Good ideas. I'd like to see zipties stackable and no break upon assisted removal. Additionally, I agree that cable coils should be nerfed to break upon removal. Honestly, in my opinion it'd be like this- Handcuffs- longest time to put on, but hardest to resist out of. Zipties- stackable, medium time to put on, easier to resist out of than handcuffs, does not break on assisted removal Cable cuffs- fastest time to put on, easiest to resist out of, breaks upon assisted removal

I'm just not sure if it's needed. While I wouldn't go as far as to call it "powercreep", I just don't see much utility in the change. The magistrate can conduct nearly all of their business in the brig, bridge, or their office and doesn't often seem to need to announce things to every crew member. Additionally, issues with security not obeying their judgements or breaking space law should be faxed to CC.

Add any ballistic or thrown weapon to the counters.

Not really a fan of this. As someone who plays Magistrate semi-often, I can say that the current Attempted Murder statute is sufficient. It essentially assumes intent based on the suspect putting the victim into crit, which works the best for our server and the limitations of the game, in my opinion. Two hours rounds don't always allow the time needed to properly investigate a crime and determine if the intent of the suspect was murder. Additionally, the limitations of the SS13 forensics system can also prevent that determination. By using crit as the bar between aggravated assault and attempted murder, we simplify the distinction to allow for easier gameplay.

One tip I can give for captain is to avoid a common pitfall many captains fall into. You need to find a balance between direct action and delegation. It is important to remember that your individual heads of staff should be assumed competent to run and manage their departments. Additionally, to properly run their departments, they need to know what is going on in their department. This is to say that it is generally a bad idea to be micromanaging individual departments. If something needs to be done in a department, it is generally best to delegate it to the appropriate head of staff. On the flip side, it is important to be able to recognize a deficient head of staff or a department that is performing poorly. When these are locate, it's a good idea to consult a second opinion like that of the NT Rep as to what the appropriate action should be. Obviously, if the head of staff or department in question is acting extremely negligent, the situation may call for immediate action.

Title of Event: Saw, in space! (or Would You Rather) Pretense (if you want me to message the station prior) Central Command sends an update to the station's crew stating that one of their diamond-tier donors, a local space aristocrat (with a fancy name), is looking for contestants for a reality show. It is also detailed that the aristocrat is looking for ten volunteers from non-critical occupations (assistants mostly would work best as to avoid impacting the station) and that the winner will become the heir to the aristocrat's fortune. Equipment Necessary(Style of equipment, flavor, surroundings what do you want?): Aristocrat: older man, fancy clothes, and a cane should do. Additionally, a shuttle will be needed to ferry the contestants between arrivals and Central Command. Finally, the admin construction area will be used as the location for the games and will need to be set up with a separate chamber for each round along with a starting area (where the contestants wake up), a victory room (luxurious wood floored room with plush furniture and maybe a fireplace) where the winner will receive their prize, and a observation room where the aristocrat will observe the game and use intercoms to communicate with the contestants. Plot (if one exists): After all set up is complete, the pretense CC report will be sent, and the aristocrat will arrive on his shuttle at a arrivals docking port. Ten contestants will be allowed onto the shuttle, at which point the outer door will be bolted (perhaps the aristocrat has a remote with access) to prevent further people from boarding. Once on the shuttle, all ten contestants will be required to strip naked and all of their belongings besides their ID will be placed into a locked closet. Then, all ten contestants will receive a different colored jumpsuit (ten different colored jumpsuits would be already placed in a locker on the shuttle). At this point, either all ten contestants will be asked to blindfold and handcuff themselves (perhaps the aristocrat is rather paranoid and wishes to keep the location of his space mansion a secret) OR they will all be knocked out by N2O / other means and blindfolded and cuffed. Once all of these steps are complete, the shuttle departs for Central Command. Once the shuttle has arrived at Central Command, the contestants will be teleported or otherwise moved to the starting area in the game chambers and the aristocrat will be placed in the observation room. At this point, the aristocrat will inform the contestants to remove their handcuffs and blindfolds via intercom and they will each deposit the items onto a table or into a locker. Once all of the contestants have done this, the door to the first game chamber will open and the contestants will be told to enter it. From this point forward, each room is a round of the game and one person must be eliminated each round. By eliminated, I mean they will suffer more gruesome and immoral deaths as the rounds progress. Each room will be a different type of puzzle or morality-based game where the contestants will decide who lives and who dies. Eventually, in the last game chamber, one of the two remaining contestants will perish and the victor will continue into the victory room. In the victory room, the victor will find the aristocrat, and will be presented with a choice. They can either leave through the exit (takes them to the shuttle, allowing them to go back to the station empty handed), kill the aristocrat and go back to the station empty handed, or take the winnings (the aristocrats fortune) and go back to the station. Prize for Completion? (If yes, then explain): A large fortune of cash along with some other swanky items that a rich space aristocrat might hold dear. Custom Sprites/OGG's? (If yes, provide me a link, or request from something you've seen before from me): As of right now, I don't believe any custom assets would be required. However, if location based midis are possible, some spooky scary tone-setting music would work. I'll look for some stuff and edit this.

