Woosh, sounds very cool. But don't you think that human nose is not... sensitive enough to detect such pheromones? What if you're on internals?!
-
Irrelevant. It's not the same. And there are some useful text announcements too, for instance - reasoning behind red alert or important status updates. Just because you wouldn't use this feature doesn't mean other AIs won't. AI is a very important role and its commands or warnings get lost in the radio chatter way too easily.
-
No text announcements.
-
Almost poetic. There's a problem. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/briefly "The Kidan goes limp, their antennae twitching briefly before stopping moving entirely..." This sounds better.
-
Yeah, I'm just not sure if I like the word "haphazardly" here. But you got my point. Maybe something like "twitching"? Like in cartoons. Maybe we could include the phrase "for the last time". EDIT: also it's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_%28biology%29 antennae, so my bad.
-
It's not bad. It's logical and imperative. You want the station to die when all of command is dead and there are breaches everywhere? When the captain is away fighting some kind of wretched demon and asks the AI to call the shuttle, it's good. Why would it be bad? The AI is meant to guard the station and supplement the command crew. The AI has special laws. AI acts according to the laws. Not being able to call the shuttle would be a slap in the face.

Kida! Eyes not move! Antennas move! Make it so antennas do not move when a Kidan dies.

"AI, WHY YOU SHOCK DOORZ?" "AI IS ROGUE!" "AI SABOTAGED GRAV GEN!" "AI IS KILL SINGULO" Two words: Emagged Borgs.
-
The AI is a command-supplemental role, not command. While I'd love to be the dictator the station deserves, I don't think it's fair. The only thing that should not be controversial is the text announcement. But without the need for a console. Just use a simple verb.
-
Same here. Alternatively, you could scale the number of AI slots, so you'd have 2 AIs for 70 people, for instance, and 3 AIs for 100.
-
If you find one AI insufficient, build another one. And another one. I know the pain of having a shitty/absent AI, but you can't do it this way for reasons explained above. If you want to buff the AI's intel gathering capabilities, suggest an adjustable view range for it - for instance the 17x17 we used to have.

Additional Means to Open Locked Containers (Crates, Lockers)

My life is ruined. -
I agree with this. If anything the only items on here that sound good are the switchblade (Bay has a butterfly knife you can make), wrist wraps (maybe just apply gause to your hands for a little extra punch but that would require extra coding than item includes) and debatable on the fiber wire. That last one could make an interesting antag weapon and really bring in the fear of murder as well as feeling like a badass for strangulating someone Seconded. I'd like to see Hitman-style fiber wire action (for traitors only), even if I'm always on the receiving end.

It's messy. It takes longer. It makes you look like a psycho. It can be easily stopped by your local security patrol or the occassional doctor. Janitor has to clean up the mess. You make noises that distract other people. If only we all had a plastic bag we could easily commit suicide with...

Yes. I'd say - let it be possible for lockers to explode in giant explosions, but that's it. To have any semblance of reality, please. (If they do not explode already) But then again we'd have random high-priority shit scattered around... I guess that's very bad. -
I was asked to send a similar photo to CC! And the damned FAX ate my ID because of power outage! Had to wait for a fucking blueshield to help me out!!!
-
The "this person has commited suicide" examine description should be enough to tell the doctors that the body should go straight to morgue. And when it goes to morgue and the lights lit up green, you should clone it. Sounds simple enough, huh? You shouldn't be deliberately making cloning harder. If people don't know any better, then it's their fault for wasting their own time at the cloner.
-
Was that the allegedly "friendly" statue that roamed the bar when we had major power sink problems?
-
Whose idea was it to make those who commit suicide harder to clone? What's the reasoning behind that? Sorry, I digress, I just think it should be pointed out while we're discussing the rationale behind the suicide verb. If the reasoning is that it'd be possible to use suicide as an inefficent scrying orb (ghost realm knowledge), then I think it's quite invalid as you're not supposed to use this kind of meta knowledge anyway. Sometimes you make a mistake or want to tease somebody. Why would you penalize this particular method? I can also definitely agree with NTSAM that this kind of death is not glorious and should not fullfil the glorious death objective.

You could also try the American satanism, but I guess it wouldn't be the same without competing religions.

A game I invented. Playing Russian Cig Roulette - expert + lethal version, where there are two special cigs: one is loaded with 15 units of plasma and will rip your hand off, and the other one is clean. The winner gets to smoke a cig and is out of this dangerous game. The loser gets wounded. The rest of the cigs are loaded up with 5-10 units of plasma. 6 cigs for 2-3 players, 12 cigs for 4 players. The original (most basic) version includes welder fuel - the loser would go out with a harmless bang. It's quite fun!

That's a swell idea. Anybody willing to code it? Seeing as we'd have to make a transition from snowflake coding to something more versatile...
