haircolor.. or let me do a x-ray and spotting your illegal stuff on person.. time for a inspection by security.

Carver, now i think your really trolling, Hacking into areas where you don't have access, even if its a non secure\trash area like maint behind your department is boink reson... with only exeption is if you got access. This is not my assumtion or guessing, its what admins litterally have said. Think ill end my responses here, also i recomend you avoid hacking anything outside of beeing a engineer with a valid reson. Else (powergameing, hacking into area without access and so on boink by admins)

Security checkpoint gona be in use of start of round? also make sure spawn cryo is outside it, (can still have cryo inside for convinience of leaveing). ..now... ---- Passport Please. Work permit is required. also look for a suspicious person wearing sunglasses.

space soap that can remove blood, oil, perfectly clean cloths and what not... im not sure if your trolling, but soap in real life just gets dirt off your fingers, most don't work on oil, but ill grant you it can remove oil off your fingers, but trying to use it as for washing cloths or cleaning floors... eeh.. gona just be helping smear it all over the floor. Whats not so unbeliveable is people hacking into maint, wich should be a IC offense and not a boink reson (assumeing not hacking into a restricted area, like other departments. Same with how chemmasters work in this game, seperateing plantmatter from drugs virsa versa clicking to see what a chemical does... a monkey could do this, to get 100% pure bananium. Hardest job for anyone to naturally find their way trough is probebly robotics and circutry. But yea, gona requires some pretty heavy chemicals to disintergrate every stain one comes across.

isnt there a medical belt they can use aswell?

Wouldnt mind spawning as a prisoner character of corse would understand it wouldnt work without security but still

I must say im sorry for not interacting with bob, i allways fear interacting with bob, john, jane when it comes to rp. But i give a +1 because iv seen you around alot and you seem to know what your doing.

If skills could affect how long it takes to do something in game and risk of a straight failure would be nifty. BUT other than that, i don't see any point of this, as peoples Background should be sufficent.. pluss there rarely is new people that survive a system where they can pick skills up to the average and not get boinked for cross-department skills, or thinking they can use the chem-master in community garden to seperate and make designer drugs because they got a professional in chemistery skill... not to mention there are no skills for cleaning \ janitorial.. despite in real life its a full fledged job that requires years of studying as even simple things as spray cleaners may contain chemicals and have correct place to be used with safetygear in mind aswell.. so not just anyone ingame thinking oh department looks messy, no need to call for janitorial when i can just get a soap in bathrooms or like iv seen some rounds a robot opening to janitorial so people can get what they need to clean.... IN my opinion cleaning blood\oil off the floor should be worthy of same boink as hacking into maintainance without beeing a engineer or beeing on gunpoint or hired by antag WITH appropriate backstory of beeing able to do so in characters background.. maybe they went engineering but decided to change jobs, re educate.. thus could have in exploitable info that they can do these things, thus keeping within character that theyr capeable but not able to do it regulary because of powergameing\metagameing rules, but as a exeption... anyway back to point Cleaning off blood has bio risks, cleaning up oil requires special cleaning equipment.. one cant just rub soap on it (other than if the character is Janitor, as they may know how to use a soap for that purpose, special super special janitorial training or it just beeing space soap that can do it) ALSO wouldnt mind seeing soap use without gloves, give burns or chemical burns or somthing on hands if used a few times (very light damage, insignificant, but just to give people a hint.. dont use cleaning stuff)... same with space cleaner, protective googles, so if one walks into the spray one can get temp blinded, or get breathing problems that can build up if one uses it alot and not staying out of the spray... like normal cleaning spray.. your not suppose to breath it inn! ---- Anyway long point short: Kill the skill tree system

I skimmed trough the lore, honestly don't see a problem with this. (shrugs)

Restocking should probably be in janitorial with all the other restocking (including the missing zota one(vaurca machines)). Also i fully agree that Librarian or and other jobs that start in library should have a locker to put stuff inn. (in my opinion most departments should have this, and not have it at front, Hydroponics at door changeing is not very sfw, my point is probebly should expand or change library for a tiny locker room, with a sink\mirror\locker\toilet.

why not just have a ai per department limited to department exept when used in antag where they try to break down like you said firewalls and stuff towards other departments.

