Guide to space exploration

[Ron]

Ever get lost in space not knowing how to get back? Well following these steps and precautions will help you explore almost all of space in less than 1 hour!

(Note this is mainly for scientists using telesceience)

I commonly play Emily Bailey in game.

Preparation:

1. Check the crew manifest using the PDA, check if there is either a Captain or a Research Director. If so KINDLY ask them if they would be willing to give you a jetpack to make sure you have a safe trip. Every time I have asked they have said yes or fill out an executive permission form, however I cannot guarantee you will get this granted. And if you are going to be rude or demanding you can pretty much expect this to be denied, which really stinks because it is vital.

2. Go into R&D and get the following items: Toolbet, Multitool, crowbar, and a screw driver. The reasons for those items is for door hacking, you don't completely need them but it is useful for any locked doors and the toolbet is for more space. You will need it!

3. Get a oxygen tank for breathing.

4. Go into toxin storage and fill the jetpack and the oxygen tank up to the max it can hold (Note you do not need more than one oxygen tank. I have found that a full oxygen tank can last for 5 hours IRL time.)

5. Go into telescience and get the following items: Space Suit, Space Helmet, and breathing mask all located in the suit holder. Take a GPS.

Gearing up:

1. Take off your backpack/satchel and place the jetpack in that slot. Put your spacesuit, space helmet, and breathing mask on as well as your tool bet if you have one. Note I highly recommend carrying the backpack with you in one of your hands, it is extremely useful.

2. Set up the telescience to what you want, or have a partner set it up.

3. At this point you are on the teleporter but do NOT go yet! Turn on your OXYGEN tank and click on the status tab to make sure it is working.

Space (Dumb way):

1. At this point you are in space! Turn on your jetpack!

( I have a little hack I found that will help you, look for the next step)

2. Explore, pray you don't let lost and somehow get back.

Space (Smart way):

1. Teleport to sector THREE.

2. Make your way to the telecoms sat.

3. Beg AI to let you in (They always say yes to me)

4. Teleport to teleporter room

5. Borrow the handheld tele

6. Now you are set and it is near impossible to get lost in space also you can use beacons to easily travel back and fourth.

7. Enjoy traveling and finding out the sectors and hidden things

Some extra:

Bring a camera, makes for good RP.

Have a buddy make sure there isn't airburst on the otherside first before you go.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Or you could just ask for quick access to the hand tele in the station-side teleporter room.

Heads of staff and the AI don't usually say no if you're a scientist and qualified to use it.

[Tainavaa]

Sorry, going to need acting captain status to let them use the hand teleporter.

[Jamini]

Space (Smart really dumb way):

1. Teleport to sector THREE.

2. Make your way to the telecoms sat.

3. Beg AI to let you in (They always say yes to me) Commit Infiltration

4. Teleport to teleporter room Twice

5.Borrow the handheld tele Commit Grand Theft

6.Now you are set and it is near impossible to get lost in space also you can use beacons to easily travel back and fourth. Get caught by command

7. Enjoy traveling and finding out the sectors and hidden things Spend the rest of the round in the brig, demoted.

 

Taking the hand teleporter without permission is basically asking command to come down hard on your ass.

We /do/ use that, you know.

What Jamini said actually happened last night, it ended with the scientist scheduled to be suspended.

I have learned that fucking off into space alone is not a good idea in general. In the event the science department actually needs you to do your job and it turns out you're not there to do it because "ooh, retro laser", then you probably deserve any permabrigging or suspension that you get.
