Carver Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Once more I plea - add roundstart visitor spawn points so you don't default spawn in cryo or the Odin (where the latter gives you a duplicate PDA, ID and headset - meaning you need to ahelp for them to be deleted or just deal with having a spare ID and PDA).

Astra Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Remove the blast doors from xenobotany, and add a ladder from the science sub-level maintenance to the mainlevel. Quote Link to post

It doesn't make sense to do this. Science sub level is designed the way it is with the thought in mind that if something terrible happens, be it a horrid anomaly from xenoarchaeology, some kind of containment breach in xenobiology, or an outbreak in xenobotany, that the sub level can be safely locked down in a variety of ways, and the only ways out are the elevator, which can be secured, or going out through space, which, no matter what you do that's always going to be an option on a space station. Looking at this from a purely in universe perspective, they would never, ever, EVER remove the blast doors from xenobotany, especially not with the chance of a kois outbreak present, let alone something worse, and they wouldn't add an easy access ladder incase some worst case scenario happened in any one of those departments, which is always a possibility,, not even factoring in antags, in the Aurora SS13 universe.

While I agree with keeping the blast doors, it'd still be good to have an access ladder purely for power outages, even if it's just nestled away behind the elevator like with Command. It's kinda silly having all these safety and security measures and then having the only access point being a powered lift. Quote Link to post

I get this, but I will counter with that from an in-universe standpoint, few scientists would accept unnecessary work hazards on what is already a very unsafe workplace. And the general Idea is that you're not supposed to use elevators in an emergency. It doesn't take long for someone to notice the workplace accident rate in Aurora, and start to look at how poor the safety is. At least let Xenobotany and xenobiology have access to EVA, so they have some way to escape, and maybe a electrically locked closet that releases when the power goes out, with the necessary tools to dismantle blast doors. From an OOC standpoint, it is MISERABLE to play in the sub-level when the power goes out (I know this is kinda true for everyone when the power fails, but most other places you can at least walk around and meet up with other people for some coffee-and-feelings roleplay). I hope I don't come of as confrontational, it's just a constant worry when playing in the sub-level, which kinda ruins the fun of playing xenobotany (so I'm definitely biased here), and I feel there are both IC and OOC reasons to make it slightly easier to escape it.

Agreed. Engineering already has ladders to the sub-level, so why not research? Quote Link to post

UncleJo Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Can we get rid of the MediExpress disposals chutes outside of the pharmacy? I've never seen anyone ever do anything with them besides mistake them for trash cans and accidentally dump garbage into them. They just take up floor space.

WickedCybs Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Regarding the above, now that glass containers (what was usually sent through those) shatter rather easy there's kind of no point for those chutes except in niche circumstances. Other than that, one of the chutes leads to the old quarantine in the sublevel, which is never used of course. So at the very least, that chute could be removed without issue.

UncleJo Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Give EMTs access to (just) the main hallway in Science, please. People keep getting shot inside of Research and having to wait for someone to open the front door for paramedics wastes a lot of valuable time. Quote Link to post
