There is 0 reason you should be more likely to get the job you want by not readying up, and just late joining 2 seconds after round begins. I shouldn't be fucked out of a security roll cause the extra officer slots are only available to late joins. Late join slots should be composed of what slots are left over, not reserved slots. This feature doesn't help with giving jobs to real late joiners either, as these slots, particularly security officer slots, are taken near instantly after shift start. The exception is lowpop. As it stands this feature only serves to punish those readying up and further reward those who latejoin 1 second after shift start to avoid being an antags target.

I dont hate it. But I dont like it. I think as previous comments have made, it could advantage different type and amounts of screens, etc. And I believe that for not hyperdyper super IT-knowledge-people (like myself), it could make it more difficult? I might JUST be speaking for myself though, and I am known to like things to be as-it-was. It messes with my head. Although.. Autumn DOES look skinnier...

To be clear, this can be chalked up as a bug to be honest. Nerd ramble in the expandable below TLDR - This loads the highpop slots after the round has started, when really it should be before jobs are divvied out.

I don't think many people aim this way? Personally, I hole my cursor somewhere in the middle of my viewport and lead my shots. This wouldn't do much because you're not clicking the other person's sprite so no way to block the shot. Take a look at the Steam hardware survey if you want a general idea of what monitors most people are using. Keep in mind account for aspect ratio not resolution. Resolution is just pixel density which means nothing to SS13(pixel game lul). A quick google search will tell you what aspect ratio a certain resolution is.

Solution - Dont have your taskbar on the side like a gremlin That aside, I will fix things like the borg issue in due time, and I do want to make this as accessible as possible, its huge for the people who can use it, but I dont want to gimp the rest of the playerbase who cant. I have had one idea that is a best of both worlds but its also the most unreasonable thing in the world. If you click on someone outside of the 15x15 with a gun for example you get something about "you can't focus your aim this far away!" or similar. Its a cludge but it satisfies a piece of the balance issue. I am open to suggestions on how we sort this, since its a feature I want in, and a lot of other people do, but we cant impact the playerbase who dont play on 1080p. On that note I do want to profile what screen resolutions we get the most here, but I dont know of a good way to do that without snapping it with JS and something something GDPR. It would make for some nice figured I feel though.

I don't like having an advantage over people because of what kind of monitor I have. Either I see more than my opponent, or I have a more readable chatbox than my opponent. A little extra screen space isn't worth the balance implications.
