I was the scientist who killed herself.

Have you even read the /tg/ job summaries?
That's every scientist ever!
(And that's why science is a glorious job.)

We need more deadly science sub-departments. You can never have enough science!

Wrong. Go on BS12 as any role other than Scientist/RD and try to assasinate a Xenoarcheologist. Have fun hijacking a shuttle, sneaking past X-ty non-target scientists, and probably going on a spacewalk to do that.

No! Never.
Science is always self inflicted. It's actually the law of science.

[kilakan]

8 bombs? I assume that you got bombs from the uplink and then replaced the tanks?

Nope the 6 tank transfer bombs and then two custom brew 1 tank bombs that you can make that are actually just labled 'Bomb'.

As many as we can have without a research Z-level, then.

Indeed. We need to be able to research more interesting stuff. Maybe building experimental engines, or crafting special alloys. Maybe improving the toxins research like I mentioned earlier. SS13 is supposed to be a research station, but there is a significant lack of science to do. You're pretty much limited to making bombs and reverse engineering stuff.

We are now colonizing the derelict.


Woo.

And breeding slimes. We should think out some decent xenoarchology or something. I'm not saying copy BS12.

There had been a Xenoarcheology system that did not take a separate research station off a research station on BS12 awhile before. The artifacts would have various effects and be activated by a specific trigger, e.g. splashing with a chemical, hitting with a stunprod, shooting with an Emitter... they could be pretty dangerous, too. You would wear a suit that looks kinda like HL's HEV (actually, if you seen Engineering radiation suits, IIRC recolored a bit).

Ah, I remember that. Yeah, I liked that. Real science is smacking a rock with a stun rod just to see what it'll do.

and then, after causing spectacular damage, do it again.

I concure about the diversified research options, hell even a couple extra toxins test ranges would be really nice.  I have a half dozen bomb ideas that I would love to test but it's near impossible to test them all without either playing toxins repeatedly for many many rounds ((which I kinda do anyways even if I'm not a scientist... hehehe bombs)), or say getting an engineer or engiborg to help you rebuild toxins test each time.   ((maybe science could get a singular hard suit and some metals to repair it themselves?  Please, pretty please.))

[BigD145]

People talk about engineers being bored and you want to take repair jobs away from them?
