  1. Then this I could agree with. Something along the lines of: "Investigations should not hold onto bodies unless the body itself is critical evidence for longer than is nessesary, and should aim to hand them over within 30 minutes of them been found. Red alert and command decisions can override this timer."
  2. Investigations already gets their bodies yoinks occationally by medical, adding a chaplain to it would not be fun to me as an investigator main. And I know you're referring to a situation the other day with the ling husks left behind. I'm all for chaplains given funeral rights, but I still personally believe Investiagtor should get first dibs. What should be added is the expecation to release the body in a timely manner unless absolutely critical not to.
  3. Suits sensors are like they are now as an aid to antagonists - so they can not be caught out while still incognito by sensors. The privacy angle is just an IC justification for it been like it is.
  4. A lot of these ideas are good, but yes would require someone to actually code it and set it up. It's not a simple policy change.
  5. Hey! Thanks for the app. Will be in touch to sort an interview.
  6. As was reiterated earlier today, med intern is a training role. I see no need to expand access even to areas where it "won't go wrong" since allowing interns into these areas is entirely as the discreation of full medical members and command. If you've played an intern for a long tiem, and are fed up of having access issues, honestly the solution is to just stop been an intern and promote your character.
  7. Hard disagree. The solution to getting access is to leave the training role for the full role if you need it so badly.
  8. Hard disagree. We still to this day get "I didn't know I was an antag!" despite the huge noise, massive red text and more. It's there to ensure you do not miss it.
  9. Perhaps unrelated, but I'd love to see Horizon drop pods to send a crew member to an away site in an emergency, or to send cargo down too.
  10. In theory, serious chat channel is for this, however it does often get neglected.
  11. It does need to be accessible for when a genuine issue comes up at the absolute dead hour. Some sort of check to see if a staff member is online would be ideal.
  12. We can use anecdotes of our younger days all we want. No matter hard it was for you to grab an ID for literally 2 minutes, that is not at all true for everyone. Do you think I am a unique case? Are you saying we know that some IDs are wrong, because it shows they are old, and we know somehow they are not that old? You're back to just using trust and judgement calls again. Your entire system breaks down, because it relies on the same judgement call of other staff, at which point it doing all of this was a waste of time.
  13. In what world is this hard to fake? As a teenager I regually was able to get my hands on my parents IDs and the like. Useless to buy things with - there is a picture and as a teen I was obviously not older - but 100% useable for your proposition. It is completely worthless as an age verification meathod.
  14. As someone who has suffered directly due internet people knowing my name and date of birth, to the point there was police involvement and court actions, I will never provide my actual ID to something as trivial as the Aurora team. In the words of LforLouise Any of the proposed "other methods" to verify ID as so laughably easy to fake, that their value is none exsistant. As many 18+ sites who are been forced to ID check UK visitors are stating, there is no way to do this in a way that either is completely worthless by how easy it is to bypass, or a complete infringement on privacy in the case of a leak (assuming whichever "authority" is applying the check will not misuse the data themselves.) I will not link them directly, but you can easily find statements from many of these websites about it. I know many of the staff team. We talk, I like to say we're friends. I know enough about them, their lives, the way they talk that I am willing to go on record and say I do not believe a single member of the current (active) mod/admin team is under 18, or even under 20.
  15. This would be handy. Especially with all weather clothes (winter jackets, stuff for heat, sand etc.) too with Ody becoming more common.
  16. A lot of the "job" lockers are absolutely overflowing - an issue I didn't entirely notice until the alt tab floor function broke. A lot of them can be mostly emptied by using clothes satchel, as does exsist for the CE. I understand clothes in lockers are there as a function for antags to steal or for people changing jobs in round (how often does that happen?), but a lot of cases the variety of options is redundant given how 99% of players now have custom loadouts. Some jobs, in particular consular and corp liason, are the type where I've never seen a single characterwear the default, or swap in and out what is in the lockers, but have a very much full locker filled with multiple suits and shoes, more than one (or even two with aide) could ever wear. TL;DR Cutting down on clothing options and/or implementing spare clothes bags in lockers would help speed up getting your gears from lockers and generally cut down on the annoyance of finding one thing amongst 10 items of clothes you will never use.