Dying to see the new map and yea, think we all had rough corona year Feel like kitchen and bar could be on east side along the maint wall, and have botany where bar is, with windows. That way botany can plant flowers on display when theyr not useing them for planting. Also feel that botany could be larger, maybe have the size in image + bar size, as its barely larger than community gardens, in terms of planting capability, or and maybe include a layout like xenobotany, as 2 working hydroponics\gardeners gets very cramped in current layout.

cant agree more, grills looks like actual window grills(bbq) and is just serving as somehow non blocking filling. Sometimes i wonder if i wish i could just fill a window with a fulltile window, exept for where a window is looking outside the station aka vacume, where it makes sense to have a bite buffer. (maybe even make it shocking type ) Tho iv relized Aurora building mechanics doesnt update enough tiles in a area when one builds something thats suppose to attach to things aroundit - carpet (these are the worst) - full window tiles and so on tho somehow regular wall tiles are not affected and connects to nearby tiles as far as iv seen (not that iv built any double thicc walls.

Kitchen could be fixed by haveing a community Kitchen available for anyone who wants to make food when there is no professional chefs about. Tho do understand that serveing alcohol even if one knows how to mix drinks, probebly isnt a good idea to let cargo has open access to in form of a OPEN bar A minikitchen near community gardens would be pretty nifty tho... a option But yes, i can imagine it beeing boring beeing HOP and locked away near command with litterally a job i don't belive does anything short of giveing accesses in special situations, wich may be never in case of most rounds, especially skeleton rounds that we tend to play in alot. Bri as HOP still functions a little in Cargo aswell, i see shuttle sometimes are on station despite me not calling it

+1, You definitively have the spirit of roleplay, and is good at teaching others how to play by simply existing. I hope you get greenlighted for this

unfortunately due to rules, i belive haveing a middlename or nickname isnt allowed on character other than on maybe a business card ingame and by people who know her can call her Ducky. But for everything else, seems like a very interesting character i definitively gona bump into. Also cool backstory wish i was good at writeing.

Seems like a good idea in theory, but i don't agree in practise. And as Prate said, theyr pretty much equipment. Tho i would like to see Sec boots re-added, and i wouldnt mind borgs haveing a 4 second remote door opening \ closeing timer, so they cant instant open or close remotely.. (infact i wish most doors would at least count as open as soon as door opening animation is started to let gasses trough, so people would be more realistic when it comes to useing inflateables, rather than just winging it by walking trough and closeing before air that would go at speed of sound gets anywhere..

I like this alot, then people who doesnt want to be part of whatevers going on, can move away, and i think antags needs to be able to go for a target without haveing to announce it on coms that theyr after sombody. so in this case they would at least feel stalked and notice something is wrong and offer many ways to be slightly paranoid, seeking help ect, i just see so many ways one can rp around it. its gona be interesting to see if it gets implemented.

+1 from me too, shes awesome to talk to adapting into situations pretty well, unlike me.

yes

Couldnt find or see any application regarding this position, iv worked in this position many times as Gina Valentine as Assistant and sometimes even been assigned by hop with the limited access to the one door button in the office. Wasnt any forms that seemed to fit it but here goes something. ---- BYOND Key: Eple Character Names: Gina Valentine, Rin Kawakaze, Primm Kameoka, Ayla Leonberger, Fahna Lu, Arca9D Job you are applying to play: Diplomatic Reception Application What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Probebly regular skincolor Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question. Why do you wish to play this specific Job: To assist the diplomat and or Liaison with office related work, such as getting stuff for them like coffee&food, orders from cargo(wich happends quite frequently when i worked there), and in general setup appointments, keep track of visitors and so on, iv made alot of custom paperwork for it over the time iv played. Identify what makes role-playing this job different than role-playing a assistant: Get the convinience of pressing the buttons on the desk, other than that there are no other differences. Character Name: Ayla Leonberger Please provide a short backstory for this character Currently working as a Cargo Technician, but feels out of place at her current job and probebly have made a mistake in her life as science is alot more challengeing and dangerus than she immagined. Shocked by crates, attacked by bats to name a few. She is more of a office type of character, and thus she applies for this position. What do you like about this character? Shes generally fun to play, and i get inn alot of long conversations with Buck, Sam and alot of other crewmembers, this is probebly the closest i can get to HRP, well in my opinion anyway. How would you rate your role-playing ability?: Medium-low Notes:

