Remind me to go look at the code some time, to see if I can implement some of these ideas.

Also, it's probably a good idea to have the head Paladin not be limited to the Chaplain, so that the 'good' side is not heavily handicapped because nobody picked it in their preferences.


Chaplain or Captain. They're the only two 'nonconvertable' crewman on station.

And if no one picks Captain OR Chaplain, you deserve to be screwed over. :P

Also, perhaps only Chaplain would get the powers, but be boosted with followers' help. Contrast!
That could be fun, but would require RPing a 'true believer'. Chaplain baptize crew and cultists do their rituals to convert.

I sort of like the idea of RPing a priest selling a distorted version of Khorne worship for one reason above all others. The induction ceremony is to be beaten into crit with the null rod and then thwacked over the head with the holy book. If it heals you, you're accepted as a higher ranking acolyte; if it gives you brain damage, everyone present beats you to death, clones you, and you become a lower-ranking acolyte. It's a completely arbitrary system of determining personal worth, just like real religions!

Or, you know, go back to the old thermal engine. The code's already there, a few of us vets remember how to set the thing up, and it's a hell of a lot more reliable than the singularity ever was and ever will be.

You have to feed it constantly and we can't order the giant air canisters. I've played with it in ministation and it requires constant attention.

As opposed to the relatively fire-and-forget nature of the singularity. Yeah, you have to check on it every so often, but that's usually it. Just peek at it, and go back to derping around.

You do actually need to refill the plasma in it too, otherwise it's just a big ass fancy spinning ball of death.  Really solars are the best I find.

Guess the air code has changed, then. Back in ye olde days, you set it up once and it worked forever.

Air pressure drops within 30 minutes.

Fill the tanks and you're good for at least 2 hours, I think. Baystation12 is where you need to watch it. The one toxins canister could probably keep you going for days. For this server it's very set and forget, but protect.

BS12 is running off wholly different Atmos code, so...

Hey, hi, I'm from tgstation.  (Well I'm from bay12 originally, but I work with the tgstation code project.  I mainly played LLA at first... those were sad times).

I vaguely remember this thread being formed and I'm frankly impressed that it's apparently taken off.  Congratulations!  I haven't read back very far but I hope all is well.

I'm going to selfishly ask some questions out of curiosity.  Are you pulling updates from the tgstation git code?  Where do you stand on the RP-P2W spectrum?

Probably unrelated note: the tgstation servers (separate from the tgstation code project, but still my preferred servers for gaming) have been down for several days.  I apologize for our player base.  We did not vote for them.

I know jackshit about the code, since I really don't pay attention to anything like that. But where we stand on the RP-P2W spectrum is sort of...undefined. We say we're a medium RP server, but it seems we're not entirely sure what that means. Different admins have different opinions, but so far we've been fine. Depending on the playerbase during the round, we can have anything from a true medium RP round where it's a lot like /tg/station, or something resembling a more serious RP round. Really depends.

Although I feel bad for the /tg/station community, I can't say I'm not enjoying the occasional extra player migrated over from there to here in its downtime. I really want this server to be able to gain a big consistent population sometime in the near future.

I haven't noticed any real change in the rounds since the tg servers have been down. No bother at all, and it's always nice to have more people. Or maybe Hans overshadows everything else when Lillian goes on a rampage.  :P

To Rolan, the amount of RPing depends on who is admin.

Donuts: Chaos
Glloyd: (mostly) Order
