I really think the piloting skill needs to be looked at. As it stands now it really handicaps a lot of rolls that can/have to pilot crafts. I am playing a xenobiologist now and I feel like I have to spend almost all my skill points on it so I am able to do the other have of the roll, and research educations already have a pretty poor skill distribution and really need the ability to spend the 8 free points to make them work for some fields. Before skill systems it was just clear these rolls can fly this and that and no one else. but now I feel that is still the case, but you also have to spend 6 points on top of that. It's just a very annoying thing to deal with. I think it needs to be added to some educations that make use of shuttles, be cheaper, or just be removed in favor of clear server rules on who can fly what like before.

Made a ahelp in the round just now so many it is already know between staff from that. But as a machinist you can not remove IPC organs like their power core or cooler or anything since that is a surgery skill. you can also not remove shrapnel from them because of this as well even if they are a IPC

BYOND Ckey: Toomie Discord username: Toomie Character names: Ivory Levi, Adam Valeas, Vanitas Sang. Species you are applying to play: Skrell ------------------------------ General Whitelist Requirements What colour do you plan on making your first alien character?: Since they’re a Xiialt, yellow. Have you read the lore pages for the species you wish to be whitelisted for?: 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 species?: I wish to play other Species then just humans mainly. I already have a diona whitelist and knew a bit of Skrell lore because of Diona in the Federation. Outside of that I find the connection the Skrell have with psionics very interesting and mechanically they seem fun to RP with. I think the different view on time because of their longer lived life's makes way for interesting RP topics and ways to express that part of them. And I like frogs…. What makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a human?: What in my opinion are the most notable differences between them are humans are would be, things like the use of Psionics. Psionics play a large part in Skrell culture that does not overlap with those outside of it. The lack of facial expressions is also a big difference between them and humans. Of course the difference in lifespan, that causes differences in view of time and long term investments or cost for projects and tasks. And with relations to Psionics, the Srom and its effects the population is someone very different and unique to them. ------------------------------ Character Application Character Name: Yiqri Quwarcha, born Feb. 23, 2242, aged 226 Write a backstory for your character. This may include their origin, education, personality and how they arrived to the SCCV Horizon. Yiqri was born in 2242, fifty years after the oppression of Glorsh-Omega. Their biological parents were both collaborators to the regime of Glorsh-Omega, who were on the run for those fifty years. They understood that their lives would be forfeit once caught, but when they had a child, something changed in them. They gave their child to the Federation, handing themselves over in exchange for a good life for their child, one that wouldn’t be ruined due to their parent’s crimes. This is where Yiqri started, adopted by a loving Qrii’Myaq and Qraa’Myaq. This new family had a high social credit score of 8.84 - Yiqri would grow up with two Qrra’Myaqq, raised under the beliefs of Qeblak, and be tutored in material sciences by their Qrii’Myaq. More importantly, though, the topic of their birth parents never came up, as the family tried their best to keep it hidden. There were obvious questions, like why Yiqri is a Xiialt in an Axiori family, or why they had such a vibrant skin colour compared to the muted greens of their kin. But Yiqri was still cared for like family, with the same adoration any new-born Skrell would have after the oppression of Glorsh-Omega. However, Yiqri was also raised with a deeply-rooted fear of synthetics. Their Qrii’Myaq and Qraa’Myaq both worked in efforts to redevelop and recover Aweiji’s footing, as well as Skrellian society as a whole. During their mentorship, and their studies, Yiqri was constantly pushed towards information technologies and sciences. The family hoped Yiqri would understand the importance of a personal factor in systems, and did everything in their might to steer Yiqri away from anything pertaining to artificial intelligence. Eventually, after a hundred-and-sixty years of keeping up this ploy, the can of worms opened up. Yiqri started working on robotics projects on Aweiji. The terraforming done by the Federation was a massive inspiration for Yiqri, and they wanted to develop equipment that could autonomously assist in these projects. Their family admonished this, but wouldn’t elaborate. Obviously, this caused some frustration, and the tense emotions spilled over into heated arguments. This all made Yiqri feel like an outsider, even more so than before. While they were always accepted, and their family tried really hard to include Yiqri, their differences still started dividing them. So, Yiqri made the difficult choice to leave. After sixty years of working at different employers, before settling with NanoTrasen in the last fifteen, Yiqri managed to land a contract at the SCCV Horizon, in the Research wing, working on integrated electronic systems. Their travels exposed them to many synthetic lifeforms, and they found themselves fascinated beyond belief, but Yiqri still feels like they missed the window to more deeply work with synthetics due to their family. 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. The general events in the Spur don’t concern Yiqri that much, since they’re incredibly focused on their research, and they keep to themselves. The Rampancy, however, matters to Yiqri out of personal interest. They weren’t around Konyang, but the effect it’s had on the public perception of synthetics worries Yiqri. It planted some seeds of doubt about their family being right, and it’s why Yiqri isn’t actively doing work for synthetics. How does your character view the megacorporation they work for? Because Yiqri wanted to make something for themselves, they sought work outside of the Work Initiative Program. Zeng-Hu focuses too much on biological research, while NanoTrasen offered more opportunities for Yiqri to travel around, and work in varied spaces, without feeling pressured to perform. They don’t really have any outstanding thoughts about NT besides that, though.

