I have absolute confidence in Goolies' ability to RP as a tree. +1

I greatly like this idea and I'm in favor of it. Move the bloody xenoguns here too! Security characters can now sit down instead of standing in the central ring. Revolutionary!

I loved the arc as a whole. Finally, Unathi event focus! Fucking awesome. The events were all great, and I really appreciated the shift in focus of the Horizon doing things that it makes sense for the Horizon to be doing. The lower stakes missions were all very cool as well, and I really appreciated opportunities to cement my characters with canon rounds that didn't feel too dangerous, while also giving the opportunity to do *real* stuff that isn't just chair RP. A completely biased nitpick I have is: I feel like there wasn't enough consequence for crewmembers causing trouble during events. A point was made at the beginning of the arc, before the first event, to tell players look at and familiarise themselves with the Unathi legal system and laws, but it was never actually put into practise. Between multiple crew stealing from Unathi, disrespecting/backtalking important figures / guards, looting Mudki, and generally being dishonourable, I'm surprised that nobody got punished, either by the SCC administratively, or by the local guard themselves, for being shitheels. I feel like it was a missed opportunity to bring a much needed reality check to some players who are used to being assholes during events without consequence. People fucked around but unfortunately nobody found out; there wasn't a single lost hand! I think that it lessened my enjoyment of the arc as a whole very slightly, that the Unathi legal system / cultural values were largely disregarded by the crew without consequence and didn't have much impact on the events beyond non-crew related things like the Gawgaryn being executed and so forth.

I liked the test, as a proof of concept for a worst case scenario high intensity test. It felt like a high intensity canon round expedition in a lot of ways. I don't have a problem with it being high intensity; It was a direct upgrade from the weekend highpop round just rolling merc, because we had a cool map and a mission instead of a contrived gimmick. It was extremely laggy for me though. I would love to see peaceful oriented rounds where science and service and (people not security) get to shine. It's just the nature of things that not every round type has something for everyone to do. Some rounds Security is going to be doing this sort of assault, and some rounds they'll be unoccupied. This already happens in our current Secret model. As a BC, while I do like the cool factor of using the Intrepid as transport, I felt bad for Samga who had to be banished to the cockpit dimension for 3 hours and couldn't participate in the round because she had to shuttle back and forth. I was dreading being put on this duty myself. I guess this problem is exacerbated by the fact that the Intrepid is not good for expeditions of mote than 5 people + pilots. There are not enough seats and buckles and standing space and storage space for more than maybe 9 people, possibly 13 if you use the sofa, office chair and medical bed. It's a shitshow. We need a bigger dedicated away mission lander; science would get mad if we turned their science ship into a bus.

As someone who was directly involved in this, as one of the Security Officers that round on the team beside Rakka (Kozha Ilkhi), and directly involved in this gunfight towards the end, I wanted to add that we were aware of Stacy Keely being armed to the gills prior to this happening; I reported that they had full armour and long weapons, and had welded the operations bay shut. Following that, we got the radio messages But at that time we had Shaw and his thrall on the run, location unknown, and we were actively dealing with a Vampire Hulking out in medical, we lost contact with Stacy and couldn't follow up on this. Both of the other two antagonists had gone loud, so to speak, and we were spread very thin at the time, and had been involved in multiple fights by the time Rakka encountered Stacy in the brig.

Bayar Yeke is cool, I like them as a OM. I've played about 5 or more rounds with them as Command, and interacted with them as Sec Officer, no problems. They already got got by the multi-line announcement fumble which was funny. Rite of passage achieved 😆

I like the realism of the idea, but I admit that I don't move crates or roller beds often. Looking at it, I like the spirit of the idea, but the Horizon just doesn't have the infrastructure to support it. I feel like this should be temporarily reverted while we wait for certain things to be added; Hoverbeds, handcarts, and a couple of medical elevators (I'm CERTAIN that you guys can squeeze in an elevator in there, even if the first one didn't work out. You've got several entire wings of medical which are literally never used!

