canon35 Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 As it says on the title. For ninjas (And any similar antagonists/equipment.) have their self destructive systems on activation release a alarm through game audio and the text box, something along the lines of Edgy McEdge's hardsuit begins to beep rapidly! After 3-5 seconds, then have the equipment explode. It allows people some time to flee without having to meta self destructive mechanics and still allows these players to have their last laugh.
BurgerBB Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 It's a good idea but honestly the best solution would be to add this and also reduce the explosion range of ninja so it doesn't have enough power to destroy station turfs.

Impossible. Bodies are no longer 'easily' wreckeable using explosives. Landmine is probably the weakest explosive that destroys turfs and the worst it does is break a few bones. Ninja's need an explosion that creates gib turfs to hide the evidence of their technology to accomodate their ... uh.. lore?

That is why you call an explosion and then a hard gib proc for good measure.
Zundy Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Maybe have it play a noise a la Predator self destruct.
Arrow768 Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Disagree heavily. The self destruct is a weapon of last resort and can only be used once. Therefore I see no issue if it causes severe damage and does not have a warning duration. In addition the "other antags with simmilar equipment"-part opens up the door to add a delay to all explosives as simmilar things can be achieved by using a deadman switch and any sufficiently potent explosive. Therefore voting for dismissal.
