All you would need t fix that is to set the mob's .buckled to NULL during the startup process.

So what are the current ideas for new features(BS12)?

[vagel7]

How about a cloning pod?

Although i like the idea of an inner bridge,somewhere where the captain or the head's can retreat to for protection,it would be really hard to get into any other way.

I know what i want. Space Kobolds. That or beards. Large ones.

Better yet, a mode like the blob, but the blob is a beard that appears randomly on a crewmember, and he uses it to kill everyone.

And remove the nuke thingy

Why?

[Cthulhu]

It goes off too early.  Especially in dedicated blob mode, there just isn't enough time to kill it before it spreads to a point where the station self-destructs.

If a blob shows up in a different mode you have a better chance, since by that point people have been making bombs and flamethrowers, but it's still very difficult to kill the blob in time.

I don't think the nuke should be removed though, I think it should just destroy the station when a higher percentage has been eaten.

Still banned from Headswe's server due to guest IP, please unban.

[qwertyuiopas]

Can it be disabled?

If so, then you could disable it and let the blob take the station, while building a detatched micro-station and live on it, occasinoally raiding blob-teritory for supplies. However, this would require that some objects survive the blob, maybe a random chance each time the blob takes a turf it is on?

Anyway, there was some discussion of an alien mode of some sorts.  A certain Wolf89 or somesuch had some ideas, but they were mostly "Let's reskin zombie mode and call it alien mode"

Here's my idea:

One player starts out as an alien that can mimic the host perfectly.  He looks exactly like whoever he was going to become, and has all of the person's memories.  Missions could vary between infecting a specific player, escaping on the shuttle alone, and similar things to traitor.

The alien can infect a helpless (Buckled down, cuffed, unconscious) human by some ability, I dunno, at which point he becomes an alien, identical to the human infected.

Obviously the quarantine No Shuttle No Escape No Mercy rule would be in effect, and the AI would be required to prevent people from leaving the ship.

Where things would really get crazy is when the alien stops appearing as a human.  I'm thinking the alien would have an option to instantly gib, revealing the true alien, which would be very dangerous in close quarters, but would need some kind of weakness.  Fire seems like an obvious one.  If we wanted to go the The Thing route, we could instead allow it to simply mutate into a hideous humanoid form.  If we went that way, maybe it could only be killed by fire, and anything else simply gibs it, the gibs having claws and the like and being able to attack.  That might be hard to code though.

Some speculative stuff.  Obviously the alien would need some kind of special abilities in human mode too, or it'd just be traitor with infection.  Maybe it has some kind of electromagnetic sense that allows it to see people through walls.  If that's the case, maybe using a taser on it temporarily or permanently destroys that ability.

There is nothing I hate more in this game than retarded security guards.

Hit me with a stun-baton, cuff me, buckle me into a bed, blindfold me, for drinking alcohol outside the bar.

Claim that's the crime of the century.  You're hilarious, man.

[Gbroderix]

for drinking alcohol outside the bar.

probably my fault for leaving it on the bar so that anyone could take it. also, the only reason i was beaten to death in the first place was because i was trying to rescue you.

[Cthulhu]

Did the server crash or something?

The only thing at fault here is lolsecurity.  I know you're roolplayan and all that garbage, but buckling a guy into a bed, blindfolding him, taking his mic, and never letting him out is worse than killing him.  It completely ruins the round for him.

That's like blowing up the station and crashing the server with a mixer bomb because you're roleplaying a psychopath.

[Rakonas]

server crashed apparently. I was just about to determine the effects of chloroform, too!

[Gbroderix]

That was a real fun round until i was beaten and then suffocated... oh wait... LOOSING IS FUN HERP A DERP
