I wasn't there for whatever discussion there was for it, so here's my unbiased two bits. I don't like it being a title card because its not very tasteful. I'd personally prefer it to be removed, but I also don't think its the end of the world. Take a chill pill y'all, this is not that deep. Its difficult to say *exactly* what makes it distasteful because distasteful as a concept relies heavily on one's own personal preference. I'm struggling to find a way to articulate exactly why I find myself objecting to its placement in our lobby art.

Hazel has consistently shown quality mapping and code skills, the ability to learn and utilize new skills, teach others what they've learned, and worked collaboratively with others. She'd be a great addition to our team.

I'd deeply enjoy this change if implemented

If I can figure it out, yes. I'd like to implement two different selections. One generic selection for everyone to take, and the flag stickers for consulars to take. I think I'm gonna divide them up by what group makes the most sense to have them. For example, fisanduh and the free tajaran alliance flag stickers will go in with the coalition stickers. Since we don't have any solarian consulars for lore reasons, I think I'll leave those as ones to be found. This is not set in stone, just the vague next step after I work through all of this.

Trade offer: I get: sticker sprites You get: my eternal gratitude and a mention in the changelog Hi, so I've made a realization that we have stickers, but we don't have any stickers except for gold stars and googly eyes. So, I wanna get more sticker sprites. This thread exists so i can get y'all's coordination to sprite up a bunch of stickers and submit them here. At which point, I'll add them to the game! You don't need any fancy art program, all you need is an image editor of any kind, a 32x32 canvas with transparency for unused pixels, and an idea. If you don't have any art programs and want a starting place, try using photopea, a browser based photoshop. Its what I use to make almost all of my edits. Rules: No reference stickers. This is is more for blatant references or such. Also, stickers that are character specific. If you want a custom item for your character that is a sticker, though? We can talk. No NSFW. Don't make a dick sticker or something. No stickers bigger than 11x11 pixels. Make them as small as possible if you can, 3x4 is probably the smallest you can get away with but go nuts. Opaque pixels only, don't reduce transparency. No stickers from different servers, i dont wanna track down every source. So be original. Submissions can be in the form of PNGs or GIFs, i can work it out from there. No neeed to make it a .dmi If you want some starting inspiration, this idea started with the concept of 'corporate stickers.' A sticker thats each chainlink members logo plus the SCC itself, and then an antag/emag sticker that's Einstein Engine's logo.

There's plenty of basic items in the protolathe already, its fine. The autolathe already has plenty of things it can make, it doesn't need that much more.

could you be a little more specific, please? Do you mean the IPC Antennae?

I dont think that's true. I don't have the stats for how much the job is played, but I very, very rarely see any hydroponics players. Hence, this thread.

Hey folks, I'm working on a project to bring back some life to our more neglected roles, and I'm starting with hydroponics. In this thread, I'd like to hear what previous hydro players liked about the job, what they dislike, and any change you think would be good. Though, please try to keep the changes you'd like to see in a small scope, such as adding already existing objects/items for example. Unless you think its really important to think up a far broader addition or change, then some ideas like that would be welcome. (There will be repercussions for derailing the discussion too far beyond its intended task, I'm trying to hear out ways to improve things. Please keep it in the scope of hydroponics.)

I dont think it will, depends on the list we go with. A lot of what the cargo shuttle provides is things I dont think I would see a protolathe making. Not much in the way in instruments, a lot more in the way of raw supplies or larger objects. The shuttle also provides nearly instant access to things for the cost of credits. The lathe will require materials and a machinist. Both hanger techs and machinists are fairly reliable to exist, but machinists lest so, so you still have hanger techs having the edge of "I'm always available."

Testroprino's got a good head on his shoulders and cares about creating good and reliable back and forth between characters. Those are the two incredibly important traits for a command WL holder, so a very firm +1 from me.

+1 ill fated has been a fantastic player and roleplayer for the whole time I've known her. This player regularly brings a level of RP flavor that I wish i could match half of.

Make a list. You're right, you cant, or its just hard to memorize it, so I keep a list. Pretty much every hazel on the ship has a nickname. Just keep track of which numbers go with which nickname. I don't think thats a huge ask, and frankly, that goes a lot more with the theme of what hazels are then just cutting self owned hazels because theres "too many."

I don’t think this is a good change to make, especially given the reason. This is the first time in a couple years I’ve really seen Hazel lore even relevant, though largely because of a wave of people finding it funny to have so many characters named Hazel. I don’t think it’s fair to compare exiles dominians to self owned IPC’s, and likewise punish all of these players because they’re doing a bit by this method. I think there’s a better conversion to be had about the prevalence of self or privately owned IPCs and what their quality of life should be. maybe a better alternative to this, but is still a very big ask that I still don't think is worthwhile, would be to curb it moving forward rather than retroactively. Something to the effect of “all hazel units manufactured in 2466 forward now must change their name post freeing themselves” or some sort of compensation provided as a reason to have at least a dozen characters (likely more) renamed.

(commenting 8 months later because it got brought up again) I'd appreciate this just for the ability to slow down ships that are adrift, and bring them to a stop. This is a really nice idea, but my main concern is where are we gonna fit it? Deck 1 is cramped as is. Maybe under the wing, next to the warehouse? However, it would be a pretty massive encroachment on a vital maints area. So maybe not this spot. Deck 2 could offer a spot, though it would be fairly cramped. Here, next to the Grauwolf.

