NoX

I don't usually use my pda, except to check crew records to find someone. Do love flashlight though, and would Love to see newscaster support, and maybe some arcade games or an arcade games cartridge. I do like the features it has now though, and would love to see how this evolves.

Well as a career janitor myself, this is not a bad idea, however, why not make it so there are enough janitor slots so there is 1 per 2 departments, and each department has a closet with cleaning supplies, but not necessarily a janicart. A janitorial hub would be the best place for those anyways. As far as a "head" janitor, that is unnecessary, as in this line of work, you answer to any manager, so each head of staff would have some responsibility to report messes and give some level of direction when they need something cleaned, if they so chose. Though really, the station could go well enough with 2-3 janitor slots. And the closets could be more spread out if necessary, they wouldn't need more than enough material to restock a janicart, and maybe have specific protective gear per area (extra gloves/aprons).

Before I continue, NO, I am not suggesting giving borgs super powers. What I am suggesting, is a fix for mech suits with borgs in them. It's a capital idea, really, to put an MMI into a ripley, and let it help out, however this is littered with annoying problems, so to fix them, Super Borgs, Mech Suit sized borgs designed specifically to fill roles for big jobs. Super Security Borg: this XL security Borg is designed to handle big situations, with extra modules such as a Riot Shield, and in red alert, a small capacity grenade launcher. The HoS can swipe their ID to unlock its blockade mode, allowing the Borg to bolt itself in place in a 3x2 size (rather than 2x2, and able to use a mounted flasher, and maybe a turret with non lethal stun rounds. Super Engineering Borg: this XL Engineering Borg is ready for meteor rounds, with expanded construction capacity, bigger repair abilities, and rescue functions for spaced employees. CE can swipe their ID to unlock the Borg's workstation mode with auto lathe and proximity repair drones. Super Medical Borg: This Borg is for high profile medical situations, with 2 sleeper pods on its back pack and the ability to quickly produce basic medicine on the fly and release it as a hypospray in small doses. It is fast and unfold an emergency stretcher with a patient computer in its chest for emergency surgeries, for the cost of a Cmo ID swipe. Super service Borg: this super service machine is the definitive party assistant, able to dispense large quantities of food and drink, and has an unfolding mini-bar at the swipe of the bartender's ID for private office parties. The Service Borg can double as a cargo assistant, able to carry crates to different departments when there is no service to deliver normally.

We have a monster hunter chat on skype, mostly staff. I don'tmind inviting someone outside of staff in. I'm also the only person without 4U. Yeah that sounds great. I just got the game for Earthdivine too, go ahead and add us both. My skype is noxmodel001

So I'm NoX, i was one of the players who helped start the server, specifically I put real books into the library (also some bad fanfic and oc). I build Gundam models and various other plamo, play video games on my 65" TV, and also hunt in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate for 3DS (pm me if you wanna hunt). As far as the station goes, I occasionally play, as my computer is shit. But I play roboticist, Chemist, PAI, and HoS (much to the dismay of Earthdivine and crom). I can rebuild most of the machines on the station hella fast, and my specialty is churning out borgs. I think that's about it really. My game names are Thomas Light, Albert Wily, and as a pAI, I am usually Bane.exe

I was thinking it would have some Borg standard modules, maybe an engineers welder and possibly stun baton or cuffs, so that it could still be useful while mainly being used by science as an excuse to break things, or let it be used by security or engineering as a test unit. Nanotrasen is experimenting with plasma in the game's lore, so a new Borg that uses plasma in some fashion makes sense.

So I've been thinking of ways to give the roboticist a bit more to do, and help add fun new mechanics to the station, and Earthdivine liked the idea, so here we go: A new experimental Borg for the station with new prototype modules: Transform (just the droideka rolling form) Jet pack Compact Mass Driver (robot transforms into a mounted mass driver, and when someone puts something into the Borg, it lauches it) Plasma refinery (turns plasma into sheets or converts it to power) Shortwave teleporter (teleport randomly up to 15 tiles in any direction on the same z-level, but not through walls) Then some standard Borg modules. Now these all sound well and cool, but there's a catch. As the Borg is completely new and still in the experimental stage, it's modules will randomly malfunction or break when used, as an example it may accidentally Fire items from its mass driver backwards or the jetpack will start sputtering out smoke, or the teleporter will only work on half the Borg. This allows the roboticist to be more active in his role, and gives a player more things to play with, that may work incredibly well or end in disaster, a nice level of risk/reward is what I'm going for with this Borg, though it may need to be karma purchased.

If the pAI were to change records, I would recommend making an ID swipe function built in, giving the pAI a sort of "basic access" code, so if it were security, it would also act like a security pAI, or same with the medical version. For this to work, however, i would also recommend that the only way for the pAI to be able to do this is if they are DNA-locked to the person wo swiped the ID. and now that I'm thinking about it again, how about the pAI can fight viruses? like the ones that say they appear in the brig. And make it one of those button press RPGs like the arcade machines, then you can virus bust like megaman.exe, would be interesting too, if when the snack machines go crazy the pAI could plug into one and literally battle it, and if it wins it goes back to normal. Would need some sort of draw back if it loses. Also pAI programs could add, in addition to the flashlight from before, a chemical mixing simulator, so the chemist can see what something will make before he makes it (could become available with a chemist ID swipe if that feature is added, locked programs for different jobs), a camera viewer (could also be locked to security and command), Newscaster app, online library viewer (Ebooks!), arcade app (though more suited to the actual PDA), ID locked app for RD or robotics could also be a borg status console (without the ability to lockdown or destroy them though maybe), access to requests console (based on what type of ID is swiped), and/or a security hailer (also locked to a SEC ID), OH, and maybe a hologram emitter, so the pAI can sort of move around like the AI in a room without going into drone mode, and looking spiffy as heck talking to people. also what about plugging a pAI into a borg or spider drone, unoccupied, to give it free range? Though that would probably be a bit much. though that gives me an idea... Syndi-pAI evil pAI working with syndicate, full of evil technology! Stealth doorjack, flash (1 use), stun baton (1 use), lock decryptor (for secure briefcase and wallsafes), fake beepsky drone sprite? Could be interesting to add to syndicate rounds...

Ok so as a person who has played pAI regularly, I have a few suggestions. First off, being a pAI is cool, but you can spend a long time doing nothing, even if your owner is doing stuff. So these changes make the pAI more of a usable tool, rather than someone to follow you around. The ability to plug the pAI into computers or even the wall APC, giving them control of the devices in the room, or that device specifically, allowing the pAI to assist the owner more directly in their work. Make the Universal Translator a basic app or make it cheaper; the pAI seems to absolutely need it to understand anyone. give the pAI the ability to pull small objects in drone mode, so that they can bring tools to their owner. The pAI also needs a flashlight, as a basic app. These changes are mostly to give the pAI more versatility, and to make them more interesting to play and own. If only one change is made, I would love them to be able to be plugged into machines or APCs. Thanks for listening.

Everything i post is either OC, or heavily edited. I used to be a sprite comic author, so i may post regularly now, we'll see. I'm working on superhero gear, so get ready for that.
