What's the point in having research away from the station?
Why not move the entire station with research?

I could list several things, Like blowing it up, Makeing new areas from Revs and others to take over. BUt now I have to leave. Bye

It's also fun. I'll set up the solars and such. I'll just do all of engineering.

Nienhaus, I ended up editing it, adding cameras, lights, and a couple things I forgot, like some airless floors. Added the shuttle on the security side too, I just need you to link the shuttle up with it and it should all be good, thanks.

EDIT: Working on the Illicit Wing later, I've already got it lined out though. I'll post pictures later.

You can already blow up and/or take over science. It seems like it's unmanned half the rounds.

[Glloyd]

Recently it's been pretty full actually. At least that's what it seems. The last few rounds I played last night, everyone had durands and advanced energy guns.

I had an army of murderous slime ready to KILL MAIM AND BURN.

I want to get a mounted wormhole generator but every time I'm a Scientist or RD or get access to Robotics there's maybe one other person in research, messing with bombs or slimes, and someone releases the singularity. It takes time to research and build robots.

If you need more places to go and/or blow up, make some random z levels for space adventure.

Another... Intresting round.

What's the point in having research away from the station?

I thought that we were moving science onto the mining asteroid so that they would be less dependent on cargo. If you have no Shaft Miners, simply make some drills and meson scanners, grab hard suits/internals and get mining. Plus it makes the mining asteroid a much more interesting place, instead of an area where the miners hide when things go to shit.

Though thinking about it, having the entire space station on the mining asteroid might be fun, provided that we still have enough room for the miners to go about their job of course. I'd definitively make things harder for security though, and offer tons of places to hide.

EDIT: Of course I'm talking about a distributed station plan on the mining asteroid. Simply transplanting the current one onto the asteroid would more or less offer a change of scenery.

If you have no Shaft Miners

The HoP should make sure this doesn't happen. If there's a glut of personnel in one department, put them to work pounding dirt.

Asteroid Station?

Certainly sounds dwarven.

[Draxis]

Anyone know how to make Air Alarms ingame?  The wiki says to put the frame on the wall and apply a circuit boards and wires, but it seems like they start fully formed and do not effect anything.  Am I doing something wrong, or are they just broken?

Rarely? We get twenty most afternoons and weekends now, which is pretty awesome. But yes, when there's not a lot of people, it gets annoying having 3 miners and no engineers.

I am not really enticed by the idea of changing a huge setting such as this when it would only be effective half the time, and the other half it might be limiting player choice.

As to our player base right now, yes we have 20 people on the server at once fairly often now, but how engaged are those people? We rarely get 15+ people readied up for round starts (this is what determines what gamemodes are playable in secret) even with admin forced delays. I am of the belief that we've peaked, in terms of playerbase that we will get, from this semi-public approach.

Out of curiosity, would people prefer a public server, listed on the BYOND hub?  I'm not sure we have enough people involved to adequately admin a public server (not to mention still lacking a ruleset), but it could be kept in mind as a future goal if enough players want it.