Hello, I'm a very long standing ArmA 3 guy. Mostly life servers, but I'm down for tac ops and stuff. Not a huge fan of Epoch or BR tbh, but I'm down for doing scenarios and other shit.
-
Just thought I'd throw my two cents in. I like the unique sprites and feature. Perhaps to balance it out, make it so that the magazines are susceptible to being EMP'd. If EMP'd, they loose all their ammo or something like that. I feel like that SHOULD handle any balance issues.

Hail, Cyberiad. Federation Colony Roanoke Here.

@SomeGuy9283 Alright cool. Only concerns I see are these: Labor camp is not used super often, however science outpost is often used for cults and such. This would probably have to be something where the roles are only available if the player count is over a certain number to avoid important jobs on the Cyberiad not being filled. Also, while I like the whole splitting mining, there would have to be a way to make sure that if the player count is below the threshold, mining responsibility to turned back to the Cyberiad. The only thing I don't like about switching mining back and forth, is that it seems that would be be inconsistent from round to round. -

Would it just be a z level type of deal, or a whole different server? Regardless, I really like this idea. -
What if it worked on examine within a certain range depending on the object or something. Stealthier actions would require you to be closer to see what they're doing, and more overt actions could be seen on examine from farther.

Could we have it so that if someone has a Weapon Permit on their ID permissions that it shows up on their security records?

Show the IAA's and the magistrate some love
BrandonSacawv replied to Jared12100's topic in Suggestions
I feel like a simple change could be to edit the current trial guidelines. Currently, security can deny someone a trial, even if the magistrate requests one- which makes no sense as the magistrate is supposed to be the final say on space law. Obviously, if a magistrate is caught abusing this, they should be job banned. Additionally, it is already on the trial guidelines that trials should only be held for capital crimes. -
Alright cool. I only added the keycard auth as someone else suggested it to me, and it made sense considering that the NT Rep has one. Regardless, my original and strongest point on the list is the bridge access. I feel like if a specific magistrate is overstepping or acting as if they are in command, they could just be job banned.
-
Alright, what about just the bridge access? Magistrates often have to interface with members of command. Additionally, the SOP counterpart to the Magistrate, the NT Rep, has those things.
-
Add Bridge Access, Keycard Authentication Access, and a Keycard Authentication Device in Magistrate's office please. <3

Agreed, however it sucks taking people out of the game when you don't have enough blood / don't want to use the blood to thrall someone. I made this suggestion just to provide an alternative to killing people you bite who you can't / don't want to thrall.
-
My suggestion is to make the Vampire Hypnotize ability give the victim a message that they don't remember anything from before they were hypnotized. Obviously, it would rely on player cooperation and RP, but it would be nice to be able to do that instead of killing someone after you've sucked some blood. Sometimes it feels bad taking a player out of the game early, and it'd be nice to have that option.

Ah, apologies then, this can be closed out.

Hey just seeing if we could get the following pages updated: https://nanotrasen.se/wiki/index.php/Space_law https://nanotrasen.se/wiki/index.php/Le ... _Procedure In multiple places on both pages, it states that only the Captain or Magistrate may authorize executions. However, as I found out today and was told by a Senior Admin, if you are an Enemy of the Corporation, the HoS can also authorize your execution. This may be confusing for some people as it states on the wiki otherwise. Thanks

I think there would be less effort required to simply pen the bodybag with a note saying to not clone. Regardless, there should be some sort of work around so that the person could end up back in the game. Whether that is an emag ability, or something else, needs to be discussed.
