Cycling airlocks are shit and collaborated with Hitler during WW2.
Use them VERY sparingly.
Minisat for AI is much more fun than on-station, and no departmental sub-atmos, please. Especially not old metastation style, where the AI couldn't access them.
If you can reach Metacide, he's probably willing to help. I have no idea how to reach anyone that doesn't hang out in IRC.
Cycling airlocks are essential with new atmos, but there's that. They should be used when you are absolutely and totally positive that very little air should be exchanged between areas and waiting is not an issue.
Also, an idea - we've got a tech storage, why not a furniture storage? Put some disassembled tables, roller beds and stools (pickupable with vg/bay).
Another thing - I was entirely serious about the bathrooms. Every department should have a tiny one with a toilet, shower, a sink and a mirror. Not only for realism, but for very practical reasons - Genetics has to use the mirror every now and then if they want to have hair, you want a place to wash those dirty shoes before you spread this blood/oil/vomit all around everywhere, and creates two possibilities for traitors - hiding stuff there, and showerkills.
The issue of tg versus vg is very important. Screw having to adjust items, but there are very practical concerns that arise. Medbay will need to be different. A lot. You'll need to make the design very streamlined, or even add another way through for Paramedics, so that you will be able to get critical patients to the right place fast. The engine is different, too, so remodeling Engineering. So is Virology.
