What's the point of a dangerous engine if you're not squeezing every last Watt out of it?

[scrdest]

-snip-
Maybe have a magical set inside the Wizard's Den?

Clothes and coat sprites done, and I'm gonna use the redone fedora for the hat. Not coded yet, because I don't want to drop things in Wizard code unless Glloyd lets me, because as I have learned myself today, merge conflicts are a pain in the dick.

[KingofstarrySkies]

I play detective sometimes...

I suck, but I swear I get told I'm good at it

NO OFFENCE MEANT.

Good lord, you do. I mean, you'd probably do alright as Bulletsec, but honestly? I haven't seen you do Forensics in... Ever? I dunno. Far too trigger-happy, though.

[Iceblaster]

EH. I agree I don't go in forensics when everyone's watching, but I've been wary of wasting time because, in recent times at least, anytime I've used it, the only thing picked up is my clothes.

Ehhhh... you realize you're supposed to use those evidence bags, whose entire purpose is preventing this very thing?

[Aseaheru]

He means the scanner scanning.
Yah, the scanner is kinda unintuitive with their computer.

To paraphrase, there are old engineers, and bold engineers, but no old bold engineers.

Also because I'm the kind of engineer that favors efficiency over POWAH. You know, like an engineer that might actually get hired on one of these stations to do proper management of the power supply, rather than just pumping as much power onto the line as possible
Also the kind of engineer that locks the engine airlock and uses it properly because Safety Protocol! And avoids directly connecting the solars except in emergencies.
Though one of these days I'm going to do something like vent the engine compartment, just to give unexpecting antags a fright. I haven't decided whether or not that would be 'proper protocol', since it would make the engine room completely unsafe to enter XD

I beg to differ. Saftey shmafety.

if nanotrasen installations were designed with safety in mind the outer fucking hull wouldn't be a paperthin sheet of plasteel with some rods on top and glass holes placed semi-randomly in the whole getup

[Kydrasz]

Space Station 13 is that one place where Nanotrasen sends everyone it kind of wants gone but isn't willing to go through the trouble of actually killing them.

Or once in a blue moon, it's actually a place that gets things done properly.

[TGameCo]

Server down?

I disagree, to an extent. SS13 is staffed by security crew. You may believe they are incompetent, that they are mental rejects with violence issues.
HOWEVER!
Shall we look at the track-record?
Stopped terrorists.
Stopped Alien-body stealers.
Stopped Nuke-Ops.
Stopped Vox.
Stopped Xenomorphs.
Stopped Revolutions.
Stopped Magical Fuckwits.

The list goes on and on. They're the first-line of defense, and they're badasses.

[Kriellya]

Server down?

Looks like. I think it went down sometime last night. Clearly I should have mentioned it

All the more reason to be a highly safety conscious engineer! If I've been sent to this death trap to die, the least I can do is prevent *my* personal death trap from killing me

Yeah if they get their stuff together they're badasses. But only if.
Failures!
Slipped on a banana peel and died because of it.
Lost to a revolution consisting of a mime, an assistant and two engies.
Tases fellow members in attempt to get the bad guy.
Half is convinced the other half is evil and should be taken down.
Slipped on water and died because of it.
Lost a fight against unarmed prisoners in perma.
Stuns themselves trying to hit someone else.

Server's down btw.

Oh goddammit, Glloyd's gonna have fun once BS12 pulls their dev the next time - someone went and did a ton of stuff-stealery from NT and /vg/, including stuff like the suits and jackets, catwalks and so on.
