They also need to take the fax machine out of the captains office, because now the rep has no reason to exist.

If they were antags this wouldn't be an issue. I am talking about non-antags who get caught hacking, or stealing, or beating someone. Then they freak out and decide that the AI must be malf, cuz no AI would ever catch them!

THIS

I feel it is totally fair. It is nearly impossible to win otherwise, as they will just cut into the walls and devour you from behind.

I am keeping it as a suggestion to everyone. I understand that people will be dicks, that's fine. I cannot tolerate people deciding for themselves that you are rogue, and taking it upon themselves to deactivate you. It is often from non-antags too, as antags are smart enough to just subvert me. It's starting to get on my nerves, it's been happening a lot lately.

While this applies to everything in game, this goes doubly when dealing with AI's and borgs. You people need to understand that they are played by humans. Not everything is actually going to be perfect. We can't open every fucking door, when we get 15 requests a second. We can't uncuff everyone. We don't have time to write in every reason for arrest on the countless crimes we witness. We don't usually care your intentions for committing a crime. Once you are caught don't argue. If something goes wrong, don't blame the AI and call him rogue. Don't try and subvert or kill him, out of rage and frustration. When you call him rogue all it does is frighten the hole station and make his job harder. So next time something goes wrong, don't blame the AI. Don't blame anyone. Just fix it.

It's less competence of the crew, and more paranoia (things that are often inversely related) If they do so much as spot one blue APC, have telecoms not work once, find one door that is bolted or shocked, the comms will flood with accusations of being rogue. Regardless if you actually did anything or not. After that you have two minutes to qualm them before they go ape shit and break into your core.

Get to work ponies! You got a lot of space barbed wire to make!

Crazy idea for a new game mode. Not to be taken seriously. The entire station is converted into a prison, and the majority of the crew are prisoners. They would be like antags, with specific goals. Either they are in a gang, or a standard prisoner. The normal prisoners will have one objective: Get off station. The gang members would have a series of kill objectives, asking them to kill rival gang members. The other half of the players would become security, who would perform their normal duties, with the added task of keeping anyone from leaving. The command staff would be taken out, and the HoS and Warden would become the only two command staff. The AI would have a new set of laws: 1) Protect security 2) Keep prisoners from leaving 3) Keep prisoners alive. Naturally the station would need minor adjustments. The bar would lose the bar, and keep only the kitchen area. The wooden tables would become all metal and drab. The escape corridor would be off limits to prisoners, and would contain security checkpoints to get near. Science would become a second staging area for security. The brig would act like maximum security prison. The dorms would need to be much larger and work like cells. Engineering would contain only a few well behaved prisoners. Medical would be comprised of real doctors, who would need guarding from dangerous prisoners. As such access to the medbay would be off limits without security escort. Maintenance would become a quick way for security to get from one place to another, and would be off limits to prisoners. It would be rad.

Wow, I actually learned a lot from you guys! Things I need to do: -Obviously hack lots of APC's out of sight. -Use borgs and telescience to move to telecomms -Let no one into my core, but make them believe I am still there. -Have borgs steal all AI core chips (this became a problem last time) -Take out chem -Make sure atmos is populated by weak idiots -Wait -Call Delta -Shut down telecomms -Flood station with CO2 -Declare Delta -Use borgs to take out anyone that could harm me -Use telescience to relocate humans to space -In the event of an extreme emergency, learn to shunt

Playing as a malf AI is nearly impossible. I have seen the AI win only twice in the six months I have played. Giving the borgs under their control the ability to use fire arms would make the malf AI winnable. Because currently you are just waiting until you are spotted, which is often not long as there are only so many remote APCs to hack. Then you send your borgs, equiped with only non-lethal weapons going up against a station of pissed off, angry, and well armed humans.

Once again in english please

Ponies is too damn good at his job! If I'm gone for more than a few days I am slapped with an 80Mb download before I can join. And you all know how Byond is. 0.1Mb/s download speeds. There are times where whole rounds pass by before I finish. You guys should find a way for players to download the patch files externally.

I am a geeky 16 year old who has a love for RP. I typically play as Derek Green, and try and learn all I can about the game, as I am pretty new. I know the basics of most jobs, except engineering.
