VileFault Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 AHH! This is so good! Just imagine the AI over the radio... "Warning - an intruder has been detected in the security department's security subroutines. I am attempting to identify the threat, but they have already bypassed the department firewall..." "Warning - brig timer subroutines accessed." This would fit quite well into a few other ideas I have regarding the AI. I actually considered making a AI researcher / antag hacker character, but I quickly realized that the mechanics simply weren't there to support this play style. I think the job of overseeing the station's networks and whatnot could be taken up by either science or engineering (though in my opinion engineering is usually a little less interesting at the moment, so we should probably give it to them). Being able to download hacking software to a laptop as an antag or someone with access to R&D, and adding a console that allowed the managing of firewalls to keep such people out that the AI could access would be really cool. The hacking software could have a mini game to find vulnerabilities or a simple timer to search and exploit them if they were not closed. You could do things like engage the science lockdown permanently, break APCs, turn off equipment using APCs, lock doors, that kind of thing. The AI should get alerts about it occasionally. This would be amazing if someone can work out exactly how we should do it so that it wouldn't be too much programing work, and make use of existing system. It would also work great with the light-dimming suggestion we were looking at in another suggestion.
Coalf Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Yes, yes and yes. But only if Turning it off and on again is a viable option.

Nikov Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Rename "Robotics" to "Cybernetics". Make Cybernetics into the IT lab that handles AI, synth repair, printing circuit boards, cybersecurity and installing/repairing computers around the station. Alt titles can denote specialists. And the messaging server room is right across the hall.

It may pertain to the original suggestion, but one suggestion to a thread plz. :U If you 'do' post this though, I'll be all over it.

ITs merging with Robotics isn't going to happen.
