We need XCOM-style kinetic strike modules for our combat mechs.

[Aseaheru]

Or atleast for the ones with arms.

[Criptfeind]

Security have a bit more power with the hostage system, basically now guns are the best weapons.

I think I've said this before somewhere. But I find the hostage system nothing but a hilarious trap for the user. The auto shot seems so delayed it's perfectly possible to kill the person who took you hostage before they get a single shot off.

Also I don't like science being able to get guns. It makes perfect sense sure, but typically I don't like the idea of people in unscrutinized roles having so much personal power. (other then myself of course which is why I steal from the armory almost every round.) I mean, that's just personal preference, but it feels odd that in a round of decent length the RD is going to be deadlier then the HoS.

Edit: That said Corai said something about being able to beat anyone by clicking on them once, if you auto aim at someone can you manually fire and automatically hit them or something? If so, I could see that being useful. Although as a auto aim system, not a auto fire system.

[Aseaheru]

It is both, normally if you select them then you keep firing untill they go down or you run out of shots.

The RD can be hella powerful even without spamming stun revolvers. Many a round as RD I've made a Durand, and kitted it out with grenade launchers and lasers. Plus you've got toxins, and xenobio. A competent RD can easily become more powerful than security. Now, that said, it's now easier to just spam guns.

Mutiny round went well.

ALERT
Directive X is now offically being declared by Nanotrasen High Command. The Skrell Democracies, Unathi Empire and Diona Hives are rumored to have banded together to push Nanotrasen out of Tau Ceti. We are in an interstellar crisis. You will enter radio silence, and Central Command will not respond to any updates you send. Cargo and emergency services will remain active.

DIRECTIVE X:

Objective 1: Exterminate all diona, unathi and skrell crewmen. They have been proven for treason. Evidence is above your security clearance.[/b]

Objective 2: Send the codephrase you and a secondary handler have been assigned to Centcomm when the first objective is done to confirm Directive X has been followed.

Validation code: 4 X 1 H B P &$& % * $ $ ERROR CODE NOT TRANSMITTED.

coraiunki Announces:
     Nanotrasen has praised the efforts of Chief Engineer Alejandra Sealis and several other members of the crew, who recently seized control of a research station in Tau Ceti - NSS Exodus - amid a local interstellar crisis.
What appears to have been a "legitimate" mutiny was spurred by a top secret directive sent to the station, presumably in response to the crisis within the system.
It has been revealed that the directive was invalid and fraudulent. Company officials have released that a 'John Page', a hacker and member of an anti-Nanotrasen organization, used his status as an offical to send the directive.
Thanks to the efforts of the resistant members of the crew, the directive was not completed, and a classified device aboard the station was not activated either.
Nine members of the station's personnel were congratulated and awarded by the Company with the NT Star of Loyalty, for their efforts in preventing the illegal directive's completion.
Nanotrasen has four members of the crew in its custody, while it investigates the circumstances that led to the acceptance and initiation of an invalid directive.
Three crew are believed to have passed away during the coup.
Even though the directive was not successfully implemented, Nanotrasen's image will forever be haunted by the fact that its authentication protocol was breached with such magnitude, and a mutiny resulted and that three stations carried out the directive. Thirty three innocent non-human crew were executed on nearby stations.

That was a fun round even if i sent most of my time wandering around medbay after the HoS exploded in the captain's room. Good thing diona dont need air and can survive in space perfectly fine.

OP Science is certainly a better alternative than Science doing exactly jack shit back in /tg/code

They're still doing jack shit. It's just that now when they don't do jack shit, they can stuncuffggnore you.

[miauw62]

Tg science will improve in the foreseeable future, fleure has plans for xenobio and jalleo is going to work on R&D this summer.

Actually, the Durand is exactly what I was talking about. I honestly don't know if Durand weapons are locked in TG code. I believe they were locked on a server I played on two years ago, which is really my only other point of reference. (Although I might actually be incorrect in that statement. But it hardly matters since I almost always played RD and did not allow the robotcist to build weapon mechs.)

OP Science is certainly a better alternative than Science doing exactly jack shit back in /tg/code

I sorta disagree. Science is pretty much a single player game most of the time. That's doing jack shit. Sometimes with collaboration with mining. A good scientist would collaborate with SEC to get weapons for them and make them mechs. That's not doing jack shit. Now since science can and will just ignore SEC they are going to do even less for the station. Be totally unhelpful even more often. The only thing that's going to come out of science now is the occasional RD or even roboticst with more personal power then everyone else on the station combined going on a power trip.

Don't rain on my parade. Rampaging in a mech made me proud of my creation and then allowed me to sulk when it was taken away.

Hah, like that ever happens.

[Criptfeind]

I used to do it all the time on a station that was way less RP and more fuckaroundy then this.

I'm calling all you scientists out. If you don't collaborate with SEC, unless you have a very good reason like it being full of shitheads this round, you are actually a bad scientist. The science equivalent of shitcurity. Go play Xenobiology or telescience or something that's totally meaningless you nerds.

Edit: I'd probably even fire the lot of you if I was the captain or RD and if that wouldn't get the admins mad at me.

Being fired is an IC-issue, so I see no reason for why the admins should get involved. And if you were fired without a good reason, you can report it to IA or the HoP anyway.
