I don’t see bridge hobos as a negative by themselves. I do see bridge hobos as a negative when they: Crowd primary hallway with difficult to traverse terrain, buildings, vending machines, tables, walls, and windows (without CE approval. Which is never.) Spout incoherent nonsensical shit at command trying to get their attention for something stupid (“Captain givbe me ur soap ehehehe aren’t I quirky? I’m not gonna stop *scream spamming until you do! Fucking comdom”) Try to break into the bridge by dismantling windows and generally other tider behavior and then throwing a pissy fit when sec comes to brig their ass and they start screaming “shitsec! Riot!” When bridge hobos aren’t doing these things, yea, it’s usually cause they wanna just vibe and hang out with the added backround noise of listening in on the goings on of the bridge and centralized nature of the bridge area. Like having the TV on while you’re in a conversation. It’s just backround noise. As long as hobos aren’t being shitters, I don’t see them as a problem. If command desires, they can slam the shutters and ignore them. ———————————— On assistant titles: If I recall, we did away with “businessman, tourist, civilian” job titles because that seemed to give people the idea that “I don’t work here. You can’t tell me what to do. So fuck off and how dare you suggest I go do work, HoP.” I’m exaggerating, but I think this was the general behavior. “I don’t work here and am in no way expected to have to listen to anyone”. Having everyone as an assistant helps reign that mentality back a bit. Yes, you do work here. Nothing is generally expected of you, but stop trying to claim sections of maints as your sovereign territory or whatever it is you justify doing as a “civilian”. Personally I feel the removal of the alt titles have been a slight improvement, but it’s nothing catastrophicly game changing. There will always be tider assistants, regardless of what the job title says on their ID. Besides. We all live for the moment admemes let Mr Antagman minibomb the hobos. Teach those bums a lesson. Edit: I’m convinced bridge hobos do it for the backround noise and central location. You don’t have bridge hobo culture (at least not as strongly) on Farragus because it’s not centralized and bridge command is out of sight at the computer area

That's a good point. But you used Farragus in it so it's invalid.

I hope many of you have encountered him yet and like my Sassy machine as I like playing them. I know some of you already does!

The support wasn't 'that' big but besides that: It didn't work. Players already said on the PR that it would most likely only diminish creative freedom and not change much else, as you can't just 'force' someone to play differently, and I agree. I think the current PR up is a good one. https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/22701

IPCs should be able to perform surgery on themselves. It just makes sense because it's not even real surgery, you just open the hatch on a limb. The only problem could be identity configuration surgery but you could just make it so that you need to use a multitool on an extracted brain.
