MrPerson is porting /vg/'s qdel GC system, it's far from done, but once it's done, singulos and bombs will probably be incredibly fast. (And everything else, but singulos and bombs are the biggest offenders because Del is expensive and they call it a lot.)

I guess releasing the singlo will be one less thing off my "things I won't do when antag list", grated it is a short list with "Don't piss off the badmins" at the top

Singulo is only used by antags that are VERY desperate, or trying to get the shuttle called, without it being recalled.

That's an issue I had as a traitor; Nobody wanted to call the escape shuttle, even after numerous murders, break-ins, SDDs and more. I had to release the singularity in order to nod them in the right direction.

There is currently a server-crashing bug live on the server. (And one that can be done INCREDIBLY simply)
Razharas is going to push out a fix at MAXIMUM SANIC SPEED, so an emergency update once that fix is merged is probably good.

[scrdest]

The easiest way to make sure it is called and you don't cause MASSIVE LAHG is to get a laser, a revolver, or an explosive, break into the Bridge and Captain's Quarters and damage both consoles you would use to call the shuttle.

If both are out of commission, the shuttle is called automatically, and since the consoles are damaged, you cannot recall it from them. Of course, you COULD build another console or fix the old ones, but that takes some time, and if the timer goes beyond a certain point, you cannot recall it.

Plus, if you use a gun it should be silent enough for no-one to notice for a short while, and using a bomb makes the area highly dangerous to anyone except space-suited crewmembers, so you get some extra time before it's too late.

[MrWillsauce]

As the captain, I only call the shuttle when it seems that the station is completely unsalvagable, and lots of murders and break-ins alone don't make that the case.

IIRC the shuttle is only autocalled when:
1) There's no (active) AI
2) All communication console boards are destroyed (or off-Z?).
Just breaking the computers won't do, IIRC.

This. You have to toss all three Communications Boards into the Singularity, the Incinerator, or one of the Mass Drivers, otherwise nothing happens. And I'm not sure about the off-Z-level thing either.

And god forbid that an overzealous scientist made more boards.

If I go to the trouble of throwing all three communications boards into the Singularity, and then suddenly realize some asshole scientist actually made more, I will probably have a complete villainous breakdown. Nobody EVER makes boards, unless they're for a mech.

I could swear it got autocalled when I tried it the last time (read: a while ago).

Boards are good for research, but of course you're destroying them 5 seconds after you make them.

New goal: Be in a round where someone is trying to get the shuttle autocalled for some reason. Be RD. Make infinite Comms boards.

Hide them in maintenance and at the bomb range. Give them to monkeys in genetics. Throw them in with slimes. Hide them all over the outside of the station.

This will likely end in Lord Singuloth.

I once made two... Or was it three? Anyways, more than one Singularity engine. Then a traitor planted a beacon and released them both. I think it was on Metastation. One was in Engineering, the other was in the empty window space in the Dorms area. The beacon was near Escape, so the station got cut in half and them some.