    Yes, I always assumed the charge vs reload was a balance consideration between the two primary types of guns we have. Energy weapons were recently expanded in the ammo they have on one charge that they do feel competative. I feel an alternative to this would be to make field recharging easier to access, like even starting with a charger backpack in the armoury. This take up a valueable slot (especially when in a voidsuit) and takes longer then a ballistic recharge, but stops you running completely out of ammo down in a cave on Ody with no chance of recharging at all.
  18. Reporting Personnel: Morgan Cook Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Hephaestus Burszian Corporate Liason Game ID: (Forgot to grab this. Would have been the Ody round ending at UTC 2am, 5th July '25) Commended Personnel: Bradley Knight, Atmospheric Technician Katia Ilina, Atmospheric Technician Witnesses: HES Pelée Blackbox Recordings Esool Keruzso, Chief Mechanic Time of Commendable Act: Horizon Ship Time 01:30 05/07/2467 Real Time: (0130 UTC 05/07/25) Location of Act: HES Pelée Overview: The Horizon was requested to report to the HES Pelée, a shuttle repair station on the edge of Burzsia to assist the crew with repairs. Unbeknown to the crew at the time due to heavy damage in the station's alert system, the station's fusion reactor had been leaking coolant at an alarming rate. When it became clear that a meltdown was imminent, Bradley Knight and Katia Ilina attempted to restablize the reactor while the Horizon and Pelée crew largely evacuated to avoid the blast and radiation. The reactor chamber was heavily irridated already, resulting in severe radiation poisoning for both personnel, especially Bradley Knight. They were able to repair the hull breach in the chamber and the coolant injection, preventing the meltdown and stablizing the reactor. They undertook this ordeal under immense danger and risk, and their actions helped save at least the HES Pelée, and potential the lives of many of their fellow crew members. Additional Notes: As both employees are employed by Hephaestus, corporate would like to extend a medical leave payment bonus to Bradley Knight, and a smaller bonus to Katia Ilina.
  19. BYOND Ckey: Fyni Discord username: Fyni Character names: Currently: Z.I. Circe Rhea Volvalaad Hazel #S-H8.11 Elizabeth Joyce Polyhymnia Species you are applying to play: Tajara ------------------------------ General Whitelist Requirements What colour do you plan on making your first alien character?: #1e1e1e Dark Grey Have you read the lore pages for the species you wish to be whitelisted for?: Yes Why do you wish to play this species?: I’ve always appreciated Adhomai’s rather grounded history with inspiration from some lesser explored parts of our own history. A lot of origins and species take inspiration from real life history, and let you explore the themes in a real fun mash on the Horizon. The themes of oppressive governments, poverty and war are strong for the Tajara, and I think that can make a great character. What makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a human?: The very obvious and noticeable to even the casual player is the use of the third person in conversation. “She is hungry” instead of “I am hungry.” Add in motions and mannerisms would take that feline aspect. And then, under all that is the history, caste based and governmental divisions which flavour and impact their interactions not just with other tajara but with anyone. There is a lot of recent history but also ancient history. Castes, nobles, serf, revolution… it’s all a lovely mix of ideas I find it very easy to make a Taj personality wise – a lot of it is already there. ------------------------------ Character Application Character Name: Mirrouen Hak’kar Write a backstory for your character. This may include their origin, education, personality and how they arrived to the SCCV Horizon. Mirrouen Hak’kar, a Zhan-Khazan, was born in 2443 in the city of Zatushka, not long after the PRA’s tenth anniversary. She grew up in the modernizing city, as Al’mari Hadii’s reforms continued apace during the interwar period, the daughter of loggers who works on the outskirts of the city. As she grew, she attended a state sponsored school, where she started to be taught according to Hadiist principals and partaking in the new literacy program – something never afforded to her parents. While the city worshipped Dhrarmela, her lumberjack parents followed the more practical minor god, Zhukamir. In this capacity, she learned to cook traditional Adhomian cuisine, and came to appreciate finer foods. Her mother was partially noted for a brewed concoction made from berries found while working the woodlands. As war and