[Vactor]

Server has been updated and is back up.

[Mapleguy555]

Thanks Vactor!

[Cheedows]

Thanks Vactor. So what does this update bring?

[Glloyd]

A bunch of things! I was busy with finals in the last two weeks, so I didn't get as much done as I wanted to, but there's still some fun stuff in there. Most of what I did was requests actually. Tons of bugfixes, tons of mapfixes (supermatter eject works now). A security outpost has been added to the planet, along with an engineering outpost. You can dig pits on the planet by attacking the ground with a shovel a few times, and you can bury people alive in those pits. You can also erect a grave if you attack the pit with some wood. You can also write on the graves and whatnot. Stationside, suit cyclers have been added everywhere, and a bunch of RIGS have been added to the station. There's also some special stuff for the ERT, wrenches have a 50% chance of spawning with a different icon, and a bunch of things for admins to spawn. Oh, and an alternate outfit for blueshields!

Come to think of it, what are Blueshields? As in, what do they do?

[KingofstarrySkies]

Defend the Heads at all costs.

Protect the heads of staff, IAA and any CentComm officials on the station at any cost. Your life, and the life of the crew, are nothing when compared to theirs.

Pretty much space secret service.

[AH]

Yeah more or less.

Altshield looks like budget ERT when you wear the body armor. It's kind of cool in a mercenary ish way. With the coat... not very good, probably because of the automatic blue tie the coat adds. Not a very formal look, but it has that... 'touch the captain and I'll break your legs' feel with the armor.

More like "act as head of Security with near dictatorial power" most times. Though "protect the heads" is their nominal role, just like "entertain the crew" is the nominal role of the clown, whereas "be a general pain in the ass to everyone and borderline grief whoever reacts most" is the normal role they take.

I have never seen a blueshield act like that a single time. What shields are you watching?

[Glloyd]

That was another great wiz round. Thanks to Wer for giving me the idea for the hunter! Seeing as that's the second time in two days that I've had a wiz suggest me an idea for a good round, if I have time and a wiz suggests me something fun, I'm willing to roll with it and make a mini event out of it in the future.

[AH]

Does he even play anymore?

Spoiler: Meanwhile on Urist (click to show/hide)

Excellent wiz round.

[My Name is Immaterial]

That was easily the best round I've played in a long time. Definitely in the top three of my all-time list. Major props to everyone, especially Wer6 and Glloyd.
If that ending wasn't so perfect, I would have been a bit more pissed that no one came back for R.A.L.P.H.; he got hit by an EMP, and was knocked out. What happened after that? I saw gunfire, but that's it.

[Liction]

I ordered so many guns that people stopped picking up guns.

I blew open the windows, gunned down a couple people, had a laser sword battle with someone and then Sven (I think) rushed me and pushed me out the shuttle window. Good stuff.