I like the spirit of the stairs are dangerous PR. If anything, this just exposes the unrealistic mapping of Medical, and medical should be remapped with this in mind instead of reverting the dangerous stairs thing

A thermometer might be interesting if Unathi being cold blooded ever actually is added

I'm not a fan of it personally. It makes me think the scrubbers are always siphoning. I could live with or without it, but I preferred it when they were just static vents.

Basically, I was thinking about making a PR that removes the polytrinic acid in the meat you get from butchering Greimorians. I couched this to someone, and they recommended that I make a suggestion thread open to discussion instead of just making a PR, so this can be discussed. (Removing the polytrinic acid would either be via creating a new type of greimorian meat and giving that to the butcher results, or removing the polyacid from xenomeat) My reasoning is this: Greimorian meat only contains polyacid because they butcher into Xenomorph meat for some reason. I imagine that this is a holdover from when Gremmies were ported, and nobody really cared enough to change this. There's nothing really to suggest that greimorians should have floor-meltingly-acidic blood. It doesn't burn you to walk on the blood, they don't disfigure you if you kill them in melee, and melee weapons you use to kill them don't melt. (Please don't add this, it would make dealing with Greimorians (on lowpop) even more annoying than it already is) It's inconsistent at the moment: Unathi can devour Greimorians raw with their grab devour verb and it's fine, but if they butcher the creatures and eat the steaks, they get acid damage. The grill which is supposed to allow you to safely eat the meat is a special machine that has to be built by Engineering (or maybe cargo if they cared to order the board??), which literally never happens. My thoughts on why it might be a bad idea to change it, however are: There's already a sort of pseudo-canon that Gremmies are full of acid, which might be strange if this is changed? Gremmies are a source of xenomeat, which is itself a source of polyacid if someone actually wanted to get polyacid for some reason. The acid damage from gremmie meat isn't really that much, and it usually self-heals. (I guess in this regard it might just be a RP/Mechanics thing. Because you'll have people going "oh but you have fresh skins on your xyz it's burning you")

To complement a currently in-progress PR that will make some Unathi food recipies utilize Moghresian Meat, can an orderable cargo crate containing an Otzek (/obj/structure/largecrate/animal/moghes/otzek) be added? And maybe also just a freezer chest containing 8 or so moghresian meat (/obj/item/reagent_containers/food/snacks/meat/moghes) EDIT: Further to this, it'd be excellent if we could add some fish egg sacks to any fish meat crate that might already exist, so we can make stuffed fish. (/obj/item/reagent_containers/food/snacks/fish/roe)

I agree with the broad strokes laid out here; The cultists should not have supernatural powers of an entire gamemode. I agree that it's immersion breaking and annoying. I like the idea, in general, of offship antagonists being able to aggress the Horizon - so long as those antagonists make sense and remain grounded in the reality of the setting. As it stands, every round that the cult base spawns (It still feels like nearly every round even after the patch) the cultists massacre whoever triggered them, then fly their ship directly to the Horizon to start ganking people with their very broken OP powers - oftentimes when there are no, or very few Security team present due to the server population being a bit weak. It feels somewhat deliberate that they're coming to the Horizon nearly every round looking, essentially, to frag. Imagine if the pirates on the abandoned asteroid got a full uplink of TC and combat hardsuits, and every time a nosy BC triggered them, they stole the Intrepid/Canary and flew up to the Horizon to start killing people. That's what it's like having full cult doing this.

If nothing else I would like to at least see some kind of culture change, and maybe encourage people to think about what the effect of the crew transfer will be; If there's no Greimorians, the engine is running, and you KNOW that nobody is going to join the next round, there is legitimately zero reason to call a transfer.

