Nikov Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Simple. Add one inflatable wall to most/all of the oxygen closets around the station. 1. Easy-to-use hull breach repair for minor leaks and broken windows. 2. So simple an assistant could do it. 3. Useful as a seal if you have to flee through a firelock to get to safety. 4. Existing item added to existing objects. 5. Not likely to empower antags noticeably.
MrSmooooth Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Seconded. Having a few of these around makes sense and means the entire central hall won't lose pressure next time someone cracks a window.
Snoopy11 Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 I like it, it can prevent a fair bit of atmos victory. If it's in the way of antags, they can shoot, slash, pop, or burn them down easily.
Nanako Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 Some counterpoints: Assistants shouldn't be playing engineer anyways, why encourage more playing hero. Also, more significantly, this won't be used by civilians. It will be used by lazy, unprepared engineers who didn't bring inflatables with them. They're a powerful item, its why the barrier box wont fit in your backpack, And why they're currently only available in restricted areas
Juani2400 Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 I can't see how placing barriers in the emergency closets will be helpful. If an area is depressurised because there's a breach, you shouldn't be going in, at all, except if equipped with EVA gear, in which case you can grab a box of inflatables either from the Engineering EVA storage or the EVA storage.
Arrow768 Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 I do not support this for the reasons stated. We dont need assistant-engineers that try to be the hero the station deserves. There is a engineering team that should evaluate a situation then plan how to tackle it, prepare properly and then solve the problem at hand. No need to give them the easy way out by putting infla walls into every oxy locker around the station.
Nikov Posted August 17, 2016 Author Posted August 17, 2016 One inflatable wall, not a box of them. Oh well. I guess people can keep dying to space, because gee, that's fun.
DatBerry Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Barriers are needed to cross firelocks without depressurizing the fuck out of the hallway you're in or about to get into due to how lame hallway firelocks are placed, but i dont think we should allow people to easily do that as non engineers, if you really want to, you can improvise. A big negative this would have is people opening locks without getting blown anyway. Making lack of pressure a not-so-big of a problem as it should be when moving around vented hallways