For a pretty long while now when ever I'm observing I'll check out the exoplanets, and from what I noticed no matter what, its always dark/night time. The only time I can remember Exoplanets not being night/dark is event rounds or Konyang. There are two different kinds of night/dark a planet can be from what I noticed. There is the, you can not see anything Infront of you darkness, and the, you can see things but the light level is really low. Both of these also cause Dionae characters to suffer in those places and are forced to keep track of all their light equipment that runs out fast since only the highest settings will keep them alive, or go out of their way to find a UV Light to keep them alive. I do not know code so I have no idea on how light levels on exoplanets are done but I would suggest there to be a 50/50 chance for there to be light, but even a 25/75 chance for there to be light would work if we want to keep it dark to add the element of danger from the low visibility. The chance could maybe also be different depending on the place. A Lava exoplanet works better in the dark but the snow or lush exoplanets would in my opinion work better if there at least is a chance for there to be some daylight. For there to be trees on it and life there has to be a sun somewhere that can shine on it.

BYOND Key: Toomie Game ID: cxi-bZWL Player Byond Key/Character name: character: Amy Veir. Byond ID: Stationworker337. Staff involved: None Reason for complaint: Pressuring others into doing surgery on them while that would break IC rules about surgery and then complaining about it in LOOC and OOC for the round Amy Veir broke their foot and started pressuring the The machinist into fixing. After talking in looc that its not allowed they kept pressuring them and complaining about it in looc, Ic and ooc about it. They then start attacking me in OOC about how I should not say anything because I'm not a admin They kept talking more in OOC that a surgeon should join to fix them and over all kept being aggressive and complaining about the whole deal that the mechanist should be allowed to fix their bones because no one else could. Also talking about how others are going to die now because they can't do surgery because the machinist can't fix them. I'm not the best at making these so if there is anything I need to add or post let me know. Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation? I made a Ahelp but no one was online Approximate Date/Time: 22/12/2024 17:20 (what ever time zone the Netherlands is in IDK) ss13-chatlog-20241222-153307.html

I believe I’m missing access as well?