I do actually have issues with these lowpop crew transfer votes, and I want to chip in my two cents, with the context that I am a terminal lowpop player, coming from Australia. During the weekdays I am only able to play on lowpop, essentially. There is a repeated trend of people (Mostly one person in particular, to be frank) calling crew transfer votes during these late hours when there's only a couple of people on, while these people are happily roleplaying. The vote has passed, oftentimes in my perception to be because of observers or lobby sitters (think 10-15 people connected, 4 actually playing in round) outweighing the people actually playing the game. While this is annoying, it disrupts actual RP, and usually kills the server population when it happens, the real egregious part of this is that it will happen while I am the only person currently playing the server. I have power due to someone previously setting up the Engine, and this vote will happen, pass, and then in the new round the power goes out due to no engineers setting up the engine. If they didn't join, and I was the only one playing, what, legitimately, was the point of calling the vote if not to essentially grief? My consternation is largely directed to one individual who does this frequently, and honestly the attitude that they display in OOC is getting on my nerves because they seem to derive some kind of smug satisfaction from doing this, which is increasingly pissing me off.

Reporting Personnel: Isk'sah Zsoehsslehi Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Bridge Crew Game ID: cte-ajtT Personnel Involved: Floriane Poeu, Cook, Offender Isk'sah Zsoehsslehi, Bridge Crew: Victim Ozikar Yathaki, Security Officer: Victim Kezerjem Jaar'zeck, Hangar Technician: Victim Sasha Kaiser, Research Director: Witness Secondary Witnesses: Manuel Barros, Engineer: Witnessed Floriane Poeu refer to Kezerjem Jaar'zeck as a "Cat" Time of Incident: 0400 - 0600 Real Time: (0400 - 0600 2024-04-14 Server Time) Location of Incident: Kitchen/Dining Area Nature of Incident: [x] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [ ] - Destruction of Property [] - Neglect of Duty [x] - Harassment [ ] - Assault [ ] - Misconduct [ ] - Other _____ (Place an x in the box that applies. If other, replace line and specify.) Overview of the Incident: The Cook, Floriane Poeu, consistently and repeatedly referred to myself, and Security Officer Ozikar Yathaki as "Lizards". In spite of repeated and spirited attempts to reason with Floriane, explain her error, and resolve this misunderstanding, she refused these explanations, and continued to insist that Unathi and Tajara were "just cats and lizards" and continue to refer to myself and Officer Yathaki with these terms. Kezerjem Jaar'zeck briefly approached the Kitchen, and Cook Poeu quickly denigrated them as a "Cat" Further to this, while this was occurring, Cook Poeu displayed a flagrant disregard for workplace health and safety with regards to food handling, and repeatedly dropped items of food on the floor to then pick them up and use them in cooking, or serve them directly. She was also witnessed drinking directly from an oven pan. When confronted about this unsanitary behaviour by Research Director Kaiser, Officer Yathaki, and myself, she consistently and repeatedly insisted that the floor is clean and safe for food preparation, and that there is nothing wrong with leaving food on the floor. Research Director Kaiser questioned Cook Poeu regarding the provenance of their food handlers permit, and questioned their lack of employment records, to which Cook Poeu refused to answer. After Director Kaiser departed, Cook Poeu went on to say that the only reason that Officer Yathaki and I had any objection was because "where you are from food would be covered in sand and bugs" - further continuing her xenophobic harassment. During the course of this event, I had eaten food prepared by the Cook, Floriane Poeu; Two steaks, a chilli egg bowl, and some gukhe fish. Ten minutes consuming the chilli egg bowl, in inexplicably fell ill and began to vomit - I believe this to be a result of unsafe food practises. Submitted Evidence: Multiple witnesses. Would you like to be personally interviewed?: [x] - Yes [ ] - No Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: Yes, Director Kaiser was present during the alleged offenses, but did not take any action at the time. There was no Orion Corporate Representative, or Executive Officer present to report this to directly. Actions taken: Attempted to reason and mediate with the offender, and explain her mistake, but was rebuffed and harassment and unsafe work practises continued.
