With half the station missing, and a wiped banlist, (We couldn't port the banlist from our old stuff to this new goon dev stuff) both admins and players can't expect a serious round, I know, I've been on the server, there is really too little of the station for one. This will get fixed, obviously, with time, two maps are under works, the port map and the new map, and I've never personally mapped with the goon dev, so I don't know if its harder or not, but what I'm saying is, a serious round is *barely* possible on the current, half done map, so everyone should really adjust their expectations for such. The code needs tweaking, you have to remember the goon code was built for the goons, who love their fun crazy style.

The map is half done, the admin stuff has been completely changed, (meaning most of us have to relearn most of the commands again, and get used to the very heavy changes) the old banlist is gone, and the code is heavily geared to a different playstyle most of us are not accustomed to, it's like expecting actors to still be able to act well in freezing cold water.

Long story short, enjoy your half-serious rounds, don't worry too much about the bans, you're not missing much currently, and they can always be removed when the awesome train gets going again.

Although the rounds have been REALLY LONG. Maybe that's just cause we always play extended though.
Also, I think there's some form of bug that creates lag as time goes on.
Maybe something to do with a loop or something.

The rounds are really long because there aren't many ways to kill people anymore. There's no fire, no explosive decompression, no plasma research to make a bomb, no engine, etc. etc. Personally I agree with Johbson wholeheartedly, and people need to be less concerned with saving lives as it prolongs the round, especially with the ability to save clone data and revive anyone no matter what happened to them.

a power sink would be useful to get station to evacuate. no engine means no staff at batteries, which means it is easy to mess with power.

I THINK the APCs were set to infinite power, but if you were going to use that, just tell an admin and they'll delete em.

What he means is, the APCs have an infinite power source though they do discharge properly. Without an engine all electricity on the station is generated through a magical battery of holding. Power sinks only cause temporary damage, unfortunately.

Wirecutters work very effectively for that purpose.

Attach the powersink right next to the SMES of infinity... powersinks explode after draining X power.

I have to ask: Why did we take the awesome thing we already had and decide to replace it with an unfinished goondev server with no features?

Maybe those with the sourcecode to the last version of Bay12 that we had before switching should release it?