For example, La Villa Strangiato asked me to contribute to one of her projects. Desven asked me to make a Caprise away site comparable to VD. Which is about half way done, requiring only smaller detail oriented work to finish at this point. I want to see this setting flourish, and I want to grow my skills. I strongly believe having a developer role will help me achieve that goal, while producing a good volume of quality material for the community to interact with.

Massive dump from my old computer:

I know this doesn't super fit in what you're looking for exactly, but new sharps boxes that aren't just cardboard boxes To further expand on your scale, a full scale/height measurement like the one pictured below would be awesome. But like, 2400's tech version.

Its not. I do have OOC frustration, but it is absolutely and never has been about that. I'm not denying that my frustration has grown to an OOC level neither, its why we're here in the first place. But you did accuse bad faith. And you made it sound like an accusation that I'm lying and I have ulterior motives here. That's all I have to say on it. This isn't want I wanted, I didn't want for this to blow up into a whole thing, or become some great series of accusations. We're very much in the same boat, I would like for things to be more civil and less... this. Can we stop here for today, and we can try again tomorrow? Please?

Can you please explain what you mean that you do not believe me that its not OOCly motivated, or that this is biased. I do not appreciate this accusation, nor the accusation that I'm lying about this. I appreciate your incredibly detailed response, however. And yes, while you're right that a lot of this is in character issues, the big picture is that because of these interactions, I dont wanna play when this character is around. Though, again, I do not appreciate the tone you have about this explanation. Strangiato hit it right on the nail. I'm sorry that you feel hurt here, that was not the intended outcome. But, this isn't malicious, and the goal here isn't to get you in trouble. My goal here isn't to have your character removed or whatever either. I reached out to moderation to figure out some way to resolve this, and this is what I was told to do. My only goal is to find a solution to something thats a problem for me, and I don't know how to remediate it. That's also a reason why I didn't say something to you over DM's as well, but I don't think that's particularly a reasonable ask either. If we can get this resolved without throwing around the idea that this is all bad faith and that I'm a liar, I'd deeply appreciate that.

BYOND Key: CourierBravo Game ID: ctI-aBAA Player Byond Key/Character name: Sasha Kaiser Staff involved: Eddymakaveli Reason for complaint: Character behavior to the point of making game not enjoyable to play. This characters pattern of behavior: being aggressive, verbally abusive, and breathing down the necks of others around the ship has made playing bridge crew no longer enjoyable for me. This character orders bridge crew around, belittles, berates, and otherwise verbally abuses if his way is not gotten. I have been doing everything in my power to try and roleplay this out, to create any level of resolution so I can be left alone. But today was a breaking point for me. I gave him feedback, and he shut it down by telling me to shut the fuck up. I'm sorry to the player for having to make this complaint, but there's a point where you are making things not enjoyable. We are past it. I need you at an OOC level to please reconsider how you play this character. I have put a lot of thought into my feeling about this, even sleeping on it. I fully believe that this is not me getting caught up in my characters feelings, taking in-character behavior personally at an OOC level. I have decided to not make it an Incident Report because it goes beyond in game at this point. It goes without saying that asshole characters are allowed and normal. But, you must take into account that people are on the other side of that monitor. I can handle being verbally berated and belittled in character and walk away with no OOC hurt feelings. But, it starts to wear on me when every interaction I have with your character is them verbally abusing mine, or another character. Constantly referring to others as stupid, idiots, and dumbasses. Calling everyone else incompetent over simple mistakes. There is no good faith given by this character, and its detrimental to my ability to enjoy the game in any capacity. To explain an example of problem behavior: Sasha will demand sensor scans within the first 5 minutes of the round starting. No please or thank you's. You can explain to him that this takes time, but he won't listen. Sasha will also order crewmen to go do scouting around the sector for away sites. I'm going to be frank here. Going around in the canary to scout for away sites we both know you aren't going to investigate is not fun or enjoyable. Those scouting missions can take 30 minutes to an hour to get done, depending on how the hazards are. I know that flying around is the crewmen's job, but asking us to constantly go out and scout puts a 30+ minute block on our ability to roleplay. I know this is seemingly relatively small, when you break them up as two instances. But having it be nearly every time and over multiple months, it builds up. Its not one single instance, its a buildup over two months. For the round mentioned above. What made me decide to just walk away from the round and make this complaint was our interaction over radio. My characters plee for you to just back off please and let me have the chance to do anything was shut down with a "Please shut the fuck up, get over yourself." I tried to engage further, but it was ignored. This is not good RP. I'd also like to bring attention to the previous round (I do not have the game ID, round before game listed above). Your character said some fucking awful things, belittling, berating, and verbally abusing the head of security for not having everything under control during a very chaotic round. That felt shitty just to see, I can't imagine how the head of security player feels. I'm tired, man. I dont want you to like, 180 and everything has to be sunshine and rainbows forever and no conflict can ever happen again. Conflict is good. This isn't conflict, this feels like work. I don't wanna play a game where other characters make me feel like I'm actually at my job. I wanna roleplay someone at a job. Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation? Yes, recommended to make a complaint on forum. Approximate Date/Time: Over the last 2 months or so. Game ID isn't a great example, this is a pattern of behavior that goes back for the last 2 months now. In game time: about 30 minutes into the round. For previous round, it was around 2 hours in, the previously mentioned yelling at was right as the round was ending, in the last 15 minutes.
