Man I'm still in love with the art style, yikes. Keep it up.

Damn you're a fucking GOD at this, your drawings actually make them look alive and real, insane. Keep it up, boy.

Make it reinforced walls, then no one will weld it down. /shrug

Welp. @Ionward graciously contributed some small sprite update to the box we're going to use. I'll be trying to include the following set-up: 1x cable coil of 15 pieces each, 1x emergency welder, 15 units, 1x oil can 35 units (I think that's a pretty reasonable consideration, given how any other species doesn't get any means of restoring their blood) I'll see to getting it done and PR'd in some forseeable time. Right now I'm tired.

Be observer. Watch Mechanic break into Syndie Depot with enough tools to build another miracle. Watch Mechanic break through walls. Watch Mechanic break into trap room filled with plasma tiles and a welded shut plasma airlock. Watch Mechanic be smart enough not to-- nevermind, he welded the plasma airlock, chain reaction, everything burns and blows up, Mechanic dies to depot explosion blast. Good stuff.

Times shall now have changed, my friend. A new era is dawning in the horizon.

I think it was just never thought of in the first place, which is why it's not added in. IPCs are pretty much untouched when it comes to newcrit, so my straight forward guess is that it was never thought of, cause no one really expected IPCs to need it.

Good idea in my opinion. Every other race gets an emergency kit, so why shouldn't IPCs? I think adding some very small cable (15 pieces) and an emergency welder are a fine addition as well, nothing too game changing, and it's all fair.

Honestly, short and simple, the karma system in my opinion supports those with the bigger friend circles. If you have a party of like 5-7 people that meme with you every round? Violá, there's your karma laundering coming from. Just how I feel about it.

I can tell you from personal experience, you aren't too far off with your assumption.

That's what I implied with the chip though. To remove nanites just like that seems impossible as they're on a microscale and impossible to pinpoint with human capabilities, so a chip that controls them to remove seems like a more suitable, fair and balanced idea.

Except it really doesn't. EMPs deactivate them temporarily, as where removing them deactivates it forever. I'd also imagine it to be pretty hard to remove tumors with a flashlight, let alone a penlight, the game doesn't always makes sense, so it'd be just about alright if you can remove nanites with a hemostat. Just imply it's a chip and if said chip gets removed, all spreaded nanites die off due to losing connection with said chip. And just stun-cuff-remove wouldn't really work either. You can always include abilities for the AI that can tamper with an infected persons mind, like having them have a one time free ability or something,

However to give this an effective countermeasure I'd like to propose that - just much like terror spider eggs or sling tumors - that they can be removed via surgery. This may sound a little strong now, but it'd be just realistic and reasonable for surgeons to be able to remove the nanites entirely. Cost should be a factor here. Nanites should be easy to be put into the victims head at low cost, though harder to activate in order to control someones will. You could also put it on a timer similiar to borers where it takes a specific time for someone to be converted to the AIs will.

Honestly, you might as well throw this suggestion in for Doctor and Engineer. I see an equal amount of bad doctors and engineers who really don't know what they're doing and it's just a pain most of the time because if they don't know what they're doing while most of the station counts on them, then it's just no fun for anyone. I personally don't really have any idea of how to counteract this, because how is anyone going to learn the ropes or basics of a job if they're unable to play it? At the same time, what I said above. It's kind of a pickle.

When Central cuts your oxygen supplies and instead sends all of their available flora reserves to the station. Just another day in Science Department. I mean, really, what did the Research Director think could go possibly wrong if the intern is told to fetch a new supply of Plasma for Toxins? The aftermath of the one time I accidentially put a backpack into a bag of holding which then, in return and due to a bug, still spawned a Singularity, eating half of Medbay. Robotics also just released their new mixtape and tried uploading it to their latest batch of Cyborgs. The result and following feedback was pure fire!
