Move experimentor

[Lolzyking]

 

I feel the experimentor should be moved

 

Reasons

1) it kills random ipcs nearby in science with its emp

2) it emps and sometimes explodes the rnd server

3) it sometimes eats the geneticists and their tourretes farwa's soul

 

 

I feel the best place to move it to, is the research outpost.

 

[Shadeykins]

 

The Experimentor should not be moved anywhere precisely because of #3.

 

All other losses can be written off, I'll happily take any ill effects as long as it's responsible for occasionally ruining a geneticist's day.

 

I'm being dead serious

I think the location is fine, it can't cause any more damage than what the equivalent of a toxins screwup can.

While I'd like the Research Outpost have some use again (Instead of being removed), I don't think the E.X.P.E.R.I.-MENTOR should be moved to it.

If an IPC/ someone with robotic organs/ body parts is using it and an EMP wave goes out (Which WILL happen at least twice per round if they're actively testing), nobody will ever find out they got EMP'd and died unless another scientist happens to be there/ walk into it. They don't show up on the CMC on station, either, and the AI is highly unlikely to look out for them.

Your second point is an issue, however. Perhaps we could move it somewhere else on the station.

I'm worried about people with robotic things or IPC's in maintenance and it EMP'ing...

Ya, hence we should move it somewhere else on station.

 

[NTSAM]

 

EMPs are blocked by blast doors, aren't they?

Why can't we just cram a few into maint?

It'd make sense for the operator to be able to walk to a faraday cage of sorts, so chars like mine with four robotic limbs don't die every time ;_;

Oh yeah, last night, this dude Majordormo Executus or whatever that was a coworker kept getting EMPd.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, it needs a "Warning: Electromagnetic Pulses" sign as well.

 

[Lolzyking]

 

My major problem is IPC outside of the experimentor room die.

 

Also Toxins never destroys the RND server,

 

Do you understand the pain, of getting maxed research, just about to back it up, when chucklefuck machine deletes it all.

 

[MarvinMartian34]

Is it not possible to make the radius of the area that EMPs can go off smaller?

[Spacemanspark]

 

Also, I might mention, it will only roll for a chance to shoot an EMP if you use the 'gas' option.

exactly my thoughts. yello black lines marking a space where random EMPs can occur. it is the same with the Singularity, no sane crew with robotic body parts would go there.

 

although the singularity is on a remote place where nobody can accidently run into it. maybe swap bomb testing with the E.X.P.E.R.I.-MENTOR so it is not in the middle of the station but at the edge

I sense a strong dislike for Genetics on this station.

 

While I'd like the Research Outpost have some use again (Instead of being removed), I don't think the E.X.P.E.R.I.-MENTOR should be moved to it.

I think it wouldn't hurt to move it over there. Not like it's getting any use and it be a way less dangerous location for something as wild as that.

 

Here's a thought. Why not switch it out with the testing lab? No idea what that room is used for but it seems out of the way enough from everything else Science.

 

[Lars]

Side note, could the 5-6 spawned items/critters change each shift? Like, in the old xenoarch pod artifact?

[davidchan]

There is a pretty good reason the /tg/station expirimentor is where our science shuttle is, its far enough away from everything else that even it explodes or sets the air on fire it's not going to destroy anyone else's job.

[MarkvA]

Fox is looking into it.