Reporting Personnel: Ayla Leonberger Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Cargo Tech Game ID: b0A-bLPg Personnel Involved: - Burt Muldoon, Chef: Witness (Also signed my report ingame) - Choir Of A Dying Star, Bartender: Possible Witness - Cygnus Rey, Chief Engineer: Offender Time of Incident: No specific time can be provided. Real Time: 2:00 PM, 13/12/2020 Location of Incident: Holo and cargo Nature of Incident: [ ] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [ X ] - Destruction of Property [ X ] - Neglect of Duty [ X ] - Harassment [ ] - Assault [ X ] - Misconduct [ ] - Other Overview of the Incident: Two complaints, one regards towards me (Ayla Leonberger), where early in this shift i called inn that there was space bats in warehouse, he ran by kitchen when i had a small break commenting in a negative tone that i wasnt at work because of the bats. I told him that i was only at kitchen to get something to eat and pickup the kitchen bounty, He took it upon himself to clear the bats, wich is fine, but then made a second remark for me to get back to work. Second complaint is that he took it upon himself to build a second bar in holodeck depriveing everyone from entertainment, i belive Burt Muldoon (Chef) took this very negative aswell, i have not spoken to bartender but i cannot see how a second bar will attract more customers in a allready skeleton crew sized shift. I belive Chef spoke to him about this and Cygnus Rey (Chief Engineer) took down the bar near two hour mark, also worth noteing, none of the engineering related bountys was completed. Actions taken: None Additional Notes: None

As for the powergameing standpoint, that is still bit unclear to me as the term is broader than daylight as it doesnt seem to adress the booze i intended to smuggle as that was more towards just figureing out the id wire, so then i guess the last post kind of covers that with that authorization from ce is probebly something everyone should at least require, if ce isnt just telling it from blueprints, i mean i like rp'ing with the different ce's But just to be safe, ill quit criminal activity, seeing that its not possible anyway, hah

hmm seems like different admins have different opinions and this leads to confusion, its the reson why i included Gina as a example. ---- Hopefully i got this right: Maint can be considered completely off limits for anyone not a <engineer with a reson to go there, fix hullbreach ect> (exeption: radiation storm, or against ones own will (antag at gunpoint ect) Does that sum up that part correctly. Hacking doors is just the means to get there, so in my case it would be a non factor in the above statement as if maint is unaccessable, learning to hack doors kind of become moot, as one would never hack into any department... but just to be clear, and hopefully i got his right too just so were crystal : Hacking doors is completely off limits for anyone not a <engineer with a reson to do it, fix hacked doors by antags ect> (exeption: against ones own will (antag at gunpoint ect)) and just to include Vending machines (as i work in engineering i see them hack vendors and doors roundstart to map it out instead of doing like me and ask the chief engineer to check the blueprint, wich i guess would be the way to go about it, sorta like warden or hos authorizeing unlocked guns or something), so : Hacking Vending machines is completely off limits for anyone not a <engineer with a reson to do it, fix hacked vending machines by antags, or to fix them shooting cans ect> (exeption: against ones own will (antag at gunpoint ect)) ---- I guess like i just said, chief engineer does have blueprints so maybe they should be asking him when doing these things instead of just going trough wire by wire. (for extra challenge, remove insulated gloves completely) ---- If this is correct, then you wont see me hack a door again, unless of corse the obvious exeptions if those were on point aswell.
