Name: DIN-KY Age: 7 Gender: Male Race: IPC Blood Type: OIL- General Occupational Role(s): Businessman, IPC community leader, designated IPC repairman Biography: DIN-KY is an IPC built by Rodinsky Robotics- prior to it being bought out by NT. As you might have guessed, the RO- and -S- have been scratched out in the meanwhile, leaving him quite the fitting nickname. DIN-KY has gone through a lot of damage throughout his short life, which he typically refers to as non-critical. After 3 years upon intially being constructed, DIN-KY had severe damage in his CPU. Not wanting to waste too many credits on an expensive replacement, the mechanic responsible for fixing him up replaced the CPU with that of an automated lawn mowing drone. Sadly, as a result of this, he suffers frequent CPU overusage - which he deals with by disabling non-critical systems and only enabling systems when they are actually needed. The 'unit' - as he frequently refers to himself with, can often be found troubleshooting; streamlining his software to not overburden his fragile insides - but also questioning other IPCs as to whether something he experiences is a fault or not. Qualifications: -Business - "Unit concludes raising of personal wealth will inevitably raise social standing." The rest...well, he tends to just download rudimentary software when needed. Employment Records: -Firefighting Unit on Synthetica - "Unit detects hazard in line 34 and 65 of fire.exe" -Repair Unit - Specialty: IPC repair Security Records: - Medical Records: -Singed CPU - "I cannot stress this enough, the next time his monitor turns black replace that thing." -A doctor

All my this. Pretty much a more elaborate explanation of how I see it. Cheers. :]

My blunt opinion: I think it'd make antag roles much less enjoyable/interesting if you're pretty much shielded / carried instead of having to be stealthy at all times. There's a reason there's a bag that you can hide stuff under a panel with, not to mention a locker room. You don't have to keep carrying your antag gear around - you choose to. Not just that, but if rules like these were in place, I can just see endless ahelp debates "admun! DERE WAS NO PROOF!!!111 BS!!111" The way I see it, antag roles are meant to be interesting. The odds are meant to be heavily stacked against you. It's not supposed to be a fair fight in the slightest, I love that feeling of how a slight slipup can fuck me over when trying to do my objective.

Welcome to the Netherlands. Home of windmills, tulips, Delfts blauw and bicycle lanes.

"Deus vult!" has probably become one of the most common catchphrases between our characters whenever any form of shit goes down on the server. I find it amusing.

Vitaly Kovalenko yells from a crowd: Why are all Castiles so grossly obese?

*Mixes iron with uranium* Also hi. :-]

Speaking of ordering. It'd be cool if additional options become available in emergencies (gamma, etc)

Simple suggestion: Make it so medibots, cleanbots and floorbots use manipulators. The higher grade manipulators, the quicker they perform their tasks

Thank you, I will make good use of this guide.

He is the protector of the disturbingly drowsy. A light for the suddenly sleep depraved. A beacon of hope for the crazily comatosed. Protector of those struck by the monstrosity that is SSD. Woe those who dare loot an unconcious body in his presence. But who is this masked muchacho? This dashing daredevil? The NT records, small as they may be call him a vigilante. But to the people of the station he is only known as....... Snore-o S Could be done by: To do list: -Zorro-ish mask/hat -Black cape (recoloured bedsheets) -Leather boots (modified jackboots) -Copy paste claymore code, different textures/values

I think using existing textures wouldn't work seeing the whole torso-legs-arms deal isn't uniform positioned and therefor looks weird. Making some new parts to use with such a system however should eliminate that?

NSS Cyberiad Modular mechs The general idea: The current set of mechs we have are already pretty cool. But what if we took mechs to the next level? What if we had the ability to actually design and hand craft our mechs rather than use set blueprints? I know for sure a company like NanoTrasen would be tempted to showcase new, efficient designs. It could even create a new non-antag objective. For example: "NSS Cyberiad. We need a new design for a Medical mech in Sol. Design, create and test a mech with the following specifications: -Must use light weight materials -The pilot must have adjustable lights -The mech must have an arm equipped with high quality manipulators -The mech must have military grade medical scanners" Modular mechs are in every sense prototypes. As such protolathes would be the likely way to aqquire parts. Parts would have their own assembly steps that will decide their quality prior to actually being attached to a chassis. So, modular design As seen in the image above, there'd be categories. All parts would have some general choices - and some part specific choices. General: -What (mixture of) materials are used? A mech made of ordinary metal would be cheaper and lighter than one made of pure plasteel. --A mixture of some materials potentially raising resistances against certain damage. -What's the purpose? (See categories below) -Protection, speed(weight costs), energy efficiency Specifics: -The head: What type of sensors does it have (med/sec)? Lights? Scanners? X-ray? Meson? What communication apparatuses are available? -Chest: Battery charged? Power station? If so, what type of fuel? Extra equipment/systems to keep operator alive? -Arms: Quality of on-board manipulators, matter bins or lasers. Tools (see categories below) -Lower body: Dictates how much weight the mech can actually carry. Will these legs let the operator manouver at high speed? Or will the mech be so heavy they might as well use a modified mulebot to carry it around? -Armour (if applicable) Will a sheet of glass do or is there need for 200mm of diamond coated plasteel? You decide! For this idea I felt it be necessary to separate the designs into two categories. -Utility; so Medical, Engineering, Mining. Think high quality, but extremely expensive to build techs like mobile cryo pods, automated surgery wards. Less expensive techs as mobile part printers. Built in cutting/matter holding facilities that let the engineers truely patch hull breaches like never before. Mobile toxin filters that can get rid of those round-breaking plasma leaks. A mixture of cryo and fire fighting techniques that can take out the worst of fires. Or lastly, high tech mining techs that will likely push quotas up, up and up. -Combat; so Security. Basically anything that the armoury would have but bigger, better. I'm not as creative with weapon techs. So if anyone finds the ideas I have remotely interesting I'll let you fill this in. The combat mechs require a randomly generated number, requested by 2 heads swiping simultaneously to activate - because this is talking tech that could potentially out-class a Phazon-Durand hybrid (In my head anyway) ============================================================================ Ideas? Thoughts?

