ZN23X

Not to mention...the LEAST likely I was expecting to have some meaning behind the abbreviation. Well done @Chronarch! A+++ Don't judge a b̶o̶o̶k̶ bot by its cover!

BUT...MY SPARE CIGARETTE!!!

No wai...you draw?

Fleas can effect humans too. RL experience. So make them effect anything with blood lol Anything that makes showering a useful mechanical function in game I'm good with.

...and harder to deal with as antags, when emagged.

I'm very pro-security and anti-antag and using tracking implants on anything other than perma or paroled prisoners feels a bit too powergamey to me. It'd make me feel as filthy as the antags that powergame too hard.

I've been a field medic plenty of times as a the brig doc. Just take some first aid kits or a few pill bottles with patches in an. Especially exciting in blob rounds.

Also if anyone gives you a hard time about moving the chems fridge into the supply room, just tell them to contact IAA ?

I think this is just a preference thing. Honestly whenever I'm the Mechanic I always go over to cargo and turn in my goggles for a helmet because I like the look I have with a welding helmet flipped up over goggles on my forehead lol I just realized I regularly work a bunch of jobs that are handed a pair of welding goggles at the beginning of the round, maybe that's why I don't see the appeal ??? That being said: +1 for they don't need to be added to the autolathe

I am okay with this because you'll at least need to locate someone with medical access and you'll sort of be asking them for help...even if it's with a banana or some other slipping device. Realistically my ultimate goal here is to force more player interaction so this counts lol

I've run into situation on the shuttle multiple times where a maint drone gets into either the security or command part of the shuttle and slaughters everyone because they are too hard to hit. I can't even disable them with a flash like I could do to a borg. Or at least flashing them hasn't stopped the slaughter. Maybe they are blind clicking.

Alright I'll be proactive. Instead of addressing one of the issues that leads to powergaming we are yet again forced to fight fire with fire. Any time I work Medbay I'll just grab the wrench from cryo, move the fridge into the medical supplies room and patch the hole in the wall with metal from some of the chairs lying around. If anyone breaks into the room I'll report them to sec for B&E, trespassing, and petty theft (oddly petty theft under space law shows someone stealing meds from this exact room). They'll get 20-30 in the brig and people will learn to live with it. I suggest anyone here who shares my view does the same.

I don't know how this devolved to resulting in piles of bodies in Medbay. This sometimes happens even with the chems fridge where it's currently located, with everyone having access to it, when it's well stocked. It doesn't make sense to argue that restricting the chems fridge would cause this to happen when it already happens with an unrestricted fridge. At times the station is so chaotic that an overwhelming amount of bodies piles up regardless of how competent or incompetent Medbay is. Everyone dies, sometimes early, sometimes unfairly, and sometimes you cannot be brought back for one reason or another.

I agree with this as well but that's a whole nother battle lol

Wasnt my intention to promote powergaming when posting this. Thanks for giving everyone the idea ???

Another thread made me think of one of the greatest flaws in Medbay that promotes powergaming. Why is it that ANYONE has access to the chems fridge? As long as the fridge is stocked, it allows anyone to come in Medbay and completely bypass doctors to heal anything aside from complex things that meds alone can't fix. I think it should be like the Nanomeds(son) and only people with medical access should be able to use it. Maybe even just putting the chems fridge in a room that only medical has access to. Move it up to where one of the pill bottle lockers is. Or the "medbay locker room" right behind the reception desk. That way in EXTREME emergencies the CMO can give the door(s) emergency access so anyone can use it, but it would put the fridge in a more secure location under normal circumstances. I feel this change would reduce powergaming and allow for more RP opportunities...and make less doctors go SSD because they are bored or aggravated that everyone is doing thier job for them.

THIS mindset is a powergaming mindset in general. Doctors SHOULD be healing people. Slow down and tell a doctor you are hurt, tell them what happened to you, allow them to fix you. Don't be in such a hurry. Just gave me an idea for a new suggestion.

I just make sure I have a first aid kit or a pill bottle with a few patches on me. More important to use my revolver to neutralize the threat then worry about fixing the damage after.

+1 Tho realistically you can spawn as a civilian or any lesser role and be borged. I know the idea is to save that step but, roboticists new stuff to do too lol I bet @Jared12100 supports this

I'll do that when I get nuke ops again in a few months lol Thanks tho, didn't know I could do that.

Here's a "I died plz nerf dis" Sort of... Just rolled Nuke Ops for the first time in 2-3 months. My regular character has a mechanical heart. I was unaware my nuke op apparently also has a mechanical heart because of this. I died to a fellow nuke ops EMPed a borg near us. *I* even though of getting EMP implant which I apparently would have killed myself with. Can Nuke Ops be altered to just spawn as a generic meatbag instead of carrying over my other character's traits? I know the easy solution is don't have a mechanical heart. It leads to some interesting situations IC from time to time and follows my characters backstory.

I don't like the no eating or breathing virus...it feels like cheating lol

I unfortunately don't think many experienced players enjoy playing chef too often, I end up living off vending machines more often than not. I agree with what Tay say about reporting stuff to sec but also wanted to add that if it's later in the round sec can usually be very busy. The busier sec is, the less likely they are too care about smaller crimes. I know when I'm HOS I'll sometimes get bombarded by PDA messages about people reporting stuff that we either can't or don't need to do anything about. When I'm warden or HOS I mostly try to keep an eye on comms. Medbay...sort of like the food...hit and miss depending on who's working. When I'm in Medbay I make it a point to try to treat everyone as fast as possible, some people are either not as capable or just lazy.

If not...to bad! I'm that exceptionally r̶o̶b̶u̶s̶t̶ clumsy green eyed red head in security that many of you have come to love or hate! ? NERD ALERT Tetra is a character I originally created in Anarchy Online back in 2001 (yes, my character in a video game is as old or older than some of you and I am in fact THAT old) and I've used her in any game that has had a character creator since. She has her own personality in my mind and I've grown quite attached to her. Occasionally a goofy Unathi named Chakax who speaks bad E̶n̶g̶l̶i̶s̶h̶ Galactic Common or rarely stereotypical "robotic" IPC named KR4-3SHA who REALLY likes her robot drugs and regularly gets mistaken for a vampire...and a man... despite being a machine with a female chassis. I began playing this in January after my friend told me an absurd story about thier first time playing the game. They were bored one night and found it on some "Top 100 Indie Games" list and said "Eh...why not?" So I too, said "Eh...why not?" figuring I'd play once or twice then move on. OH WAS I WRONG. I got sucked in like many others by the unique experiences and environment this game offers...something like no other. IN FACT! Stories about SS13 have become regular dinner table talk in my household. No joke! I get alot of "So what happened last night?!" My spouse who doesn't even play the game is as familiar with some of your names as I am! I'll be like "So Mike Murdo-" and I'll get interrupted with "Yea I know Mike, no need for the last name, continue the story" ??? While many video games in the past have eventually turned into me trying to grind out my character, get that new loot, or complete the story...this one is different. I play it to see what crazy thing I've never seen before is going to happen next. It keeps delivering. This has become my home away from home. The perfect ending to my long busy days after the rest of my family is asleep. I HAVE been much busier lately and opting for more sleep so haven't had as much time to play (don't be in a rush to grow up kids) but I promise that I'm not planning on going anywhere! Y'all are stuck with me. Maybe. Till I finally get bored. If ever. Probably never.

@Tayswift I was the IPC who was begging to come in your pod with you lmao My dusty (rusty?) character I rarely use who is mistaken for a vampire more than an IPC ???