We are also missing a normal recharge. The wall type can only change weapons

This is fine

BYOND key: Toomie Discord Username: toomie Character names: Ivory Levi, Adam Valeas, Drifting Through A Void Of Endless Knowledge and Kim Tabata. How long have you been playing on Aurora? Its close to a year of active playing. I joined before that but was not very active. Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? Not that I can remember. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame? There are multiple purposes of the head of staffs. They are a bridge that can connect other departments together in work, They make sure everyone knows what they need to work on and do in case of a large scale project like a hull breach for engineering, or a lot of wounded crew at the same time for medical. They are also there to make sure everyone is working safely and or not doing things that will risk the safety of them and the crew. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them? Command players should try to find a balance for the team they are working with that everyone can have something to do and have a fun time in their apartment. Making RP opportunities for others that would not be possible without the help of command, being the chance to work closer with a other department, more access, funds or resources that are normally not easily or at all obtainable. The way I see myself doing so is being the Bridge between departments and asking the team I have command over what they need to finish their research project, menu in the kitchen or setting up a team of crew from multiple departments to work together on a away mission. Explain how the recent events in the Spur changed your character and how they came to be employed on the SCCV Horizon. Derrick Hydra born on mars started out being a proud citizen of Sol, serving multiple years in the military. after leaving the military and pursuing different career, The Violet Dawn Explosion happened. The responds of the Sol Alliance on it and the Second Invasion of Biesel that happened right after it made Derrick lose faith in The Sol Alliance and wanted to get Citizenship to the Republic of Biesel being inspired by the response of the newly announced Stellar Corporate Conglomerate. After the two years of working in Biesel and gaining his Citizenship he worked to get a passion in the SCC feeling that this was a play he could be proud of working for. What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? Research director, Corporate Liaison and Executive Officer Have you familiarized yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? Yes Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking: Ivory Levi for Research Director and Derrick Hydra as Executive officer. Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Yes Have you linked your BYOND account to the Forums? Yes Extra notes: Two things. First thing: I have a 9-5 job and pop here is normally around the evening for me so I won't be able to play a ton, it would be limited to one to two rounds a day for the trail period. I hope that is not a problem. And second: Even if this app would not be accepted I would like some more info on how being promoted to head of staff works for already existing characters. Who could I ask about those questions and how should I reach them.

I believe Lab assistant can be used as both a learning roll and just a full time job roll. Your are a Assistant for the lab, there are people who just work that job because they work that job. Not to be promoted to a full scientist. I feel like saying that Lab assistant can only be used as a learning roll is like saying that people are only nurses to then later become a doctor. Its also not the case that we are short on Lab assistant slots because so many people play them with permanent characters, not everyone wants to play in Research as a full on Scientist, Research is a department where having a Assistant to help with things is in my opinion the most useful as well. In short, In my time on Aurora so far and playing in Research fairly often I have never seen a reason why there would be any problem with using the Lab assistant role for a permanent character that is just there to help Assist with things in the lab.

I believe the RD office windows are not shocked like the other command offices

Couple things I noticed myself, Research and development lab shutter button not working because a there are not shutter on the windows. Light switch in the RD lobby also turns off/on the lights in the RD office. Light fixture on the door to Telescience that looks odd. (more of a personal thing then a real problem) The Conference Room Requests console is labelled Research and Development so there are two Research and Development consoles if you try to fax something now. can't use the chemical dispenser in the exploratory chemistry lab while in the seat, it gets blocked by the chemical heater filing cabinet cliping into the window in the Circuitry Workshop

Nagito Komaeda really knows how command works and how to use the role to make the round more fun for everyone. They find a way to give everyone a roll and the chance to RP under their command. HOLMES is a great part of the command crew, and are a joy to see around. +1

Drifting though a void of endless knowledge are a Learning Lyrics mind type. They overall view the other schools of the Eternal in a positive light and respects them. While they all practice the believe in their own way, they all have a simpler goal. but they do have things they disagree on. Drifting though a void of endless knowledge believes that knowledge should be worked for though learning things though books and experience. While learning though blood is good as well, They think the Ichor Eternal is to focused on only blood, while the Iron Eternal rely too much on technology and disagree their believes that upon the death of a Dionae their memories and experiences are lost. they view The Omnivirate with the highest of respect and look up to their wisdom. If they would ever be in need of guidance about a very important matter they would want the chance to visit them in one of their weekly "court". Its over all hard to point out how the recent events have impacted them. While the Argus they split off from was greatly effected by the collapse of the Solarian Alliance since they where on Rueltab I when that happened. Drifting themself is not that old, most of the Nymph that make them up are older and thus are impacted by the collapse of the solarian alliance since without that the Argus would not have been able to get to the eternal gardens. shortly after they arrived in the eternal gardens the Second Invasion of Biesel happened. Because of the dangers this brought with them Drifting split off from the Argus to help the new born Nymphs. After the Second Invasion of Biesel ended Drifting kept up the task of helping the new Nymphs and providing them with protection and a safer way to learn things, so creating the Drifting though a void of endless knowledge we have today.
