Except bread is referring to BS12 I assume, where the average round can last up to two or three hours, I would be incredibly angry if I spent all that type staring at a black screen.

Like the Rouge MediBot Army incident...

I am chuckeling just thinking about it.

Please Cajoes, elaberate.


Also: If a traitor uses plasma instead of NO, I will applaud them, because there are not enough plasma fires aboard this ship. However, just using NO doesn't really create an interesting round. A bomb would be more interesting, even though those rounds tend to be boring anyway. Also, if someone did have internals on for whatever, reason, they could simply give everyone else internals yet probably a few people, like in EVA, would be missed, therefore leaving them the rest of the round just staring at a black screen.

Well, N2O could be fixed by simply making it more realistic.

Wikipedia says that it inhibits anxiety, reduces pain, and may cause brain damage after a very long time (hours), but never mentions any sort of loss vision or anything.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide#Neuropharmacology


So, perhaps if it made a player's health appear (to them) significantly higher, and suppressed other HUD warnings, it would be both more realistic and less likely to cause a bad round. Slightly reduced movement speed might also work well. (Imagine the fun of releasing a poison of some sort and this hypothetical new version of N2O at the same time. People don't see that they are losing health (unless they use a medical scanner, I guess), but they are, making it easier but far from easy for the traitor)

Now, if it is already serving as gameplay rather than realism, perhaps a combination would work, so that as the dosage increases, there are greater effects, but it takes a very high dosage to completely knock out a player, high enough that it couldn't be distributed through atmospherics alone and reach such levels.

It was a road paved with good intentions, the Captain, in his infinite glory, used a majority of the Station's resources (And it was the turtle-station design at the time) to create a small personal army of medical assistance droids, to cover any medical emergency.

Naturally, the traitor used his Syndicate Licence (cryptograph) card to subtly alter the crude AIs into administering lethal shots rather than medications (difference being in dosage, I imagine).

He then spilled some plasma on all decks, not much, but sufficent for a majority of the station to contract toxin related injuries, which triggered the Rogue army's sensors and intense desire to 'help'.

After two or three casualties, the rest of the station personell barricaded themselves within the medical and research wings trying to think of a plan to bypass the horde or well intentioned but murderous robots in the hallway outside. Slowly chipping through them with hit and run attacks. Leaving the traitor free to finish his objectives and call for the evacuation shuttle.

There was a lot of anger that evening.

The Rouge MediBot Army incident...

See, that's the reason I miss playing this game. I haven't touched it in about a year though, what all has changed?

[breadbocks]

We've gotten at least two whole new jobs with new systems, in addition to piloting which comes with a new mode, and nuke mode was finally made functional.

[Nikov]

Do security officers still suffer out-of-game punishment for in-character decisions?

[IHateOutside]

If you mean that traitors whine like hell when they are caught, yes that still happens quite a lot.

Found these interesting videos on SS13 on youtube:

BREAKING NEWS: The clown has been removed from goon servers!

[breadbocks]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Krath]

Just a thought since I hopped onto Baystation today just to see what it's like. I normally play Goon servers.

Is there any way you guys could reduce the lag from atmospherics? Goon Station did something with their atmospheric coding that involved removing vents and such, and it got rid of almost all lag. Explosions on Baystation however, remind me of Donut Station, where a meteor impacting the hull will lag the game for a good 30-45 seconds.

Yeah, just a thought since I have no Baystation experience and am spoiled by the goon servers.

I think I recall hearing that what they did was basically remove the atmospherics system entirely, and replace it with something incredibly simple. Though there is probably plenty of room for optimizing the current BS12 system...

[Micro102]

The good part about SS13 was "who could kill the most creatively". Taking out atmos really hampered that.