famine came to Zatushka, this worship faded from her memory, only remembered in a crudely carved wooden icon of Zhukamir as a muscular Zhan which she has kept into her adulthood. As the second revolution began, with the creation of the NKA and in 2450, Mirrouen begin to experience personal hardships. In 2451, when Mirrouen was 8 years old, Al’mari Hadii was assassinated. She, and her parents, attended the infamous parade itself, though they were passed by the late President before his untimely death at the hand of PSIS agent. They had already returned to Zatushka as the Liberation Army was formed. Hardship after hardship fell on the family. With the death of her mother during the Liberation Army’s occupation, Mirrouen had a hatred of the Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan instilled on top of the incomplete education she had received. She took to roaming the war-torn streets, a doing odd jobs while her father continued to work the forest. Times got hard, and food scarce towards the end of the civil war, with the pair reduced to eating vermin, pests and sawdust filled food. In 2461, as the city was recaptured and devastated, Mirrouen held that hatred in her heart, blaming Nated for the suffering she had endured. The civil war finally came to a close with the Armistice of Shastar towards the end of the year. Mirrouen, now long an adult at 18 by Tajara standards, made many an overt sign of support toward the party. Debating taking a place in the army now she was free of the DPRA, she struggled under the PRA’s persecution of the Zhan-Khazan, shaking her belief somewhat. With the death of her father in a logging accident, she sought work away from Adhomai. Through NanoTrasen, Mirrouen eventually ended up working for Orion Express as a courier aboard the OEV No Good Deed, which eventually lead to her position as a Hangar Technician aboard the SCCV Horizon. How has the recent events of the Orion Spur impacted your character? Events such as the Phoron Scarcity, the Solarian Collapse or even the Invasions of Biesel for interstellar-wide affairs, while region-specific events such as the Peacekeeper Mandate, The Titan Rises or even Cold Dawn may impact your character. Mirrouen experienced the assassination of Al’mari first hand, and lives through the devastation of the civil war. She received an incomplete education under Al’mari’s programs, before suffering at the hands of the Liberation Army, blaming them and Nated directly for much of it. However, once Zatushka was liberated by the PRA, and she got to live under the modern PRA as an adult her belief was shaken. An initial burst of optimism and hope, no doubt coloured by that sparse education she received, fizzled out. This left her disillusioned at the PRA as a whole, something she was smart enough to keep to herself. While she once planned to join the army, she fled Adhomai instead to both escape the pervasive spy state of live in a PRA urban centre and troubling news of DPRA nuclear developments. She has been left a jaded and bitter tajara, who constantly feels the need to prepare and horde food and wealth and struggles around corporate authority off world. She was largely distant from the NKA’s military actions, however she does have a bitterness towards them, seeing them as instigators for the civil war and knowing their track record towards Zhans. How does your character view the megacorporation they work for? Under Orion’s umbrella, Mirrouen has worked alongside numerous other Tajara who have found security in the steady employment. She herself has struggled to adapt, but has slowly come around to enjoying the corporate work environment, adapted as she as a Zhan to the manual labour of hauling and fueling. The relative stability of Orion courier work, where she would often work alongside fellow Zhans, has left a positive impact on her compared to the chaos of Adhomai. This positive experience of megacorps has somewhat turned her more in favour of the PRA and it’s relationships with the corps of the Spur.
  20. Possible but I'd prefer something consistant. It's not like we have the Spark have a different name every round based on the whim of the miner. People don't call it "the mining shuttle", they call it the Spark because that's its set consistant name
  21. The sign outside the bar has a lot of possibilities and is randomly generated. This doesn't really work with the idea of a consistant Horizon. We should pick one (or make a new one) and stick with it. I think having a set name for the bar /service area would actually generate a lot of RP, because people can remember and engage with it instead of just ignoring it half the time. Think of Star Trek's "Ten Forward", much easier to say then "the ship bar"
