Regarding dialogue, one thing particularly useful for characters who don't weigh their words carefully: unless what they're about to say is particularly OOC for them or you need to correct a typo, never backspace. The way people naturally speak includes pauses, filler words, and thoughts that aren't fully concluded before moving onto the next. Sometimes they may forget a word and need to hastily substitute it with something that makes slightly less sense but gets the point across. Authentic conversation will be a little messy and lean on the listener filling in the gaps for themselves (or failing to and creating a misunderstanding).

That'd also be a lot of instantly searchable lore Q&A to just toss in the garbage.

There's already a deck one janitor's closet that's one door away from that checkpoint. My janitor and Vhim use the deck two closet nearly every round, either for vibing once the round gets too hot or quick access to supplies next to the part of the ship that most frequently needs cleaning. Swapping with the deck two security checkpoint would be alright, I guess, but I'd personally miss having a safe spot in the main hallway to watch ongoing situations from instead of being stuffed away in the corner like the main closet in favor of Security getting a second hangout.

I don't think there really needs to be a checkpoint like 10 feet away from Security and the spot in central ring where they already loiter.

Attentive, knowledgeable, communicative, and efficient. From what I've seen and experienced, Armand keeps tabs on everyone in the department as well as he can and does his best to keep people involved when they're looking a bit lost. However he FAILED to defend his job from the usurping synthetic and thus I am forced to give him +1

I can't say how many times I've wanted to make a cargo order suggestion, been uncertain whether it was actually in the list or I'd just missed it, and then forgotten to actually check the only way I can (while ingame) because I'm busy RPing/doing my IC job. From what I can tell there are only upsides to moving the list to the codebase from a player and dev perspective.

The one that got aboard the Horizon, anyway. (You can tell because they don't fly across the screen and dance around you while they turn you into tartare.) Animal simplemobs displaying different behaviors and having differing movespeeds is something I'm always in support of, though.

The 'craft shit by using a sheet of <whatever> inhand without any other tools required' thing was always weird on HRP (especially when you relegate most of those crafts to engineers, who are apparently master carpenters and metalworkers on top of all the other systems they need to know). Even as someone who doesn't play engineering, putting most of those crafts into the autolathe instead (and making it spit out a frame you can assemble Ikea-style where you need it instead of an entire damn bed or something) would be an improvement.

Research seems to be missing from ops's destination tagger altogether!

I'm tired so forgive me if I'm misreading: by this, do you mean all bounties would need to be delivered off-ship?

The stairs in the basement of the hotel leading up couldn't be walked onto until Matt replaced them. Relatedly, vendors can spawn in the absolute darkness of the hotel basement. I couldn't even find the stairs until an admin spawned a flashlight for me. The hotel should probably load with all the lights already turned on? Vendors don't have access to the 24/7 minimart's checkout's glass door by default.

The Grauwolf, unlike the Longbow, lacks blast doors on its windows and a button to close them with. The Longbow's blast door button, meanwhile, could probably be moved to be less hidden:

Player characters can run the opposite direction from simplemobs, guns, and vacuum while treating themselves. Simplemobs can't do either of those things and die very quickly once exposed. It's not a tall ask to keep the injector until some distant, unlikely point in the future that someone extends pet AI and medicine. It could probably do with being produced in another manner, however.

I don't see the benefit in removing the lazarus injector unless the goal is to increase the amount of grief RP and to make the case stronger for removing pets entirely, since then we'd have to justify why the SCC keeps buying identical replacement animals when Ian or Crusher is inevitably ganked by a greimorian. As someone who enjoys the ship pets as RP props during stressful rounds or when placed in charge of one for the shift, I'm willing to suspend my disbelief to avoid dealing with the outcomes of this PR.

+1; Francis is a good manager, communicates effectively with the rest of ops, and is just a chill, chatty, all-around nice dude to play with.
