Science assistants needs access to ORM to get materials for science. I do also fear it would just be used to get some gear and have no responsibility. But honestly people already do that with regular jobs, and it's actually better if you take no real job slot if you gonna fuck around instead of work.

Always wanted this

Ah, it does not. It just solves the problem of pipes leaking when not caped if we implement it.

Yeah you don't need airflow if ambient pressure is 1 atmos. You just need airflow if room is under 1 atmos. Also the vents are not passive, they actively pump, so you can get airflow if you want even with supply at 1atm.

For supply pipes atmos could just keep pressure at one atmos in the network, that would prevent supply pipes from leaking at all. Waste would be a bigger problem as we dont have overflow valves ro make it easy to keep waste working and at 1atmos. Also if we needed so syphon a plasma fire or something it would leak through waste breach.

Also if you want to be complete there are a some things missing. Turbine can be upgraded, as can plasma generators and SMES. Also recycler, teleporter, holopad, thou i'm not sure if it's helpful. .

Took a look at the code and it does not seem like upgrading medical scanners does anything. Also for cryo apparently it changes the heat capacity of something. It uses the heat capacity in a formula to determine occupant temp, I think it makes the occupant temperature lower, but didn't check the math.

I think the chance is always 100%. Upgrading just makes so you can extract better genes. An unupgraded DNA Extractor can only right a gene for 50 potency, as an exemple, even if you're using a 90 potency seed.

Oh yeah, for sure messages should be send only after round end

I like the idea, I think people would be happy to end and get Karma messages. But i think it would make easier to coordinate karma trades.

With telesci you can get anything to/from any coordinate in any z level. So if you know your cordinates, you can get anything you want, or get something or someone anywhere you want. If people have suit sensors maxed you can also get anyone. One legit use for telesci is getting bodies in space or hard to reach places. I do agree it's too OP and it serves no legit function even thou i like playing with it.

I like the RNG, i think it lower the skill ceiling, and makes for more interesting stories.

I wouldn't like crime stacking per se, but I think the idea of time for repeated offender being higher even for different crimes is good.

I like the idea. I think Karma role should probably be enough filter, even thou people can theoretically get the job without sec xp. I don't think the role make sense thematcally as a VIP, it should be proper sec like pod pilot. Should not have command comms, or be protected by BS or be outside normal chain of command. While people can and do learn from more experienced players, nudging people to teach and nudging noobs to be taught will help.

Ancient crew is people spawned on charlie station? I fond one as a mechanic and was wondering what was that about. I brought the guy back to cyberiad to debrief with cap and NT rep.

Kinda, but there are currently no sanitary measures as part of SoP so NT rep and IAA have no power here

We would have no working kitchen less often and that would lead to more staff interaction with kitchen instead of just drinking chocolate (Do note that Necaladun puts removing food vending machines as "maybe" in his wishlist, this would need food to be more reliable supplied); we also would have no one cleaning the station less often; noob people in services would have someone to teach theirs jobs, and that would make their learning experience easier. Someone to coordinate service would lead to more interactions between the service department, as it is now, service radio is almost never used. It would also lead to easier interactions between departments and service, because now you have someone responsible to bug. If botany is ignoring science, they can bug service QM for plants. If cap or someone wants a special meal, he can bug service QM for it. If there's a disease spreading with bar cure, CMO can ask him to distribute the cure, instead of station relying on breaking into bar, or forming huge lines while the clueless barkeep doesn't know why all the sudden everyone is asking for orange juice. As I said, service roles are the only ones without backup. If you need food and got no chef you're toast. If you need drinks and has no barkeep, you'll need to graytide in. If you want a ceremony for a dead friend and has no chaplain you out of luck, he'll rot in morgue instead. If your workstation is a mess and station have no janitor, it's gonna stay that way. No one's invested in keeping service department working, so it frequently does not work at all. I think in this case that if the job is important enough to be given a slot it's probably important enough to have senior staff as back up, and that's especially true for cook. On a more personal note, as barkeep I find it appalling that my calls to botany to plant and send me sugarcane, or to chef to give me ice-cream goes unheard on service radio. I always must leave the bar and go ask personally, opening the bar to all kinds of greytidery, also if we got no chef, no deal. Pretty sure chef has the same problems if he wants to serve things with drinks. Service would be way better with someone to coordinate it.

Service roles frequently are left abandoned due to AWL or dead personnel, and service is one of the worse departments for that to happen, because it has a high % of one slot jobs. Service personnel also frequently need some guidance regarding mechanics. While they are nominally under HoP, it can't step in in case of need, nor he can give guidance, because of other duties, and job so different that he frequently doesn’t have the knowledge himself. Service department is alone in the station as a department without senior personnel to guide and step in in case of need. More fluffywise, Service QM could also be the Ships Master of Ceremony, organizing events when appropriate, and receiving VIP guests, to make sure they are comfortable, have some nice food and drinks, and are provided adequate entertainment by Mime and Clown, and some interesting spiritual and intellectual conversations by Chaplain and Librarian. I think this would really make the server better, but of course it would require some coding, the job itself should be no problem, but service would need a remap. Can't do the job myself, posting here to check if someone with more maping knowledge likes the idea and takes on the project, and to check if the other players and staff support the idea.

A QM for service certainly shouldn't be a karma role. An inspector, doing something like an IAA could have thou. Really think service should have a head more involved in their business. HoP simply can't handle managing service, and frequently you got kitchen or bar empty, it would be good to have someone to step in. Janitor is also a role that can die or stop working and leave the station in need, and could also use some guidance regarding space cleaner, science upgrades, etc. Lots of rounds botany could use someone to teach them too. Also, if we make a service QM it should take not only kitchen, bar and botany, but the whole service department probably. But honestly service QM and health inspector are different enough that I think they should be discussed separately, I’ll make a new topic. (About the IAA and its relationship with health inspector, as IAA I spend lots of time making sure HoP is informed about how service is doing, and making sure everything is maned. But i really completely ignore how clean is the kitchen and this kind of stuff)

Meta is now ants

Yeah no one's gona try 3 digit code and a word everyround just on the off chance they have a secret uplink.

Think it would be easier if anyone could access the telecrystals with the right ringtone, but only the antags new the code.

Take the identity of one of the heads. Steal the Nuke and the nuke disk. Seek fame as a thief by stealing lots of grand theft objects stealthly, but taunt sec by leaving a note, or a graffiti. If this don't get them to pay attention announce your thefts on comms. Subvert the Ai with some interesting, but not too disruptive laws. Produce some pda messages leading to confusion among command, or framing people for crimes if the RD is reading the logs. Steal a fax machine and convince CC to send some bullshit ERT, like paranormal or janitorial. Or send caps some bullshit CC comms to fuck up with him. I once saw a cap convinced to assfax CC and getting gibbed by an antag with a fax machine. (he luckly was an IPC so he got brough back and demoted). The possibilities are endless.

Unfortunate example on net neutrality since the public is actually on the wrong side of the issue.

That fucking TAU was beyond believe, really wished sec had put him in perma with no radio while the normal brig was being fixed and forgot him there. CMO was also too soft on him. Sec wasted a lot of time with that prick. He also tried to kidnap someone after that, he and his buddy syringed gunned an officer and crowbared them resisting arrest, and his buddy suicided on being caught.