Oh hi, one of the few decent security players I know. c:

I present to you the "Skrek-Plucka 3000" A portable organ harvesting device. This device is used to relieve "skreks" of their internal organs. The device is exruciatingly painful as it doesn't use anaesthetics, comes with a built in freezer to hold organs. After being used on a person it engulfs them in a cryogenic field - after all stealing some dusty lungs is less of a crime than outright murder. Could potentially be an extra mission objective too.

I think that in 500+ years there'd be far different / diverse narcotics. But the way I see it you'd need to have papaver / coca plants in hydroponics for coke/opium Also - diamorphine / heroine would just be a step up from morphine from what I have just conveniently looked up. o-O "Diamorphine is produced from acetylation of morphine derived from natural opium sources" Source

A pod for engineers perhaps? Because sometimes repairs are so extensive, it's better to do things in one trip. :-]

I am Vitaly Kovalenko, former head security of the NSS Cyberiad. It was shocking to suddenly hear that all contracts were torn up. Sections split into nations. I knew which direction we were headed. I've heard about it before. It was going to be a big ass power struggle and I will have no part in it. I left my men behind. Formally now citizens of "Brigston". What an unoriginal name, I know. I had it styled like a western democracy - though funnily enough I never had elections. Meeting with the head of Cargonia; the former section of cargo, I described to the quartermaster what I wished to do. Brigston was to formally surrender all its assets - on the following conditions: 1. Cargonia will give amnesty for anything Brigstoneers had done up until that point. 2. Cargonia will provide full citizenship for any and all members of Brigston. 3. Cargonia must be styled a democracy, or we would take no part. The quartermaster luckily accepted the demands - though they were struck by an acute case of SSD. They told me that I must lead the new nation in their place. As self styled leader of Brigcargonia, I ordered all my former Brigstoneers to move all our equipment to our new home - it is only good that happened as well, later we would find out an IPC by the name of SINA had broken into the armoury. Sucker, it was empty all along. The former NT rep paid me a visit later that "shift". We were to have a civilized resolution signed - in which I guaranteed Brigcargonia would be at peace with other signing nations, and in which we guaranteed delivering materials to other nations. ====================================================== Later that day, it would have appeared some citizens felt like our laws are to be taken lightly. Betraying the nation, they commited several acts of aggression. Without further delay.... the nations of the treaty earlier that day all simultaneously declared war on us. I knew that I had to keep the people safe. Not only our own - but it would be a useless waste of human life if I allowed our soldiers to unleash lethal weapons onto people besieging the nation. I didn't even know we had traitors in our midst at that time... Why would they declare war on us anyway? I did what had to be done. I grabbed onto my headset.... and offered an unconditional surrender. - The other nations seemed to be a bit hesitant to consider it at first. It would then be made clear to me what happened. Two of the former cargonians had commited atrocities... I told "Commandium" I'd allow peace keeping forces to arrest the traitors of Brigcargonia .... a truce took effect. Later the decision was made that these two.... inhumane pieces of trash were to be borged. You have no idea how relieved I was, when the other nations accepted a peace treaty. No true Brigcargonians were hurt... lives were safe. That is all that mattered. ================================== I tried sending a letter to central command. I..... lied about our ability to cover the legal costs that caused everyone's dismissal. .... I know they'd sue me... but I had to keep the civilians safe. If we could all be re-hired... at least the younger crew members would have a future. The letter remained unanswered. But it's consequences are clear as crystal. ================================== The medics... out of all people. Medics. they genetically enhanced themselves.... then made some sort of horrible virus. But there was hope. It looks like central forgot to turn off the automated shift rotation protocols... a shuttle was on it's way. I ordered my men - and asked anyone else who wished for a safe journey home to proceed to the pods at arrivals. ================================== We made it. Safe and sound. And I'm somewhat relieved that so many retained their humanity. .... I just hope the other nations' civilians were as lucky. The lawsuit... it's well on its way. I know I can't pay for any of it. I will be financially ruined. Cory. If you find this letter, please give this letter to Tanya Kovalenko; my sister. ========================================= (OOC) TL;DR: Nations round, security did not murderbone.

Could just copy the way changelings use their stings?

The way I see it - most nations don't really benefit from taking out the AI. All the AI does is prevent inhuman acts, as in - blind murderboning / not feeding captives, torture, destruction of the station to where it becomes inhospitable, that sorta thing.

Well I could probably work on some stuff / otherwise requests. Though I'm not really sure what format to actually use for SS13. Like, PNG, 64x64? That sorta stuff.

It's been a while since I did any pixely stuff but here you go:

I remember fondly, being the CMO. A shuttle was called when all the hallways and medbay were bloody. I faxed Central Command with a letter of concern. A moment later, central sent a squad of "elite janitorial" ERT. It was a beautiful day. Thanks for this guide by the way, I think faxes are incredibly underused - beside request consoles that is.
