Hey, I just read some of your updates, and you are doing good but I think we could get a bit more detailed. Think about what Vakks training would be like.Your in virtual reality, so don't be afraid to get creative. You could have them do any number of things for training. Breathing life into the character before they arrive on the station makes it easier to play the character after all. If your Vaurca is focused on protection, they might see the world differently. Remember, as a unbound you are your own person as much as you are apart of a hive. What would Vakk do in virtual reality when they weren't training? What are they afraid of? Try your best to get some feedback, I saw you posting in round, keep doing that! I'll reach a final verdict around this time tomorrow!

A Day with the Queen A lovely aerial shot of Phoenixport, visible in the distance are the three 'bird' Talons that gave the city its namesake, and more recently the new home for its small Vaurca population. By Alastair Lindin This week at the Bieselitte we sit down with one of the more enigmatic figures of recent history, Ta'Akaix' Athvur'zekt'azi Zo'ra, one of the five Queens to the Zo'ra hive. For our readers unfamiliar with Vaurcan societies, the Queens are very important in that they are progenitors of every other Vaurca, and the pillars that their civilization is founded upon. We begin with an interview, taking place in a large subterranean chamber in the Alpha Talon district where Ta'Akaix' Athvur'zekt'azi Zo'ra shares her day to day with me in clear and perfect basic. You can find the rest of the interview at our website, but as we concluded the interview I was taken with Ta'Akaix' Athvur'zekt'azi Zo'ra royal retinue aboard a short range shuttle in preparation of tonight's event. Meeting us there was Ta'Akaix' Athvur'zekt'azi Zo'ra personal tailor, The Stylist Formerly Known as Simon who had this to say about his royal employer The days activities continued with a corporate luncheon, with some of the galaxies biggest players in attendance. We left Ta'Akaix' Athvur'zekt'azi Zo'ra's side at the conclusion of the days events,at the Coliseum opera house.The Coliseum troupe were performing the timeless human classic Giulio Cesare.Many of Biesels elites were in attendance, as was Ta'Akaix' Athvur'zekt'azi Zo'ra, wearing a lovely fashion design by Simon.

The fight for Elyra continues on. Vaurca hives have been further expanded upon. New kois and kois mechanics are being added in game to further reflect how deadly and prolific it is in our lore thanks to Lord Fowl! More fluff, and expanded narratives to come, with hints of a as of yet unannounced hive sprinkled in the lore for people to find.

Keep in mind, you have room to expand on your story when you make a character. You mentioned Vakk was trained to be a warrior? "Warrior" is a loose term for Vaurca that can mean more than just fighting. A Vaurca is a Za when it is more mentally prepared for combat or is involved with the function of something that can be considered a weapon. For example, my own Za Vaurca was originally trained to process hive ship combat sensor data, as information can be considered a weapon in this case. If you could, please expand upon what exactly Vakk was trained for, since they were born before arriving in Tau Ceti, it makes sense that they were trained for some purpose other than to be a security officer. Additionally, please advertise your application in game for some responses!

Its best to avoid brighter colors, as they reduce the detail on individual sprites. Additionally Athvur'zekt'azi is related to Vaur'skiyet'sca. The colors we have selected, as Conspiir said, aren't arbitrary.That's what this suggested change feels like, an arbitrary one.

Please fix the cargo loaders, I believe they use Transponders which are under the floor for direction and pathfinding. If they don't work it's likely because we don't have Transponders mapped in.

[Accepted] LordFowl - Mapper/Coder Application

Fowl is someone I try (and fail) to emulate the productiveness of. To see his return to the team would be a wonderful addition to our otherwise excellent dev team! +1 -
[Denied] My Vaurca Hive application
Bygonehero replied to bran0414's topic in Whitelist Applications Archives
I'm sorry, but I don't believe you really understand what you are applying for and it is for this reason that your application is denied. I urge you to try again however, once you have learnt a bit about the game, our community and the aliens we have in our lore. -
Some form of numerology would be interesting to see. On one hand people who are paranoid about numbers are often very good at recognizing patterns, so good in fact that it scares them. You could even segway this trait with the horror trope of having mentally damaged people be immune/ possess greater understanding of the unknown by allowing people with this trait to read cult shit or make sense of it in some way.

[Accepted]Zundy - Zhan-Khazan Tajaran App
Bygonehero replied to Zundy's topic in Whitelist Applications Archives
Friends don't let friends play tajarans, but in this case, I will make an exception +1 you possible filthy catbeast. -
it was more of a meme reaction in discord than anything, I agree that it shouldn't be listed on the map. Otherwise the only thing I'm curious about is where Epsilon Ursae Minoris would be in the map for dionae reasons.

[Accepted]sdtwbaj Vaurca application
Bygonehero replied to sdtwbaj's topic in Whitelist Applications Archives
I really like your story, and the character is definitely interesting as well. There are just a few issues I have regarding the story itself. You mention that Voo is interested in humans which is fine. It's only that Voos first perceptions of the outside world was Biesel and Tau Ceti that create a problem. This is impossible because the Foretoken entered only two systems prior to commencing settling procedures, neither of which were Tau Ceti. Additionally, Tret is a barren planet with little atmosphere, it is highly unlikely that it would be green and possess liquid water. To me it feels like you maybe mixed up the Klax and Zo'ra hives, as this story would make more sense if it was a Zo'ra character. I believe your application is solid though, if you could just address the issues I brought forward and advertise your app in game! -
[1 Dismissal]Revert Cargo to Improve New System Off the Server
Bygonehero replied to AllyBearsley's topic in Archive
The cargo changes are arcane now, but 90% of the issues are simply teething issues with the implementation of the new system. As Jackboot said, it's being vastly improved. -
Time to succ..... Withdrawal sounds neat though, in all seriousness.

For those unaware, Polaris Ling is like ours with a few extra powers, I think the only powers of ours it doesn't have is Horror Form, but that's fixable. The biggest change from our Ling to Polaris Ling is that Polaris Changelings start with 8 evolution points as opposed to our 5. They can only obtain evolution points from OTHER lings though. Absorbing a normal player merely gets you a respec, where you can refund your points and spend them again. Some of the powers Polaris ling has that ours doesn't are -Growing clothes out of your skin -Turning one of your arms into a Flesh Shield -Inflating your skin to act as a pressure suit -Reinforcing your bones to be unbreakable, and have higher base hp -Growing chitinous battlearmor from your skin

Port polaris or VG ling. It's the simplest solution. You make excellent points MM, but it seems to me it would take a significant time investment to rework it.

This makes me happy for some reason. Welcome back rrrrr As for the actual post, I believe they are talking about ganky behavior by security. Take for example a situation where the antag kills security that could be considered ganking, where conversely it wouldn't be considered ganking if security does the same thing to the antag. It is indeed frustrating.

How do you provide 'interesting RP' to a player you intend to kill?
Bygonehero replied to K0NFL1QT's topic in General
This A million times this. Malfing as AI for me is ALL about theater. You want stuff to build and build like a creeping dread. Random machine malfunctions, not targeting specific people, or not having a general object of hate makes people feel like the AI is more than a little square in some lower level. That its the station that's malfunctioning. Not the AI. When people think of the AI in this way, it becomes less of a angry box and more of a bodiless formless malignant entity out to get you in spess.
